Oh dear, a good toss for Lancs to win and they’re making the most of it with Somerset really struggling to bat and are 12 for 3.

Could have been worse with 3 catches being put down off Anderson, one by himself.

Worth tuning in to the live feed as we have Bumble and Paul Allott alongside Gibbo

I see Zak Crawley was out for 7 today. 

Saw a stat a moment ago saying 50% of his innings in the county champ this season have ended with a single digit score. Did hit 170 v Essex the other week though. But not sure it happens enough for him to be a mainstay in the England side. 

I look forward to him facing Starc first ball of the Ashes and us seeing a repeat of Rory Burns in 2021.

It’s a fine line with TKC, we were sitting ducks in the first 10/12 overs, Bartlett in particular just stuck in his crease with only one possible outcome, getting out to Jimmy.

TKC did exactly the right thing taking it to the bowlers but must agree the shot he got out to was a step too far.

Just shows how it’s worth hanging in there if you can. Yesterday morning we were staring down the barrel and reaching a hundred seemed a huge task.

Once the we had seen off the new ball, the bowlers tire, Jimmy a huge miss and it’s starting to look easy out there.

Won’t say too much about the dropped catches as we’ve still to field and without making excuses I don’t think Old Trafford is an easy ground for catching, seen many drooped there over the years, not sure if it’s the background or the movement after it’s left the bat.

From the BBC:

Drama in Bristol

Second XI Championship

While the first XIs take lunch, we can have a look at an amazing game in the second XI Championship between Gloucestershire and Surrey at Bristol.

Surrey, featuring Conor McKerr, Dan Moriarty and Amar Virdi who all have plenty of first team cricket between them, took a first-innings lead of 147 but were then shot out for 129 to leave the Glosters 277 for victory.

The hosts were 177-9 and about to lose comfortably but Jared Warner has made 83 from number 10 and Luke Charlesworth 34 at number 11 to see Gloucestershire home!

Rew is one if those rare players that have shone when we first saw him play for England U19.

Shone when we first saw him for Somerset and then again in his first full season.

And the real rare thing is he hasn't now lost form and succumbed to over coaching but carried on this season. 

Still 19 but for me he's already moved from promising to very good player ready for England when they need him.......which is a position they're doing ok in at the moment so he may have to wait

Sounds just like the time Somerset spanked Glos at Taunton on the way to win the ODC a few years ago

Somerset trying to get on with it at least. Weather is set fair for tomorrow so there's still potential for a result.

The trouble is, when we try and go for it we often end up being all out with a lead of about 180 - 200 before lunch on Sunday and Lancs have two sessions to get it.
