Come on lancs, try and get to around 200 ahead to make a game of it.

...all out 164, Glamorgan require 188 to win.

Certainly won’t be a draw.

They'll have to accumulate the biggest innings of the match so far to win... Must be something in the wicket for the scores to be so low.

....loads of lbw, seems like some were dodgy. No 50 partnership in the match, seems difficult to score on even if a batsman plays safe.

Badly needed wicket (Parkinson) for Lancashire, Glamorgan 78-1.

...Lancs look on the way to a defeat. Perhaps not a bad thing to get a loss out of the way at this stage.

Great spell of bowling from Neser after lunch and a silly run out put Lancs in trouble. Livingstone again played like it was a T20 game and got out with another poor shot. All very frenetic until Danny Lamb and Mahmoud batted carefully for over an hour, showing there wasn't too much wrong with the wicket.

Mahmoud then bowled superbly for Lancs with no luck, but the openers played well with a 72 run partnership before a lovely Parkinson googly had Cooke caught at slip. Bailey then had Lloyd caught before Mahmoud returned to dismiss Root and have Carlson in a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, Labuschagne looked a class above everyone else and was untroubled in making a run a ball 32, just knocking it around with nothing risky (apart from some quick singles).

Defeat looks odds on - as you say it may be best to get it out of the way now.

…early wicket for Lancs but it looks too little too late.

 

[tsubaki]

what a 20 minutes of horror

….Lancs defeated by Glamorgan, Northants and Yorks both look like they are heading for draws.

Great resolve from Burns to get to 100

Hope you're right - need Sussex to bat properly, 245 behind on 1st innings. About time Travis Head earned his money.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That knock by Burns has given a chance of the draw. They really should draw from here but I doubt it will be straightforward. Will probably have to bat 70 overs or so.

Uncharacteristic collapse vs the Kiwis but this England team should still have too much for NZ. To be fair though, NZ is no longer awful at cricket...
just not at the level of the giants of the game ...in order of might England 1, India 2, Australia 3
