Booth is doing everything in this game to contradict my criticism of him, fair play!

A good opening spell from booth, economical and getting wickets. Looks like he could be ome a very valuble member of the team.

Yep fair play, I had my doubts last season but people slagging him.after one game this season was a bit mad. He's almost single handedly keeping us in the game here.

Booth is making my praise of him yesterday, make me look good. It had to happen one day, I remember when we signed Jeetan Patel, "Why, his first-class record is awful, Can't really see him being a success". Duh!

I've not managed to watch any of today - is the pitch deteriorating or is a decent total chaseable?

Little bit of up and down creeping in. Must bowl at the stumps even more so right now on this pitch..

Bedingham might hold the key now, a superb batsman and capable of taking the game away from us and we do not want any tailwagging after this.

I think that over 300 may be a daunting task tomorrow.
Maybe we can take slight comfort from the fact that Worcestershire have lost by an embarrassing 504 runs. It is starting to look like a question of who will go down with them.

Think the rain might have a say after lunch tomorrow?

What was Yates doing leaving that !?

Careful, you know it's not permitted to critisize our "wonderful" opening batters here! :-)

He obviously thought been on the field for 10 deliveries was a full days work!

Careful, you know it's not permitted to praise our "woeful" opening batters here!

Looks like it could well be a struggle to bat today, a bit overcast with winds and some rain in the air.

We should take comfort that Smith and Booth batted for a long time when we were in trouble. The Durham attack if you take out Potts, is not that good really, I hope we take our time and wear their bowlers down a bit.

Big innings from Hain required

Big half hour now till lunch, really can't afford to lose another before the interval.

Hain & Mousley gone, in big trouble now

Hain - thought he'd put the lazy waft outside off stump away long ago.

Mousley - I don't know what to say about that one I'm afraid.

I think we should now just look to survive the day, that would be a good result from here.

1 bad shot after another

eta - This will be done by Tea........maybe they all fancy less journey time next season with shorter trips to Northants, Worcs, Leics & Derbys?

Going gets tough.. we collapse.

This is a very average side with glaring gaps in quality.
