50.1 to BG Charlesworth, angled across, Charlesworth has a nibble... and edged behind! Seales goes bombing off towards gully as Charlesworth drags himself away. He's played well but tempted into a fateful feel outside off. 171/4 85.5 to JR Bracey, . 307/7
Danny Lamb	20	3	69	3	3.45	93	9	1	0	0
11.2 to CT Bancroft, trapped in front looking to work to leg, Sussex get the breakthrough after a 49-run opening stand. Success for Lamb, who has caused a few problems nibbling it around from the Sea End. 49/1 15.6 to OJ Price, pitched up and Price drives... nicked to slip! Lamb gets another. Full and inviting, just holds its line, and second slip scoops a low catch. 61/2 86.6 to DC Goodman, . 308/8
Fynn Hudson-Prentice	20	2	72	1	3.60	91	8	2	0	0
63.5 to GL van Buuren, full, nipping back, struck on the pads - given! Van Buuren looked as he if thought he'd got outside the line but it was tight. First wicket of the day for Hudson-Prentice. 218/5

49.2 to MAH Hammond, squared up and trapped in front - up goes the finger! Some turn from a length for Carson and Hammond misjudges the line looking to defend. Looked pretty adjacent. 167/3 73.1 to TJ Price, tossed up and spinning sharply into the stumps! Carson strikes first ball back, beating Price's forward lunge on the inside. 264/6 108.5 to AS Dale, . 417/10

3.3 to TGR Clark, some turn for Gohar, and Clark has popped it to short leg! Good diving catch from Bancroft, Gloucestershire strike early in this small chase. 17/1 5.6 to TP Alsop, goes back, Alsop hit on the pads as the ball spins in at him - given! Was it doing too much? Mark Newell doesn't think so. Gohar has two cheap ones. 25/2 13.2 to TJ Haines, Haines charges past one to be stumped! Beaten on the inside by a smidge of turn, Bracey does the rest. Gohar has a third, with Sussex looking to get the job done. 60/3 15.3 to JM Coles, finds some grip, edged to slip! Gohar has a fourth. Coles was pushing forwards defensively, lingered for the decision - but the umpires were happy that it carried. 70/4 27.6 to FJ Hudson-Prentice, . 115/6
