I just didn't want to tempt fate!

Fantastic effort from Harmer to see us home.

Fantastic effort from Harmer to see us home.

Yep, he's already becoming a great signing for us.

Another quality team effort.

Next Wednesday's match against Sussex is live on SKY, for anyone who might not be aware.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

looks like, if nothing else, we've got a lower order with some ability and some guts. well done again lads

 

[Blueronron]

My son was there yesterday, unfortunately I could not make it

He thought Surrey lost it at the start of the match, rather than getting all out with 14 balls left, not sure reason why Lawrence not in the team

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

315 - that's ok but think they'd have wanted another 15-20 runs.

 

[AndyT]

Cheers 'Yorkshire'

I'd forgotten we were playing, today. Had in my mind it was tomorrow for some reason.

Nice century for Cooky, I see.

315 is probably just above par at Chelmsford.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think we left a few runs out there when Chopra and Cook were batting together, hopefully it won't matter and we can preserve this unbeaten start to the season.

And as I type this a get a wicket alert :thumbsup:

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

And another, 86-2 now.

Ravi bowling very tight (5-0-12-0)

 

[AndyT]

103 needed off 10 overs. Think we should be OK.

Meanwhile, Pakistan chucking the test match away!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

103 needed off 10 overs. Think we should be OK.

I'd like to think so, but I don't share your confidence.

Ten an over for ten with two set batsmen in seems pretty doable.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

And Wagner goes for 21 in an over:omg:

We need a wicket here.

 

[AndyT]

Two quick wickets. We've got this won!

Pakistan 36 for 7! :omg:
