Fucking hell, how on earth did we win that? 104-5 early in the 16th over and managed to pick our way to 157, then Durham were halfway to their target with all their wickets standing at the midpoint of their innings and we still won by 10 runs.

I know that this is all I post about in this thread (or similar) but how is the only 1st class game happening on the middle Saturday of July a 2020 game in Chelmsford?
There are, at least, championship games starting on Sunday. Although I don't understand why they're running Sunday to Wednesday. Should I go to Lords, Canterbury or Brighton? While I'm nominally Warks I can't stand Lords as a place. I'm quite tempted by the day night game in Brighton.

This Roses match is one of those great matches which keeps going back and forth. Lancashire start with that incredible hattrick, and have Yorkshire reeling. Then the tale wags taking them from 86/6 to 192 all out. Yorkshire then retake the initiative and bowl Lancashire out for 109 (after they had been 55/1). This morning, Yorkshire bat again quickly fall to 21/3, before Brooks and Bairstow put on not only the first 50 partnership in the match but then turn it into a century partnership. Currently 130/3 with both batsmen over 50, and Yorkshire with a lead of 212

Went to Chesterfield today in punishingly hot conditions for Derbyshire v Northamptonshire. The ball had been seaming around yesterday but the wicket had flattened out today. Don't know what my record for runs before lunch is but Northants had a good crack at it with 134. Alex Wakely hit a ton, played well and offered no chances until one raised on him and a sharp slip catch got him on 106. Northants gave their wickets away after that and Derby looked relatively untroubled until the clouds rolled in and there was a late collapse.
Could tell I was watching second division cricket though, apart from the poor batting there was loose bowling and some very poor fielding from both sides. Derby managed eleven (11!) misfields, a dropped catch and an overthrow in the first hour alone. Stopped counting after that.
Nice to be allowed on the outfield during the interval. Crowd about 800 at a total guess. Shout out to the bloke I spotted reading a WSC with Mancini and Bellamy on the front (2010 I think)

So the pitch at Brighton may not have been quite as flat as it appeared on day one and the issue might be elsewhere as Sussex won in two days yesterday, dismissing Glamorgan for 85 and then 88.
I had a lovely day on Sunday. The ground has more stands than I was expecting and I overheard people around me discussing if the club should consider making them permanent. Sussex looked ok batting in the first and last sessions but during the middle one runs dried up and they got a bit desperate. Finch nearly got himself run out a couple of times as he tried to get his first run.

Nepal-Netherlands T20 International from Lord's should be streaming here in a few minutes.
Both Nepal and Netherlands crushed MCC in the preliminaries (reduced to six overs due to the rain)
