doable

[The Left Side]

Just checked...

Warwickshire require another 59 runs with 6 wickets and 36 balls remaining

[steffo]

Bears win by 3 wickets with 3 balls to spare after losing 3 wickets in 5 balls. Never easy watching the Bears.

Nice one

The Bears v The Soggy Pears on Five Live Sports Extra.

[The Left Side]

Worcestershire 214/5

Tea - Worcestershire won the toss and elected to bat

[Villan For Life]

Pears 246 all out, quite a collapse from 194-4. The Bears are 4-2........

[The Left Side]

17 for 3 at Stumps, what happened at the end... did they get Glenn McGrath out of retirement?

[Villan For Life]

Jeetan Patel has been recalled to the NZ side so will miss a few Bears games. Looks like they will get a short term replacement in, it will be interesting to see who.

Shiv Chanderpaul almost won us the league last season so an International class batsman would be a good shout. Trouble is, how do you replace Jeet's wickets? The bowling attack is weakened by his absence.

[Villan For Life]

Bears all out for 132; Pears 24-3.

I can the Pears summoning the pitch inspectors again......

[Dave Cooper please]

From a pal at the game today:

"It's moving about but nothing dangerous. Hardly seen a ball go even shoulder height. Nothing for the pitch inspectors here! Plenty for the shit batting inspectors though."

Pears 135-9. Is it a minefield out there?

That's good news. By my reckoning something like 26 wickets have gone down in just over 4 sessions. The Bears need 260 to win. We need some application here lads!

[spangley1812]

Bears finished on 79/0 so need another 181 to win

Crucial day 2moro this could decide the title as Notts are behind v Somerset

Also could be worth filing in this ECB survey
