Lancashire v Sussex - County Championship Division One – 2nd Day – Live Cricket Score and Update
Lancashire 124 & 85/4 (33.0 ov) v Sussex 300 - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 trail by 91 runs with 6 wickets remaining
On Friday, Sussex resumed their first innings from a tally of 137, with EC Joyce and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MH-Yardy-c1946 against Lancashire, in order to increase their lead in the four-day match, at Aigburth, Liverpool.
Both batsmen, who were untouchable on day-one, looked in same knick as they aimed to add more runs to their overnight tallies of 48 and 70.
After mounting a staggering total of 179 runs, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sussex-c852 lost their first wicket of the day when Joyce after smashing an innings of 64 runs was dismissed by LA Procter.
The demise of this wicket brought 24-year-old, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Joe-Gatting-c1710, on the crease and young batsman forged a potent partnership with Yardy.
The two batsmen batted exceptionally well, making the bowlers look amateurish as they steered the side to 224 runs before Yardy finally faltered after jamming a stupendously crafting innings of 110 runs.
His innings was actually the turning point and took the game away from Lancashire and had the batsman been taken out earlier in the day, the fielding side would not have gotten hammered for such a big total.
With the skipper back in the pavilion, the remaining batsmen chipped in and posted 300 runs by the end of their first innings in 104 overs.
From Lancashire, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Luke-Anthony-Procter-c73259 were the best bowlers with three wickets to their names.
Coming out to bat in pursuit of the heavy total, Lancashire had their first wicket stand broken with 24 runs on the board as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Moore-c2572 fell after scoring only 11 runs.
On the next delivery, Karl Brown was caught in front of stumps without getting off the mark. And now with two wickets down with only 24 runs on the board, panic was gripping Lancashire, while Sussex were aiming to take a few more wickets to seriously tighten screws around the batting side.
By stumps, Lancashire had lost four wickets and managed to post only 85 runs on the board with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AG-Prince-c949 and Luke Procter standing unbeaten on 31 and eight runs.
