Three wickets in an over for Keith Barker has turned this game on its head. COYB!

and then 1 from Bamber straight after to put them 4 down.

They've recovered a little since to 43/4 but Bears have given themselves a real chance here.

5 down at lunch with a 126 still needed, makes it right in the balance I'd say.

A 6th before lunch and the game would've been ours to lose but now we'll be really wanting another 1 before the lead gets under 100. If we can do that Harmer is the big threat after he did the same job in their first innings to keep them in it.

I'm not sure on the pitch right now, it may have dried out a little but Edgbaston under cloud cover is still a very different pitch to when it's clear skies.

and now 8, with still 93 to get for the win.

Harmer still though so still a tiny bit of jeopardy.

Thankfully he's gone now with 43 still needed, Akhter is batting much better than I'd have expected though.

and then pressure of being the senior batsman got to him and he tried a bit of a silly shot to give his wicket away.

Good win that.

To win a game after being 96-6 in the first innings and 94-5 in the second innings is a fantastic effort from the bowlers.

Finally get a competitive pitch at Edgbaston and it results in a good game of cricket.

More of this please, and less of the roads we've seen over the last few years

Next two games will be the same as that’s how the Eric Hollies side of the square plays. Yorkshire and Glamorgan games will have incredibly short boundaries on EH side
