Sussex will be looking for some early wickets this morning to close out a win over Gloucestershire and push them nearer promotion to Division One. All-rounder Jack Carson top-scored for Sussex in their first innings and said there was excitement in the camp about their position. “It is tantalising being so close to the finishing line and achieving our objective. We have been talking about it for two years and it is brilliant to be this close,” he told BBC Radio Sussex.
I would back our lads to chase whatever needs to be chased in the final innings, but we want it to be as few as possible.” Gloucestershire left-arm spinner Zafar Gohar will remember this match fondly no matter the outcome as he claimed his 300th first-class wicket yesterday. “I knew I was on around 290 going into the game, but wasn’t aware of the exact number until it was announced to the crowd after my sixth wicket,” he told BBC Radio Bristol.
