Making hard work of this.

I blame myself as I went yesterday but couldnt go today.........152/4 of 32.1

[cdbearsfan]

Won by 6 runs. Nervy finish.

Get in, come on you Bears!

[Simon Ward]

Lancs at home today for the Bears! No Troughton but Bell and Trott both play.

[Richard]

Yeah interesting line up - has Troughton dropped himself so Bell can play - and captain ? Also thank god Trott is effectively in for Westwood !!

[Dave P]

Also thank god Trott is effectively in for Westwood !!

Here here.

Lancs collapse from 219/5 to 227 all out. Rankin 5-57. Good stuff. We could do with just not losing any wickets before close of play and it will be an excellent start. After our third day's evening collapse against Durham, I would be tempted to open with a nightwatchman. Sod it, two nightwatchmen!

[Rotterdam]

The Bears currently cantering along at 5 for 0 after 1.5

[The Left Side]

Great bit of bowling from the Bears

[spangley1812]

Bears 39/1@ close.......Bell 15 no, Chopra 21 no..........188 behind

[ADVILLAFAN]

What the hell are they batting on today. Both sides struggling to get a 20 partnership together.

[cdbearsfan]

Need to restrict them to 150 to have a chance. Pitch can't be so bad tomorrow so I reckon we need at least three wickets by close to have a chance. Lancs currently 67/3, leading by 122. It won't be a draw anyway.

Corrugated iron by the sounds of it

[Chris Smith]

Great return to the side for Bell and Trott.

[cdbearsfan]

Well, that was a bit shit. Need a miracle tomorrow.
