Lets hope Machan and Joyce can dig in here

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I'm stunned ! lets hope we can post 150 and make a game of it.

Just a boundary away, could take this game into a second day if we can keep this up.

147 for 3

151 for 3

Do we dare dream of a batting point

A pedestrian 5 runs/over too, Alan Oakman will be turning in his grave.

[Lord Bracknell]

We're being pinned down by the power of the Warwickshire bowling. Only 20 runs in 10 overs. The best we can hope for is that this will peter out into a dire draw. Or am I being too optimistic?

In fairness your lordship a draw is still on. Just.

[Luke93]

Five gone now, have we passed the follow on total?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The inevitable collapse has started. Two wickets in six balls.

 

[TSB]

I would have Brown above Zaidi myself.

 

[coagulantwolf]

180-5. Here comes the collapse!

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Call for the paramedics .....

collapse in progress.

Brown and Joyce to apply CPR - but are we doomed?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

How many wickets need to fall in a single day before the pitch inspectors take a look and Warwickshire get docked points?

Or is it just all round bat flidery?

Highly unlikely they would ever dock points off a Test status ground as it would be too embarrassing to the ECB
