Cricket

England Lions had a good day. Made 672, in reply to South Africa's 433, Duckett 145, Brooks 140, Lawrence 97, Billings 92, Jennings made 27. South Africa second Inns 59-3, 180 behind
 
Won the toss - again !


Lancs 6-2 in the 4th over, both openers gone for ducks, all the runs extras.

Hampshire having an amazing run, winning something like their last 13 games in all competitions, despite fielding a much weakened team in this competition.

I watched a bit of their win at Derby in the last game - could have gone either way but they just squeaked home thanks to fine innings by two youngsters, Middleton and Albert. Have to say Brook Guest played the most stylish innings of the game for Derby, not for the first time this season.

Edit - make that 7-3, Bohannon joining the duck club.
 
Lancashire finally dribbled to 183 all out, 4.3 overs left.
Fine innings by Jones - great to see him playing so well - and good support from Croft but otherwise it was disastrous, Hurt 14 and Lavelle 13 the only others to reach double figures. Five ducks!

Credit to the young Hampshire bowlers, Turner, Campbell and Currie, while another, Kelly, is still not 17. Some players for @Alan Whittle to look out for!

Yes, the academy has been working overtime turning out some good young prospects. The counties being able to give them game time is about the only upside of The 100 imo.
We have not been hit as hard as some counties for this competition so doing “ the white ball double” is a real possibility.
Somehow we’ll find a way to bungle The CC.
