Anyone been on macron site just now? Seems sponsor less shirt has been taken down, can only find last year's kit.

I attended the last Eid prayers at Ewood with my wife and son. Every effort was made to protect the pitch, most came in sandals or other pit h friendly footwear. Shoes were taken off to pray, matting was used to cover the pitch where people were praying and on top of that we put our prayer mats. Before the prayers people came and sat with family and friends there was no wandering about the pitch or playing football. I stayed till well after and as a rovers fan inspected the pitch! There was very little evidence of damage at all as most left immediately after. One or two posed 'playing football' but it was for photo op rather than being allowed to run all over the pitch. This time I personally think it would be better to move more to the centre of the pitch rather than in the corner near the darwen/Riverside as the stitch areas are around the goals. All in all I wouldn't worry too much about the pitch as people were careful not to damage it and key areas were off limits by staff there.

David tearing into the bowling at the death. Should be over 200 for Lancs. 60 from 29 so far.

One nil Reading!

Loan bids for Aaron Ramsey and Trezeguet at villa.

One each. Leonard got the goal for Rovers

Not unexpected but and absolute shocking bowling performance from Woakes and Wood. Great start and then absolute rubbish thrown down by these two has seen the Aussies in position to win the test on the first day. England essentially down to 3 front line bowlers with stokes and now Robinson not bowling. Two of whom have been rubbish. Let's hope Broad takes some more wickets or this could be at least 400 for the Aussies. Edit Head has got himself out may be hope yet. Although they should be nowhere near 200 on this wicket.

That was an awful innings by Pope. Could be an innings defeat here.

35 for 3 Somerset falling apart.

80 for 2 not a bad start by Lancs. Was a bit worried with the two quick wickets.

Just 2 runs in it!! Lancs tail wagging.

Good fightback by Lancs. 230 for 8

Lancs getting schooled here!

My first prediction not looking too far off!!

Can see England being bowled out for 100 here. Edit change that to 50!!

England have thrown this away already with some poor bowling and awful field positions.

Good to see refereeing has improved this season!

Who else but Diazzzz!

Penalty Rovers

I know it's that twohat but...

21 needed from 2 overs, could be close!

So just to shake things up and keep everyone on their toes, Tony's Tombola has expanded to include players, positions and now formations this season!

Great win for Lancs! Dead and buried at 115 for 7 won by 2 wickets.

Good win for Lancs! Livingstone great knock
