[Yes Chef]

Currently on the rattler from Chichester, armed with a couple of growlers of Goldmark beer, been looking forward to it for weeks

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Durham elected to bowl, so no toss and we are in for bat

Answer my own question - we have lost Jordan to the Lions *that's England B isn't it

[Sussexscots]

England Lions is supposed to be to provide promising young cricketers the opportunity to play International Cricket.

So it's utterly ridiculous that Sussex lose Jordan, a key player and a 29 year old who had represented England at all levels for a pivotal match to play India's second xi..

Boils my piss.

8 for 0 in the third

That IS doing it the 'proper' way round isn't it. Runs first? Have to ask obviously, it being Sussex, but surely not even Sussex could lose 8 wickets in just over two overs.

Quite. If we lose anyone, it should be Garton, don't see what England learn from playing CJ

WICKET: Matt Salisbury finds Luke Wells' outside edge from a forward defence to give Durham an early breakthrough.

9-1 off 3.4 (Salt 1*) #gosbts

Wells goes in the sixth over, caught in the slips

9 for 1

If any side could, I would fancy us at the moment

50 for 1

 

[Gwylan]

114-1

50s for Haines and Salt

I'd like to have seen Haines bat: he's really highly rated by the county - they think he's going to be a quality player. I'll see if I can get out there on Friday

 

[CHAPPERS]

Salt might well go on to be more than decent too, if he can get a good run the next couple of years.

Lovely partnership this between two recent Sussex Academy products.

Time was when being inserted by Durham would have meant something like 78-5 at lunch...

Good work from the club and Gillespie to back local talent.

What ARE you taking about? Durham are clearly still jet-lagged from their long flight but a bit of caffeine over lunch and they'll run through us by tea.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Ton up for Salty.

Magic moment. First of many hopefully.
