Promising day for Glos ,poor run out at the end the only real down side.
Nearest rivals Hampshire getting skittled also a bonus !

Close of play and Northants are 108 ahead with 5 wickets left. They took good advantage of conditions and the pitch early on with some good bowling,Robinson batted well for 49,but was dropped several times. Then it was Ollie Robinson against Northants,he bowled superbly again but Keogh went on the attack and deserved more.

Yet another young quickie opening the bowling - Joe Sarro. How did he bowl? I see he took a key early wicket but then went for a few runs.

He bowled OK TO start with but too many short balls which went for easy runs.

[summerisle]

They shall not pass start from Lancashire, 8-0, 9 overs.

 

[big nev lookalike]

Sussex 154-4 at stumps,still 181 behind. Massive ask to get close to making them bat again.

 

[summerisle]

Close, Lancashire 22-0. As the weather forecast for tomorrow is dire I would think that Lancashire will just bat for bonus points on Sunday. A draw this season is now worth eight points so if they bat well they should do OK.

Hope the weather is better at Lords. . .Glos in control after 2 days

Delighted to see one of the 'unfashionable' counties doing well. If Lancs don't win it I'd be happy to see Glos or Northants or Durham win it. Actually, anyone but Yorks. Or Surrey. Or Essex.
