Superb! Haha.

Can’t they give them both out :-))))

I disagree, you could tell he hadn’t hit it without having to actually see a gap.

The 3rd umpire could have used the head on camera angle to double check too.

Fair enough - I thought it was out as the ball didn't seem to change direction after passing the bat. But if it was the other way round, I would probably have argued that snicko showed he hit it or at the very least was inconclusive ‍.

I’d have said it was out both ways!

Are the Lancashire set up fucking stupid or what? Bohannon picked again to open. Out for 4 off 6 balls - playing with a straight bat and then bowled trying to do what doesn`t come natural to him.

At least they`ve recognised that Wells is in great form and have opened with him instead of playing him down the order.

Think Croft is going for a record number of balls faced without scoring, top of the order is just pitiful in 20/20.

Appalling shot decision from all 3 wickets so far - the off field tactics/coaching is dreadful - Wells should have been told to play the anchor role - Jones playing a straight bat first ball and then a failed reverse sweep second ball - it`s as if there is no plan when they go into bat
It`s as if it`s hit and hope - and hope somebody gets lucky

Blundell and Mitchell are 2 quality players with sound techniques.Just shows you can put away the short form stuff if you have the dedication and want to bat time.

Lancs link if anyone wants

I assume that Stokes isn't fit enough to bowl, so England have a very thin bowling attack. Over 35 overs of spin on day one must be a rarity in England, and Leach has bowled almost all day.
