481 all out, a bit of a problem for Glamorgan being 358 runs behind...

Coles is no stranger to tons
I said three years ago he would play for England. I stand by that.
Note: I also said Jake Forster-Caskey would play for England. It ain’t over.
I'm sure they'll give it a good go

It's great to see Sussex going so well at the moment, but I'm not happy that Steve Smith is getting batting practice on English wickets before an Ashes series.

A genius idea. Imagine what Sussex could do with £70m.

Taking Hudson-Prentice apart at the mo, going for 10 an over
The sad truth is that is could entirely fund Sussex Cricket for many, many years... such is the discrepancy between the two sports.

Not sure he’s had as much as he would have hoped.
Sussex have nearly scored 500 on this wicket, it’s clearly flat
I don't disagree with this as such, but given his record in England I'm not sure it makes much difference.
India will probably have more to complain about if he scores runs in the WTC final.

Indeed. On a less serious note, Mr Boehly if you're reading this, James Coles has scored 138 points on his own today, in one match. And that was against a whole state, or county as we call it here, not just one city.

Shipping runs, our total has been caught & they still have 7 wickets in hand. If they post a 150 - 200 lead they will win, it's happened before, get them out cheap, post a decent score then it all goes tits up.
A 4th. wicket stand just 12 runs short of 300 is always going to cause a problem! The wicket seems to have quietened down since the first day, and when two quality batsmen have a good day .......... it is what it is.

Feels like a batty kind of day.
This will probably be a draw.
I don’t think this is another example of Sussex having a crap attack - our attack is a lot stronger than a year ago. And if even Robinson is struggling to take wickets (in his brief spell) then you can be pretty sure it’s challenging bowling conditions.
Also, credit to Glamorgan‘s batsmen.
It is disappointing that we’ve dropped a few and Carter been erratic behind the steps.
Overall, Sussex finally heading in the right direction imo.

Disgraceful lack of ambition and/or imagination by Glamorgan.
