Sussex scored 123 in the afternoon session for the loss of just 2 wickets
Well done to Sussex boys Nash, Wells, Hatchett, Machan, Finch and Brown in this 2nd innings

Are Specsavers paying for advertising on here or does 8ace work for them?

"Great game of cricket"

He's going to love the twittering about the equation. Hope we don't lose another quick one.

 

[Luke93]

Get them in with 20 overs left chasing 180

Magoffin DROPPED at fine leg... four runs... ooooh!

371-8, 158 lead... 30 overs remain... RR5.85

 

[Pavilionaire]

I fancy we need to bat for another half an hour. Eight overs - maybe another 25 runs - would leave them needing 180 off 20-odd overs.

 

[Titanic]

Flies through 2nd slip... Magoffin leading a charmed life!

Last ball SMASHED through the covers for FOUR

388-8, lead 175... 27 overs remaining... RR climbs to 7.29

 

[Titanic]

Another great over for Sussex... two boundary fours from Ollie Robinson... 396-8, lead 183, 26 overs remaining, RR7.96

Magoffin gone for 16... caught driving at Henry

Sussex 396-9... surely too little too late for Worcs??

#SAFE?

Sussex 400-9 (135.3 overs)

Davo "couldn't be more proud of them"

 

[Eeyore]

They can't catch us now. A large '20 over' score against a free set field and less restricted bowling. Hand shake soon if the wicket doesn't fall in the next four overs.

Although I hope they have a go.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Magoffin out, then first ball to Whittingham goes for four to bring the 400 up. You've got to love his spunk!

 

[BensGrandad]

10 more runs and they will call it a draw. Touch and go at the moment as to whether they will go for it and see how many wickets they lose.

 

[Pavilionaire]

This is the cricket equivalent of "TWO-NIL AND YOU F*CKED IT UP!"

Sussex 405-9 (137 overs)

193 from 22 overs at RR8.77

They probably need your support now, more than ever. Its rebuilding time, and I always thought we would need to adjust to this division. We have some quality youth coming through much more than other counties and it must be worth your support of the club through a membership just to watch who can make it.

The weather and early start has not helped, nor will the 20 20 interruption. Wright and Jordan big misses and the young bowlers have been thrown in.

Long way to go in the season yet only 4 games into a 16 game season, we often get going in the second half after the break. But a draw today would go a long way to setting up a launching pad and some momentum.

Marvellous optimism!

Sussex 409-9 (138 overs)

Declare and put them in!
