Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread 2016

[aev]

3 needed. Single taken, Sideshow on strike.

[aev]

Hain and Bell both out.

This is mesmerising, Middlesex all on the rope from Bresnan so singles all over the place, huge amounts of pressure on him. 2 more needed. Loads of clouds coming as well, would be shocking if the rain comes before the 350.

Durham roll on, 309/8 now lead is down to 102.

Bears 153/5 lead is 221 but Bell and Hain both gone trying to push things along.

[paul_e]

If anyone has access to sky and isn't watching this you're missing out on a truly brilliant spell of cricket.  I do worry that it's taking so long that it's going to be immaterial and this will be a draw, especially with the risk of rain.

[aev]

1 more and declare I reckon.

[paul_e]

Has to be, they need all the overs they can get.

[paul_e]

Great decision from the umpire, tiny inside edge there'

[aev]

Light meters out, this after Sidebottom was lucky to survive a v good lbw shout.

[aev]

Jeez bad light stops play.

edit. Rain!!

[paul_e]

ha ha ha, there are yorkshire supporters who are going to suffocate from holding their breath in this break!!

[ADVILLAFAN]

Rain break when they need 1 more run for a crucial 3rd batting point for Yorkshire; bet the Yorkshire fans are cursing.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Don't think it is crucial, but Hampshire need another wicket in the current over to get the 3rd bowling point.

Light meters out, this after Sidebottom was lucky to survive a v good lbw shout.

'Lucky' in the sense he hit it!
