Ian Bell has run out of partners 11 short of a double ton today. He's also given Warks a sniff of a chance despite the embarrassing first innings total.
 
Bell gets another century.

Root out for a duck. Pudsey gets a rapid 50-odd (Remember the Yorkies visit us next week).
 
Gonna be a few pisstaking texts to yorkie mate if they pull this off :-)

What worries me is that Middlesex are giving the Yorkie bowlers a good work out just in time to play us.

It sounds like they are running the legs off the Yorkie bowlers to me, a defeat would be a big knock back for them.
 
While this is great fun is it down to the new heavy roller rule again?

They've shafted us northern oiks oi reckon

It's a strange one this, if anything the restricted use of the heavy roller should have the effect of livening the pitches up, not causing them to go flat after two days.

We've gone from using the heavy roller every innings last season, to only being able to use it once per team this season, and's that's only if the home side decide to make it available.

After the way the pitch went flat during the Somerset game it wouldn't surprise if we decided not to make the heavy roller available for the Yorks game.

Makes sense to me that pitches can soften up without the roller. Less effect of seam. I imagine it was always an essential implement for our attack .
I don't pretend to know all the science like, seemed that colly was concerned about lack of swing, not seam

So we used it for 2nd innings against the ciders?
