22 wickets on the first day are not a great look for county cricket 

If we're honest, cricket probably shouldn't start in this country until at least June  

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Big batting day for the foxes, I feel we need to set them at least 400 with so much time left in the game. 

[Father Ted]

Why on Earth did we go with two nightwatchmen?

I know this is Leicestershire but I suspect a target of 300 should be well out of reach on this deck.

Not the end of the world is it, it means we're 5 down but have Hill and Handscomb in with Mulder and Ahmed still in the hut!

It may flatten out and also stop swinging, I just can’t see us bowling them out cheap twice 😂

Must be the only place in the UK where its raining. 

 

 

 

Except Possibly Wales and Bristol where it rains every day

I'm twenty five odd miles west of Worcester, not far from the border with Wales.  It's bright sunshine currently.  Be surprised if it doesn't clear up soon, the rain usually comes from our way! 

[Lako42]

Just lost 3 wickets in the over before tea. 

 

The most Leicestershire thing I've ever seen 

[Tommy Fresh]

Made a mess of that

[Ted Maul]

On the one hand, the bigger the total they're chasing the better. On the other, tomorrow looks like the best batting conditions.

 

Take 2 or 3 wickets tonight and we'll be sound.

[lanefox]

Hopefully Wright has it on a string again

[Sunbury Fox]

Slightly worried now. 

[CrawlingFox]

Hopefully Wright and Davey can get well and truly into them tonight.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Pessimism I know but I don’t think we have set them enough

Well we have two already.

How can you bat on this? One grubs, next pops then all of a suddden it bounces over

Watch it play flat as a pancake in the morning. We need 4 or 5 tonight imo.

Well, we only managed 2. With our track record, you would be mad not to feat the worst. Should have set them at least 300. Will be gutting if we lose this from being 150 ahead with 10 wickets in hand at one point.

To be fair, in terms of 4 or 5 I was thinking they’d be on a lot more than 26. Quick start needed by us this morning though. 

[Lionator]

Still doing lots this morning.

Lad is going to play one game and be the best bowler we’ve had in decades

Should give him a 2 year deal to replace Wright.

[Sunbury Fox]

Still got a bad feeling about this.
