300 or a lead of the same?

Good 50 for Williams and Salt ticking along nicely, but there is just so much time left in this game. Lancashire’s morning and Smith’s drop might be costly.

300+ on the board for a start, 200 lead, and hope the wicket dries out and cracks with the weather as it isn't doing much.

Double Bill getting his record score helps, but suggests we may have to bat all day.

Big fine and points deduction coming Yorkshire's way. Lancashire supporters might not be seeing a Roses match for a while.

That would be a difficult call, particularly as he’s likely to retire at the end of the series. Not saying you’re wrong, just not sure the selectors would be that brave.

So Anderson gets Lords, misses Headingley; then gets Old Trafford and probably misses the Oval?

They are in different divisions already.

I'm not suggesting he should be retained, and if he is as ineffective at Lord's and England are two down, then they may have to act. However, their culture is to remain loyal to the players that have done so well in the last 18 months, so I just cannot see them changing.

I know. Maybe they could be put down to the Minor Counties Championship...

If they can get a lead of 250 you never know.

All Surrey’s wins this season have seen them chasing down teams in fourth innings, including last week’s big one in Canterbury. Good knock by Williams.
