Durham won the toss and elected to bowl
Haines has had a pretty forgettable season hasn't he.

Looked a poor decision against Alsop - surely hit him outside off. Umpire giving in to bowler sulking about previous not out decision, which was correct as ball was missing.
Certainly was. Very predictable struggle for Sussex today sadly.A long way outside the line
23 wickets have so far fallen on the first day at Chelmsford. Lans currently 2-3 in their 2nd innings.
4/5!
Edit - now 7/6!
I'd just like to take this moment to give a big slow handclap to the cricket authorities in England, for their fantastic work in reducing the the County Championship to an utter joke, culminating in late September slapstick.
Surrey seemingly being gifted another title, as chasers Lancashire (103a/o and 73a/o) and Hampshire (57a/o) are skittled in the autumnal conditions.
Shane Snater took 6/10 in that Lancashire second innings. Ridiculous.
Incredibly, one George Balderson hat-trick later, and Lancashire might actually WIN that game. Essex 46/5, needing another 52...
That's like one of those matches at the turn of the last century where sides are skittled out for 20 and 30 odd.
When I was watching the Lancashire 50-over game at Hove, I sat behind a Lanky supporter who sighed audibly when Balderson came onto bowl. He told me that Balderson was rubbish - only to see him promptly dismiss Pujara and Haines. Seems like the rubbish bowler has struck again
