County Championship 2024

[Arthur Crabtree]

Surrey should win and Sussex have a sniff. N'hants really down to the weather, but not called off.

[Durhamfootman]

Sussex need 144, which ought to be straightforward as long as the weather holds

Surrey need one wicket.... Cam Steel again.... I wonder what they've been feeding him over the winter?

[sussexpob]

No rain forecast, but its dark conditions. It feels almost inevitable that this will be a draw

[Durhamfootman]

Sussex have lost 3 wickets to Zafar already. Still needing 79

they should do it though. Sussex bat pretty deep I think

[Durhamfootman]

and they lose another before tea. Sussex 70-4 needing another 74

Chet still there

[Durhamfootman]

Sussex are cruising now. No further alarms... 40 runs to get

[Durhamfootman]

they were in danger of getting carried away a bit, but the calm old heads of Pujara and Simpson have settled all the nerves down

[Durhamfootman]

oh, here we go.... 2 quick wickets and Sussex are 6 down with 29 still to get

Zafar has 5 fer

[sussexpob]

Nearly had a disasterous run out then too...

[sussexpob]

Bizarre tactics from Gloucestershire. Got no close fielders in for catchers in with 4 wickets needed and hardly any runs to defend

[sussexpob]

A WIN! FINALLY

[Arthur Crabtree]

And top of the table!

[Durhamfootman]

there you go. No problem in the end

Last win was against us in the opening round last year, so doubtless it'll feel like a moment

[Durhamfootman]

Ha.....

nothing says 4th week of the cricket season more than a good old hailstorm

[Arthur Crabtree]

Root having a decent runout for Yorks.

So how about a ton?

No sign of Johnny Blameless though.

IPL, maybe?

But doesn't show on the BBC averages.

Unlike Tristan Stubbs, who I'm now going to have to look up.
