County Championship 2026

the only surprise to any of the 'curse of the old boys' syndrome was Jennings not scoring a double ton

Lees making a stupid call after winning the toss is very much par for the course

hey... he might come out tomorrow and smack Santiago all over the park, en route to a stunning victory

[Durhamfootman]

At least Jennings is having a poor game.

he is in my fantasy team, after all, so if one was going to fail.................

[Arthur Crabtree]

Parkinson is from Bolton. Maybe that will help.

Yorkshire v Sussex has turned into November 1916 on the Somme for both bowling attacks. Something was there for a session or two on Day 1, but ever since its been a road. No complains btw, Sussex wouldn't have made 300 if the ball continued to move on the first afternoon.

Unless something spectacular happens, the Captains will be shaking hands at the first opportunity tomorrow

Parkinson is from Bolton. Maybe that will help.

he should have been bowling on day 4, not batting, but our captain is an idiot (probably)

[Arthur Crabtree]

Notts v Warks looks like the best poised, but Durham v Lancs could have a late twist...

Things are happening at the oval, Jordan clark very nearly had Elgar out last over and Matt fisher has now had tom Westley dropped twice....pitch slowly starting to misbehave but think it's slightly too late.....scores now level Essex only one wicket down

[andy]

Breaking news from Surrey and is a shame Cameron steel has been forced to retire due to injury aged 30...an ankle problem that hasn't got better....real shame useful county cricketer

[andy]

50 for skipper tom Westley

[sussexpob]

Jack Carson coming in at 4, Bess and Root on at opposite ends.

Come on lads, shake hands and go get a twilight round in, this is utterly pointless continuing

[andy]

Same at the oval...can't shake hands till 4:50pm I believe which is staggering....50 for Elgar

[andy]

100 for Tom Westley! he has firmly put the foot down and the lead out of nowhere is now up to 115

Sssx declare now and the points are up for grabs.

[andy]

Tom Westley has his foot firmly on the floor against all bowlers I wonder if maybe just maybe he's pondering a declaration today....might be wishful thinking but out of nowhere the acceleration has arrived and it's foot to the floor stuff from him

[andy]

And as I say that Surrey drop Elgar....and it's the 3rd catch I've counted they've put down today...
