Harrison and Sadler at the crease.

Now 134/6, from 31 overs, Sadler out for 15, Harrison still there on 16.
At this rate they won't last the 40 overs.

I turn away for a few minutes and we've just hammered their death bowlers. 225/7 with one ball left. I didn't think Masters could strike a ball that cleanly but hes got 39 from 22.

Also, randomly I have a friend whos in Gloucs at the moment. He texted me an hour ago to say he was at the game. Its good that he can see a half decent team for a change, instead of his Lancashire team

Gloucs 120-5 now. It was Masters' highest one day score.

Gloucestershire require another 68 runs with 5 wickets and 12.1 overs remaining

We need a few wickets fast! Just looking at the Gloucestershire tail and there are a few decent players there. I'd give Broad his final two overs in the search of a wicket.

7 wickets down now.

178-7, Gloucs need 48 runs from the last 7 overs.

 

[webmaster]

192-8, 5 overs left. Could be a close finish.

 

[CM]

Gloucestershire require another 28 runs with 2 wickets and 23 balls remaining

In a 20/20 this would be a piece of piss. Come on you foxes

 

[webmaster]

Bugger.

Poor over from Griffith - went for 20 (not helped by 4 overthrows).

9 required from 3 overs.

Feck

Broad have Griffith have been off the pace today. Both going at over 8rpo.

Unless we bowl them out we've lost

 

[webmaster]

Gloucs have won.

 

[CM]

I don't think we really put enough on the board. 240 is seeming to be a par score in most scorecards I've seen.

Looking at the scorecard, spinners did the damage for both sides. If Mongia had been playing then who knows.

According to the RL commentary Leics seemed to think 180 would have been a par score and were delighted with 225.

So our number 5 and number 6 batsmen tomorrow will be....
Jeremy Snape and an 18 year old leg spinner that can bat a bit.

I cannot describe how bizarre I find this selection, and it all stems from Snapey being made captain.

Saying that, I would have dropped Henderson for Amjad, so what do I know!
(he took a 5-for today)

 

[glyn]

Oh and just one more moan can I point out how ineffective Griffith was again with the new ball.....

 

[flashyfox]

Snapey, Henderson and Amjad all in the same team. I think 3 spinners is over the top although i doubt if Snapey will even bowl. Good on Henderson though for getting a 5 for. Hopefully Ackerman can continue his rich vein of form and get another big score.

Good day for Leics so far, Leics 104-1, Ackerman's on 55.

 

[Jeff]

Leics 259-3

Maunders is on 100, Nixon 52

Ackerman was out for 62

 

[glyn]

Great day so far Maunders up to 150 now. That was something like Ackerman's 10th 50+ score in 11 innings
