Everyone more obsessed with the two associated football teams for the next two days. Same squad selected, we won the toss that Leicestershire wanted to win and batted and are now already down to our last specialised batsman, with three games coming thick and fast we look light without Wright and Jordan.

Sussex 139/4 (48.0 ov)

Sussex won the toss and elected to...

Unlucky to be without Wright and Jordan but the batting problems have still not been addressed. Lord knows why they were made favourites to win this division!

At least we can't get relegated this season.

7/1 for us to beat Leicestershire - could we do a Leicester and overcome such massive odds. Is Davies the new Ranneri

Nice day for it, wish I was down there

Got to bat out a day and a half to salvage a draw! Leicestershire have surprised me, thought they'd want to be scoring a lot quicker. If they keep up the rate, they'll be 350 ahead with 4 sessions to go.

One bonus point and possible points for a draw if we can hold on. Not very inspiring against the team who has finished last in the Championship for the last three years. Don't think Sussex will be going up this season!

Wright and Jordan to come. Should make a huge difference. But agree, not looking like bouncing back.

Only good news is Essex will lose Cook, so they get weaker (they're the strongest side in the division IMO).

Listened to the Mark Davis interview after the first day - I have seldom heard a more downbeat, flat and uninspirational interview - this man must have been hired on the cheap. On the basis of his "personality" as demonstrated in that interview were loose.
