Dodging the rain showers-hypothermia

Back to Aigburth for the second days play of the Lancashire v Warwickshire game.
A super drive into Liverpool fairly quiet on the road and the journey was done in sunshine.
It was deceptive however, it was a bit cooler than yesterday.
The first half hours play brought 8 maidens on the bounce as Procter and Keedy dug in  against the Bears opening attack., slow going indeed.
The first run added was a wide after 31 minutes, a few minutes later Keedy departed caught at cover from Wrights bowling. 127-6 and the home side were stuggling.
Wicket keeper Cross kept Procter company and these two slowly took the score 170 just before lunch when Crosss was caught behind.
Lancs lunched at 172-7 having eeked out less than 50 runs in a two hours session.
The morning sunshine had long since disappeared and the temperature had dropped by a good few degrees extremely cold it was by the players lunch time.
The afternoon session was entertaining in respects that Chapple put bat to bowl and soon overtook his partner who had been batting for 3 hours longer, he did have a bit of luch edging a couple of shots through the slips and one narrowly missing his stumps. At 228-7 the ground staff arrived en masse where the covers were, within seconds it was raining and a tactical decision was made time to go home.
By the time the players came out again I was on the M6 a wise decision.
