Certainly looks like rain tomorrow afternoon. 

 

All week.

Decent enough day. Gloomy but got pretty much a full day.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

The forecast is good for the rest of the week too

I hope Sri Lanka can at least drag it out until Saturday

Tomorrow doesn't look too great in the morning. I can see a delayed start.

Right you are

Bit wet over night, and I think the odd shower tomorrow.

Get a move on this afternoon, and get ahead.

Two days, two innings- a decent chance of a win then for either side.

Caption is a bit misleading given he played in the One Day Cup

To be fair, it is correct as one-day cricket isn't first class

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

But you're obviously right it's a bit misleading as it's not his senior debut

[BobyBrno]

It does say County Championship so it is correct. It’s like saying league debut rather than debut in the cup.

The photo caption says County Championship but the tweet itself says first class debut

One day cup isn't first class cricket.

So it's not misleading. Sorry mate 😊

Good day yesterday, despite the delayed start and cold conditions.

Saw @victor meldrew 

Fair play to Sri Lanka, we’ve got a competitive game on our hands.

A deviation from Bazball, which was required on the day. Smith looks a really composed and quality batter, cracker of an innings so far.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Credit to Sri Lanka for making it as competitive as it was after finding themselves 6 for 3 in the first innings

On another note, given this weekend is a bank holiday weekend and the match has concluded with two full days of the weekend to go, it makes it even more ridiculous that day one was scheduled for a fucking Wednesday

It does indeed.

Just trying to shoehorn 3 matches into a short space.

Looks like being fairly fortunate with the weather overall. 

[Wanderlust]

Atkinson ton - outstanding.

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Good win last night.

Still all to play for-weather permitting. 

[Casino]

Unreal stuff

 

Looks a nailed on draw now, but who knows if we can get 200 more

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

An incredible scorecard

I bet Ollie Pope feels a bit sick 😁

[jmjhb]

I'd just keep on batting, no chance of a result, the pitch is a motorway 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Are they bowling with a tennis ball🤣

Sounds like a terrible cricket pitch. 

Anyway, I'm not sure they will declare, just over a day left, so can't see any chance of bowling out Pakistan. 

Just enjoy the batting, and see if any more records can be broken. 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Kinell, within seconds of posting, a wicket goes!

[superjohnmcginlay]

Despite the wicket, you’ve still got to score them. 
 

Great to see Brook go past 300 at almost a run a ball. 
Root, well he just makes it look effortless. 
 

skittle them now for 80 job done 😀
