Another Sussex collapse. Riz and Carter gave the usual false hope and then it all fell apart.
214 behind on the first innings, waiting to see if we have to follow on.
Only good thing to say is the guy from BBC Derby commentating with Adrian Harms is quite easy to listen to in the background while working

Bit worrying that Haines has lost his form.
We are truly becoming a minor county.

I consider myself very fortunate to have lived through the early 2000s as a Sussex fan. We almost certainly won't see days like those again.
Talking of false hope...
Derbyshire 57/5 in the second innings. 4 wickets already for Brooks!

Derbyshire 127 - 7. Who would have predicted that. Why on earth did they not enforce the follow on? Still a big ask to expect anything other than a draw.
Have you seen Sussex bat?

Does seem odd. They could have already have won the game by now with the way we bat!

Under way at Eaton Road.
Sussex are chasing 342 to win. Have made a good start with no wickets down yet.

Might as well go for the win as Sussex won't be able to bat out two and bit sessions.
From £5 for U14 I think

You're correct thanks. Then my new complaint is why the ticketing website so unclear!

Looks like we've adopted the Bazzball approach - going for it.

Ali Orr (Ali Orr, Ali, Ali Orr) going well.
No idea what pitch is like as haven't watched yet today but this could be worth following. If you're close enough to the ground get down there and support the lads.
Draw looks odds on. Either win roughly equally likely?

Just watched a couple of overs. Looks like spinners are able to contain. Sussex unlikely to be too expansive when a solid draw would be a very acceptable result.
Hope I'm wrong and it does get interesting in a good way.
Free entry for all now rest of this afternoon.

Falling behind the run rate after a fast start. Can we see out the day?
