More people than can watch it at 11am on a Monday.

Oh we fancy a bat. Great to see Rawlins in at the expense of Nash - Sakande gets a chance ahead of Whittingham

DMW Rawlins, HZ Finch, LWP Wells, S van Zyl, LJ Wright, BC Brown*†, CJ Jordan, D Wiese, JC Archer, DR Briggs, A Sakande

Nash not playing, Rawlins in. Sussex to bat. Sakande also plays.

Nash concussed by the sounds of it, always nasty.

Looks a nicely balanced squad. Always fear that top order's got a collapse in them though. Amazing to think Magoffin, Shahzad, Garton, Evans, Beer are on the sidelines (for various reasons). Beer must feel slightly peeved after his performance against South Africa A side.

Evans was on the commentary the other week, said he had pulled a hamstring and was hoping to be back soon. Either the injury has not healed or in his absence he has lost his place.

Saturday practice according to Sussex twitter:

"Chris Nash is out after suffering a concussion during practice on Saturday. We wish him a speedy recovery."

Give it a couple of games and I rather suspect that will not be the case.

A 19 year old and a 22 year old opening up. I thought Wells might have been put back up to open.

 

[clarkey]

All teams bar 1 chose to bat first, but wickets falling early doors.

Middlesex 2-2, Kent 6-2, Northants 18-1, Derby 1-1.

 

[clarkey]

Kent 6/3 now - 2,3 and 4 all gone for 0.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Durham 18/5

Durham 18/5

Stokes warming up nicely for the test series with a 0

 

[Postman Pat]

Rawlins gone - 20/1

 

[studio150]

23/2 off 14.4 slow going in superb conditions. Is it down to the pink ball

 

[clarkey]

Looks like an even contest between bat and ball in Division 1, but ball completely dominant in Div 2 so far.

(Apart from Ben Duckett who somehow has 74 off 54 balls).

66/3 Wells out for 35

Wright watchfully playing himself in, as per.

(off the mark with a six)
