If there is enough dry weather at lords for the final game, it will come down to that game I feel. I was lucky enough to be a guest of the chairman on two occasions this year, those freebies are now over for me. Shame really.

The cricket is getting tasty, day three, Middx on the ropes, Somerset win their game and Yorkshire should push Durham over. Advantage Yorkshire?

Regrettably Notts couldn't stop the Sexy Middles, so we are 1 point behind them. It's a three horse race now, & we play Som & Middx as our last 2 games. Win those & nobody can stop us winning the treble.

What has just happened!

I think we just blew our chances of the title


Middx batting their way to a decent score.

'Ave kicked whippet, slung ferret int corner and am off to sulk! O' bugger!

Just done the math, if middx draw( come on Lancashire, that doesn't feel right ) yorks and somerset win their last games, somerset could win the championship! We are in for a right good finish to the season.

Ooh, this is getting interesting.

It was, before those quick wickets.

Fair play to Middx, unbeaten all season, they deserve the title.

Yes, and a cracking last day.

Agreed!

Mind you Somerset fans are prob grumbling about the buffet bowling.

But what were we to do ? Both teams need to win and both entered into the spirit. Middx bowling was too good for our batting.

Our batting would have been better had Strauss permitted Bairstow and Root to play.

The 2nd day of a long winter tour of India. Nice and sunny, low humidity, perfect weather. Getting oneself lost in the oscillating narrative of a long test series is the perfect antidote to all this US election/brexit monkey business.

With Radio 3's Test Match Special of course.
