Kent V Sussex, Canterbury, LV Championship

[Barrel of Fun]

We were only 13 points ahead of them (before this match) and Hants are off the bottom with their victory. Possibly a sensible choice if it was deemed unlikely for us to put on 50 for this wicket.

Ladies and Gents, we are in a relegation battle!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yep, good idea. That should be match drawn now, no point carrying on.

Durham fell agonisingly short of pulling off a remarkable victory as a final-wicket stand of 57, between Steve Harmison and Mark Davies, carried them to with five runs of their target against Hampshire at Chester-le-Street. "This was a massive win for us," Hampshire captain Dimitri Mascarenhas, told the Press Association. "It would have been really tough to come back from losing that one." The last pair came together when Paul Wiseman fell to James Tomlinson and, given their respective batting averages of nine and 11, Hampshire's first Championship win of the season appeared a formality. But slowly and surely they chipped off the runs, going to lunch with 27 required, and it came down to single figures against Chris Tremlett and Shane Bond. However, in his last game for Hampshire, Bond had the final say, having Davies caught behind chasing a wide ball, to end with nine wickets in the match as Nic Pothas claimed his tenth catch. The home side's hopes at the start of the day appeared to rest with Dale Benkenstein, but he fell to Bond after reaching his half-century. The contest, though, was far from over.
