Broad bowled well, Rodgers played and missed a handful of times and that LBW shout to Warner was only frustrated by a thin edge. Does look good for Batting though.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Hoped we could have got at least one out this morning.


Not to be. Early yet to say if we'll have some hard work.

Bit of a strange way to get to 430 - England appeared at times to still be in ODI mode and rode their luck alongside some positive batting. Wood looked pretty secure and Ali might have got a ton if he'd been more circumspect.

Match nicely poised with both sides probably thinking they could do well in the next two sessions.

Wonder how long it will be until Ali comes on, or has Cook lost all confidence in him?

Think 400 vs. 500 is more realistic, this is a good batting wicket now
Anything can happen with a round ball.

Coz we're going up, and we'll win the cup, for Sussex by the Sea!

an earnt wicket of Warner to England. Mainly Anderson, but also Broad kept him nice and quiet.

Just what sort of medicine did the physio rush out onto the ground? Is he offering a massage?

If that had been Ben Stokes there'd now be a queue of female spectators waiting to "give him a massage". At least so I've been led to believe.
