    Sussex 127-6 - Target 144

    Oh no!

    Dom Goodman's leg-stump yorker is diverted towards leg slip by Ollie Price and it goes flying along under the floor and runs away for four valuable runs.

    Sussex need 17.

  2. No close catcherspublished at 16:59 22 April

    Sussex 123-6 - Target 144

    Dom Goodman runs in for his third over, but there are no close catchers for him.

    Surely, that is the way to get wickets?

    Although Goodman's tactic seems to be to bang the ball in short as Danny Lamb gets a slightly lucky run out into the offside.

  4. Postpublished at 16:56 22 April

    Sussex 122-6 - Target 144

    A 15th over from Zafar Gohar begins with Danny Lamb stealing a single.

    Cheteshwar Pujara takes a step down the wicket to the next ball and pushes out to leg for another run.

    Then Lamb grabs a single off the last ball to take the strike.

  5. Tensepublished at 16:53 22 April

    Sussex 119-6 - Target 144

    Cheteshwar Pujara cuts one, but it's brilliantly fielded by Tom Price and there is almost a mix-up between the batters.

    This is tense.

  6. 'Win or lose Gohar is the man or the match'published at 16:52 22 April

    Sussex 119-6 - Target 144

    Adrian Harms
    BBC Sussex

    Win or lose Zafar Gohar is the man or the match.

    He's taken eight wickets in the game and he's scored 112 runs.

    We said there is mileage in this game and there will be a few jitters up on that balcony with the Sussex players.

  7. No-ball?!published at 16:50 22 April

    Sussex 119-6 - Target 144

    Dom Goodman charges in for a second over.

    But the second ball is a no-ball. A gift of two runs.

    New batter Danny Lamb steers one down to deep third to get off the mark.

  8. 'It's Gohar or go home for Gloucestershire'published at 16:50 22 April

    I've never made this joke before and I promise I'll never make it again but...

    It does feel it's Gohar or go home for Gloucestershire.

  9. Five-wicket haul for Zafar Goharpublished at 16:46 22 April

    Sussex 115-6 v Gloucestershire

    That's what happens you pitch it up Zafar!

    Fynn Hudson-Prentice goes to sweep, misses and is plumb LBW for one.

    Zafar now has 5-44 as he tries to spin Gloucestershire to an unlikely win.

    Sussex still need 29.

  10. Postpublished at 16:46 22 April

    Sussex 115-5 - Target 144

    Zafar Gohar has lost his length a little bit as he drops short three balls in a row and Sussex grab three easy singles.

    When he is fuller in length, he does not miss Fynn Hudson-Prentice's off-stump by much.

    Dave - We are still Premier League - NFFC: The value of yesterday's fantastic record breaking partnership ensures a good draw, when defeat seemed likely. Frustrating they didn't get the chance to push for an unlikely win....but take the draw after the first innings. #bbccricket, external

    Dave is probably happy with Notts CCC than his football team at the moment.

  12. 'It's not quite over yet'published at 16:43 22 April

    Sussex 112-5 - Target 144

    It's not quite over yet.

    If there's one man you'd want that ball to be going to is Ollie Price.

  13. WICKET Simpson c O Price b Goodman 25published at 16:41 22 April

    Sussex 112-5 - Target 144

    Is that too little, too late?

    John Simpson will not be there at the finish as he perishes to another short ball, as he pulls it low to midwicket.

    The Sussex skipper departs with 32 needed after a stand of 42 with Cheteshwar Pujara.

  14. Postpublished at 16:38 22 April

    Sussex 112-4 - Target 144

    Dom Goodman is thrown the ball for the first time in this innings.

    At 6ft 7in, can he extract a bit of bounce from the pitch?

    Bowling a no-ball does not do his side any favours, however much bounce he can find.

    And a short ball is hooked for four by John Simpson.

    John Simpson tucks the first ball of Zafar Gohar into the legside for one.

    This could be a big moment for the Sussex man as he seeks a first win since being brought in as captain from Middlesex.

    Only 40 more required.

    Sussex 103-4 - Target 144

    Having begun the day effectively 19-6, Gloucestershire have played well to take the game to 4.30pm today.

    But that new-ball spell yesterday when they slumped to 53-5 left them with a mountain to climb.

    Three singles off the first three balls. It feels like a home win is not too far away.

  17. 100 uppublished at 16:24 22 April

    Sussex 100-4 - Target 144

    Zafar Gohar into his 12th straight over. It has to happen very, very quickly for him.

    Left-hander John Simpson is happy to take a single off the first ball.

    A ball outside leg-stump to Cheteshwar Pujara is then singled wide by umpire Mark Newell and the 100 is up.

  18. Could light halt Sussex charge?published at 16:24 22 April

    Sussex 98-4 - Target 144

    The light is not great at Hove and we cannot use the floodlights for this game.

    Cheteshwar Pujara and John Simpson each add one to the total from a quiet Ajeet Singh Dale over.

    The weather is probably more likely to stop Sussex than Gloucestershire now.

  19. 'Sussex are looking to wrap this up'published at 16:21 22 April

    Sussex 96-4 - Target 144

    Isabelle Duncan
    BBC Sussex

    Sussex are looking to wrap this up as quickly as they can.

    But life is not as easy particularly against the spin of Zafar Gohar.

  20. Leadership at stake for Sussexpublished at 16:21 22 April

    Sussex 96-4 - Target 144

    If they can grab their first victory of the season, Sussex will go top of Division Two.

    They collect four singles from Zafar Gohar's over and they only require 48 more.
