It’s always a results pitch if Northants are playing [emoji51] - I’ve watched them a fair bit lately. Sussex will win from here I’m sure.

Doing my best, you can either have not very medium pace dibbly dobblers or non spinning off spin...

Time for a bounce, 308-8, need one more wicket as one of the Northants mob has retired hurt.
Final wicket partnership now up to 46 runs, E.X.Tras doing well in the last two overs, maybe we should sign him?

No, they've replaced the injured batsman so we do need to take all 10
It's been an option for quite some time. I think the first player to be replaced in a game (in England at least) was Kevin Innes when James Kirtley replaced him, on return from England duty.
Since then, the idea of replacement has expanded. In the current case, it's because both Wakely and Wood have suffered concussion, so they replacements (like in rugby) - neither Cobb nor Hutton is allowed to bowl however.

That won't make much difference with our Batsmen...

Salty swatting away and now 67*
Sussex lead by 146.
No idea how pitch is changing. Presumably will be a decent fourth day if we are 300+ ahead but could ultimately be a tame looking draw on the raw totals - hope not.

Brilliant 100 from Phil Salt.
Always going to live by the sword but great when it comes off.

I see Luke Wells has hit a SIX, shirley against the rules - points deduction coming?

Good knock that, moved the game along nicely.
Wells gone ( a little while back, for 36).
Sussex 200/3, lead of 254

211-4, Were draw.
Maybe a difference in that one was injured IN play, and the other off-field?
Or maybe Cobb isn't forbidden, but just doesn't bowl??
The BBC site said that Cobb was forbidden.
I wondered whether where they got their injuries was significant but thought those injured on the field were less likely to be allowed to bowl

Sussex 346 ahead is that enough to declare and have a day to bowl them out or do we need to stay in a little longer to make sure that they cannot win.

I think (not totally sure though) it’s based on the player they’re replacing. Wakely doesn’t (or rarely) bowls meaning his replacement can’t bowl. I believe it’s to stop a team replacing a bowler who’s just taken 5fer with a batsman in the second innings. Wood bowls and bats and therefore his replacement can do both.

Good question. Normal practice is to make the game completely safe so I'd expect us to bat for at least another 10 or 12 overs in the morning...

That is correct.
Interesting to see how many BB thinks we need tomorrow, while still leaving time to bowl them out. I would think a quick 50 runs in as few overs as possible. Weise could be just the man for that...
