I'd be amazed if they only had one London team!

I'd be amazed if they only had one London team!

I agree but the Torygraph article suggests that Surrey won't be happy with the new structure which suggests only one London team.

If Somerset knock our last 2 over quickly this morning as I'm expecting now that they are fresh and it's a new day, I'm going to be seriously worried about relegation going into that crunch clash with Lancy to finish the season.

It's live on 5 Live Sports Extra.

Clarke moves onto 46 -136-8 in first over
Wright bats out a maiden in 2nd
48 to win
2 of first 3 overs maidens.

Take your time boys!!!

Whilst I don't bother with T20 it will be interesting to see how many Yorkshire supporters would go along to support a team called Leeds. Despite what people think you don't see many Leeds shirts in the ground at Headingley and when you do see one you can pretty much guarantee a chant of "We all hate Leeds and Leeds..." from those in the West Stand.

up to 146/8 after 12 overs this morning so 38 more to get.

Sounds like it's very nervy now, them unwilling to give anything away and us unwilling to chase after anything.

Wright gone 147 - 9

[Villan For Life]

It's down to you Josh Poysden!

[PGW]

147/8
Clarke 50
Wright 45
37 to win

Wright Ct Davies b Gregory 45
147/9
Poysden in
86 run partnership

[paul_e]

Clarke makes his 50 but then Wright gets out a couple of deliveries later.

147/9 with 37 runs or 1 wicket to go. Clarke really needs to look after Poysden now and try to hog the strike.

[PGW]

Nervous start from Poysden playing and missing his first 2 deliveries.

Clarke got to take responsibility now...good luck.

[Villan For Life]

All over....

[cdbearsfan]

Bugger.

Can't fault Clarke, he did the right thing there.  The problems are in the top 5, just not scoring the runs we need to up there and putting a huge amount of pressure on the lower order and tail.
