Lancs coach Glenn Chapple in his post match interview "having reviewed my comments last night, on reflection, I feel that I got things wrong and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that pitch."
But still 2 days to go - no idea what the wicket is like, but defending 359 over 2 days is an ask against a side the is/was challenging for title - mind you, we might stick another 50 on 🤷
@FannyFanackapan needs to dust off the dancing shoes if it gets tight 😉
The irony is that the guy who is hanging on in there, Weatherley, has averaged 18 in all comps since June - and was on loan with us a good few seasons ago.
Gilchrist gets Barker with a short ball that the night watchman played somewhat poorly. Unlike us, Hants have elected to send out a batsman (Gubbins) to finish the day.

Meanwhile, Warwickshire are 55-5 and just 77 in front of Gloucs.
If we win and Yorks lose, we'll close right up behind them
Battlers, no big egos & TEAM players!
So what if our Joe, Zak, Jordan, Bilbo & God are missing ? We still manage to cobble a very decent side together.
We don't moan about it - just get on & try to get the job done.
Eat your hearts out, Surrey.
I'd much rather have our lads than your expensive squad of privileged players.
( Sorry, blackpool, canters etc . Just saying it how I see it )
