I quite like this new set up. Keeps interest for all the teams throughout. Also, good to see the ‘also-rans’ that have been stuck in the second division for years having a chance to compete.

Totally agree. Of course, it does help when you're winning and playing well. Long may it continue for Lanky.

The problem with the 2 division format is too many games are irrelevant and most farcically with 8 teams in div 1 and 10 teams in div 2 not every team played each other twice in div 2. A similar nonsense in the blast format.

Another thing I like is the continuity of fixtures. Baring a couple in July every match starts on Thursday and finishes on Sunday. Know exactly where you stand particularly when can start attending again. There as one season where lancs played one or two county championship games that coincided with a weekend.

Tricky chase for Lancs but looks like they’re not going to die wondering 6.4.44 this over.

Going into the final day needing 129 more runs with 8 wickets left,avoiding any collapses it should be another win hopefully.

Good win for Lancs by 5 wickets against Sussex. Jennings 91 not out, Davies 73. Onwards and upwards.

Darren stevens is still some player at 45. Currently 190 not out off 148. Put on 166 with Miguel Cummings who’s contributed 1.

Lot of chatter in the press about the old Trafford test in September being at risk as India want to restart the ipl in Dubai then. Talk about it being moved to July or even done away with which is not good as first three days are sold out. The ECB are Keen to get Indian players involved In the hundred which the Indian board have not allowed. Can see ECB using this to further the hundred to the detriment of the old Trafford test if it was Lord's or the oval would be different kettle of fish

I’ve got tickets for day 3... but I’d be open for a July move. OT in mid September? 🥶

Looking forward to the last day of the Roses match today. Taking 8 wickets isn’t the formality it was on day 1. Could be a close call. Come on Lancy 🌹

Mahmood has bowled well in the first hour of play
