Jordan falls in Sussex rearguardpublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 12 April 2019
Durham 224 v Sussex 121-8
Horror moment for Sussex and Chris Jordan against Durham as he and Luke Wells suffer a communication breakdown with their calling.
Jordan is run out for 25 as he sets off for what seems a comfortable single, but Wells stays rooted to his crease at the other end forcing his team-mate to about turn.
He can't get back in time though as Ben Raine's throw comes in and Ned Eckersley whips off the bails and Durham have a welcome wicket.

Warwks 26-1 v Kent 504-9 dec
A soft dismissal, really.
Darren Stevens bowls well wide of off and Will Rhodes as nowhere near the pitch of the ball as he wafts a gentle catch to the keeper.
The pressure transfers on to Liam Banks.
