Not much chance of any play today, weather is awful in South Manchester.

12.30 start

What a pointless set of games this looks like being, one result probably out of the lot. Early April is too early for 4 day cricket in this country.

8 points on the board, would have been 5 last year.

Essex have stolen the march.

I remember going to the first CC game of the season at the real OT sometime in the early/ mid 80s, I think, against Hampshire. There was hardly any play in the morning session and we left for Warwick Rd station early afternoon in a snowstorm. By the time we got to Piccadilly, the sun was out and by the time stumps were drawn, Stephen Jefferies had hit a century.

Lancs got a couple of early wickets vs Hampshire, but since then the seam bowling has been pretty poor. Hopefully Lyon can get a wicket or two soon.

Lyon's picked up 2 wickets, Hampshire 163/4

Love his positivity despite what he has faced and what is ahead of him.

Shame for George Bell, who ran himself out on 99.

Lancs doing well, but there’ll be draws everywhere with these kookaburra balls.
