Great to see Anderson back to his best. Forget Broad knocking over a few tailenders to bolster his stats, this lad is the leader of the attack and the first bowler on the teamsheet. Pick of the bowlers-again.

Hopefully get to see him hit the 600 mark today.
Oooo, 597 ticked off as I write
....what a privilege to have witnessed the careers of Anderson and Broad.

That was the plan but i heard last night the umps saw the forecast and saw it was going to be raining so abandoned that idea and decided it'll be added on late today.
You'd think they'd just wait until the morning just in case though.

The umpires looked at the forecast last night which suggested early rain, so decided to add on time at the end of the day's play.

Breakthrough for Lancs - Kohler-Cadmore brilliantly caught by Jennings at slip off Bailey for 18, 53-1. Reward for Bailey who's bowled superbly; at the other end George Burrows, on his debut, bowled some good balls but also plenty of loose balls which released the pressure applied by Bailey. He runs in off less than 10 paces and, while he clearly has potential, looks very much what he is: a rookie who in a normal year would be playing 2nd team cricket only.

Watching the highlights so far. Really nice the way the Pakistani players rush to congratulate Crawley after he’s out. Makes me feel all warm inside

Yorkies 97-4 at lunch, Lyth 45no, which I think they'll be happy with as there's been plenty of movement for the bowlers and Lancs could and should have had three or four more wickets. There's been at least three dropped catches and a few near LBWs. Jennings took one fine slip catch but then inexplicably dropped a straightforward one. Lyth's took advantage of loose balls bowled by debutant Burrows, but then dug in when the medium pacers Balderson and Lamb came on. They both bowled accurately, stemmed the scoring, and Lamb reaped the reward with two quick wickets. Burrows returned to the attack and got his first 1st class wicket with a poor ball that Brook slashed straight to Bohannon.
Strange game with both sides weakened by injuries and international call ups but if conditions stay the same and the rain holds off there is every chance of a result.
Elsewhere, I see the impressive Adam Finch finished with 4 wickets for Surrey, the least he deserved after some fine bowling yesterday.

....for the Bob Willis Trophy games, I listen to Lancashire commentary via BBC website but I understand all games are streamed live on the county websites.
No wickets but Archer looks much more likely to unsettle with these short bursts
Thats a great catch. Funny what a couple of big scores can do for your confidence
