Great win for Lancs at Headingley tonight. Didn’t think 170 runs would be enough but bowlers did well.

Ludicrous to let Livingstone bowl the penultimate over. What a wasted opportunity.

Rain disrupting Lancs’ quarter final, too, now.

Wicket looks a mess, so Davies did well to score 80 odd.

Essex set 160 to win and are one wicket down already. Hopefully the rain fecks off.


Bottled it

Essex needed 29 with 13 balls left and they won with 5 balls left. Asked Livingston to bowl the 19th over after he had been hit early on. 2 or 3 bowlers had been more economical & he went for 22 runs ( 28 runs of 7 balls at that point)

Strange choice that cost us

Vilas a disgrace ,if they didn't want to get to finals day .let the fans know .first they play it at Durham ,home advantage should mean everything .and then to be so not arsed about losing putting a bowler on who had conceded some many runs ,and then saying that's what they normally do .even in the interview after I wish bumble had been there .

I cannot believe that Mahmood, who had bowled two overs for 10 runs, took a wicket and was threatening was festering in the outfield whilst a part time bowler was bowling two out of the last four overs to fairly well set batters.

159 looked a decent score and Davies batted really well. I do think the dew helped the ball skip on, whereas in the first innings the pitch looked a bit slow.

Agree that Livingstone was the wrong choice.

After record crowds, glorious sunshine (sometimes) and superb power hitting it seems ill fitting for us to go out on a cold miserable night watched by two men and a dog.

I saw the justification for choosing Durham as - we haven’t lost there in 7 years.
Thats because Durham play there.

I’ve now trawled through all of the speculation for Vilas’ choice of Livingstone - from match-fixing based in India to him having a prior engagement on finals day!

He’s since admitted he got it wrong and the only reasoning I could think of was that Mahmood and Gleeson would add pace on an already quickening pitch and therefore assist boundaries. Even then, though, why not use Parkinson? Faulkner could’ve had the final over?

Vilas has been a fine captain so far this season and to call for his resignation based on one bad decision (as some are doing on social media) is way over the top. It’s also worth remembering that Croft assisted a six prior to the penultimate over and all of our big hitters other than Davies failed to sparkle with the bat.

Having followed the tournament closely this summer (thanks to both Sky and a digital Lancashire membership) I can safely say that was a below par performance overall from us last night. Having also watched Essex several times, who have failed to impress me, it is a tough pill to swallow.

We now have a couple of County Championship games coming up to secure a league title with no other distractions. Hopefully we achieve that and this excellent season will still have something to show for itself.

Fair play to Bohannon who has just notched his maiden first class century, batting at number three. Another, only in cricket situation today of play not starting till 1.40 eventhough it had been sunny for a while as the players were having Lunch!

Bohannon's finished the day on 150no, a partnership of 194 with Livingstone (70no)

Weather looks a bit dodgy tomorrow afternoon, but with a lead of 25 and 8 wickets in hand, Lancs should be able to pile on enough runs in the morning to put real pressure on Derbs with another full day on Friday

If we win with all maximum bonuses, and other results go our way, then the title could be ours with two games still to play. I imagine it will go to the Middlesex game, though.

Lancs first innings concluded with a lead of 174 - exactly Bohannon's contribution!

The rain has stayed away thankfully, so very much game on

Three down, strange tactics!

Perhaps they're just not bothered, and decided to get some attacking batting practice in for their forthcoming T20 finals day

Parkinson shows his worth again. Another day-three wrap. It’s been a habit this season.

The tail spun out, It would good if Maxwell is signed up as overseas player next year as he contributes in all facets of the game and in all formats, although he has probably not contributed as many four(three) day runs as he might of liked.

He’s dodging the question on Twitter, unsurprisingly. It would be great to see him back.

Money talks I suppose and the full season is a big commitment. Would an IPL contract with and a gig in the Windies equivalent earn him near enough what a Lancs one would? He might also get picked up in the hundred?

At least we went out to the eventual winners (which probably means we would’ve won it, or summat).

A fantastic day's entertainment at Edgbaston, to (almost) round off a great cricketing summer

Just the small matter of the 1st v 2nd clash at Taunton next week to decide the county champions. Hope the weather allows for a decent contest

Oh, and for Lancs to remain undefeated
