If the rain breaks at Hove are short enough to allow a decent amount of play, it could be advantageous for Sussex because there's always a good chance of wickets going down when batsmen keep having to restart their innings.
Of course any lengthy delays will be good for Durham.

Warwicks 80/6 and well on course to lose tonight.

At least Warks have the good sense to end it quickly instead of a long lingering death. Bell's love of playing for Warwickshire is surely being tested at present. By the time he gets another chance to play for us we could be in Division 2.

After losing the afternoon session it stops raining, they come out, and then naturally take a break for tea

Yorkshire haven't won it since 2001.

How far back do we go to look for potential champions?

32 championships since 1867?

Think it's an early tea because of more rain. Would have been taken at 4.10, still foolish to have a scheduled break planned after less than an hours play following the previous delay.

84/7 then stopped for bad light. Could have been over now if the spinners had been allowed to bowl in the murk. It's ridiculous that they can't.

Middlesex declare with a lead of 193 over Lancs

Surrey are about to resume their chase of 267, 45/0

Surrey are about to resume their chase of 267, 45/0

Fans waited 6 hours for play, get 8 balls and 2 runs and they are off for bad light.

What a picture

[D/L]

Nice photo. All over bar the shouting now.

Sensational win by Yorkshire, just 13 minutes required to take the remaining 3 wickets.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sensational day for Yorkshire. Well done Jack Brooks.

James Taylor has 57* at the moment. Hope to see him bang a big one

A third unconverted fifty of his season. Got a lot of catching up to do to get past Ballance - he'll be hoping that if Stokes isn't fit, they go for a specialist batsman. And even then Morgan may already be promised a place.
