Williams a New Zealand bowler signed last week, strange given the number of seamers at OT.

Ah! right, he'll be glad he's not bowling at TB given the ensuing carnage, don't Lancs have injury issues over a couple of seamers, Mahmood is certainly one who's out long term, Jimmy will be on England duty all summer.

Wood and Anderson on international duty.

Blatherwick and Mahmood injured.
Gleeson doesn’t seem to be fit enough for red ball cricket.

Lancs 280-9, croft out for 90, so safe to say it's finely poised.

Lancs 286 all out, so effectively a 1 innings game.

Forgot about this with all the excitement of the test.

Warks and Davies still batting 210-7, which from 95-5 is some recovery, Davies nearing his ton.

4 wickets for this Williams chap looks a good signing.

Lancs 5-0 at close, needing a further 324 for victory, Davies did complete his century eventually out for 121.

167-4 at tea, Wells and Jones playing nicely to give Lancs a good chance of a draw anyway.

A draw ? Has yesterday taught you nothing, less than 150 in a session with 6 wickets :D

Start swinging Wells

A win is possible from here, but TBF Bairstow and Stokes aren't your standard county cricketers are they, Pity Lancs don't have Jos to call upon, this scenario would be ideal for him.

100 partnership the 1st of the match. 134 from 30 overs is definitely doable if these 2 stay in for a while.

Lancashire are suddenly upping the run rate and potentially putting us within striking distance of having a go at this total.

90 needed off 20 overs. Would seem simple in T20 cricket, but still unclear yet if they are going for it. Neither Wells nor Jones are naturally not fast scoring batsmen. Maybe they are they are keeping the score ticking over for a final 10 over slog.New ball due shortly but plenty of wickets left so should be an interesting contest.

RR shouldn't be a problem. it's keeping wickets in hand that's the key. Vital Wells stays in, he's the set batsman.

Wins for the top two, Surrey and Hampshire, so if Lancs do complete this win they'll go above Yorkshire into 3rd.

Quite simply incredible!!!

I’ll just say, I really think that this chase, even the thought of chasing it, would not have happened, had England not opened up like they did yesterday to chase down their total. It just shows how inspiring our national team and our very best players can be.
