We won't declare where there is even a 2% chance of them chasing it down.We should be level on points with Kent moving into the final match against them. They'll be above us by virtue of having won more matches. So the winner wins the league. If it's a draw or a tie, whoever gets more bonus points wins. If it's a draw or a tie and we get the same number of bonus points, Kent win it the title. Depends how we go today really. 55 from 14.4 doesn't suggest we're going to be timid so a lead of 250+ by the end of play is likely. Add another 100 tomorrow morning and you'd be fairly confident they won't chase 350 in 2 sessions and if they try it gives us more chance of taking the 10 wickets.Once we're 250-300 up I'd be tempted to tell them to start slogging and push it as high as possible though. I'd want 2 sessions to bowl them though because they have a decent middle and lower order.They would have to go for 350 off two sessions, a draw is pointless to them. It would be very unlikely, but I'd rather not taking even the slightest chance. Winning promotion is the priority, the title is just a bit of icing.

100/0 27.1Sibley 28 & Rhodes 64This follows on from a 96 partnership in first innings104/0 now Sibley up to 32 Lead 201
Anyone know admission costs to go down to Edgbaston just for the day?
Draw will give us a 3 point lead over Kent. Produce a batting wicket and let Trott finish with a ton on his last game at home.

Even with a draw, beating Kent at home would secure the title.
