Another excellent one day performance from Lancs last night with Kyle Hogg, Stephen Parry and Tom Smith all impressing, good signs for the future...and with the weather being like it is it could be enough to get us top spot in the 2nd Division already!!

And in the Kent v Middlesex game thats started today, there's been 4 run outs out of the 12 wickets to fall so far what the frig's going on???

As I predicted in work, Yorkshire managed to show us once again how to throw away the game last night. It was a bit tighter than normal, but Bresnan running the wrong way towards the ball in the final over ensured Hampshire got home in the end.

That was the second time he'd done it in the match - the first time led IMO to the ball being changed, and by the second time it had discoloured so badly again the fielders were all having trouble picking it out (see also Gale's dropped catch).

Thought Rudolph panicked in the last ten overs, didn't have the confidence to bowl Wainwright out who had been excellent and got left with 3 unused overs.

On the plus side the young players like Gale, Lyth, Wainwright and Rashid showed some real guts for the fight against probably the best one day side in the country at the minute. Particularly enjoyed Lyth giving the fans behind him plenty back after the run out.

Still, good to see the soon to be ex captain finding the time to have a laugh and a joke on the balcony while the game was slipping away...

Once again it looks like the 1st day rain will have stopped Lancs getting a win

At least one shining light, finally we're racking up scores and not relying on the bowlers to save our skins.

Lancs declare at 568/5, with a lead of 231, and also annoys Hampshire who miss out on a bonus point....saying that, the 130 over cut off happened long ago

Come on Lancs, two sessions to skittle them, and Durham will start getting worried I tells thee!
