County Championship 2026

[Durhamfootman]

Durham are in Bristol. This is a game Durham have to win. No excuses

[Durhamfootman]

Another relegation dogfight for Yorkshire today, as they play Hants.

with no Young Jonny Ouch, of course

[The Professor]

Lot for the bowlers out there today

[andy]

Bad start 30-2

[Arthur Crabtree]

Jonny Blameless missing for Yorks.

Sussex got Warwickshire in all sorts of trouble.... go on boys!

Pitch looks rough though. Looks like an August pitch from the Mushie days, abrasive and dry...spin on both ends before lunch on day 1

[The Professor]

Notts having a shocker

[sussexpob]

Duckett lasted 27 balls

[sussexpob]

FHP gets Yates after a dogged fightback. Yates has a poor record in CC, but he always seems to bat well against us.

As does Barnard in next.

[sussexpob]

Robinson gets Beau Webster finally, and unless you are an overweight idiotic blockhead, its a dismissal that shows a level of quality that makes the difference between the good pros and the great ones... almost like there is a reason Robinson has the best test bowling average in 7 decades of English test cricket.

Bit of nip off the deck, Robinson gives Webster a couple of overs of induckers, and then after dragging him back and across to leg, fires in the away nippers....

All the pace in the world is no substitute for intelligence. Key wants to "buy wicket", why can't we engineer them with good play?

Follows the same to Smith and is lucky. Big injagger, Smith nearly bowled, big away jagger, outside edge falls just short.

Two balls later Price gets Barnard....

Warwickshire crumbling here. 115/6

[andy]

Hopefully Robinson having the captaincy night show the selectors that they are missing something especially if he can get Sussex going in the right direction because he is too good not to be in the England reckoning

[sussexpob]

Zak Crawley wont like Ben McKinney thrashing the ball around. Durham 250/0!!! Northants also 200 plus/0....

Notts recovering with a good partnership. Essex currently in big trouble

[The Professor]

You feel that Glam don't (yet) have the nous to have kept the pressure up there.

[sussexpob]

Woakes bringing Warwickshire out of the **** here.

Coles dropped him now

[Durhamfootman]

FHP gets Yates after a dogged fightback. Yates has a poor record in CC, but he always seems to bat well against us.

Yates always bowls well against us, albeit with a k ball
