Gloucestershire's only hope is rain. 70 ahead with 1 wicket left.

I know grr. They lost their last five wickets for 21 runs ffs

West Indies v India in Trinidad nobody in the stadium, how times have changed in the Caribbean. The only time there is a half decent crowd is when the Barmy Army are on tour.

Surrey, Hampshire, and Lancashire all win. Intriguingly, the final fixture of the County Championship sees Surrey travel to Lancashire in September. Would be nice if both still had something to play for.

Interesting to see if we will approach this like a T20.

Should do, but the damp conditions will lower the rate.

Yes, probably letting Hampshire through the gate. Surrey closed last season in late September with the Oval basked in the most glorious sunshine, but I suspect dress regulation at Old Trafford will be Sou’westers and galoshes.

Isn’t his back the problem?

Let’s see what the Lancs duo can do !!

 

[domalino]

Englands first wicket partnership averaged about 100 for 7 years and within weeks under a new coach and captain its dropped to aboit 15.

 

[waspish]

They have start playing more straight the cross bat shit is alright with few overs left

 

[domalino]

They dropped butler down the order so he would be around at the end…

They just need to stop being dickheads about it.

It’s an ODI not the Hundred. You’ve got 13 overs left and you’re the last proper batsman in.

Trying to send every single ball for 6 isn’t aggressive it’s stupid.

 

[waspish]

Great straight shot by Curran! Noticed we started the sweep shot more cross shot more now and we losing wickets

Sadly, people expected it after the 4 tests in a row we pulled it off.

What are the odds of rolling a double 6 on 4 consecutive rolls?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Livingstone in a nutshell. Gets carried away and holes out again.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Another Livingstone short burst, when sustained may have been better.

Regarding shot selection of others, the mania to reverse sweep so much recently is a bit silly. Hard to get right, and if you miss, you'll likely be out lbw.
