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

Yep agree but one day he is going to hit

Yeah, he was found batting for Nantwich or someone of similar standing when he’d hit about 350 not out in a 50 over match

Some of our other batters should take a leaf out of Currans batting straight hitting down the ground

 

[DMA's]

Just brain dead batting. You’ve got enough from the over just milk it no need to slog slog slog slog. Hopefully we bat out the overs

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Curran getting in on the act - big hit, big hit, big hit, out.

5 overs to go and two wickets.

Doesn’t really matter if you pick the right balls to hit. He’s just got out repeating what Livingstone did. Everything must go until it is him that must go.

Large band of rain due in about an hour. We’re unlikely to lose it, but have an outside chance of winning if we can bowl them out in time.

Will SA make 10?

South Africa being got out some great bowling

Sam Northeast on track to break Lara’s record. I played against him at youth level. He should have had a better career.

Might give it a watch after their lunch. 205 for 1000 runs too in 65 overs.

Slightly crazy that they've scored nearly 800 and are only 200 clear.

3rd new ball just after lunch will be key- remember Lara getting a 4 off the last ball of the game to reach 500. He was dropped early on and one of the slips says "I bet he goes on to get 100 now".

He's on 410 as of now (going by the BBC website anyway). 82 runs to go to pass Lara's record for a first class innings. And just the 4th player to pass 400 in a County Championship game (Lara, Graeme Hick and AC McLaren being the others).

My other team Glamorgan could be making records very soon after lunch
* Sam Northeast needs just 15 more runs to be 2nd highest scorer in CC history.
* Northeast and Cooke are just 27 runs away from breaking the World Record 6th wicket partnership.
* would be only the 8th time ever for 800 runs in the CC.

The Leics bowling figures don't make for pretty reading.....






They could feasibly end up with 8 bowlers conceding 100 runs!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They’ve declared!

Unbelievable.

 

[Gray]

They have declared, what a pity.
