Would be brilliant to see him get his double ton.

Fool

Middlesex need 178 to win, with 20 overs to play - 8.90 runs per over

454 all out.

Middlesex need 178 to win, with 20 overs to play - 8.90 runs per over

That's a stiff 20/20 score.

 

[Mackenzie]

Grab a couple of wickets early, and they might panic.

Its a funny old game/

50-3 Berg goes Liddles 2nd - an inspired selection?

And a draw......

Match drawn.

 

[Titanic]

50/3 off 8 overs.

But Middlesex have given up the chase. Astonishing.

Match drawn.

Get in there

 

[Gwylan]

That's a terrific effort by Sussex - to be following on nearly 280 behind and getting a draw is superb stuff.

Think Middlesex could have given it another couple of overs though

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Well done Luke Wright. We stay top of the table and unbeaten.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Rogers proves himself to be a worse captain than Joyce. An unbelievable decision to give up.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Who makes the decision to call it a day?

Do both captains have to agree?

 

[Pevenseagull]

quitters

I'd have made them carry on

 

[portslade seagull]

Why give up with so many wickets in hand
