Pity Durham couldn't get him to replace Stoneman.

Seems Sussex are staging something of a comeback courtesy of Chris Nash

Sussex struggling at 81/6 this morning against Kent.

Worcs not faring much better...59/5 v Essex.

Rob Keogh, with a List A career bowling average of 487, has just taken 9/52. Get ready pitch inspectors...

Duckett can bat on it. But he's not facing Keogh.

Westley had certainly got a sense of timing of nothing else, 175 not out with the England skipper at the other end for much of it.

Just the 185 for Ben Duckett in over a session and a half

The guy is a freak and probably making a bigger impact than Joe Root has done in his early days at Yorkshire.

Graeme Welch has been appointed assistant coach at Leicester.

Leicester heading for an innings defeat.

Doesnt really matter, I think Kent are extremely unlikely to be caught

Having said that, looking at it, Northants are currently ahead with more than half an innings to go against Kent. Assuming they put a lead of at least 100-150 on the board, they are under pressure to get anything out of that game if the next two days are good weather. Their only real possibility at the moment is bat well second dig, or they claim 2 BPs as the maximum.

Sussex have basically won their game, so they will get 16 points. Leaving a 20 point gap with a game in hand (more realistically 22 when Kent get 10 wickets).

Sussex play Worcs and Glocs.....
Kent play Essex who are top.....

Essex beat Kent and Sussex win one game and draw, we could steal it from them.

But Sussex's batting line up is as dependable as a condom made of hand towel paper..

Duckett making another case for a winter touring spot.

200 out of 330 odd is ridiculous.
