Don't think so Loco.

The Radio London bloke thinks we are still winning. Bowl them out for around 270 this morning (new ball due) and then knock off the runs...

Hope he's right.

Hopefully under sunny skies the pitch will improve day on day

Game on now.
Hopefully Sussex can chase down a target under 240.
Something tells me...its going to be a rollercoaster of day today...!!

Can't understand anyone making Sussex favourites. This is going to be a really tough amount to chase in a fourth innings no matter what they finish on now.

 

[Albion Robster]

8 down.

This + the fact that Middlesex's bowlers know how to work with the slope and yesterday maintained a better line and length than the Sussex bowlers + the fact that our batting can be decidedly fragile

Harris lbw b Archer 26

226/8

Only a third day pitch at Lords so should still play well. As for the Middlesex bowlers using the slope ….. if they were that good at home surely they would not still be stuck in Division 2 ? I think the game could go either way, a good start by Sussex would help but we are famous for collapso's so I won't count my chickens.

232 ao

231 to win...

 

[Gazwag]

Hoorah, Michelle for Jeffrey 231 to win

I predict a 87 run lose

 

[Surf's Up]

231 to win and a day and two thirds to get the runs , what could possibly go wrong Bizarrely, and despite everything Ive said so far, I think Sussex could do this

well done the bowlers, now it`s time for the batsmen to step up to the plate.

All good points. It's going to be an exciting end to the match now whatever. Great effort from the bowlers this morning.

Salt sprinkled for lunch.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Both teams a shade odds on to win.

Nothing in this.

Enjoying the commentary while trying to work at home...or at least was.

Couple of quick wickets for Middlesex. Luke Wright gone for a golden duck, Sussex 59-4, still 172 to win
