Good Night for now.
And that will be the end of the County Championship Match of division two between Sussex and Middlesex here at Hove. At the start of today’s play team Sussex was in a commanding position in this match as Cheteshwar Pujara and Clark were playing a fantastic knock. Pujara scored a brilliant 170* off 197 balls and on the other hand Tom Clark also played a small but crucial innings of 77 from 124 balls. With the help of these two players only, Sussex were able to set a huge target of 370 runs for team Middlesex in their second innings. Shaheen Shah Afridi didn’t came to field today as he was feeling unwell and because of him not being available, the inexperience of Middlesex bowlers could be seen easily. Sussex batsmen scored last 50 runs a rapid pace.
After that Middlesex come to bat and they lostb their first wicket earlier in the innings in the name of Mark Stoneman, but after that captain Peter Handscomb and especially the right handed batsman Robson lead their way ahead quite beautifully, by scoring 79 off 142 and 149 off 181 respectively. The only bowler which looks good from Sussex bowling line up was Ollie Robinson.
After the dismissal of Robson and Handscomb, Max Holden lead the chasing ahead in great fashion by scoring a crucial half century after coming to bat at number 5.
With that team Middlesex grabs a sensational victory here against the rivals Sussex, it’s a complete turn around in the last session after tea. This match has proven to be a perfect edge of the seat thriller for all the cricket fanatics round the globe.
