The only positive from all Lancs games so far is that they’ve managed to dig in for the draw at the end.

Everything else is dreadful.

A brilliant win for Lancs women in the one day cup yesterday. Fi Morris scored 90*. Perhaps they should show the men how to do it.

Ice cool.

Anyone been to Sri Lanka to watch cricket? Thinking of going out there to watch the England ODIs at the start of next year.

Lancs fortunate Northants chose to bat. They’re 67/5 at the moment.

We’ll probably be 35 all out later.

The pitch is doing a little bit and Lancs have caught well in the slips. Balderson the pick, Phillip has also bowled well.

Obviously need to finish the innings off now, 6 down but the 7th wicket has put about 30 on, can't let them get 200+ from here.

We seem to have caught dropsy at lunch

Back to same old Lancashire, struggle to finish a team off and a poor start to our innings

Anyone think it’ll be another draw?

I’m looking forward to seeing them for the first time this season.

The idea to put some Vitality Blast double header fixtures on is a really good idea I think. It’s drawn me to fixtures where I wouldn’t otherwise have gone because I’m not really a 20 over/Hundred fan. If I’m going to make the effort to turn up I want a full day of cricket, be it 50 over or 4 day game, so two 20 over games back to back makes it much more appealing.

Ha, I think it’s fair to say a result is likely ;-)

To have the opposition at 84 for 6 and then finish on 238 is a tad disappointing. Then 2 of our top 3 survive 12 balls between them. Yuk

Same old, same old this season I’m afraid

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

We've got 6 batting points this season, 4 of those against Gloucestershire!

We need to see if this wicket flattens out after the roller has affect has worn off.

Weather set fair so game will be over in no time, how low have Lancashire sunk?

 

[KS55]

Harris and Hurst see us safely thru to the close. No demons in the pitch now.

Saturday 11,00 am collapse then?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

The commentators mentioned that day two is always the best day for batting at Northampton, fingers crossed the sun is out, and we can put on a big score. Can't help but feel that Harris needs to get another ton if Lancs are to build a decent lead.

 

[KS55]

Northants struggling. We must not let them score a bundle with their lower order. Could an actual win be in the offing?
Added: On the fifth ball of the last over, McManus was given out caught behind off a ball he appeared to miss by quite a distance.
Northants 140/6, 102 ahead.
