Well, as Sir Geoffrey Boycott always likes to say, you donโt know how a pitch is playing until both sides have had a bat on it. We made 290, which doesnโt look great, but itโs an early-season pitch after a truly strange late winter and early spring. At stumps Worcs were 40-2, which suggests that batting is no simple matter.
So it looks like a decent enough day to me, but weโll know an awful lot more tomorrow.
Are we top of the league with the two batting points is the question?
Seeing Worcester got 3 for bowling, I guess not.
Worcs are 51/3 after 23 overs
63/4 after 27 overs
Do we get bowling points for that?
78/5 30 overs
Only 1 at the moment
Bowling
3 to 5 wickets taken: 1 point
6 to 8 wickets taken: 2 points
9 to 10 wickets taken: 3 points
Equal top then
107/6 39 overs
We are top now
114/6 at lunch
Them out by tea our second innings consolidation ongoing to end of play
Is a plan I would like to see happen.
140/7 50 overs
207 FOR 8
Is it tea yet ?
211/9 64 overs
211 ao 66 overs
That must give us some points?
3 bowling points @philippinesaint
However, at stumps, Hampshire are 163/8 a lead of 242 runs
And I believe a fuckton of rain is forecast for tomorrow, no seriously, rain this time of year who would have thunk it.
