Of course yeah. Imagine that'll be the spot that Ali misses out on. Extremely long batting lineup this year by the looks of things. Gleeson and Woakes handy new ball partners and should hopefully avoid having to rely on Barnard to bowl at the death.

Really happy with this one, suspect he’ll do very well and hoping it isn’t at the cost of Taz.

Yates Davies Webster Hain Mousley Barnard Thompson Garton Ali Gleeson Tariq?

On the topic of strange social media usage, the club clearly teased a new signing to be announced on April 30th, but nothing has been posted on any channel or the club site.

Frankly bizarre considering the post is still up.

Played last week too. Still contracted I believe, think he’s been doing some 12th man in the CC and has a headshot on the club site.

A comprehensive win by 105 runs over Worcestershire in the U18 County T20 Cup after our boys racked up the ridiculous 279/8 from their 20 overs.

Omaris Khan made 117 off 39 opening the batting with 15(!) sixes while there were three wickets for James Pidgeon and two each for Joseph Walley and Eddie Miller.

Get in Mikey! Now then...

There's that bit of luck! Got to be right on it now.

Agreed, we'll bowl a lot worse and get more reward than this at times. Not had that bit of luck you need on a batting surface. So many close calls.

Incredible. Thompson on Hameed another close one we've not gotten.

If there's no bat that on that Woakes shout against Hameed that's plumb...

Enforcing the follow on comes as a bit of a surprise but with two (hopefully) fresh new ball bowlers, a good opportunity to get stuck into Notts again. Plenty of time left in the game to get this one done.

Just reflecting on yesterday again, it's so exciting that Michael Booth is really starting to show his abundant promise with bat and ball. Crucial and powerful runs to get us to the max batting points, fiery and aggressive with ball. Still room to improve, but he's really looking like someone with international attributes to me. Excited to see what he can offer with a run in the T20 side this season too after some impressive ODC performances last year. A stereotypical "X-factor" player.

Barnard’s had a pretty exceptional game so far. Enjoyed his rotation of the seamers and also led by example with his miserly spell. Really impressive.

Incredible! What a last half an hour that is. We’ve got such a balanced and multi-faceted seam attack to really hurt teams when we’re at it.

Love to see what Booth’s clocking on the gun here. Been brilliant throughout the afternoon.

Mikey!!!!!

Top class from Woakes. All over Verreynne.

We’ve bowled excellently in this evening session. Booth’s LBW shout on Clarke looked pretty good for what it’s worth and we’ve deserved more reward than the one wicket so far.

feels very similar to Yorkshire away last year. Every run vital and it's Beau getting them...

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.
