Match Notes

  • Dropped catch helps Cook 'get on with it'

    Alastair Cook rose to meet his particular challenge of recent days by scoring a second Championship hundred in as many matches, this time wearing the new-style helmet that has unexpectedly become the source of some bother

  • Napier and Porter's hard yards revive Essex

    At one stage in this match, it looked as if Sussex were disappearing off into the distance over the South Downs. Building on a second significant score from opener Chris Nash, the lead at tea was 210 with seven wickets standing

  • Westley impresses after Cook's grilling

    Alastair Cook's exploratory first outing in a new helmet ended after five balls but that was the worst of the impermanence from Essex

  • Emotional Nash hundred as Sussex remember Hobden

    There was emotion before play at Hove in a memorial for Matthew Hobden and Chris Nash followed that with a fitting innings
