Chris Woakes was so pissed off bowling against Surrey on a graveyard, heavy-rollered pitch that he must have decided to become a batsman.

Credit to Chambers as well, for sticking around with Woakes.

I think if Sussex lost their last 4 wickets before getting to 250 and we got to 300 by 110 overs and then took 9 Derbyshire wickets in the 110 overs, then we would be dead level with Sussex in the table (depending on a win, loss or draw).

How come they're still not playing at Edgbaston? Says 'Start Delayed by Rain', but there's hardly been a drop since about 8am??
