Weather might save us - there's meant to be some horrendous stuff on the way.

Our batting (Nash and Joyce apart) has been shocking

Would love to see Luke Wright produce a decent captain's knock here...

Oh FFS.

Azharullah returns to the attack and gets Luke Wright trapped in front with his 2nd ball ball... his 4th wicket

[CHAPPERS]

Surely it's swinging all over the place down there?

 

[Gwylan]

Surely it's swinging all over the place down there?

I'm off to play in an evening game in a few minutes. I reckon there'll be more swinging than a Hugh Hefner party. Should be fun

I'm there on Friday, please hang on until then at least!

Machan gone... 133-5

30 from 34 balls was not really what Sussex needed from him.

Machan gone... 133-5

30 from 34 balls was not really what Sussex needed from him.

Wonder why he keeps his place. Yet another dire first innings batting performance from all bar one of the team.

156-9. Dire.
