Day 2 Close
Umbria: 58 for 14 up 9.
It took Umbria just one and a half sessions on the second day to win the toss and take an early advantage over the Imaginary tourists.
With conditions both under and overhead looking fine and the pitch showing early signs of deterioration, it wasn't a difficult decision for Umbrian captain Majahid Ranmanakoolaban, and the Umbrian opening pair of Bruhinda and Cooli were soon on their way out to the middle.
The Imaginary team are missing star chucker 'Big' Timmy Anderson for this tour but that didn't seem to upset their rhythm, with offside dipper chucker Stevie Johnsonson soon breaking the pair and sending Cooli back to the rabbit hole. A drinks break followed (The Umbrian battersmen settling for a swift half each, while the Imaginary team went straight for the wine) and the pace slowed for the latter half of the afternoon.
A decisive shout from Bruhinda took the game to tea - and disturbed a few resting pigeons - both teams sharing the laurels and a lamb curry. The evening session progressed slowly but steadily, a couple for Imaginary's paceman Kimmerson and a few free hits for Simbadbadman of Umbria took the score up to 58, with 14 up 9 back in the hole.
So we'll be regrouping tomorrow for day 3 with the match delicately poised.
