I think this guaranteed - although it could be tomorrows lunch if I'm very unlucky!

As I suspected / feared...

Last Wicket: Askew b. Neill 52 (FOW: 104/5)

Their last batsman makes a go of it with the wickie for company. Just got to hope that my best bowlers can remove the tail end with him off strike. I think they'll get 250 this innings though.

72.5 W Osbourne to Scarborough
Thick edge and... taken by Dyer. That was a great catch, Scarborough just looks on in disbelief.

I think it might be Killen who might be the most in disbelief as he carries his bat for 99no !

Now it's my turn to bat

Oh, this is just super....

93.3 W Convey to Storey
OUT! Storey pulls a shortish one and Wilson takes it above his head! Good catch.
