He took ill last night after the first days play, several of the lads have suffered over the past few days, hopefully no one else will catch it for the rest of this game.

I'm sure this is the case and is the reason Copeland wasn't brought back for Northants?

Really? I've been around at the end of the day when the players come into the bar for a post match team get together and hardly any of the players appear to drink alcohol. Then they all go off on their separate ways, gathering up their families on the way ..... does this mean they all get together later for an evening drink and fast food frenzy?

The forecast is poor for today, it's not raining at the moment but showers are due to come and go all day.
The pitch played well for the most part of yesterday although the ball popped off a length every now and again from both ends as the day wore on, and the turn out of the footholes was a problem for the lefties.
We can't afford to let Lancs get too far ahead as setting a defendable target for their second innings is going to be tricky, our top order will have to bat better than they did first time and stick in and graft for their runs. There was too many rash shots in 1st innings that gifted them wickets.

Won't be the only ones. I came across the Middlesex team in a service station after their Yorkshire hammering eating Burger Kings. Morgan slightly more classy going with a Subway. But haway

At the monent I'd have to say the rain breaks suit us more than lancs. If we come out of this with a draw that would be a decent result for the way we've played so far. Lancs had batted far better then we did, they've been more patient and have grafted for their runs. We haven't bowled badly as a whole, Scotty Borthwick went for a few fours when trying to bowl with a wet ball, and we haven't had any luck, a lot of edges have gone for fours.
It looks like the bug is making it's way through the team with Hastings and Borthwick suffering today, at one point Borthwick was throwing up on the field.

That does not bode well for us ... hope they're managing to contaminate the Lancs players

Unfortunately our lot have the wrong sort of runs.

I wouldnt like to discourage any of the lads from having twitter but it really is an eye opener. I wouldnt say they arent professional but in comparison to how good english football teams monitor their players diets/fitness/pre-match build up - it is a million miles different.

Many a true word spoken in jestUnfortunately our lot have the wrong sort of runs.
He'd faced every ball after the first 3 overs I think! Just balls to be hit too. Not necessarily aggressive.

Cheers Brandon - I'm sweating over Cricinfo here - not the same, but the best I can do in the circumstances!
Spin on after just 5 overs .
Spin from both ends after 8 overs
35-0. Trail by 46.
37-0 after 10. 8 left tonight.
41-1. Bastard.
59-1 at Close. 22 behind. Not a bad little session for us in fairness. If we can bat a little over two sessions tomorrow that should be enough. Alternatively, come out and score 220 or so more and it should also be enough. Can't see Lancashire feeding us runs to set up a run chase - so it's clear that a draw is the best we can hope for.
In the circumstances, it'd leave us 10 clear of Lamcashire with a game in hand. With four games to go.
In other news, Notts, having bowled Northants out with one over remaining in the day - sent in a nightwatchman.

Definitely need the win more than us, but they'll no doubt feel their best chance is to bowl us out inside two sessions or so tomorrow setting up a last session run chase. That's why I'm thinking we need to get our lead up past 200.

Yes definately, we need to bat till as close to tea as possible and get 250 ahead, Lancs best chance of staying up is to beat us. I think they'll chase anything we leave them.
