County Championship: Day three of Sussex v Hampshire washed out – BBC

Thursday's forecast is for more showers in Hove
Rothesay County Championship Division One, 1st Central County Ground, Hove (day three)
Hampshire 226 & 173: Fuller 49; Coles 4-47, Unadkat 4-50
Sussex 122 & 37-1: Haines 13*
Sussex (3 pts) require 241 more runs to beat Hampshire (3 pts)
Match scorecard
Day three of Sussex's County Championship game against Hampshire at Hove was abandoned without a ball bowled – the first day's play to be lost this season.
Morning showers delayed the start to day three at the 1st Central County Ground and when more persistent rain arrived at lunchtime umpires Nigel Llong and Rob White called play off at 14:15 BST with puddles forming on a saturated outfield.
Both teams will be hoping for an improvement in conditions tomorrow with Sussex needing 241 runs and Hampshire nine wickets to claim a victory that would ease any fears both counties have of being dragged into a relegation battle.
