Been today, another roller coaster 21-3 then Jonny B took over and looked certain for his century but played a loose shot. Patto made sure the tail wagged and left Lancy with a target of 323.
All day wickets fell in bursts and they looked comfotable at 54-0 which changed to 54-1 and then we got them to 111- 5 but, from both sides, it was never straightforward. Buttler was VERY fortunate not to be given out LBW on 20 odd and, if he had been, we would have wrapped it up this evening.
As it was they had their best partnership of the match. It was a gruelling last session of 48 overs in sticky, muggy conditions and the many Yorkies present were starting to fret when the Golden boy made his best contribution of the match. Buttler played a loose sweep which went to Williamson at leg slip.
Cue Buttler head in hands and the rest chasing Joe around the square.
A long hot, sticky day that should conclude with a Yorks win tomorrow but this game has had so many twists and turns that I, for one, will be glad to see the last 3 wickets fall.

Best ever 1st class bowling figures of 7.4 overs, 5 maidens. 4 wkts, 5 runs for Joe.
White Rose supremacy rules as we go above lacklustre Lancy.
Job done, on to the next one.
That's as good a hiding as we gave the pigs in their own back yard last season
