***County Championship Division 2, Sussex v Gloucestershire at Hove, Jun 26-29, DAYNIGHT**

[timbha]

Listening to John lees earlier he had the Sussex and Surrey matches muddled, giving sussex's score with contributions from Surrey batsmen. He didn't sound very well.

Doesn't he get up about 4 o clock in the morning to do the sports reports on the local radio - could be a long day for him if the game goes on to about 10pm

Also the reporters have to now update lots of local radio accounts and the main BBC sports accounts - something he didn't have to worry about in the past

Wright goes

six down and heading into the night with a pink ball...

Why are none of these games on sky?

I guess the idea is to get people to actually go to them!

True - but it's a good chance to show county cricket in the evening

One more over until they can take another new ball (having already being given one after 54 overs)

Sussex 333/6 (79.0 ov)

Splendid innings by that man

Presume they didn't replace the ball with a new one at 54 overs? Wouldn't it be a patched up one used for a 50-over game or similar?

I jest but assume they don't have many knackered pink balls - Wright destroyed it

New New ball strikes and Weise goes

 

[BensGrandad]

Can we get to 400?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Archer out for nought

 

[Badger]

Trying our best not to make 350.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Can we get to 400?

Only Jordan, Briggs and Sakande left to do it

New Ball mayhem! Surely Jordan has licence to smash Glarster and gain at least one more bonus point.

Wouldn't be too tragic if it Sussex then collapsed and we had a pop at them for an hour or so?

Not looking likely now unless the tail wags. When is the next bonus point due as I am not au fait with the scoring system

Nine down - lets have a bowl - new pink ball under the lights with some dew on the surface - could be tough few overs for their openers

400 as long it is before the 110th over - not going to happen but Glarster probably not looking forward to playing in these conditions for the next hour.
