Match Notes

  • Sussex win relegation battle

    Sussex ensured their survival in Division One of next year's County Championship with a resounding 251-run win over Worcestershire

  • Sussex keep Worcestershire sweating

    Worcestershire will end the season peering over their shoulder with the nervousness of Dr Crippen's paperboy as they struggle to retain their Division One status

  • Sussex seize on Worcestershire's errors

    Worcestershire may well go on to avoid relegation this season, but goodness me, they are making life hard for themselves

  • Sussex edge mistake-filled contest

    Perhaps it was nerves, perhaps it was weariness or perhaps it simply explained why both sides are embroiled in the relegation tussle, but the first day of this match was characterised by a succession of errors
