Surrey win by eight wickets, with a four for Ollie Pope taking him to 10 not out and getting Surrey to the target.

Crocombe goes pinned LBW for four to give Fisher his third scalp of the innings. Sussex all out for 277, a lead of 13 overall - one run less than Surrey's all time lowest ever all out total, 'achieved' against Essex in 1983.

Robinson goes to a catch behind off Jordan Clark for 42 and it is 272-9, a lead of just eight with Crocombe joining Haines.

Topley bowls Charlie Tear for 61 to make it 237-8. A brave effort by the young wicket keeper but not enough to save his side who are still 27 short of avoiding the innings defeat. Tom Haines resumes his innings after being hit by the only ball he faced yesterday.

Sean Abbott pins Carson LBW for 48 to make it 193-7, still 71 adrift. Carson has had a mighty match for a side who look like being on the wrong end of an absolute blasting.

50 up for Charlie Tear. Sussex now 175-6, 89 short of avoiding the innings defeat. That is lunch, and the morning has yielded 99-2.
#cricket #CountyCricket #CountyChampionship #SurreyvSussex #SURvSUS

Sean Abbott gets Fynn Hudson-Prentice to make it 111-6, still 153 short of avoiding the innings defeat. Jack Carson comes in.

Daniel Hughes goes for 39, caught by Burns off Jordan Clark to make it 82-5. No sign of Tom Haines resuming his innings - Fynn Hudson-Prentice is in at number seven.

Stumps on day three and Sussex are 76-4, 188 short of avoiding the innings defeat. Daniel Hughes has 37 not out, and Charlie Tear has 9 not out. Tom Haines may be able to resume tomorrow.

Dan Lawrence gets John Simpson with the aid of a fine catch by Jamie Smith. Sussex 61-4, still 203 short of avoiding the innings defeat. Charlie Tear joins Daniel Hughes with 3.1 overs left in the day.

Good ball from Clark pins Leaning LBW for 15 and Sussex are 29-3, still 235 short of avoiding the innings defeat. John Simpson joins Daniel Hughes.

Coles goes for a duck and it is 0-2 with Haines also retired hurt. Brilliant opening over from Fisher.
#cricket #CountyCricket #CountyChampionship #SurreyvSussex #SURvSUS

Haines retires hurt after a ball from Fisher rose sharply at him and clonked him. He has walked off unaided. Tom Clark goes LBW first ball and it is 0-1 with one batter injured. Horror start for Sussex as they attempt to clear this massive deficit of 264.

Topley reminds us that the genuine tail ender is not quite an extinct species, being pinned LBW by his first ball. Surrey all out for 622, a lead of 264.
#cricket #CountyCricket #CountyChampionship #SurreyvSussex #SURvSUS

Adam Thomas is ninth out for 120, bowled by James Coles to make it 622-9. Reece Topley joins Matthew Fisher.

Century on first class debut for Adam Thomas, off 159 balls with eight fours and a six. Surrey 583-76, 225 ahead on first innings so far.

Lunch on day three. Surrey are 413-5, 55 ahead on first innings so far, and Henry Crocombe in that over got one to lift awkwardly at Sibley, though the veteran opener played it well. Sibley has 167 not out, and in the course of his innings he has moved past 10,000 career FC runs.

The weather intervention at The Oval has not unexpectedly ended the days play there with Surrey 292-2 in reply to Sussex's 358-9 declared.

Tea on day two, Surrey now 245-1 in reply to Sussex's 358-9 declared. Burns bowled by Crocombe for 77, Sibley 93 not out and Patel 57 not out.

Lunch on day two and Surrey are 120-0 in reply to Sussex's 358-9 declared. Huge morning for Surrey with the openers batting through without being separated. The ball is now getting old and soft, and the afternoon and evening sessions could be very long ones for Sussex.
#cricket #CountyCricket #CountyChampionship #SurreyvSussex #SURvSUS

End of day one and Surrey are 19-0 in reply to Sussex's 358-9 declared. An extraordinary day's play.
#cricket #CountyCricket #CountyChampionship #SurreyvSussex #SURvSUS

Ollie Robinson reaches his second first class hundred with a six and then declares to have a bowl at Surrey tonight. Sussex 358-9 declared in their first innings, a great recovery from 92-7.
#cricket #CountyCricket #CountyChampionship #SurreyvSussex #SURvSUS

Incredible recovery by Sussex, spearheaded by Jack Carson who has just reached his second first class century. Sussex are 329-8 having at one time looked like being out for under 100.
#cricket #CountyCricket #CountyChampionship #SurreyvSussex #SURvSUS

Just tuning into the #cricket after another commitment knocked my entire morning out, and I find that Sussex are 105-7 at The Oval, Jordan Clark 5-16. Well done Surrey - now finish them off quickly.
