Joseph to take 15 wickets

Hopefully bazball gets destroyed

[Armchair expert]

Anderson smashing it in what I guess will be his last county match 6/18 off 9 overs

Finishes with 7/35 off 16 overs.

Lyon wicketless off six overs

Notts bowled out for 126. 2/84 in the 2nd dig Lyon with both wickets. Still 143 behind and a day to play.

Don't think he is retiring from county cricket is he, thought it was just international duties

Lyon wicketless off six overs

Notts bowled out for 126. 2/84 in the 2nd dig Lyon with both wickets. Still 143 behind and a day to play.

Including his 800th first class wicket.

1,000 is probably in reach if he's interested. Not sure how many Australians would have achieved that mark. Warnie, George Giffen, Albert Trott*, Clarrie Grimmett and Garth McKenzie all appear to have reached 1,000. There may be more.

The catch on the last ball by the one gloved keeper is even crazier than the scorelines
