Sussex won by 75 runs with Somerset bowled out, Sharma wrapping up the Somerset tail.
Lots of matches underway today; the only live stream I can find at the moment is N'hants v Lancs:

So the scores on the doors today:
Yorks require 351 v Worcs 350/6 (50.0)
N'hants require 280 v Lancs 279/8 (50.0)
Leics require 410 v Notts 409/7 (50.0)
Derbys require 273 v Durham 272/8 (50.0)
Surrey require 283 v Gloucs 282/6 (50.0)
Hants require 304 v Essex 303/6 (50.0)
None of the sides batting first ended up all out.
And the later match:
Glamorgan v Middlesex 47/0 (6.2)
Notts' score of 409 is the 5th highest total in the 50-over competition (now into its fifth season) and the highest made so far at Grace Road.
Notts have four of these top five scores, with the third highest being a Northants side visiting Trent Bridge (and being beaten by the highest score, 445).Last edited by Kevin S; 23-05-2018, 13:41.

Obviously I'm slightly wary of claiming much about a record that only dates back to 2014, but as far as I can see the highest score for a B&H Cup match was Essex making 388/7 against Scotland in 1992, and that was off 55 overs. So presumably these One Day Cup high scores are in fact all-time records?

Aha! No, it missed out the whole Friends Provident / Gillette / NatWest / C&G era. Some big scores there, including this 496 record from Surrey.
Why can't they keep all the 50-over county match records together, the bastards?

Sky appear to have the TMS short form duo of Charles Dagnall and Ebony Rainford-Brent helming their coverage. This is undoubtedly a good thing but a little discombobulating to have them actually synced with the TV pictures as opposed to just a little off the beat of them on the radio.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 23-05-2018, 14:35.

Not sure if it’s already been mentioned but over the next week or so an Aboriginal XI will be touring England to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the original Aboriginal tour.
May get to the game at The Oval, it makes an attractive double header with the previous day’s visit of Glamorgan.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 02-06-2018, 11:25.

They're playing against an MCC XI today, but I can't find a stream. I can find Lancs v Yorks in the One Day Cup though (standard fixed camera job):

Lancashire have my least favourite one day county kit I've seen so far.
