0.0 Mørk and Mamesh setting off to increase their lead here.
9.0 20 wickets fell in the first 76 overs - Mørk and Mamesh are showing how it should be played, and are plundering runs at present, with a lead of 112. The Colts will have a lot to think about going into the pavilion.
Welcome back, the last day's play was certainly eventful, 20 wickets falling for very little before Mørk and Mamesh played entertaining cricket in the late hours. Hancock to open the bowling with Wright.
10.4 That's the end of Mørk's innings - once again he fails to convert a start for the Reds. Hancock's fourth ball gives him a wicket today.
12.5 Hancock's at it again! Mamesh has hit that high to midwicket but Bharat puts it down, Mamesh survives on 27.
14.5 Stunning spell from Hancock, this. Stedman slices the ball to Greg Thomas, who doesn't look too unhappy with being taken off. Hancock's just as unplayable as Thomas was yesterday.
16.1 Mamesh hoiks Hancock, four runs.
16.2 Mamesh hoiks Hancock, right down the throat of Malthus-Howell. Out for 32.
18.3 Hancock to Dauth...yorker! Dauth gets hit on the toe, plumb in front, easiest lbw decision you'll ever see. Hancock's taken four for 18 in a stunning spell here.
18.6 McNamara brought on for Wright.
22.2 And again! Thirteen successive dot balls, Dobson crumbles under the pressure and gives an outside edge to captain Wright. Five down for 88, and it's a five-for from Nick Hancock.
26.5 Slower ball from Rai - Robbins thumps it to the boundary. Four runs and that's 12 off the over, including four leg byes.
33.1 That's shattered his stumps! Feeney drags the ball from McNamara back onto his own wicket, he's gone for 14 to leave Reds in a spot of bother again. And Hancock may be coming back after lunch.
37.4 Robbins slices to Pitt, silly shot at this stage. Red are seven down now, as Thomas gets his first wicket in this innings.
38.2 Rai has the final say as he precipitates an early lunch by taking the wicket of Borcich. With a lead of 204, the match is very interestingly poised still
39.6 Ooh, what an over from Thomas! Varied bowling, nearly had Bennett lbw and caught. Then Bennett gets a single on the final ball off the outside edge.
42.1 Hancock back for Rai.
42.3 Hancock bowls...Bennett tries to cut but slices the ball to second slip. Greg Thomas holds on.
42.5 Kennett hits Hancock for three. Onto 7 off 11 balls.
45.2 Thomas gets the final wicket, but if Colts are to win this they are to thank Hancock. A magnificent spell this morning has sent Reds reeling, and the target to win here at Goffmouth is a meagre 217.
:P
