Sunshine and Abbott gets the 9th
- Abbott bowls the last
Following on.
Tea Northants 37-0 f.o. , trail by 188 still
Only 9 more wickets needed
Edit. 7 now
153-3 at close.
Sat at home watching old S.Africa v England. Waiting for the nod from my spy in the dressing room.
Inspection at 12.30.
Due to start 1.30pm. Might only get 1 or 2 hours at best
Keogh lbw Barker 161-4 and I can feel rain.
Cobb lbw Abbas 177-5. And match delayed again.
Hilarious. The umpires called the groundsman to bring the covers on, but it was barely spitting. The batsmen got to the boundary edge and were called back and off went the covers. Cobb dragged himself to the crease. Fucked about. And was immediately lbw to Mo. It then pissed down and they all legged it off.
Getting the tea interval out the way now and it appears to have stopped raining.
3.30 restart. 33 overs.
Sales c Vince at slip off Mo. 181-6.
Canβt see this match getting a result, rain moving in next 30 minutes for the rest of the evening. Very frustrating this could be, and could be a huge blow to our title chances. 30 minutes 4 wickets and hopefully not batting again, but cannot see that now. Fiddlesticks
Vasconcelos gone for 20 LBW Barker
208-7
Well you could be wrong. 208-7. Vasconcelos lbw Barker. 17 behind
