I'm only just catching up with this, very pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

329 to win in the 4th innings of the game in less than 100 overs is an excellent effort- especially having been 19-2 and 94-4. Terrific innings from Wells and great support from Jones & Balderson. Trouble is my two local counties Surrey and Hants both doing very well too (and both having also eked out good wins today v Somerset & Yorks.
Well done red rose.

Gloucs-Lancs just got under way at Bristol, Gloucs won toss and are batting.

Jack Morley in for Lancs, a left-arm spinner, who has featured previously

Posted: **Sun Jun 26, 2022 12:00 pm**

Not much happening at Bristol between the rain delays, 12-0 in the 8th.

Essex 3 down already against Hampshire, including Cook and Lawrence out cheaply.

And batting teams struggling in general in the 1st hour.

Posted: **Sun Jun 26, 2022 2:13 pm**

Bailey strikes for Lancs, but gloucs 53-1 and going well.

50 for Hameed also.

Posted: **Sun Jun 26, 2022 4:35 pm**

Bailey takes his 2nd, 1 for Morley, but Lancs finding it tough in the field, Glos 162-3.

Posted: **Sun Jun 26, 2022 5:58 pm**

Late wickets for Lancs, 214-7 now, 3 for Morley, 2 for Bailey and Wood.

Posted: **Sun Jun 26, 2022 6:55 pm**

This 8th wicket proving a nuisance, stand over 50 now, and a century for the opener Dent, 270-7.in the dying minutes.

Posted: **Mon Jun 27, 2022 4:47 pm**

Gloucs finally all out 337, Lancs going well in reply, Jennings especially, he's in the 70's, and Lancs 112-1, Wells the man out for 3. but I guess he was due a low score eventually.

Posted: **Mon Jun 27, 2022 7:39 pm**

Lancs lost a few wickets in the final session, still well placed though on 226-4, Croft and Salt well set. shame for Jennings to just miss out on a ton.

Posted: **Tue Jun 28, 2022 3:24 pm**

A good day with the bat for Lancs, runs all the way down the order, and the tail definitely wagging,400-9, and a useful lead of over 60.

Posted: **Tue Jun 28, 2022 7:49 pm**

Lancs poised to push for victory on the final day weather permitting of course, Glos 99-3 and only 34 ahead, wicket apiece for Bailey. Balderson and Williams.

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2022 10:50 am**

Back to 4 day games today.

Somerset win toss, and will bat against Lancs, this one taking place at Southport.

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2022 11:17 am**

I wonder if George Bartlett will be on a pear ….
(one for the elders!)

I’ll get m’coat.

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2022 12:34 pm**

The ever reliable Bailey with 2 early wickets, but a partnership now forming between Lammonby and Bartlett, 63-2 after 22, so Lancs keeping the RR well in check.

Yorkshire already 3 down after choosing to bat Scarborough against Surrey.

And a 56 ball 50 for Dom Sibley, clearly he's buying into the Bazball mantra.

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2022 3:26 pm**

A wicket for Williams, but Somerset making decent progress this afternoon, 155-4, and the 5th wicket pair just notching a 50 partnership.

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2022 4:38 pm**

Lancashire being thwarted by a couple of Somerset youngsters in Goldsworthy and Rew, both whom have 50's to their name, and are presently sharing a century stand for the 5th wicket, 215-4 post-tea.

Lyth and Tattersall likewise saving Yorkshire from trouble with a big 6th wicket stand, taking them from 125-5 to 260-5.

Posted: **Mon Jul 11, 2022 7:55 pm**

Somerset 297-5 at close, they'll be the happier of the 2 sides tonight.

Yorkshire also had a good day in the end, 125-5 became 364-5 thanks to unbeaten tons by Lyth and Tattersall.

Alistair Cook once again in the runs, and well set to add yet another century to his name tomorrow.

Posted: **Tue Jul 12, 2022 3:42 pm**

Somerset amassing 446 in the end, Lancs going well so far 31-0.

Yorkshire also in the runs 521 against Surrey, mainly due to a 305 run stand between Lyth and Tattersall.

Finally yet another 100 for the evergreen Cook, eventually out for 145.

Posted: **Tue Jul 12, 2022 8:08 pm**

Good response by Lancashire, Wells and Jennings taking us to 164-0 at close, Wells unbeaten on 99 overnight.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 11:40 am**

Wells completed his ton this morning, but he's now gone for 109, 186 added for the 1st wicket though, wasn't isn't too shabby. Jennings closing in on his own century.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 12:30 pm**

100 for Jennings now as Lancashire press merrily on 240-1 with Bohannon also going nicely.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 3:15 pm**

Lancs 379/1 seems a bowler friendly wicket was not in mind for this game

Jennings 176 no

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 3:49 pm**

200 for Jennings, and yes I guess this is a good track for batting, Lancs 426-2, only 20 behind now. and they'll still be hoping to push for victory on day 4.

Bohannon sadly just missed out on his ton dismissed for 91.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 3:58 pm**

A lot of the openers who tried and failed for England have been in the runs again this week. As well as the season in general.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 4:56 pm**

Lancs trying to move the score on post tea, Croft and Vilas both out, but Jennings closing on his 250, and Lancs nearly 500.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 5:54 pm**

Jones out for 38, but Lancs and Jennings bat on, 300 now for Jennings what a knock.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 6:00 pm**

Balderson gone cheaply, 588-6, and a declaration can't be far away I imagine with a lead of almost 150.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 6:10 pm**

Do Lancs declare or keep going to get Jennings a red ink 400?

Might as well carry on batting tonight if we can, gives the bowlers another day to put their feet up, and there's no way Somerset can win this game from here, so they'll be batting for a draw on day 4 whatever.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 6:18 pm**

Jennings gone for 318 .... 464 runs in a day !

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 6:20 pm**

Not a bad day for Keaton Jennings was it, and Lancs have a fair shot of winning this game now, lead of 178, and a full days play to bowl Somerset out again.

Posted: **Wed Jul 13, 2022 6:23 pm**

Missed the edit time, but Jennings did surpass Lancashire's highest ever home score, eclipsing Jason Gallan's 312 .

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 12:06 pm**

Morley with 2 quick wickets getting both openers

32/2 still trail by 146

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 12:19 pm**

Three now. Looks like the pitch is starting to break up.

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 2:19 pm**

4 down, all 4 for Morley.

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 3:21 pm**

Some stint by Morley, but the 5th wicket offering stern resistance, they've added 58 these youngsters, and Somerset now only 45 behind at 133-4.

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 4:22 pm**

Five for Morley but time running out.

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 4:55 pm**

6 and this time it's Williams, somerset only have a slender lead of 12, so Lancs could nick this in the closing session.

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 4:58 pm**

Come on Lancs, let's get these last 4 then give it some big shots

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 5:04 pm**

We need to take the last four wickets in the next six overs.
We would then have three overs to score the twenty or so needed to win.

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 5:42 pm**

Ran out of time, match drawn.

Posted: **Thu Jul 14, 2022 7:35 pm**

Pity we gave it a good shot though, good for the batsmen to score runs, and 7 wickets in the match for Morley.

Hampshire and Surrey both won, but Lancs tucked in nicely behind both in 3rd, so still well in the mix.

Next up after Finals Day a trip to Northampton.

Posted: **Tue Jul 19, 2022 9:19 am**

CC is back today with Lancs making the trip to Northants, not a day you want to be in the field methinks.

Posted: **Tue Jul 19, 2022 12:34 pm**

Counties given the option to play three 90 minute sessions rather than 120 on Day 1 due to the weather. Starting play an hour/90 minutes early would be been too much like common sense.

Lancs have Northants 69/2, one each for Wood and Sundar.

Couple of teams doing their best to get out in the field in the peak of the heat today.

Kent 69/5 at Edgbaston
Essex 58/4 v Surrey

Pretending they were on tour in Australia, West Indies, India, Pakistan, etc., might have solved the problem.

Posted: **Tue Jul 19, 2022 3:50 pm**

Northants 163-5, 2 for Sundar and Williams, 1 for Luke Wood, and Lancs sticking it at in the field.

100 for Hameed.
