Looks very grim for Hants.

I'm half hoping Sussex get to 250 and we don't so Hants fans can be put out their misery!

Sussex just miss out on second batting point so things not quite decided yet.

sussex miss the bonus point by 2 runs, Hampshire fighting it out

The scoreboard has frozen at Trent Bridge!

Am I the only one thinking Hampshire are not out of this?

Problem with Sussex starting off in one day is mode is the game has advanced too quickly and batting at Headingley becomes easier in the 2nd innings, giving Yorkshire a chance to set a large total and still have enough time to bowl Sussex all out.

Notts need to win to finish 2nd and I can't see them settling for a draw. Hampshire falling short of Notts total is not disastrous if they can take a few wickets before stumps today.

Indeed. A Notts collapse second dig and a Yorkshire challenging lead, thats all it takes.

Notts are without their top two batters, so the first is likely.

Yorks batting line up has endless quality....

Sussex have collapsed a few times with the bat this year, and top order made very little this match.

All there things are pretty possible.

Essex v Lancs might have been all about Anderson v Cook but it's former England player Bopara who could steal the headlines.

I'm a tadge more hopeful after we bettered Sussex' batting points and now the ninth wicket has put on 70 runs, but Sussex are still heavy favourites to survive the drop.

Scrub that. Looks a lot different at present.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hants and Sussex about level pegging?
