Lead of 12 at lunch 8 down be good to eek that out to 50
Usually not a stable foundation. Rhodes showing promise but don't like Sibley as an opener. Too often only one batsman turns up.Rhodes is holding it together scores not far apart, but as a group they are not posting big enough first innings scores I expected a lot of over 450
Just woke up to see Bell walking off, we need an opener Sibley isn’t the answer
I was gutted, toyed with the idea of going to watch Day 1 but decided I'd give it a miss and do some jobs round the house. Missed that hat-trick and 19 wickets going down, would have been a great use of £10 and a SundaySee the hat trick Jordan Clark took for Lancs- Joe Root, Kane Williamson & Jonny Bairstow 2,3 & 16 in the world at the minute, must be one of the greatest hatricks of all time?

It's only a fiver if you get a lunchtime admission ticket too. Shows me I should go with my instincts and just get a ticket in the future, sadly I put it down to still being on a hype after the T20 on Friday so resisted. Luckily they do a live stream with the Radio Lancashire commentary so I caught a lot of it on there.Good value that!
Yorkshire won easy in the end, Root taking a bizzare 4-5. Poysden only bowled 7 overs taking 1 wicket so not much to take from that for him, guess they might have him back for another look
64-4 Trott is out woakes and Hain batting
The first innings has cost the bears here let Middlesex off the hook
Latest on Brookes “excellent young pace bowler, Henry Brookes, also has a stress reaction in his back - hopefully nothing too serious but he faces a prolonged period of rest."
something has to be wrong with the preparation of quicks in general - not just here Australia had a lot of the same problems. Possibly similar to football when the continuing shift towards almost body builder physiques seems to have increased the number of muscular-related injuries. It's like the over muscular development means bodies are too taut and have no natural padding/insulation -try and pull a string too tight and it will break in the end.Terrible news a couple of weeks with England and this happens there must be something wrong at the ecb as it happens a lot

they don't bowl a fraction of the overs quicks used to and yet always breaking down.
you can almost field an XI of English Test quicks that have had shortened careers over last 10 years .
bit of a stretch but the great West Indies side had that conveyor belt of astonishing quicks and from memory all of them were natural athletes rather than manufactured in a gym. Again bowled a lot more overs than the current lot do. They'd have their Test series and most of them a full county season as well.Tremlett was another he literally turned into a body builder and just started picking up injuries!

Maybe greater stamina work over weightlifting would be more useful. These guys aren't bowling significantly quicker than their predecessors. Know exactly what Bob Willis would have told anyone he had to start pumping iron.
Rugby's another one when they seem to spend more time in the gym than on the training pitch. Then wonder why players get injured when they are hit at pace by 18st of muscle. 3/4s now are bigger than the old forwards used to be!!
Great. That's not a great injury to pick up at any time but not good news at all at his age.Henry Brookes our for the rest of the season with a stress fracture of the lumber spine thanks ecbs bowling coaches
