Is Burgess a permanent signing or a loanee? Looks from Crincinfo that he played for Surrey at youth level for many years but then went to Leicester, which couldn't have a nice experience...

Keep going until tea I guess, if we can. No rush. Bowlers should tire without Onions.

Can we take 10 wickets on this flat track - or can Durham hang on for the draw?

They've been a long time in the field so should be nicely baked. Now we're 8 down I would think these two will have a go after lunch.

Lead 299 I would go with another 50 if scored quickly before the declaration

Is Archer eligible for England? What a find.

Born in Barbados but with an English dad so I assume so.

Great innings from Sussex, batting Durham out the game. Will be tough for them especially if they are also a man down.

50 up for Jofra.

Edit: I wasn't first to that breaking news, was I.

His bowling could get him close to the team in a couple of years if he goes on. It would be good to see him in Div 1 to test him properly with the bat.

650-9 and still going.

Durham already taking far too long between overs

But great entertaining bating from Archer

If they can get going this squad should go close. The runs are there and the bowling attack is good this year.

Currently bowling for the 2nds are Shahzad, Magoffin, Garton and Rawlins.

Not according to Crincinfo (at least they have him down as a West Indian & the photo of him shows a West Indies Shirt - didn't know that his Dad was from England). Now he's his fifty I wonder if they will let him try and beat his best First Class (he's only nine runs off it)?

657-9 - Almost unbelievable.

If he gets a little bit quicker (as he and the coaches have been threatening) it'll be sooner rather than later.

The batting is the icing on the cake really, it's not like England currently lack for bowlers that bat.
