Being Sussex, he’ll either get 195 or our Dads Army bowling attack will get him cheaply and have them 100 - 7 only for the last 3 wickets to put on 200

Well played so far, Sir

Sits back to watch the Sussex buffet bowling to come. On for a perfect game.

Essex 60 for 5

 

[Taybha]

Another ton to Ten on the cards here .

Well bowled flower .

Essex now 90 for 6

Time for a record breaking last wicket partnership.

Garton gets a pfeiffer

Essex 140 all out

Tough 20 odd overs for us now

 

[Badger]

I predict 41-5 at stumps.

 

[fly high]

That's one hell of a bowling display without Ollie, well done our boys.

 

[timbha]

I predict 41-5 at stumps.

46/1 and 100 lead. Finch on fire !

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

50 up for 1 wicket.

Harmer on now 4 overs left

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Nightmare Finch strangled last ball of the day

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Close - Sussex lead Essex by 111 runs with 8 wickets remaining

May not be enough overs (90) if we bat okay tomorrow to get a lead enough to declare then bowl them out.

Especially as he have no recognised spinner

I think the best chance of a win (and loss!) is to get bowled out for about another 60 or so before lunch.

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

Such a shame for Finch, especially after he scampered that leg bye off the fifth ball.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

This makes the Kent second team effort last week look like the 1930 Australians, Bradman, Woodfall, Ponsford and all. Plus Victor Trumper even though he was dead by then.

Just how bad is everyone this year?

George Garton is quite good if that helps at all.
