The first wicket fell to Christopher, who bowled his man around his legs: 11-1.
Phil managed the next breakthrough, with Ad holding onto a sharp catch in the slips: 32-2.
Ivy held onto a drive off Christopher's bowling: 42-3.
With his next ball, Christopher held a catch himself: 42-4.
Lara then set about our bowling - he took 19 runs off my first over, as they tried to push the run rate up.
Rob held onto a drive from one of Vicus' balls: 82-5.
I got Lara with my next over - caught by Carol: 84-6.
I achieved a clean bowled in my next over: 86-7.
Rob's pacey ball took out the middle stump: 92-8.
And another: 94-9.
And finished the innings: 94-10.
Tea was a traditional dish of Lancashire hotpot and chips, followed by Eccles cakes, Manchester Tart and some parkin with a slice of Lancashire cheese. Gosh, the catering quality has gone up since Z took over.The target looked easily achievable, and we set off briskly, until Mincat was caught: 15-1.
I had pushed Ad up to number 3, as I haven't done much in the last two innings, he and Christopher continued the attack, until Christopher was caught: 26-2.
Ad was striking the ball nicely, but eventually edged to the keeper: 40-3.
ILTV was caught and bowled, and suddenly things were looking a little shaky: 43-4.
Richard and I steadied the ship, until he was caught and bowled: 78-5.
I persuaded Carol to take some deep breaths, and play steadily, and between us we saw the side home: 95-5.
As you can see from the league table we're still second, with New Zealand leading by virtue of their extra game played.
Next week we're away in Bangladesh.
