It was going okay at 112-2 but it's now 121-5 and we still need quite a lot of runs to get to a competitive total.

It might be enough but I'm a little disappointed we didn't bat better and set something like 220.

It doesn't look like we're winning this unless we start picking up a lot more wickets on a regular basis.

Not a good performance. I thought we were short of a good enough total but our bowling was really poor so even if we had a better total I'm unconvinced we'd have got the win.

Down to 2nd place now and with the top team to play next week. If we don't win there then that's pretty much any hope of promotion gone.

Slow pitch and we chose to bowl first. It wasn't too bad a performance but my keeper didn't seem to want to take most of the chances that came his way. He managed to drop Yusuf in consecutive balls.

N. Matema (rfm) 2-0-8-0, F. Bullock 25 (14b), B. Jupp 7 (11b)
End of over 4 (4 runs) - Ruff Royals(33-0). 87 runs required from 16 overs. RR 8.25 RRR 5.44

Bullock seems like he's got an appointment later on as he looks like he wants to finish this quickly. I suppose he has slowed down after take 13 runs from his first 4 balls face.

It's not going well now. We're losing too many wickets and are behind the RRR.

Not great. We probably needed to take more of our chances but it really wasn't a good batting performance.

Another capacity crowd today in a tough game. I've had to rest a couple of spinners so I'm not expecting to get anything from this game. We won the toss and decided to bowl first.

A decent effort considering we only had one spinner in this game; it's less than I was expecting to have to chase.

I was not expecting that to be quite as easy as it was. It was a bit of a shame that Best got out when only 2 more runs were needed. 54 not out for McCall and 61 for Best.

That win should move us 6 points clear of the relegation zone and maybe 4 points of top spot.

We lost the toss but were put in to bat anyway which is what I had chosen to do anyway.

Bullock was dropped twice early on and has made them pay so far. He probably needs to get a really big score to make us favourites. It's a crucial game as it's first versus second with them being first. Even if we win I suspect we'll lose the title race.
