I'd imagine Durham will belt as many as they can for the next session, rather than declare imminently. They'll likely need the extra runs, even if they don't they will still win.
Really need Blackwell & Kieswetter to get all the runs as there ain't much to come after them.

Two idle Friday's running for me too Mr Z - at least from Monday we will be able to return to normality - never known a season like it

Last year likewise - a real nailbiter which went down to the last evening on the last day as Lanky nearly pulled off an amazing run-chase to win the Championship.

But at least that was a Saturday and it was on the telly!

Hope we are going to get a captain's innings from Adams Mr Z - is his future settled yet?

Sussex on course to be champions again!
Here's how:
Sussex make 400 and win
Notts - Hants draw, but Notts bowl their overs very very slowly incurring points deductions.
Durham and Kent draw, but Durham bowl their overs very very slowly incurring points deductions, and are also penalised for a dodgy wicket.
Lancs beat Somerset, who bowl their overs slowly incurring a point deduction.
So the final table would be:
Sussex 173
Somerset 172
Nottinghamshire 172
Durham 172
Lancs 170
Hants 168
Kent 156
Yorks 150
Surrey 124

That's a big fat duck from Captain Adams, and no his future isn't settled. Neither am I...

Was gonna say, are none of these games being shown???
Super busy in work today so haven't been able to check in at all. Think that might actually be a good thing, mind you!

You can't beat a bit of blind faith Mr Z - not a scientologist by any chance are you?

This is fascinating stuff. I didn't really take that much notice of last season, unusually, so didn't experience the finish which happened there.
Middlesex and Essex have those games about as wrapped-up as you can get, but UIMM nothing much is riding on them. Likewise Derbyshire's middle-order has wasted the chance Stubbings and Borrington gave them of dictating that game there and they should lose to Leicestershire. And Lancashire still well on course to beat Somerset, though they'll take nothing for granted. Yorkshire still on top against Sussex too, but they've gotten closer than I was hoping they might at 23 for 3.
Durham currently well on top against Kent but hopefully Kent can dig deep into their deep batting to put-up about the first decent display against Durham's attack anyone's managed this season. Likewise Warwickshire in position of great strength in another irrelevant game.
Hampshire-Notts is one hell of a match though.

Kent appear to have thrown in the towel like they did at Liverpool - they obviously don't like northern sides in September
