[Beach Hut]

Pakistan win toss and elect to bat.

Stokes absent and Archer misses out

Was hoping that Robinson was going to play. Oh well.

Does that allow them both to play for Sussex?

Unless they've been released from the squad, no. They have to stay in the bubble

Given the weather forecast for the next few days this looks like a nailed on draw!

Pakistan 41-1

Fascinating documentary on the great Imran Khan during the luncheon interval.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Two shocking drops in the slips by Burns and Sibley. Heartbreaking for the bowlers.

102/3 and another 117/4

Rain delay

12.00pm: An official update states play will begin at 12:30. Lunch will be taken at 13:30. Because after a morning of sitting around, what everyone really needs is another 40 minute lunch break. Especially when the weather's set to turn again in the early evening.

Cricket.

Cricket.

I mean honestly, FFS, after an hour’s play they need. 40min lunch. It’s breathtaking how cricket cannot evolve its regulations. Play for an hour and 20mins, and just take a 20min break. It’s not rocket science is it.

 

[The Wizard]

Absolutely rubbish bowling this morning by England.

But, but... WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE TEA LADY! WHEN WILL SHE KNOW WHEN TO PUT THE URN ON?!?!

Absolutely rubbish bowling this morning by England.

At least after a tiring back breaking hour’s play, they’ve 40mins to put their feet up.

Sussex have one of weakest sides ever and our 2 best players are serving drinks at the test match. How do you think PL and ST holders would react if FA said international players could not play for clubs. I am a cricket lover but no wonder people are losing interest when cant see best players.

To be fair, if you're going to be served drinks on a warm summer's day then Robinsons or Archers are two decent options.

Especially if you like peach.
