200 is the big number and every run over that will worry them. In a perfect world we would set them 250 but I would take 225.

Indeed......but nicer to win a close one than lose one.

It might not be a close one.

Ha, Brathwaite bowls the first over after tea. I presume the WI have backed us to win.

I've just stuck another £20 on us.

I think we could get a lead of 300 here.

I'm expecting Woakes or Ali (or both) to do something daft soon & we will be all out with a lead of less than 230.

Golfie's not in a good place at the moment what with the signing of another striker dragging on and on .

Just noticed the WI soft caps are red instead of magenta, same as their hard hats. Obviously their printer cannot do magenta. Just a bit of trivia
