A good spell yeh, definitely had some luck on his side with the Lyth decision which was a very poor one, and I think we all saw Root's ball clearly bounce before it went into the hands

Absolutely amazing interview with James Taylor during lunch, definitely worth trying to catch it sometime.

Currently loving Cricketing Yorkshire - makes me wish I'd worked harder at my game and discovered cricket a bit earlier!

James Taylor feature is really humbling and makes you realise just how lucky you are! Might have to exercise a bit more and get in shape as you just don't know what you've got until you lose it!

Lees looking good again; could be in line for a go as Cooks opening partner?

the James Taylor interview really was interesting viewing
 
i had to pick my jaw up from the floor when he mentioned that his HR was going at 265bpm

Anyone have a link to that interview?

Thought that was a pretty selfish knock from balance, batting at a SR of 50 in a chase. More worried about impressing in front of the cameras after his first innings failure then giving his team a chance to win.

had a good day watching worcester vs essex. always going to end as a draw but got to see some good batting.

Think that James Tomlinson deserves a call-up. Didn't expect to be bowling after the end of April but still getting those LBWs. Proper county pro.

[OllieWalker39]

Pretty Selfish - agreed; but if he'd stayed around and anchored one end, allowing more naturally aggressive batsmen to attack - it'd have been the right move.

I think Lees will be in line for a call-up at some point soon - but get some more county work under his belt, wait to see how he gets through another difficult period where runs are thin on the ground, and take him touring with the Lions this winter and look to start him in tests next year based on performance. I wouldn't be against him getting a shout against Sri-Lanka or Pakistan, but feel a Lions tour would be a better way to go; with the Ashes being the end of 2017, there's plenty of time. Lots of exciting young lads starting to crop up to replace the current crop although I feel we've been spoilt a bit with Anderson and Broad as an opening duo.
 - Side point; could Taylor's departure lead to a new face in the middle order - if so ECB management may want to keep changes elsewhere to a minimum!

Pretty sure it was more or less calculated - Yorkshire wanted to get to tea with Notts believeing that the game was meandering along to a draw, believing, probably correctly, that there was less danger to them in chasing 175 in 20 overs with eight wickets left than trying to chase 300 in 45 with nine.

Raviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I will be at headingley for the last two sessions! Hope there some Yorkshire batsmen left for when I get there!

Looking like Hampshire's injury problems have finally become too much. Lancs 74 ahead with 9 wickets in hand and it's not even lunch on day 2. really hope they can find a way to hang on until Topley, Berg and Stevenson are fit again. Edwards is a big loss.

Anyone know why Bell is batting at no. 7? Was he off injured for some time or something?
