….I’d have thought Lancs will need 4 full sessions to bowl Glous out. 300 ahead, surprised if the declaration doesn’t come over tea.

…Gloucester 67-3 at close, Lancs with a fine chance of winning tomorrow. Terrific delivery from Hassan Ali, thought he was impressive.
Bohannon will be in the England team before long, he’s brilliant
Only thing stopping Lancs from winning the title this season is how many internationals may get taken out the side - could feasibly have Bohannon, Anderson, Mahmood, and Parkinson

By sheer chance I've followed Bohannon since he signed for Lancs, after seeing an interview with him that showed how genuinely thrilled he was to sign for the club. Plus he didn't really look like a budding athlete! I saw his early struggles in the 2nd xi when he was thought of as an all-rounder, then starting to get runs and earning a call up to the 1st tea; his 50 on debut under the lights at the Oval really impressed; his first century and bonding with Glenn Maxwell- who really rated him. Now this double hundred where what stood out for me was his discipline and concentration - just what England need. I think he's still improving.
Have to say the Gloucester attack bore no resemblance to what he will face in Test cricket - it's weak even by county standards - so there will be bigger challenges, starting next week against Hampshire, and some other young players have also been in the runs. Hopefully some of them will be given a chance by England, rather than reverting to the same old faces.
