Slightly surprised that Lancs didn't try for another batting point but perhaps worried about the weather...
Worried about the weather? Too hot you mean?

Picking Jones over Parkinson not looking a great bet so far...
He's clearly a lovely lad, Jones, and he'll have a good career somewhere, but it just isn't happening for him at Lancs is it.

Bell bowling suggests with no disrepct to the young lad we have picked the wrong side

Bell bowling suggests with no disrepct to the young lad we have picked the wrong side They should be level sometime after lunch and quite a bit ahead by close. How long they bat on the fourth morning before declaring may decide the match. Right side in respect of our ability to knock them over on Day 1, but it is a four day game not a one day game. Overall, wrong side as you say, how long will we last against Dawson, Crane and Organ on Day 4, I wonder?

My understaning is that he turned down an approach from Middlesex a couple of years ago. But it's not his faulty that he was, if as you say, picked ahead of Parkinson. No-one would expect him to step aside: "Coach you've called that wrong, play Matt not me". No-one would say that.
He has taken first class wickets, should be bowling before Bell.

I agree. When he gets it right, Jones is an effective leg spinner and should at least be given a go.

Not been watching/listening much this morning, I didn't realize Bell was bowling. Nice from Balderson who if I remember correctly got knocked about a bit yesterday? Nice comeback with wickets. Lets not do our usual of this season and let them make a comeback, lets finish them off like we should have done a few times this season.

Just checked the score. Is Hartley injured? Seems strange Bell bowling.

Organ got his wickets by bowling into the rough created by Keith Barker's LH over-the-wicket so I suppose Lancs thought they should try a bit of off-spin. They'll be relieved to have got three wickets in the session when for a long time it looked as if they wouldn't get any.

Missed that wicket, was it dodgy again?

6th down, one nipped back from Williams.
Barker in now, hope he's not as stubborn as the 1st innings.

“Nice from Balderson who if I remember correctly got knocked about a bit yesterday? Nice comeback with wickets.” He does seem to have the habit of getting a few wickets together. Seems to have something even if there is a ring he loses the control of our opening bowlers as at Taunton and here. He and Blatherwick seem to have swapped performances from first innings to second.

Barker gone, hopefully we can get this finished and have a modest total to chase.
