County cricket day two: Sussex v Surrey, Hampshire v Somerset, and more – live | County Championship Key events “Hi Tanya.” Good morning Tim Maitland! “Looking at the weather radar and the bizarre sight of rain making its way UP the country from south east to north west, which I don’t think it ever did when I was a kid, it looks like you might be in for a gruesome day checking in on delays and restarts … except for Durham, which seems set fair. “A good time to mention Yorkshire’s Dom Bess backing up his maiden Championship century against Worcestershire with an unbeaten half century at Chester-le-Street. It seems crazy that it’s taken since his first class debut in 2016 and several wrong turns to get to three figures. It would be cool if he builds on his 57 not out with another big score today... especially as he started his season with James Vince-like scores of 1, 0 and 7. “Talking of Vince (clunk), he’s had quite a week with the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League: 101 at a ridiculous strike rate of 234 against Multan Sultans, a two-ball duck against the Lahore Qalandars* and most recently 70 at a sedate 149 versus the Quetta Gladiators. I was just reading about that. He’ll be hugely missed at Hampshire, and readers/writers of CCLive – but I hope the move is a happy one for him.
