Wonder if it'll be a straightforward win before tea or if there will be the usual infuriating partnerships down the order.

[Durhamfootman]

well, we have the thick end of 300 runs and the thick end of 60 overs to play with, so I'd imagine there will be a scare or two on the way.

a 200 run 8th wicket partnership in 40 or 50 overs will have us sweating

have me sweating at any rate

[Durhamfootman]

Carse is on

Robinson has 42, so he'll be thinking about his hundred in the next 5 Carse overs

[Durhamfootman]

Carse starts with 6 no balls

be positive........ maybe they'll throw their wickets away at him

[Durhamfootman]

184-7

3 overs away from the new ball

[Durhamfootman]

looks like Carse has been removed from the attack.

more no balls, so these must be on height

Lees has had to finish off an over and now Clark is bowling the penultimate over before the new ball becomes due.

Sussex probably were unhappy Carse got removed from the attack.

[captaincolly]

Robinson finally out. Surely they'll get the last two quickly- or is that tempting fate?!

[Durhamfootman]

caught Burnham

again!



202-8

9 down. No doubt they'll wrap this up with no problem.

It's just as I expected! 7 wickets for Raine.

Very encouraging,only downside is that Carse appears to be injured. Incredible performance by Raine on a pitch that was described as benign. Bring on the Lancys- Onions going home in tears.

Apparently Carse was banished from the attack by the umpires after being given a final warning for running on the pitch.
