250 lead, now in complete control. Bat them in to submission boys! Hopefully a lead of 388 puts the game out of reach. I expect we’ll bat on tomorrow but there’s likely to be rain about for the next two days so we shouldn’t overdo it. We have a slightly stronger bowling attack this game and crucially the groundsmen have provided a pitch that might provide a little more assistance to the bowlers. Dare we dream? |

Finally we produce a pitch which helps the bowlers. I was on the fence about Unadkat after his first game but he has come back well in this one. Pile on the runs this morning then give ourselves 5 sessions to bowl them out, happy days!
There’s a bit of weather around today but shouldn’t be enough to wash out the whole day.

Your live stream is great. Starts with Adrian saying 1 2 3 4 over and over.
Can hear him sighing and saying a few choice words! Then the commentary starts and in the background you can hear some bird talking about her daughter and then you get Private Dancer by the late great
Tina Turner!! Great stuff.

Well up to our standard of play for much of this season :-) |

One can only presume that as Sussex confidence is at rock bottom, a declaration won't occur at lunch. I am sure most teams would have declared several hours ago, perhaps, even close of play yesterday, but at least supporters can relish a prospect of taking a lead of 500+ runs. Although unlikely, God forbid if rain spoils this once in a season celebration. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKE1000259 |

I’d have declared about halfway through the morning session. |

So we have now declared, they need 499 runs we need 10 wickets.
C’mon Sussex, give your loyal supporters something to cheer!

Really like the look of Unadkat. We won't be able to get him for the early season due to IPL, nor will he be able to play T20 Blast, but we could tempt him back for the June/July Championship matches and maybe the ODC. Agent Pujara needs to get to work. Dependent on India commitments as well mind.

I think like Jon FIlby said yesterday weve probably got him and McAndrew who see Sussex as their county now so it could work that way.

He did get better as t20 season went on and has a strong record an international level. McAndrew’s value is more apparent in his absence than when he was playing. We’ve missed him. |

I'd not rule out Unadkat in the T20 too |
