Looking like it could be the bit of luck Tom Bevan needed to get into the side, although it is definitely a Shane to lose a player of gils quality. Promising morning

Didn’t see Bevan’s dismissal but a decent introduction from him, shame he didn’t get a couple of runs more for a 50. Not a shabby day’s play so far. Leicester have taken five wickets for Middlesex’s 151.
Edit: Northeast just lost his wicket from a good delivery to be fair.
276-3, Lloyd 146 not out.
Make that 150 - pleased for him because he’s had a rough season.
367-3, Lloyd 200 not out.
When you see Lloyd bat like that you have to wonder why he has struggled so much. His batting was majestic today. We should bat on our nail tea tomorrow and rack up a huge score.
Middlesex are likely to pick up 3 or 4 batting points. We have to hope Leicestershire bat well tomorrow.
Great day's play.
Why couldn't they have done that against Middlesex though?
Don’t always agree with Edward Bevan, but I thought he was right when he started saying it looked a very flat pitch this evening and these days you tend to wait for pitches to break up and it never happens - still, we’re going to get maximum batting points barring a huge collapse and that’s all you can ask n Glamorgan’s position.
Very good performance. Runs have come quick enough that we can really put pressure on them aswell. Let's hope for a big , aggressive day of cricket tomorrow.
Root and Cooke out before Glamorgan reach 400 - might not be a bad thing if it means the pitch is playing up a bit.
I'd be tempted to really put the foot down now. See if we can smash another 100 before lunch then really get stuck into them afterwards
Leics 31/3 which is a bit grim. At least Middx only got two batting points but we have to win this.
Leics 37/4 will struggle to avoid the follow on
504-5 at lunch with Lloyd 288 not out. I’m 99.9 per cent Glamorgan have never had two players score more than 300 in an innings in the same season in their history - will it happen today?
Fabulous innings from Lloyd. Would like to have seen us reach 600 before declaring
