Today, Leicestershire started needing 481 against the same opponents and are 125-5.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/apr\/06\/county-cricket-day-four-leicestershire-v-sussex-somerset-v-notts-and-more-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-69d37eaf8f086bcf9a2a1282&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-69d37eaf8f086bcf9a2a1282&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;County cricket day four: Sussex beat Leicestershire, Glamorgan v Yorkshire, and more \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=County cricket day four: Sussex beat Leicestershire, Glamorgan v Yorkshire, and more \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/apr\/06\/county-cricket-day-four-leicestershire-v-sussex-somerset-v-notts-and-more-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-69d37eaf8f086bcf9a2a1282#block-69d37eaf8f086bcf9a2a1282\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-69d3777c8f086bcf9a2a1249\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1wl2b6o\">Root and Brook to play for Yorkshire<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>News from Yorkshire:<\/strong> Joe Root will play in the Championship games against Sussex, Somerset and Surrey; and Brook will play two games in May, against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/warwickshireccc\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Warwickshire<\/a> and Surrey.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/apr\/06\/county-cricket-day-four-leicestershire-v-sussex-somerset-v-notts-and-more-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-69d3777c8f086bcf9a2a1249&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-69d3777c8f086bcf9a2a1249&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;County cricket day four: Sussex beat Leicestershire, Glamorgan v Yorkshire, and more \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=County cricket day four: Sussex beat Leicestershire, Glamorgan v Yorkshire, and more \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/apr\/06\/county-cricket-day-four-leicestershire-v-sussex-somerset-v-notts-and-more-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-69d3777c8f086bcf9a2a1249#block-69d3777c8f086bcf9a2a1249\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-69d376f88f086bcf9a2a1247\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1wl2b6o\">&#8220;We have to be on it from the first ball&#8221;<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Leicestershire are learning the hard wa<\/strong>y.

Elsewhere, there were brickbats and chocolate eggs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Leicestershire<\/strong> made a of hash of chasing an unlikely 481 against <strong>Sussex<\/strong> on a suddenly sun-dappled late afternoon at Grace Road. Rishi Patel was run out going for an optional second run in the second over, sent packing by a steaming direct hit from a crouching Jack Carson on the long-leg boundary. Wickets then tumbled with clockwork regularity, Jake Weatherald flashed at a delivery from Henry Crocombe, who then dismissed Lewis Hill for a pair. Finally Rehan Ahmed dashed for glory at James Coles, but found infamy, out for 34.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Essex<\/strong> celebrated the first win of the season, thrashing <strong>Hampshire<\/strong> by an innings and 137 runs. Jamie Porter, Sam Cook and Shane Snater ran through Hampshire\u2019s first innings, before Matt Critchley \u2013 who had a match to remember \u2013 snaffled five for nine in 4.3 overs in the follow on, and Simon Harmer, in sunglasses and snood, three for 49.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Middlesex<\/strong>\u2019s Toby Roland-Jones zipped out five for 37 against <strong>Gloucestershire<\/strong>, who were forced to follow on at Lord\u2019s. Leg-spinner Mason Crane pocketed five for <strong>Glamorgan<\/strong> to put them in a great position against <strong>Yorkshire<\/strong>. Will Luxton became the second official ECB injury sub, replacing Jonny Bairstow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Northamptonshire<\/strong>\u2019s Harry Conway made life tricky for the visitors at Wantage Road. At 6ft 7in the Australian pinged the ball like a stale Creme Egg, ripping out the heart of <strong>Lancashire<\/strong>\u2019s second innings, removing Josh Bohannon, George Bell and Michael Jones in one over. However, Tom Bailey (35) and Ajeet Singh Dale (unbeaten on 44) rebuilt, leaving Northants 321 to win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Shoaib Bashir, wind buffeting his trousers, grabbed his first wicket for <strong>Derbyshire<\/strong>, but later cost the club five penalty runs for \u201cdeception\u201d after feigning to throw the ball when fielding. Nineteen-year-old Dan Lategan was <strong>Worcestershire<\/strong>\u2019s mortar with 89 and 43 not out in the follow-on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Somerset<\/strong>\u2019s James Rew left his calling card with a century against <strong>Nottinghamshire<\/strong>; <strong>Surrey<\/strong> are in fix at Edgbaston, still 47 short of innings defeat against <strong>Warwickshire<\/strong>, but on an increasingly generous pitch. Jamie Smith made an unbeaten half century.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\"

sunny morning in Leicester, where squirrels are spring-leaping like disobedient fireworks and I spotted some wild garlic sprouting by the side of a footpath.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">This is day four of the first round of Championship games, with <strong>Essex<\/strong> first to cross the line in 2026, thanks to a innings and more hammering of <strong>Hampshire<\/strong>. Loads more to look out for today, with results likely everywhere except <strong>Taunton<\/strong>. Upstarts <strong>Glamorgan<\/strong> could turn over <strong>Yorkshire<\/strong> on a pitch that Ryan Hadley says will become [even] more spin friendly and <strong>Warwickshire<\/strong> could do the same to <strong>Surrey<\/strong> \u2013 though the pitch is more placid at Edgbaston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><strong>Leicestershire<\/strong>, <strong>Worcestershire<\/strong> and <strong>Gloucestershire<\/strong> all have a fight on their hands to come out of the round with a draw, and keep an eye on the topsy-turvy match at <strong>Wantage Road<\/strong>. They are due to inspect the pitch at <strong>Chester-le-Street<\/strong> shortly to see if any play is possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Things roll into action at 11am, do join us.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\"
