We're looking like losing here to Sussex- would need to get them 72ao on a sunny day- ain't happening!

Importantly we still remain 3rd, just but it is really tight!

Northants need another 45 too with 8 wickets left.

Could very easily read this in the scramble for 2nd and 3rd though by close of play today!

  1. Northants 161
  2. Gloucestershire 156
  3. Durham 147
  4. Sussex 145

Only Leicestershire will be mathematically out of it though, which is mental!! Lancashire have 204 points from 12, up and title won I reckon.

OTOH if we somehow pull of a combination of Murali the Oval 1998, Broad spell 2009 v Australia at the Oval and win- won't happen but if we did- we would be virtually up!

Very bad week for the Glos, two home defeats, out of the T20 and knocked back in the Div2 promotion race.

Had forgotten a bit about the T20.

Still in our hands though and most of the sides in this League are not wildly consistent- plus Northants and Durham still have to play each other.

The fact that anyone down to 9th can still theoretically go up means that I foresee a lot of tight games- Northants final home game of the season!

Good that Northants and Durham play each other....can't both win !

I notice Gabriel didn't bowl a ball second tap. Injured or just plain crap ?

Pretty astute there, Slarty.

On a more serious note, do you (or anybody else on this thread) know whether, should England win (or lose) before Sunday evening, Jack Leach would be available for Monday's match against Hampshire?

i appreciate I am thinking a long way ahead, but we are now in to the third day of the Test with only two innings remaining.

I would assume that he would be as test cricket is over.

Southampton isn't really that far from London

3 down!

12/3 as Gregory gets his second wicket.

The live stream is not yet working, although there is good BBC commentary and highlights, i.e. all three wickets, are available on the Somerset site.

James Vince is now in and his wicket could really make this an (even more) excellent start.
