I wonder if any statto has compared the scores from partnerships in the first half of the innings with those in the second half, this season. It wouldn't shock me if the tailenders had put on more runs

Yes, I'd already corrected that. I thought he'd played one match for Warks but was mistaken

These two have now put on 74, with Sakande on 5. Love this partnership. I was once in a stand of 112 and contributed 15 of them - that's the way to play

These two need to bat for about 20 to 30 minutes more. Worcs must still be favourites for this but a few decent overs after lunch could make a draw look likely. I can't see Sussex getting anywhere near winning this though, there's no indication that the pitch is cracking up

Not taken a wicket and scored 4 in the first innings

This pair need to bat through to lunch to give us a chance of saving this game

We won't lose him AND Archer. Anderson, Broad and Curran are all in position with Wood and Archer in the wings. The only way that he'd lose Jofra and Ollie is if there were a glut of injuries. And even then, Overton and Porter may be ahead of Robinson in the pecking order. Next season...

Er ... maybe I was a bit optimistic there

I don't think even Sussex could lose by an innings in this game. But we're going to struggle to get 200

11-1 Here's Finch's chance to make me eat my words

Rawlins got a pair in his last game but, before that, he scored two half-centuries and two forties in seven innings - that's scarcely dismal. Haines hasn't been great but did score a century a month ago

... and get rid of batters too.

I know that it's a struggle for runs in this wicket but the point is that he's played every game - on some very flat wickets - and has an average of under 20 (and not hit a single 50 yet). It would be different if he was on a bad run but he's been in the side for some years now and has an...

Finch fails again - I'd love to know what clout he has to keep getting picked

Should have played and put them in - there'd be plenty of ducks :)
