The vital period of this game could be Livingston taking 20 from an Ed Barnard over, gave us a slender lead, have to say Parnell bowled excellently backed up with some smart Worcester fielding. Batting was never easy if you got in you coukld score but there were some unplayable deliveries, got to restrict them to less than a 150 lead, could be interesting tomorrow
