Cricket

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.

I've found live coverage via the Fred Boycott twitter feed!
 
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.
