Watching Lancs bat is a painful process at the moment. Don't know if it's a lack of confidence/poor coaching but anything over 2.5 an over seems like an impossible task. If we needed 113 with 8 wickets left it'd take us til the final session to wrap it up!

In the current game vs Durham Lancs scored a combined total of 407 in 154.1 overs. Far too slow.

When Sutton, Saj Mahmood, Chapple and Hogg all have higher Championship batting averages than the likes of Horton, Chilton, Moore and Smith then you aren't going to be getting too many big scores.

At least when we get relegated we'll have a trip to Lords to look forward to next season...

Went to watch Glamorgan at Colwyn Bay on wednesday. saw a pretty special knock from Thom Maynard (son of Matthew), 98 off 90 balls including 6 sixes. Was gutted for him to miss out on his hundred. Ben Wright hit a hundred though. Glamorgan have some real good youngsters and it seems as if their policy of playing kids for years is starting to pay off. Top of CC2.

Tom's performance was pretty special, he's been doing it this year in the limited overs games but for some reason not in the 4 day game. He had been told that his place was under threat if he didn't come up with the goods against Worcs. What a way to answer your critics. Not a great start for Glamorgan against Middlesex @ the Swalec Stadium though. 17 - 3 after choosing to bat first

Great morning for Yorkshire up at Durham, we've got them at 54/5.

Hopefully we can push on and take advantage of the start.

And well done Yorkshire for picking Tim Bresnan. He'll travel down to London to meet up with the England squad on Tuesday night but will be heading straight back to Durham on Wednesday morning if not required.

Glamorgan 75 - 4 now. Maynard Junior went LBW for 37 this time.

Durham 160-5 now, well and truly let off the hook.

Not a good day @ the office for Glamorgan. Won the toss, decided to bat first & now 129-7. Pedro Collins doing most of the damage for the visitors currently 4-36 off his 16 overs.

178/8

Good to see Lancs pick up the major trophy of the cricket season on Saturday, the mascot derby at 20/20 finals day.

Great fight back from the Glamorgan tailenders, now 192-9 after being 136-8, Cosker batting at No8 on 26 & Harrison @ No9 on 31

Glamorgan all out for 198. David Harrison 2nd highest scorer with 35 batting @ No9!

It'll do, thats the height of what this Lancs team can do, win the mascot race!

Although Somerset aren't exactly smashing it around at the moment.

Good lad McGrath, we have a lead now

Looks like one of those pitches at Durham where once you're in, batting gets relatively straightforward but it's difficult to get in.

Both Mustard and Di Venuto went on to decent scores when they batted, and without McGrath's ton the next best Yorkshire score is in the 20s.

Unfortunately being bowled out relatively quickly means we'll be without Bresnan for a chunk of their second knock.

Rain delayed start @ Sophi..., sorry, The Swalec Stadium. Middlesex currently 143-5 in reply to Glamorgans 198 all out. James harris man of the moment taking 3 of the five wickets so far.

Middlesex bowled out for 181. the last three wickets falling without any runs being added. BUT.... Glamorgan 9-2 in their second innings.

Glamorgan 34 - 4 @ tea.

Very interestingly poised at the Riverside, but Notts are looking awesome and have demolished, an admittedly poor, Warwickshire.

Galmorgan have managed to turn it round aginst Middlesex. They are 192 - 8 at lunch in their second innings. Giving them a lead of 209 on a wicket that up till now has been favouring the bowlers. 2 sessions left today & all day tomorrow to build & respectable lead & then bowl out Middlesex to maintain their position at the top of Div 2

Yorkshire set 299 to win.

Glamorgan bowled out for 232. Jim Allenby top scorer on 91no. Added to his 3 wickets a potential MOM. Skipper Jamie Dalrymple batted @ No8 with a broken thumb & went for 27. Currently rain stopped play. Middlesex 37-1 in their 2nd innings. Glamorgan lead by 212

Going well so far. 107/0.

120-1 at tea.

Importantly Rudolph is still there.
