Leicestersaint

Puncheon - although he may well start on the bench. We need an impact player with some pace and maybe he will fit the bill.

402 for 3 - fifth batting point secured. I assume they will declare about 12.30 pm around 150 ahead and gofor the win. Hopefully the weather will hold - it is pouring here in Leicester. The two Jameses continue to bat beautifully and are heading for a record stand.

Maiden century for Vince - first of many!

326 for 3 - we're ahead now with Vince on 92 and JA on 151 not out. Well done for a great performance.

Hampshire have reached 200 for 3 still 122 behind Yorkshire on the first innings. Looks like a draw but at least we will get some points. Jimmy Adams is on 96.

I fulyl agree with Tijuana Tim - well said. And I never cease to be amazed by the level of complacency that quite a few posters on here exhibit. It's all be OK ... etc. I was at the Orient match and I do think there are real reasons for concern - not least AP's failure to use substitutes sensibly. We lack real pace - hopefully Guly will help here - and our backs do not attack enough. Our defence looks suspect on occasions - and sometimes in the second half Orient outplayed us. We also have some players who don't look that good. I am certainly not losing any sleep about this but I don't think Saints are yet delivering the necessary quality or effort let alone results.

We haven't changed a winning side I see.

257 for 6 - bowling looking a bit threadbare with the exception of Cork? Why don't we play Wood in CC games?

I thought the officer behaved in a completely ridiculous manner and on several occasions was clearly obstructing people's view of the match. More likely to cause public disorder than stop it. Absurd.

174 for 5 now - so at least we have a bowling point.

We won the toss and put them in - I hope that was the right thing to do as they are currently 86 for 1. We need points.

Both Bale and Walcott are fast becoming world class players IMO. Maybe not Fuller though!

Good news - judging by Saturday we definitely need some pace.

Disappointing - we really should be able to beat Orient.Ienjoyed the game - very watchable - but I was disappointed in some players such as Puncheon and Hammond. We seem to lack pace. Pardew's substitutions brought on some pace and guile - but at least 20 minutes too late.

Very moving.

Leics have reached 96 for 3 off 20 overs. I am showing my ignorance but who is benny Howell??

I hate the Sun. I hate Murdock.

Great result(s)! Great team performance. Well done keithd!

Excellent result -really enjoyed watching it on TV - all a bit farcical towards the end but we held on and a huge congratulations to all the players. Very memorable.

Some of this is plain bonkers!

Somerset in the final - I just hope the rains goes away and doesn't spoil it.

So so sad and shocked - deep condolences to the Liebherr family and a great big thank you to Markus for all you did to save our club and give it back to us. The thanks of the grateful fans and city itself are there for all to see - you have left us far too early but you will not be forgotten. RIP.

Are we ever going to score?

O'Neill is a great manager IMHO.

Very good result - well done Hants.
