You know what, fair play
Wow
3 great test matches, 3 great run chases
Wrapped up with a 6 into the stands. Bravo.
Pretty incredible to be 55-6 in the first innings and still win so comfortably. 7 wickets is a big win in any game of cricket. I think they could have chased 450 on that track.

Should have known better, 126-2, Croft out.
….163-2, Croft is on 24, Jennings in the nervous nineties.
(Edit - Jennings out 94. 167-3).

177-4, no more posting today !
….Lancs finish on 226-4. Hard to predict what the plan is, presume try & bat positively for two sessions & establish a lead.

Bit of a frustrating day for Lancs I think. After dismissing opener Dent early they struggled to dismiss the Glos tail, only finishing them off just before lunch. They then lost the in form Wells to the 1st ball after lunch and while Jennings played well, Bohannon looked out of touch - solid enough defensively but unable to keep the scoreboard ticking - 34 off 137 balls before he was bowled by a beauty from David Payne. Jennings fell 6 short of a deserved century when he was caught behind, Vilas was trapped lbw for 1, which left Croft to hold things together. He continued his fine season with 49no at the close, while Salt played some lovely shots in his 33no off 32balls, to give the innings some impetus.
Credit to Gloucester's medium-pacers who bowled accurately throughout - the new ball is due early tomorrow and will be crucial to Lancs' hopes of only batting once in the game.
