Well, it's all irrelevant now. We're almost certainly going to be significantly behind on first innings and, even if Hants fall to pieces second innings, our chances of chasing down any target on this pitch are not great. Both at Notts and here we have been undone by poor decision making. As I write, Lamb goes for a duck. He bowled poorly too and looks shot at.

Apart from twice putting the opposition in when we should have batted - a legacy from Chapple's days - Lancs have shown very poor technique against the moving ball. Our batting coach was no use against the moving ball either. Could these things be connected?
Added later: good effort by the lower order has at least kept us in the game. Pity we have to bat last.

By my calculation, Notts are now out of it provided that at least any one of the other three win. Though had they got 4 more runs that might not have been the case.
In view of the scores from Liverpool, I think that is a safe bet.

A load of pies from Lamb has lifted the pressure off Hants. Time for a change.

Title between Warwicks, Lancs and Hants If Warks beat Somerset then Warks will be champions whatever the result at Aigburth.....Missing Jimmy here....
Edited to say Hants, and only Hants, could be champions provided
a) they win here
b) Warks win but don't get enough bowling points

Two big wickets late on should be an interesting day for those there tomorrow

In spite of everything we have given ourselves a chance. Hants have to be favourites, though, unless the pitch flattens out.

Surely, if Warwickshire draw they end up with 70 points and if Hampshire lose they end up with 61.5 points and Lancashire end up with 73.5 points. Nottinghamshire max out at 73 (thanks to missing that 300 this morning). |

I was at the match today. Abbas and Barker bowled really well and both put in a shift. With cloud cover in the morning the pitch was lively and batting was difficult. We got close to their score thanks to Croft, Wood and Bailey. Wood and Bailey both chanced their arm and could have been out cheaply. Bailey and Balderson both bowled really well. Parkinson didn't seem to get much spin from the wicket and Hampshire only bowled one over of spin. Lancashire still have an outside chance if they can bat well in the last innings but I can't see it happening.
I think it was flawed to go into a match on a bowler friendly wicket with only four specialist batsmen and five seamers. I know we have a load of all rounders but surely we could have put out a team with a stronger batting line up.
