I've not heard of Carse before the last two weeks!

That won't be an easy chase. But it looked like it might have been another 30-40 runs at one stage.

 

[jimharri]

Solid start from Roy and Bairstow, though Bairstow has just been dropped. 47-0 after 10 overs.

Feels a bit sleepy at the cricket.

Maybe they're setting up the game so Stokes can hit a quick century and win the match against the odds?

Lance 116/8, 119 behind. Couple of dodgy looking lbw shouts, but we’ve been rubbish with the bat today.

Really good game developing at the Oval between Surrey and Essex. It has ebbed and flowed nicely over the first two days.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Northants 67/6, 170 ahead. Really bowler friendly conditions though at the county ground.

That wicket at Northants must be very dodgy.

Northants struggling as Lancs did, could be all over today.

Northants not struggling now. The age old problem of the tail wagging against us. 64 runs for the 8th wicket unbroken, up to now. Grrrrrrr.

I spoke too soon.

It happens far too often similarly with England. Will Williams looks to be a find it has to be said, economical and a wicket taker very suprised he's never got a look in with New Zealand.

Boult and Southee never seem to be injured and also been around for about 15 years!

This will be a great win if Lancs pull this off.
Surrey winning again :-(

We’ll do well to win from here, but you never know.

Surrey have a much stronger squad than us this season, sadly.

 

[Gabriel]

Surrey get the 50 up without loss. Need 110 to win from here.

Took two wickets in the first innings but only maidens so far in this one. Surrey in a strong position and have plenty time left, a situation I thought impossible until Jacks intervened.

Spoke too soon. Rory just top edged one from Harmer. 63-1 with 98 needed. Probably come back tomorrow.
