It’s been a day for them. I think that time it was correct though.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Great knock by Lees.

Don't know, on replay it struck in line and was going to hit, maybe perhaps height might have been an issue.

 

[brandon]

FOUR batting points.

350-4. Six overs left in the day.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Skipper wants a nightwatchmen he can have one.

Rimmington did pretty good as a nightwatchmen against Leicestershire earlier in the season.

Strange one, but no issue with it. Hopefully come back tomorrow and push on towards 500.

Can’t remember such a solid batting day at CLS since Jennings 200* against Surrey in 2016.
