- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.2 Raine gets his revenge, and Orr is gone - run out backing up! Crisp drive from Haine but Raine got a hand down and diverted the ball into the stumps, with Orr clearly still out of his ground 42/19.4 pitched up, Haines has a nibbble - gone! Just enough seam movement to find the edge and Haines' slightly scratchy knock comes to an end. Two wickets in three balls for Durham 44/220.5 Potts gets on the board in the first over after lunch! Banged into the deck and Alsop is looking to defend, only manages to deflect the ball down on to his leg stump 86/366.2 hit on the pads, and given! Raine lets out a roar of delight, Pujara gone after a fine innings. That's the breakthrough Durham were after 245/723.4 another drag-on, Sussex lose their fourth! Clark is clearly frustrated by his dismissal here... back of a length and angling across, he wanted to cut but only succeeded in chopping a fat bottom edge into his stumps 91/455.1 Carter is on the charge... and up goes the finger! Robinson appealed for the catch and then whipped off the bails, for good measure. Think Carter might just have got back, but it's academic as he's been given out caught behind. Durham break the fifth-wicket stand, and it's a maiden Championship wicket for Kuhnemann 203/5Extras14 (b 4, lb 1, nb 8, w 1)TOTAL335 all out (93.4 Overs, RR: 3.57)Did not bat: FJ Hudson-PrenticeFall of wickets: 1-42 (Ali Orr, 9.2 ov), 2-44 (Tom Haines, 9.4 ov), 3-86 (Tom Alsop, 20.5 ov), 4-91 (Tom Clark, 23.4 ov), 5-203 (Oli Carter, 55.1 ov), 6-245 (George Garton, 65.3 ov), 7-245 (Cheteshwar Pujara, 66.2 ov), 8-303 (Jack Carson, 78.3 ov), 9-314 (Sean Hunt, 84.4 ov), 10-335 (Henry Crocombe, 93.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 gottim, a loose drive, and Lees has nicked behind! Crocombe strikes with his third ball of the innings 37/29.3 back of a length, angling across... and has he got a feather on it? Yes, up goes the finger! Jones turns for the dressing room and Sussex have the breakthrough 30/115.1 Crocombe has another! Length ball outside off, and McKinney pokes without moving his feet to steer through to Carter - third catch of the session for the Sussex keeper 42/320.5 edged to slip on the drive! Well bowled by Hudson-Prentice, luring Bedingham into a loose shot - the ball just did enough to catch the edge, and Alsop swallows the chance. Durham in trouble here 62/446.3 big wicket for Sussex! Robinson is aghast, as he opens the face and steers to gully. Tom Clark takes a sharp, low catch and the balance of the game shifts again 163/721.1 Crocombe strike again! Clark goes, Durham five down... Back of a length in the channel, draws an indecisive prod and Carter does the rest 63/552.4 chipped to mid-off! Potts goes for the loft drive but only succeeds in picking out the man at catchable height. Hudson-Prentice has four, and this Durham innings is almost done 188/953.6 back of a length, steered to gully! Limp shot from Kuhnemann, well held by Carson going to his left...
