Follow-on saved by Yorkshire, let's see how generous Warwickshire feel in setting a potential last day target weather permitting...

243/8 at the moment. Brophy gone for 83.

Rumours have it that we're lookin for overseas player from the West Indies for next year.

Yorks 328/9. Wainwright 102*

ao for 328. A great effort by the lower order again. If only the the top and middle order could sort themselves out. The form top 3 inparticular is very worrying.

Kent are the best team in Division 2 by a distance, but Surrey were pathetic yesterday: bowling of the buffet variety, laughable fielding errors including two fairly straightforward catches going down on the boundary (otherwise Kent's first innings lead would have been negligible) and a top order batting collapse. That's the second game running we've batted first, put more than 400 on the board, and still been beaten. At least Key & van Jaarsveld failed to notch their customary centuries against us. Almost anyone else could go up in second place.

So who on the Yorkshire staff has money on them getting relegated? That's the only explanation I can come up with for another piece of McGrath captaincy magic yesterday.

180 in front with 8 wickets left going into the last day, desperate for a win. So we spend 30 overs in the morning putting on 70 or so then take our bat and ball home when Notts - who need the win themselves - won't agree a declaration target.

FFS have a blast in the morning, then quit around lunch leaving them 320 or so in two sessions and see if they fancy a chase. Even if they don't, there might still be time to give them the jitters with a couple of quick wickets.

To just bat the day out in a show of petulance was pathetic.

Good win for Lancashire against Kent yesterday, excellent bowling and fielding restricting the league-leaders to just 162 then getting almost halfway there til rain ruined it...I'm sure we would have easily knocked off the remaining 83 in the 23.2 overs remaining but a D/L win will do...keeps the 2nd Division Title race boiling nicely!!

And in other great Lancashire news, the 2nd XI have made both the final of the 3-day competition (against Surrey at Old Trafford from Weds this week) and the one-day competition (against Yorkshire on Mon 21 Sept) venue to be confirmed.

It's next week isn't it? 16th-18th?
