“ I assumed up till lunchtime at the moment we performed actually good cricket and put ourselves in an ideal place however this afternoon it was no shock that we dropped catches as a result of our enthusiasm and physique language dropped off.

Grace Street: Leicestershire 484 and 357-9 v Derbyshire 393 and 179-3 Derbyshire want 270 to win
Saif Zaib has the knack of placing together with his first over of a spell – and it’s the large one. Bohannon caught behind for 155. The Lancs lead is simply 35. Love these closing session nerve-janglers.
Fifty for Ed Barnard, fifty for Kai SMith, each going at a good lick at CLS. Warwickshire counting this down now – 135 wanted, 5 wickets left.
Leicestershire are very completely happy to see the again of Caleb Jewell, for 73. He’s snaffled a half century in each innings to date – fairly good purchasing that by Mickey Arthur. Derbyshire 162-3, 287 to theoretically chase.
Hampshire have misplaced their final 4 video games at The Oval and haven’t gained there for 17 years. Simply saying.
Sussex practically there at Hove… Somerset are all the way down to their final pair, Lewis Gregory (50) and Jack Leach. 4 wickets for Hunt and three wickets for Seales. One, two, three, 4, 5 slips squat in wait.
That man Harrison strikes at Outdated Trafford. It’s Hurst after practically an hour of defence. Bohannon (145) is joined by Luke Effectively. The lead simply 12.
Rain stops play at Bristol
Glamorgan, toes up, a lead of 87. Ingram nonetheless there on 61, however Carlson was caught off Ollie Value for 49. Glam 248-4.
I stand corrected, thanks Romeo. The final minute stand at CLS “was between Pennington and Jack Haynes, who made his highest-ever f-c rating. The ninth wicket stand was Hutton and Haynes. Each had been wonderful.”
Hmmm, fairly a vigorous begin by Essex, who’re 17-0 from three overs. Fergus O’Neil a worrisome prospect if it’s a run-chase.
Essex want 366 to win
Notts are lastly bowled out, for 385. Essex will rue that infuriating last-wicket stand of 66 between Hutton (38) and Pennington (13 not out). Appears unlikely that Essex will go for 366 in 52 overs, although if Jordan Cox will get his eye in….
Damage sends Kent’s Keith Dudgeon again residence to South Africa
A blow for bouncing-on-air Kent, with the information that their South African bowler Keith Dudgeon, who took 7-36 in Northants’ second innings final week, has needed to go residence. Dudgeon injured his knee at coaching and after scans it was determined to chop his season quick.
Eyes to Chester-le-Avenue, the place Raine and Potts have made a large number of the highest order. Two slips, arms in pocket, as Doggett runs in. Seems like Barnard and Smith have dropped anchor.
Fifty and out for Marcus Harris, one other sufferer for on mortgage Calvin Harrison. A tidy catch at quick leg. Lancs 4 down, and nonetheless 21 runs in arrears. Bohannon simply wants firm, strong, boring firm, somebody with a slideshow of their vacation snaps (twentieth century reference).
100 for Josh Bohannon
Within the final over earlier than lunch! A fourth century in opposition to Northants, a primary century since final June and an important knock for Lancashire. Effectively performed.

Northants are taking the brand new ball at Outdated Trafford, Bohannon nonetheless there on 87. If he does get to a few figures, it will likely be his first since that double century in June final yr. There have been, whisper it, hints final night time that the Bosh is again.
Seales has picked up a second wicket at Hove, Aldridge, however Abell continues to be there on 81. Did I point out yesterday that Banton had acquired a duck? Anyway, he did, to go together with his six within the first innings and 371 in opposition to Worcestershire. Somerset 170-6, needing 425 to win or 5 hours to dam away.

Ben Raine, contemporary from his 81, is assured about Durham’s activity in opposition to Warwickshire:
“We sort of had a sense that we didn’t fairly have sufficient then as the sport naturally developed, Pottsy performed a number of pictures and Hoggy hit the spinner excessive. We scored like 30 runs fairly rapidly and it sort of took us to the place we stated we wished to be. We didn’t get a wicket tonight however it’s sufficient runs on this pitch and we all know we will bowl a workforce out on this pitch, we’ve accomplished it a lot of instances.”
And a few ideas on younger Ben McKinney: “He’s at all times a really relaxed man, he’s cool and calm below strain. He was getting a bit pissed off, they bowled straight, it was robust to attain they usually bowled very well to him. He’s a person past his years is Ben.”
Sunday’s round-up: Yorkshire, Kent win and extra
Yorkshire’s whopping 504-run victory over Worcestershire gave Jonny Bairstow early-season bounce to his boots. Bairstow had declined to implement the follow-on on Saturday, and batted on, and on, to set Worcestershire an implausible 610 for victory. Dom Bess collected his first Championship century, off simply 115 balls, whereas Dawid Malan biffed an unbeaten 76 and Bairstow an unbeaten 44 – each pole-axing three sixes. Worcestershire’s fielders largely patrolled the boundary. A brow-beaten Worcestershire had been then unzipped for 105 to turn out to be the primary facet in County Championship historical past to lose a match by 500 runs or extra.
At Outdated Trafford, Lancashire, who swapped divisions with Yorkshire on the finish of final season, had been having a attempting day in opposition to Northamptonshire. After a hard-fought morning, they misplaced three wickets in 19 balls simply earlier than lunch, one in every of them the steadfast Keaton Jennings, caught magnificently by Saif Zaib at midwicket, the third participant within the match to get out within the 90s. Lancashire had been quickly following on within the chill of an April wind. Jennings as soon as extra strode out, this time making 49, and for the second night in a row Anderson Phillip discovered himself drafted in as nightwatchman – he survived.
Spectators at Canterbury rubbed their eyes as audacious centuries by Tawanda Muyeye and Ben Compton sped Kent to an eight-wicket win over Middlesex. A chase of 316 to win had appeared a problem on paper however Zak Crawley pushed the launch button, making 58 off 66 balls, albeit after being dropped at third slip on nought.
