Declaration at 400 you'd hope to deny Somerset the final bowling point if they can get there for 8 wickets down or less.

Somerset: 224 & 22-1
Durham: 400-7dec
In Play



Just need the bumpkins not to have any daft collapses and play out for the draw now.

Barmy Harmy already nibbled out Troubled Tres.

Hants have 5 Surrey wickets already. Win that and they go close to the top I think?

They go top on 160 as far as I can tell, but with only one match left.

Maunders you useless piece of ex-leicestershire dross

And now raining which means they'll probably turn to blocking it if it resumes

Harsh JK, considering you England International scored less.

Lads done not too bad with 80+ runs in the match.

Looks like being: -

Hants.........15....160
Somerset...14....159
Durham.....14....157
Notts..........14....156
Kent...........14....147
Sussex.......14....141
Lancs.........14....135
Yorks.........14....135
Slurrey......GAWWWWWWWN!


Kent, Sussex, Lancs and Yorks all in with a mathematical chance of the title as well as serious relegation worries.

What makes it interesting is the weather situation - bunching it all together.

Slurrey haven't won a game all season!

Samit has asked his club skipper for £500k to play in their final game of the season tomorrow.

LV County Championship - Division Two

Leicestershire: 169-4 & 110-4
Gloucestershire: 281 & 198-4
Gloucestershire beat Leicestershire by 200 runs

Hmmmm . . .

Any truth in the rumour that Leicestershire have conceded the game by refusing to take to the field after tea when Barry Leadbetter caught Paul Nixon with his hands down his box having a crafty scratch and accused him of ball tampering?

Let's all laugh at Slurrey.

Surrey v Hampshire at The Oval - Sep 9-12, 2008
Hampshire won by an innings and 122 runs
Hampshire 480/8d; Surrey 210 and 148 (f/o)

I'm reckoning on total BBC scorecard ballsup myself.

Match drawn I reckon

Aye - my thought at first too, but Crapinfo says the same!

Gloucestershire beat Leicestershire by 200 runs

If only it were true.....

Ton No.84 for Langer

Northants V Essex: Match Drawn

Pears need 8 points to be certain of going up

All about catching the bears really...

17 points behind with 2 games to go. Next game for us is Warwickshire at home!

FWIW I'll be cheering for Essex!

We will rise again. Oh yes. Evil cannot be denied. You Peasants.

Recruiting Shoaib worked then.

Don't count on it! It's a long haul back up.
Welcome to the murky depths of Division 2 and a warm welcome awaits the Dancing Queen when he next visits HQ or Uxbridge.
Now that IS going to be evil !!

Fark me the Pro40 is on the TV, and John Maunders has even got a gig in that side!

'Who ate all the pies?, who ate all the pies?... you fat bastard, you fat bastard YOU ate all the pies!!'

Essex's plodders getting tonked by a Kent side looking for a bit of revenge.

Not too fussed about the div2 title (it's a bit like 'winning' 10th) but hope we can at least stay above the dastardly Yorkies & Taffs on NRR to go up.

Trouble for Napier - looks like he's gone over on his ankle.

Kent 246/5 off 40 overs

Key 120* off 117 balls

Further proof (if it were required) that he should be in England's ODI squad.

Essex's bowling bar Masters is pretty powderpuff though without Kaneria. Napier looks gawn for the season too....

Yorkies score 182.

Barring an 85 all out collapse, should be enough to go up.
