Durham vs Sussex

It's a return to the red ball for Paul Farbrace's Sussex side for the next fortnight, starting with a lengthy voyage to the Seat Unique Riverside Stadium in Durham as they look to continue their fine form to life back in Division One.

It was roughly a month ago when Sussex last played in the competition, and what a fine match it was as Sussex cruised to a nine-wicket win over their neighbours. Henry Crocombe returned and was exceptional. John Simpson smashed a century. And Jack Carson took a fifer to wrap things up. 

After seven matches, Sussex sit in third position - 20 points off top spot.

The Opposition

But now the spotlight swivels onto our northernmost county: Durham. They, too, have enjoyed a promising start with two wins and three losses. Graham Clark and Alex Lees have been their finest batters of the campaign to date, with the pair racking up almost 1000 runs between them this season. The perenially potent Colin Ackermann, too, helps bolster both their batting and bowling attack.

But it's been Ben Raine and Matthew Potts that have taken the most scalps thus far, with the latter eying a route back into the England Test squad.

Squad

Paul Farbrace has selected a 12-player squad for the journey to Durham.

Gurinder Sandhu makes his debut for the county after agreeing terms in the winter, whilst Ollie Robinson returns to the squad.
