***County Championship Division Two,Sussex Vs Worcester at Hove, June 2nd - 5th***

[Papa Lazarou]

SHEETING down here, now (70 miles West of Eaton Road)

Although the weather is mainly moving from the SW (or WSW to be more precise) there is a heavy chunk of precipitation, that, if it doesn't decay will hit the Sussex coast in a couple of hours.. so we need to get a wriggle on. Plus in a mild / moist SW there's the chance of drizzle ahead of the more organised rain.

It does if you can't take the catches

The latest info I've seen on the weather is rain this evening. No doubt Papa Lazarou is better informed.

So important to get an early wicket and break the partnership. Hopefully we can wrap it up quickly to avoid having to bat again, and more importantly before the rain arrives.

We need all the wickets to fall in the next hour. Let's hold onto those catches.

This is a bit like being 7 points clear with 3 to play. However, I think we can wrap this one up unless the weather does.

Van Zyl is proving to be a very good acquisition. Classy bat and handy part time seam.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Shropshire lad Ed Barnard gone, now 2 more Shrops lads to go in Joe leach and Jack Shantry.
Feel like I've got split loyalties with this - nah, I'm Sussex born and bred ....

Wicket with the final(?) delivery with the old ball.

Have they taken the new one?

Don't really follow Worcester - what is their tail like?

While there is still some sunshine about there are also lots of clouds scudding over Sullington, would want to get this over ASAP if its the same situation at Hove.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Bright sunshine here in Cowfold, what's the problem?

They will be eyeing up a cheeky mid-afternoon declaration.
