    Can’t afford to lose a wicket now or It could put them way behind in d/l

    Massive blow but he’s given us a chance at least. Much better off than we were 60-70 mins ago.

    Well watch the rugby then, or the local squabble in Lancashire, this is the cricket thread, were going well till you crowed them

    And even losing just the one wicket only put us about 10 behind DLS :( Think KOB would have loved to have had DRS for that LBW.

    Wilson is no mug at all and Dockrell has transformed his batting in recent times. I'm watching both games, we aren't dead yet but will be pretty special if these two can get us close enough for a Murtagh last ball 6 to win finish ;)

    West indies brought back their premium strike bowler to finish off our middle order. We probably should have brought Murtagh back earlier to finish off theirs

    Just needed Joyce and O'Brien to stay in another 5 overs.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    205 all out. Chance definitely there today. Need to take every wicket chance against the likes of the West Indies. Must win every game from here on. Including against the hosts.

    Stirling (or Wilson) hold one or both of those catches ... we let them get way too many from where we had them :( Commentary probably right also on the evidence of things we'd have been better off with McCarthy instead of Dockrell or McBrine in those conditions.

    We're pretty certainly going to have to do this the hard way now and win 4 on the trot (and hope the weather doesn't mess us around). Fingers crossed Hong Kong can do us a favour and beat Nepal (or the weather makes it a NR) to qualify and get rid of Afghanistan! I'd also take a Scotland win over Zimbabwe please?

    Keeping an eye on this earlier. Seems we let them off the hook when we had them struggling. That old cliche - 'catches win matches'. What was Powell on when he was dropped, didn't see it, was it a half decent chance?

    Powell was dropped on 18 I think.

    Big game tomorrow. I was pretty down following the game yesterday but the thing is we made the chances to win it. I know we could have done with better bowling at times, especially at the end but on reflection we are good enough to win games like that. It gives me hope that they will learn from that and beat the other teams still in it. I hope Afghanistan don't make it to the next stage because I'd be wary of playing them.

    Hopefully the West Indies smoke all the remaining teams and leave a fight for second place. We've beaten UAE and Scotland recently. We'd need to play well to beat Zimbabwe (and take all our chances) and then beat the fourth team.

    First things first though, need to beat UAE convincingly tomorrow.
