Not a good start to the second innings with the Bears already 25/3! Terrible judgment by Hain leaving the first ball and out lbw!

4 for 14!
Think Hain got a bad one here
I know he's left it but the ball pitches well short yes it jags back a fair bit but the umpire has to be guessing. To the eye it looks like it's going over
That's a ridiculously good effort from Yates under the circumstances.
How do we think we need as a minimum here?
Very happy to see Rob Yates back at his nuggety yet stylish best today. Really important innings that should ultimately define the course of the rest of this one. Feel as though Sussex's seamers have bowled with a bit more discipline than ours did, perhaps bar Crocombe, but with Sussex's batters' lack of patience giving us a route in.
If we can make this a 330 lead I'd be pretty confident on a pitch still offering plenty.
Strange, entertaining match. Yates, Barnard & Smith have pulled the innings around as Smith & Woakes did 1st up.
We are on top but another good spell of bowling tomorrow morning could change that quickly.
A 250 lead would be something to make them think but with 5 wickets left, if they don't get a good star tomorrow, the field spreads and we knock it about. I think we know how to take it from here and batting till lunch would see us well in charge and 300+ ahead. I think 270 minimum would see us bowl with confidence.
