Apart from Bancroft getting out early early it's going surprisingly well. 50 for Lees and a lead of 250 at lunch.

I was expecting a second innings collapse, but instead........ GULP......... we are getting ourselves into a very strong position
amazing what can happen if you score enough runs in the first innings

Definitely. Any side that has a 282 run partnership and still doesn't make 400 is not to be trusted! And there were more than 50 extras in our first innings!

Something must be wrong- a lead of over 300 and still got 9 wickets in hand.
Surely even we couldn't lose from this position? It'd take either a collapse that's surely beyond us, a very generous declaration or a sensational Sussex second innings.

I hope we've got Eckersley tied up on a longer term deal

Declared with a lead of 436. I think I'd have added a few more but if a team gets 400 plus in the second innings they deserve to win.
126 overs left in the game.

Yes. Wells's average against us will be down to about 100 after two failures!
