177/7 off 20 overs
Getting torn a new one. Not pretty
Thank fuck I’ve not been able to watch this.
Lost by 6 wkts with 3 balls to spare
As I said “Fuck off, Kent”.
Proper cricket back on the agenda.
Looks a bit parched in Southport.

Outfield looks a bit brown
As I said and weve been put in. Felix in for Dutchy Holland. Crane playing, so lots of spin.
57/4 Vince gone
142 All out
Lanc 139-1 at close
Is the Hants off spinner really called Felis Organ ?
No.
WICKET Bell lbw b Abbas 45
Lancs 336-6 v Hants 142
It’s taken into the second hour of the afternoon but Hampshire have a breakthrough.
George Bell had played nicely and shared 76 with Daryl Mitchell but Mohammad Abbas traps him lbw.
He goes wide on the crease and Bell misses trying to work with the angle and flick to leg.
Struck on the back pad he’s dead.
The lead almost over 200 now.
LANCASHIRE ALL OUT AND TEA
Lancs 374 (Blatherwick c sub b Organ 4) v Hants 142
Jack Blatherwick has a smite at Felix Organ and top edges to first slip.
Lancashire all done with a giant lead of 232.
Organ finishes with a career-best 6-67 - just the second time he’s taken five in an innings.
A huge task now ahead of Hampshire to set a defendable target - but it might not need too many with the ball turning.
They’ll now take tea at Southport with no overs lost for change of innings, so still 40 left in the day.
Hants close on 119-1
Vince 50 up from 83 balls.
Hants 269-6, lead by 37 runs (which I would suggest is nowhere near enough)
Pure Village umpiring by Mallender giving Dawson out for hitting the pitch with his bat just before the new ball prop cost us any chance of posting a score
Barker out edging to slips.
294-7, lead by 62 runs
