County Championship 2026

[andy]

50 for leaning, surprised porter isn't opening up along with cook

[andy]

Annoying work from the tail here from Sussex, karvelas 23 not out from 29 balls...Sussex have got up to 240-8

[andy]

Leaning falls but Sussex have got to 250 and got the batting point...numbers 10 and 11 in bring critchely on with variations the tail won't pick him

[andy]

Karvelas skies one up in the air and Elgar drops a dolly!

[andy]

2 balls later crocombe dropped at slip FFS!!!!

[andy]

275 all out! Time for a cheeky red onion and red Leicester cheese baguette during mid innings break!!

Dan Hughes off and been substituted

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sam Cook strikes first ball of day 2 trapping Goodman lbw

Read he may play in the last Test if England rest the pace bowlers due to play in the ODIs. So, everyone but Robinson.

He's bowled beautifully again here so he's in good form if he does get the nod

Surrey 22-3 v Yorks.

[andy]

Skittled for 83!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hard luck Surrey!

Fisher gets 2 in 2 in reply though.

Something amiss with the Oval pitch.

[andy]

Essex 144-3 Sussex used a lot of bowlers!

[Durhamfootman]

Essex go from 171-3 to 177 all out in 4 overs, inc a hat trick for Crocombe

blimey.... Durham-esque!

[andy]

We got 4 Sussex wickets before the close though, what on earth is going on at the oval?!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Surrey/Yorks is interestingly poised. Though Yorks have a habit of fluffing close finishes.
