Is Northampton's bowling really that bad or has our batting been that good? Can't tell.
Bowling isn't great, but two dropped catches and poor fielding isn't helping. However, don't take anything away from Scotty and Colly. Both doing very well with the bat. Some exquisite shots and good defence when needed.
 


Well middlesex fans will be doing a rain dance for the next few days. 11/4 in reply to 523/9 dec at somerset.

Lancs/Middlesex relegation decider next week seemingly.
 
They have to get a minimum of 96 overs in a day now instead of the usual 90.

Middlesex 11/3 against Somerset incase anyone was wondering.

It's always 96 overs in a day in the Championship.

Due to time lost in the match, I would get to 400 and immediately declare.

This. I'd hope at Tea Colly will be telling the troops the plan is to be positive this evening and secure 400 before the Close. Then be bowling first thing tomorrow.
 
Borthwick surely has to be looked at as a batter for England?

Over 1000 runs last season and if he scores 38 more runs only Lyth,Joyce,Mitchell and Vince will have more runs than him across the divisons.
 
Scotty goes for 136 played on to wicket. 297 for five, Colly on 86 three runs short of a 200 partnership. Ha'way

So why does Rocky bat him 10 in the 50 over stuff ?
 
Muchall gone 321/6

MacLeod in with colly. Hopefully these two can get us past 400 this evening and I'd declare after that(if we don't lose more wickets as our tail is very long with Aaron,Rushy and Chase)
 
Funny how two people see it differently at the same game.

Another wicket for @Azhar_ullah as @gmuchall is LBW for 10 to a ball which did not get up much. @DurhamCricket 321-6 v @NorthantsCCC

Both commentators talking about the variable bounce and that one keeping low.
He's right behind the bowlers arm, we're side on. Looking at the position of the batsman's legs in front of stumps, it appeared to be arising ball hitting on the up high on the pads. Now that one kept low!

Colly gets his ton .......

Knew you were telling the truth, just interesting about where you sit in a ground can change your view on a delivery.

Colly gone 332/7

Earlier hard work undone in this past hour somewhat - may struggle to get 400 now. Worth getting to 350 and then getting the visitors in?? 8 overs or so at them tonight?
 
350 up

27 overs to get 50 runs for the final batting point

rushy gone 350/8 26.5 to get 50 runs. 12 overs left this evening and Aaron comes in at 10.
