Hants and Sussex about level pegging?

In terms of their respective games quite possibly, in terms of relegation likelihood Hants still way ahead.

Set up for a great finale.

But the ECB want to ruin all that in the future.

Suppose so in terms of only one scenario keeps Hants from going down, but any result is (arguably) equally possible in either game. In fact, given Yorks are the strongest side in the division, that balances things a little in Hants favour.

I think I could cope with most scenarios but if we do somehow snatch an improbable win and Sussex hang on for draw I will be bemoaning the fact we didn't just play out a easy draw in the penultimate game!

That'll do. Hants 326 ao. Just need a Notts collapse now.

Survival is still possible.

Essentially two one innings games at Headingley and Trent Bridge. Think the weather is set fair for both games to provide results either way.

Alex Hales replacement has made a massive 1 and 2...... lets hope James Taylors replacement can make more than his amazing FC best of 37

Hatch gets Lyth.... needed that wicket, a prompt mid order collapse would be nice here

Players off for rain in Yorkshire. I wouldnt complain if that does stop for the next two days

[Arthur Crabtree]

A Bairstow ton doesn't feel as inevitable as it did earlier in the season.

I'd take a 350 lead.

Bat as long as you want, AC. Preferrably all tomorrow as well....

Weather forecast shows light rain till 2-3 o clock.....

Getting jittery?!

I'm sure Notts will be amenable to a 300 run chase off 96 overs.

7/77 for Anderson.

If both matches reach conclusion, I have Hants as favourites.
