We are currently one point behind Middlesex who could go back to three points ahead should they pick up another 6 wickets inside the next 68 overs against Lancs. Game still delayed due to rain.
It is really getting tight at the bottom - likely to go down to the wire this season - I find the bonus points system a bit of a maze - if we bowl them out in their 2nd innings for (say) 150, do we get additional points for an innings win ?

No
5 batting points and 3 bowling points in the first innings are all that are available

No additional points for winning by an innings - maximum 8 bonus points in first innings (5 batting for 450 runs and 3 bowling for 9 wickets - both inside 110 overs bowled), 5 for a draw and 16 for a win. So 24 points is the maximum a team can achieve which is what we will get should we win.
Basically, if we win this game and one of our final two other matches we will stay up because Middlesex would have to win two of their remaining three games and that is highly unlikely.
Spin to win after just 7 overs with the new ball. Nijjar on - started with two slips plus a leg slip and a silly point (who was then moved to short leg)
This is going great guns so far, however having been saddled with the twin curse of supporting Charlton and Kent, well you know what I am getting at………
Two absolutely shocking shots to get out to too. The lack of celebration from Evison might be a reaction to the fact that he is playing against his old club but, equally, it could partially be a response to the fact that they weren't particularly good balls.

Fingers crossed they'll be staying in hibernation & our lads won't require any assistance from Fanny to avoid relegation.
