Ah ha i see my pal is there complaining he has no internet access to NSC

 

[KingKev]

Any news on Gnasher's health / ability to resume his innings?

 

[Titanic]

100 partnership for Luke Wright 67* and Ben Brown 28*, comes up with a SIX from Look Right

Sussex 199-3 (55.5 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 202-3 (56 overs) and a batting point in the bag

 

[Simster]

I'm trying to work out exactly how our cricketflids are going royally shag this position up.

My guess is - Sussex, not used to being in the position of a first innings lead - will bat 2 sessions too many (and too slowly) and watch any rain forecasted duly arrive and wash out the chance of a result.

 

[Titanic]

Sussex lead Worcs by 1 run (211-3), with 7 wickets in hand, and 25.3 overs remaining on Day Two.

Amazing scenes

 

[Uncle Buck]

Time to curse this, but bonus points are key from here.

With Somerset losing, somehow Sussex are currently in control of their own destiny, for the moment.

Not sure how with Robinson in charge, but still.

 

[Titanic]

Sounds like the weather is closing in at New Road...

 

[Titanic]

...and they are off

Sussex 224-3 (60.3 overs), Wright 80* Brown 36*, with 23.3 overs remaining in the day.

Bugga - could have turned the screw tonight and set up a really strong position. No chance of them getting back on? We need to win this game and collect as many BPs as possible.

BBC weather has no rain this afternoon, tomorrow or Friday in Worcester... so... probably no chance

Too early to start dreaming about the draw.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Realistically, the draw is our only hope.

Play due to restart at 17.45

 

[Titanic]

with 7.3 overs remaining...

 

[Titanic]

Hampshire have got Durham 112-5, leading by just 74... a win for Hants would really put the pressure on Worcs and Sussex.

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 250-3 (65.2 overs), another precious batting point is secured.

 

[Titanic]

Bad light ends play for day 2.

Sussex 251-3 (66 overs)

Luke Wright 98* Ben Brown 45*

Sussex lead by 41 runs with 7 wickets in hand.

Hampshire have got Durham 112-5, leading by just 74... a win for Hants would really put the pressure on Worcs and Sussex.

But Somerset's likely 2 points from their match against Yorkshire brings them right back into the relegation mix.
