Notts 13-1 after 2, an early wicket for Croft.

Big wicket for Hartley, Hales gone for 33, he was threatening to cause carnage.

44-2 in the 5th.

55-3 after 6, Wood chipping in with a wicket now.

Notts 172 all out off the final ball, so Lancs chasing 173 for victory, Great figures for Hartley & Lamb, 2-25, 3-23 respectively.

No Buttler in the Lancs line-up, so we need to hope young Allen fires today.

Cracking start by Lancs 64 without loss after 6, Jennings & Allen off too a flyer, exactly what we needed.

Great finish to the game and a solid knock from Jennings.

Commentators not a clue! From 4 overs to go ‘Lancs cruising this, won’t be long and they’ll be taking the winning points home’. Aye course we will

Sat here in disbelief. A sublime first 12 overs to get to 114 without loss. Overs 13 to 19 we lost a few wickets but it shouldn’t have made a difference. We had plenty to spare, BUT we just seemed to slow up. Amazingly, we needed 12 from the last over and eight from the last two balls. Thankfully, Jennings got a six before being run out coming back for a second from the last ball. Just UTTERLY APPALLING game management.

Jennings and Allen were terrific.

Davies and Vilas probably cost us the game and I don’t say this very often, Vilas isn’t having the greatest time with the bat. Really fantastic game. Disappointing result. Fifth in the league and what a tight division it is. We’ll have to find some form soon if we’re to get back into that top four.

How the heck did we manage to snatch a tie from the jaws of victory, could be a vital point lost tonight, as has been mentioned above it's an incredibly tight division, and every point is precious.

There's no way experienced pros like Davies & Vilas should have thrown that away, not impressed at all with such naivety.

Just looked at the table, and I wish I hadn't bothered, the mercenaries sit top, plus they have played a game fewer than some sides.

Barring one innings where he made 83, Davies has been a walking wicket unfortunately. Terribly out of form, as has Vilas. Jennings looked very impressive yesterday and almost forced the win (albeit it should have been won much earlier).

Are Faulkner and Maxwell able to play this season ?

Game management seems to often let Lancs down in this competition. Doesn’t seem to be many cricketing brains in the team.

No and it's not like we've got a squad of callow youths is it, these players have been around for long enough now to be able to see games out from a winning position, and yet we constantly seem to throw matches away by stupidity, a habit we badly need to correct if we're going to be contending for trophies anytime soon.
