A huge thanks to Worcestershire who have just lent me a laptop for the last cough of the season. The wind has picked up now, the umpires have replaced their hats for flat caps and those players doing a last perambulation are in football manager coats and beanie hats. Worcestershire 152-7, Phillip three for 57. The lead 155. Time for one last Lancs-up of the season?

“[Today] It is an opportunity to try to build a bit of confidence going into next year by trying to establish a bit of rhythm, expose the players to different situations that will help move the club forward. We have had a tough season. The table doesn’t lie but even when there is nothing a stake, each game is an opportunity to find something, maybe a little bit of a spark to take forward.”
