Have to get a wriggle on in the first 14 overs this morning, otherwise it looks like we’ll only get 3 batting bonus points (max).
Currently 466 - 4
Will Smith on 196, he didn’t get jiggy with it this morning as they only managed 3 batting bonus points.
200 for Smith.
Nice one.
Probably nice to have a bowl this afternoon - it might be time to start taking those leisurely singles up the middle of the wicket, dragging your feet as you go.

Great Escape version 2016?
Despite what SO5 and I thought pre-match yesterday, Hants are not dead just yet.
We scored 319 (having been 98-4) v Notts and now have them at 98-6. Andy Carter has bowled 7 overs and has taken 3-12. Take a bow.
Day 2 Close of play.
So, bat till tea tomorrow, build up 400+ lead, declare, leaving 4 sessions to bowl Notts out on a wearing wicket.
Straightforward. Isn’t it?
Then again …
