Live: Yorkshire Men v Sussex, Rothesay CC, Day Three

Another good day for Yorkshire, who have Sussex three down and still 208 runs in arrears.

Matthew Revis the star of the show with a career best 152 not out through to this afternoon.

Opener Daniel Hughes has ended the day on 56 for Sussex with Danial Ibrahim on 50. They have advanced the score from 20-3 before tea.

Ibrahim reached his fifty with the last ball of the day, off 111 balls.

Good news for Yorkshire in that Surrey have beaten Durham at the Riverside inside three days.

Meanwhile, here at Scarborough, Sussex are holding on. Daniel Hughes has just reached his fifty off 114 balls with 10x4s, taking his side to 92-3 in the 36th over. He has Danial Ibrahim alongside him on 33.

Daniel Hughes has 36 and Danial Ibrahim 28. These two have put on 53 either side of tea to take the sting out of the situation from a Sussex point of view.

We have 14 overs remaining in the day after this one, being bowled by Dom Bess.

Early stages of the evening, and Daniel Hughes and Danial Ibrahim are in the early stages of a rebuilding job. They have 23 and 26 respectively. We have 28 more to bowl this evening.

There’s only been 29 overs through to tea in the Test at the Kia Oval.

Gus Atkinson, Chris Woakes and a run out have accounted for the wickets.

Sussex in early bother against the new ball.

Jack White, a run out and Matt Milnes account for the early wickets as the visitors trail by 294 with 32 overs remaining in the day.

Tom Alsop run out (Imam-Ul-Haq), 0.

Daniel Hughes pushed Matt Milnes into the covers and Imam runs around from short mid-off to cover and throws the striker’s end stumps down.

And now James Coles is caught at fourth slip by Will Sutherland off Milnes next ball.

Yorkshire on the charge.

Tom Haines caught and bowled Jack White, 7.

Leading edge loops back to our new-ball seamer.

Sussex suffer an early blow as they look to wipe off this 323-run deficit.

Revis, aged 23, became the first Yorkshire player to score three hundreds in successive first-class matches since Gary Ballance in 2019 and the first non-capped White Rose player to achieve that feat since 1945.

Matthew Revis reaches his 150 off 186 balls with 14x4s and 2x6s. Fabulous.

Yorkshire have moved to 545-6 in the 140th over, a lead of 323.

Ah, make that 545-9 declared.

Matt Milnes has just fallen to Jack Carson, and the declaration comes. We have 44 overs remaining in the day.

Dom Bess caught behind John Simpson bowled Henry Crocombe, 13.

Bess falls trying to scoop, with Matt Milnes in now alongside Matthew Revis on 124.

Yorkshire’s lead is 270.

George Hill caught Daniel Hughes bowled Henry Crocombe, 75.

Hill miscues a pull high to mid-on, ending a 140-run partnership with Matthew Revis, who remains unbeaten on 106.

Yorkshire’s lead is 238 as the captain Dom Bess comes to the crease.

Matthew Revis gets his latest ton, his third in a row in the Championship, off 137 balls with 12 fours. Simply stunning.

Yorkshire’s players celebrate by hoisting a physio’s bed in the air. Not sure if there’s a story behind that or it’s just exuberance.

Anyway, that’s lunch. Yorkshire 453-6, leading by 231. George Hill has 73 not out.

George Hill reaches his fifty off 65 balls with 6x4s and 1x6s.

Yorkshire have now moved to 425-6, a lead of 203.

Hill has moved 55 and Matthew Revis 91.

George Hill recently lofted Jack Carson for six over long-on and out of the ground at the Trafalgar Square End of this ground.

Well, it actually landed in the back garden of the Air BnB that our live streaming team are using.

Yorkshire 404-6 in the 115th over now. Hill has 44 and Matthew Revis 81.

Matthew Revis 73 and George Hill 32.

Yorkshire clinch three batting points to add to three bowling points. Sussex finish with two bowling points overall.

Yorkshire are 375-6 after 107 overs. So 25 runs in three overs needed for another bonus point – the county’s fourth.

It’s probably unlikely, but if Matthew Revis and George Hill could get there, it would have been a great start to the day.

A third batting point has been secured for reaching 350.

Could a fourth be reached? Yorkshire need 47 in seven overs to do that. Matthew Revis 59 and George Hill 15 are at the crease.

Matthew Revis is in some form at the moment!

He’s just reached another fifty, off 77 balls with 8x4s. Yorkshire 328-6.

Revis has now posted two fifties and two hundreds in the last four Championship matches.

Will Sutherland bowled Gurinder Sandhu, 2.

Full ball which our Australian all-rounder looks to drive at but is bowled by his compatriot.

George Hill in now. Matthew Revis has 43.

Harry Duke caught behind John Simpson bowled Fynn Hudson-Prentice, 21.

Sussex break through in the day’s second over.

Duke, pushing forwards, is undone by one which swings away from him significantly.

Will Sutherland is in now alongside Matthew Revis, who has 22.

The visitors have started the day by taking the new ball immediately.

Gurinder Sandhu is bowling to Harry Duke on 20. Yorkshire 292-4, leading by 70.

Ollie Pope opts to insert India on his home ground as England, 2-1 up, aim to close out the series at the Kia Oval.

Will Sutherland is playing his last game for Yorkshire this week before going home to Australia. But he was desperate for an early taste of home so went surfing with Dan Moriarty after play last night. Dom Bess was on hand to capture the moment on his Instagram story.

Yesterday, the county’s over 60s team played an interesting fixture, a 45-over friendly against their counterparts from Western Australia. That was played at Alloe Field in Halifax, where Yorkshire won by 35 runs having posted a total of 315-5, which included an unbeaten 100 for opener Patrick Neal.

John Heald, who is one of our club photographers, was saying yesterday that his wife Helen scored the game and Yorkshire’s team took the WA lads out for a post-match pie and peas. Lovely stuff!

Neal scored his second century in as many games. On Tuesday, he hit an unbeaten 102 against Durham in the Over 60s National Championship Division One North, which Yorkshire currently lead having won 10 of their 12 games.

From North Marine Road, where it’s warm and sunny ahead of day three, which Yorkshire will begin on 292-4 in reply to a first-innings 222.

Matthew Revis and Harry Duke are at the crease and in the early twenties.

The White Rose have had much the better of the first two days, and another good one will surely put them on the verge of a victory – and a key one at that given the tight nature of the bottom end of the Division One table.

Adam Lyth was the day two star with a superb 115, and James Wharton not far behind him with 85.

Elsewhere, Yorkshire’s closest rivals in the table, Durham, are up against it heading into day three against Surrey at the Riverside. They are 222-5 in their second innings, leading by only 53.

It’s also the start of the fifth Test between England and India at the Kia Oval today.
