This Sussex innings is just like watching Durham last year.

Blast their way to 80-1 off the first 8 overs, then from no.3 downwards.....10 runs off 10 balls, 7 off 8, 1 off 4, 8 off 11, 11 off 13, suddenly a 150 score looks wildly optimistic

Now Durham would subside to 130 all out in the 18th over, whereas any team playing Durham would find a way to take 20 runs off the last 2 overs and make it to 160

I wonder what Sussex will do... they are down to their bowlers

Off for rain, I see

They'll have to hope that their innings isn't over, because DLS will probably set Surrey a revised target of something utterly stupid like 43 in 8 overs

Match abandoned. Typical that the weather during the lockdown was exemplary and now it's appalling.

High scoring tie between Middx and Kent today. 418 runs in 40 overs.

and not a Durham bowler in sight

Northants untroubled by Wessels for once.

I'll bet the Lancs Derby match is exciting the telly bods a darned sight more than the Durham slow death cricket

Prior to today's 69 against Durham, Arron Lilley's Career T20 average was 14. It is now 17.97. Not a bad day's work.

the clue is right there. It is surprising how many players produce their best ever figures against us. It's something we Durhamites comment on regularly.

we have a theory that Durham are the best team to play against when your contract is up for renewal. We make most players look like world beaters

Alex Davies is a very good T20 player isn't he?

Very graceful 31 ball 50 yesterday

Hamish has turned up

Seems he was the only one

Surprising he's come over.

maybe fancies some late season sunshine?

Tymal Mills is still playing. I thought he was bust.

And Babar Azam is playing for Somerset. 200+ for them.
