207ao. Well done boys, your 50 over crash bang wallop run rate has guaranteed you all a wonderful days golf tomorrow. In all seriousness this match underlined what we saw in the previous match: 1. We're extremely light on batting. 2. Some of our batsmen can only play in one-day mode...

One hundred and eigh-ty! a.o.

First run-a-ball Machan gone, now run-a-ball Cachopa. Can we not knock it? If it carries on like this Robinson can do one and we'll have Moores back. He loves a block.

94/3, Cachopeless in. Game over.

Why are we scoring at over 4 an over when - in theory - we still have a day and a half left?

Now I don't know whether the hare and the tortoise ever played cricket together but Machan and Yardy might just be the closest we'll get.

Machan 20 off 18 balls. Has he forgotten the club motto - "Intercluderent / oppilare aut mori"??

Norman "Mandy" Mitchell-Innes The Honourable Frederick Somerset Gough-Calthorpe Hugh Bromley-Davenport George Simpson-Hayward.

This motto thing is tricky. I appreciate your benign pedantry.

A digression - does anyone know whether the Sussex CCC has a motto? If not I propose "Intercluderent aut mori" which, according to Google Translate, means "Block or Die".

He certainly ticks all the boxes - private school, double-barrelled name, plays at Lords, on first name terms with Straussy.

Middlesex had the game won when they reached 150 in their second innings. The next 50 runs will prove to be a liberal covering of icing and the final 9 runs the cherry on top. Sussex will be FINNished by half five tonight.

A little hope is a dangerous thing.

This lad batting for them E.X.Tras - he's bagged 74 runs already in this match. I hope the new England management check him out as a possible opening partner for Cook.

Robinson - the Ashton Agar of Sussex.

Settle in, this is going to be a huge partnership.
