First bit of rain likely in Taunton in the next 10 minutes

70-3 further illustrates that Middlesex batted poorly and that we have better spinners. 

Lets hope post tea isn’t as bad as yesterday.. 

I definitely think Middlesex batted poorly first time, I do fear they can't be so bad in the second. A lead of under 250 would make me very nervous.

That was a really odd stumping. He had no idea what was going on

Run out because of the up and down nature of the pitch

Yep, terrible shot. Definitely can't blame the pitch for that one

2nd

Well done! 

Damn.

Which over do you think we'll introduce spin? I'll go for the 9th

Here we go 

I was going to suggest you were over-reacting at that point.

Middlesex will be about 250 in front with 20 to go. 200 off 20 with no fielding restrictions, red ball, long boundaries isn't a deal IMO. It'll be 220 at tea with 33 left I reckon 

That is roughly what I'm expecting too

It's over IMO they've done a deal to let them get to 350

I was certainly wondering that. If they were going to try to set up a run chase tomorrow then both teams need to be playing for the same thing really. I can't see it being a draw

I notice there were only 27 overs bowled in the morning session at Lords. No urgency there apparently.

Looks like a good day for batting today, could be a very frustrating day in the field. 

I'm starting to hate the number 322

Can't quite believe this now

Yes wickets falling is good in a way but this is getting silly

And another one!

Really need that 350

All wonderful players when compared to Gus Caesar of course

I see Gus even has a page at Wikipedia
