In that Yorks/Soms game, it's a bit like a game we played in 2010 v either Yorks (With OHD) or Lancs where the first 5 wickets did nowt in each innings and the last 5 appeared to score a decent amount in each innings. In a low scoring game, this Yorkshire 2nd innings could yet do something if tomorrow is a bit wet and also time and overs used up can't hurt us.

Just spectacular. This team just continues to grow in confidence, talent, and belief.

Great win, 3 on the trot.

Best thing was dropping Davies and bringing Kai Smith in........nothing against Davies but it was a season overdue.

Sussex are 50 ahead with 4 wickets to go moving into the 3rd day. Yorks holding Somerset up 139 ahead with 4 wickets to get.

Plenty of times during that second bowling innings particularly it feels like teams of previous years just wouldn’t have hammered home the advantage and really seen it through.

Ethan Bamber spoke about the team really buying into when to be aggressive and when to hold, and it’s probably testament to that and such a skillful and disciplined attack that we’re able to deliver. That’s just 7 days cricket played out of a possible 12 in the most saturated stage of the season. In the best physical condition, the most dominant form, would you want to bet against us?

If Yorkshire can get out of their game v Somerset with a draw or win, no one would be betting against us.

Excellent run chase. Hate it when sides get bogged down chasing low totals and almost sleep walk into trouble. Have to be proactive. Brilliant, brilliant win. A 2 day win which felt longer if you get what I mean.

Superb bowling as a unit but we just hung on in there and didnt get frustrated even when things weren't going our way. Kai looked a bit ragged either side of lunch but the catch to dismiss Allison was terrific and galvanised us. Excellent work by the openers in the run chase, well batted Zen Malik.

Come on Yorkshire, their lead is 108 and very highly rated (By me) George Hill is playing nicely with Bess and these 2 made runs in the 1st innings, please one of you get to 3 figures and help us out, we've done our bit.

Got wickets against us at Rugby School a couple of years back and people on here rubbished him, was unfair, he's a serious player and has been bowling well for a few years now whilst remaining a handy batter.
