[Alan Harper's Tash]

Lancs 132/7, seems the early season form is back in full swing again.

Leg-spin always does well at OT. Weather hasn’t helped either.

Not looking good. 8 down now.

Stokes has a grade 3 muscle tear, resulting in a 6-7 week lay off.

maybe it'll be something McCullum can use to persuade him not to overdo it.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

There's the Lancashire we all know and love

 

[meeesh]

137 all out, abysmal

 

[cleavers]

They made it to 137.

I remember a time when Lancashire was a name to be feared. And I'm not going back as far as the glory days of the 60s and 70s. What's gone wrong? Mismanagement at board level?

Two quick wickets for Sir Jimmy...

Ask the 200 fans who attended today...

I see what you mean now..........defeat is looking more likely as we speak unfortunately

It’s not good news any more!

The 4th wkt fell at 107, the tenth at 137. Disgraceful.

I cant think of a worse case of mis-management than this resulting in putting that team out in a deciding game. It's nearly a B team. Glad Bethall and Atkinson are in but Overton and Thonge are bang average and don't have a chance against Indias top order. It's all on the batsmen to get a draw I recon - or the weather

 

[waspish]

Weather don’t look good

You can bet we lose the toss today because today it’s not a 50/50 toss it’s a win toss bowl first because it’s reported on this wicket that the best day to bowl is today and the batting is better day 2 and 3….

 

[shemnel]

losing Stokes and Archer from the bowling attack feels pretty massive....

 

[waspish]

When we want a flat wicket we get a green top seems all these pitches have been shite and many favouring India!

 

[waspish]

Brilliant won the toss! Wonder if that has ever happened winning all the five tosses in a series

 

[wattle]

Massive toss to win. Both with dodgy bowling line ups but strong batting, but on a bowler helpful wicket/forecast. 50/50 for me now. Should be a good’un

Think this might favour us now we’ve won the toss

 

[waspish]

Yep if we get them 3/4 down by dinner

 

[waspish]

Weather is the main problem today looks like it going to rain till dinner
