Inspired piece of captaincy by Morgan bringing on Joe Root and a sharp bit of fielding to remove the Smith clone Labuschagne.

Need another wicket.

Right now!!

Has anyone ever seen Woods and Woakes in the same room?

[den]

Well, we’ll, well.

 One over to go, 10 needed. Oz can’t miss out again can they?

[Riversider28]

How the hell did we lose that? Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Fair play to Maxwell and Carey though, two brilliant innings. Archer off the pace and even though we scored over 300, that score would have been much better if we hadn’t gone 0-2 after two balls.

[den]

No.

[Gav]

Last over Rashid?

Fuming......

[gumboots]

Seemed a very odd choice when today clearly wasn't Rashids day.

I can't bloody sleep thinking about why Rashid got the last over and then tossed one that begged to be smacked and was.

Tom C is supposed to be a good closer so I thought he might get it.

Root was in weird but good bowling form but that might have been a step too far for the final over.

My mind has gone blank it's 5.20 am here and I'm dog tired but either Wood or Archer had an over left.

Archer did over before I think, and Woakes had done his 10.

Was Rashid or Curran. Morgan made wrong choice. Curran a good death bowler. 

And as Gumboots said Rashid wasn't even bowling well. 

[Gav]

Morgan was clearly trying to tempt them to hit to the short side, looking for a top edge, it had worked earlier, but was a massive gamble that failed.

Archer was poor all day, he looked uninterested at times, needs more consistency which will come, we forget he's only a young lad.

Tough one to take that, still angry.,..

4 Yorkshire players withdrawn from tonight’s T20 because Covid tests haven’t come back, it’s seems like sport isn’t immune to testing issues either.

All 4 are now self isolating for 14 days and out of tonight’s game - one of them has Covid, but it’s not been announced which one.

Lets hope that makes for a Lancashire win tonight o2g 

Whilst wishing them a speedy recovery of course.

Good game so far.

No doubt about it, Old Trafford wins the best music in between overs award, just superb:

The Doves Charlatans. Oasis, James, Buzzcocks, Northside, The Smiths, Happy Monday’s, Mock Turtles.

[Riversider28]

Can you believe that. What a comeback from Lancs.They were completely out of the game with Root and Lythe knocking it everywhere. When they went so did the rest of the Puddings. Brilliant win and we qualify for the final stages. The Yorkers go back to the dark side as losers- again!

[den]

I’ll just Add, Root was absolute class. Head and shoulders above anyone else.

What a pool to pick from these manc bands. We once took our mate who hates cricket to the t20. He failed to be won over by the cricket but he said he’d come back for the songs. 

[AllRoverAsia]

Having just got up an hour ago after a good lie in it is apparent that I went to bed just before Lyth was run out.

Bugger.

The best bit about that is bohannon, Bailey and parry were giving the celebrations some after being dropped/left out. Good sign

[Ewood Ace]

Disgraceful that Sky are not showing The Bob Willis Trophy final next week and are instead showing the corrupt Indian baseball. Sadly Sky's cricket content and quality of coverage is declining sharply from what it once was.

[den]

It’s a brilliant video though, really good to see. Somehow it’s a bit different from similar football videos showing similar celebrations.
