Unmitigated levels of excitement may break out as the new ball has just been taken in CLS.

The old one has been unceremoniously booted off the field. And good riddance to it. It's been utterly dull today. Credit to the batters, who have not lost a wicket, but this is enough to get cricket done away with.

The Kookaburra gives the bowlers about a 15-over window when it's new and that's about it. 20 overs if lucky. And if it gets wet you've had it.

I hope this experiment is abandoned next year, when we have whatever structure to the county season they decide. Sadly there's still three rounds of games to go with it this season.

Ben Raine had a big appeal for LBW against Danial Ibrahim (75) with the first delivery of the new ball, but it was not given. John Simpson has 63. Batting has been extremely straightforward though, on a slow, flat track.

Not sure what will come first? A wicket, or me falling asleep!

It's been an attritional first hour, with only 21 runs scored. That includes just two boundaries.

Matty Potts and Ben Raine have really put some pressure on Sussex though. And Danial Ibrahim has survived two bigs appeals for LBW, both from Potts. Both looked good shouts, but each time umpire Peter Hartley said "no".

Ibrahim has faced 139 balls for his 32. He's been tanacious and it's a great learning process for the 20-year-old. John Simpson has 25 from 63.

But, crucially, no wickets have fallen on day four so far.

It was a disappointing day yesterday, with four stoppages in the afternoon caused by a mix of rain and bad light. In all 34 overs were lost.

So, the game has not had the opportunity to progress the way we were hoping it would, particularly after nine wickets fell in 33 overs from Monday night to Tuesday lunchtime.

If we are to see anything other than a draw, then Sussex are going to have to come out and play some attacking shots this morning to try to set up some kind of run chase later. Or Durham's bowlers are really going to have to be on the money from the off.

The light is not too bad at the moment and the radar doesn't look too bad either, so hopefully we get a full day in.

It's been a tough first hour for Durham, with runs hard to come by in overcast and humid conditions in CLS.

Ollie Robinson has kept things really tight from the Lumley End, while Gurinder Sandhu and Jofra Archer have added to the pressure from the Finchale End.

One wicket has fallen. Graham Clark was caught behind for 51 off Robinson, trying to hook a short ball. He added only five to his overnight score.

His replacement George Drissell has been watchful. It took him 20 balls to get off the mark, just as it did for James Coles in the Sussex first innings. He went on to make 148* though.

Durham lost the services of Colin Ackermann to the final delivery of the day yesterday, as he got an inside edge from Gurinder Sandhu, onto his off-stump. He was out for 65, having added 76 for the fifth wicket with Graham Clark.

Clark resumed on 46 today and has now reached 50 for the 23rd time in his first-class career.

A no ball from Sandhu also brought up the 250 for Durham and a first batting poiint.

It's humid in CLS but the wind has at least dropped. It feels really muggy under grey skies. One weather app suggests we could see some showers today, while a rival says we won't. How can it be? Someone make it make sense!
