An excellent day.

Where are we standing on Mankad ?, particularly on yesterday's Chatlie Dean dismissal. I'm old school so think it's disappointing to see. A warning first would be in the spirit of the game, I can live with that.

I don’t even think it’s should have been out according to the laws of the game.

Laws say you should be in your ground until the “expected release point” I thought Dean did that.

Also worth noting that the laws permit batsmen to steal a run while a bowler is running up, can you imagine that not actually being that hard with a long run up such as Hazelwood’s. Would the people who say the laws permit it so it’s ok be ok with that one?

Jennings out for 199, Lancashire currently 486-7, Balderson 87, Bailey 14.

 

[summerisle]

Lancashire 501-8, squeaky bum time for Balderson who's on 93.

 

[Lanolin]

If I was Balderson I would be wrapping my bat around Tom Bailey's head round about now.

Gutted for Jennings and Balderson.

Lancs well on top now with Surrey three down for thirty odd, but rain has predictably stopped play. Can't help but worry that the weather will once again be the winner here looking at the forecast.

Is it not the case that the ball is considered coming into play from the moment the bowler starts his/her run in? That is evident from what you have copied and pasted: '...from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non striker is liable to be Run out...' The ball comes into play the moment the bowler takes his/her first step on his/her run up to the crease. Nothing more complicated than that. Dean got it wrong completely by being out of the crease before the ball had been bowled.

I think " normally expected to release the ball " is the question here. The bowler was surely in that position.

Surrey 189-8, 32 runs behind. Meanwhile, although the pitch was deemed 'poor', no points deduction for that Essex pitch last week. Apparently it couldn't be proved that it was deliberately prepared to be crap. lol

 

[summerisle]

Surrey 209, and following on, 2-0. Three wickets apiece for Williams and Hartley.

 

[summerisle]

Two quick wickets, Surrey 113-2, 190 behind.

Tom Hartley might be better than Parky

 

[summerisle]

Surrey 149-7, Hartley 4-44, 7-72 in the match so far.

Closing in now on the win, and inflicting the first defeat for Surrey, and by an innings to boot. Surrey 156-8, Hartley 5-46.
