Match Centre

2.45pm Each and every Sussex player comes up to console and congratulate in equal measure. Among the records Louis Kimber smashed in his extraordinary 243 from 127 balls was the most runs in a Championship over (43) and the most sixes (21). But the number he really wanted was 464... 445 is not quite enough! He's pretty despondent as he leaves the pitch, but there's nothing but glory on show in that innings.

Thanks for tuning into County Cricket Pop-Up Comms. I'm heading back across the feeds to Chester-le-Street, where England's women are taking on New Zealand. From Andrew Miller, see you next time.

McAndrew to Kimber, OUT, bowled him! Kimber's magnificence falls short! It was back of a length, straight as they come, he swished eagerly into the leg-side, but can only under-edge the ball into his own stumps! Here ends one of the most valiant innings ever witnessed in first-class cricket!

Barry: "Far more exciting than England in Cologne last night. Not hard really, I know...."
