Great start ! Lots depends on gil and northeast now.
Gill gone.....it’s been coming. At 47/3 we are in real trouble. We will do well to getting any batting points here.
Pear shaped gone it's!
At least with timm and Harris in the side we bat quite deep. Someone needs to stand up and hit a 50
Carlson needs to keep his head....................
Making a right hash of this. Was it just a bad toss to lose, or just poor batting?
108/5. Not great but not terminal. Needs a couple of good partnerships from this point on.
Think James Harris needs to rediscover his batting form and Van Der Gugten needs to play as he often has done for us from here because we look a bit England like from eight down and a quick wicket after lunch could see us fold to something like 130. We need a minimum of 200 I reckon.
not a good day at lords
204/8. Patel doing well. We could do with another hour of him hitting out
Another frustrating innings, everytime it's looked like getting close to parity we've lost another wicket. Ajaz hitting out is giving us some respectability, just a shame someone couldn't have stuck around for a bit.
214 all out
Cmon....Harris on a hat-trick
132/4 at stumps so advantage Middlesex. We need early wickets tomorrow morning
Definitely a good toss to have won, evidenced by how damp the washing was this morning after leaving it up last night! To be fair, a very good seam attack helps too. Think only two of the dismissals before we got to the tail end were batters choices (Gill and Cooke?). Still, a disappointing start to the day.
If only we couldve held on till lunch with only a couple down as the afternoon session was glorious weather wise and we fared much better with the bat afterwards. Fairplay, we started pulling it back as the evening wore on and Harris probably had his best spell since returning. Nice to see Hogan get a wicket in the flesh for maybe the last time unless I can get down to Hove at the end of the month.
Not a shabby day out for a Monday. Plenty of action, salt beef sandwich from Panzers with a glass of wine for lunch, few beers afterwards, and very pleasant weather for the time of year. On its day, the championship can be a great day out fairplay.
