Well done to the batsmen. Hain is looking strong this season. Knowing our luck he'll be selected for England soon.....!

This is poor. Injuries aside, I wonder if Pop Welch leaving has had an affect on our bowling? Doesn't seem the same with new coach Matt Mason. I'd rather have Allan Donald as the bowling coach....

The bowling lacks any real menace. What is the issue with Norwell? A really poor day against one of the weakest Counties.

The Woakes situation is so frustrating. What is the issue? Surely Norwell will return??

A collapse. Hopefully we can see this out after tea. Rhodes is in such poor form.

As I said, Davies needs to move down the order. Another failure with just 10 runs. Put Yates back to partner Sibley!

Yes, a good fight back and I'm glad to see McAndrew took 4 wickets - that should help his confidence.

165/0. Painful to watch. Yes, McAndrew needs to step up. I hope this overseas signing works, but I have my doubts. Why don't we sign a top player, especially after the non-success of the overseas signings last year? Surely the club has the resources.

We could do with him now given the number of bowlers injured or not match fit!

A rain delay at the moment, that might be helpful!

Lancs 127/0. Not great at all. As others have said without our senior bowlers including two Test players the attack lacks potency. We should've got at least 400 in our innings, so an under par score is being easily chased down at the moment.

273/7 at close of play. Dom is still there on 118. A couple of loose shots at the end spoiled it somewhat. A bit too gung ho in the last 5 overs or so.

Excellent knock by Dom and Chris Benjamin. Regarding Davies, did he open at Lancs? To me, he'd be more useful in the middle order when the ball is a bit older?

Lamb has a hamstring problem...

Davies out for a duck! Offered no shot and lost his off stump. 0/1. Again another poor start. Bowler Bailey looks dangerous for Lancs....

The Woakes situation really is frustrating. I see Mousley is still unavailable, it was supposed to be a two week recovery for the finger injury?

I thought Norwell was ok now?

Any word on why Olly broke down in an over for the seconds? Hopefully it's not his back again, surely?

We really miss Woakes and Stone. Somerset had both Overton and Leach playing and Lancs have had Anderson bowling for them. Woakes even when fit is rarely allowed to play for Warwickshire. The ECB always seem to come up with an excuse to prevent him playing.

Shocking performance. Losing by an innings to a team who've had 3 straight defeats is dire. Hopefully Norwell and Mousley are back for Lancs. Be good if Woakes made a appearance soon!
