SUBSCRIBE NOW!Since 2021, Archer, aged 30, has been away from first-class cricket due to various injuries. He wasn’t available for the first Test at Headingley whilst recovering from a thumb fracture sustained during the recent Indian Premier League.“Joff’s trucking on really well, actually. The plans for him, he’s playing a few second-team games,” Wright said.“The plan is for him to play a few second team games, loading up in the second team for Sussex. And then the idea for him is to play for Sussex against Durham during the first Test.“So, he’ll play for Sussex if all things go well, and then if all things go well fingers crossed he should be available for the second Test,” added Wright, who previously played alongside Archer at Sussex.“Like anything with all these bowlers, he’s got to keep ticking things off everyday with no setbacks but if all goes well and he gets through that Durham game then he’s available potentially for selection for that second Test.”The thumb injury resulted in Archer’s absence from England’s ODI series against the West Indies between May 29 and June 3.

Why no Shreyas Iyer for England tour? Coach Gautam Gambhir opens up Wright indicated that Wood could potentially return for the final Tests of the India series.“I think Woody’s now started bowling just lightly, to be honest. He’s just off a few paces, but that’s been a great sign,” Wright said.“So, he’s on the road to recovery. I think he’s more long-term, if we can get him back, he might have an option for the fourth or fifth Test. But again, each day it’s ticking off each box and making sure he’s okay,” the former England batter stated.

Middlesex vs Sussex, T20BLAST, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Middlesex vs Sussex𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 29,Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 22:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Lord’s Cricket Ground, United Kingdom, United Kingdom 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2025 Sussex have had the upper hand against Middlesex in recent T20 Blast matchups, taking four wins from their last five clashes. Middlesex vs Sussex TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MID vs SUS Match Prediction & Analysis The T20 Blast returns with a brand-new season and promises plenty of action-packed cricket. The South Group begins with Middlesex taking on Sussex at the iconic Lord’s on opening day. Middlesex had a terrible campaign last year and will be desperate to turn things around. Sussex, on the other hand, had a strong showing in the previous edition, making it to the semifinals, and will be aiming to go one step further this time. TEAMS PREVIEW Middlesex Preview Middlesex had a miserable run last season, finishing second-last in the South Group with just three wins out of 14. They’ve got ground to cover and questions to answer as the new season begins. Middlesex have lost Martin Andersson, who topped their run charts last season, to Derbyshire. But they’ve landed a major name in Kane Williamson—one of the most respected batters of this generation. Williamson’s T20 numbers are impressive: 6675 runs in 250 innings at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 122.45, adding serious weight to their middle-order. He’ll line up alongside Leus du Plooy, Max Holden, and Jack Davies. Davies finished as Middlesex’s second-highest scorer in the previous Blast, piling up 214 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 128. Holden wasn’t far behind, scoring 188 in 10 games while going at 161. Stevie Eskinazi is expected to captain the side again, and there’s a lot riding on his performances at the top. Ryan Higgins could also play a big role—he chipped in with 166 runs from 12 matches last season and picked up 9 wickets. Sussex Preview Sussex put together an impressive campaign last year, taking second place in the South Group with nine wins from 14. They edged past Lancashire in the quarter-final but fell short in the semi-final against Gloucestershire, who went on to lift the trophy. This year, the squad looks nearly unchanged, so another solid campaign looks likely. Daniel Hughes will once again be the main man with the bat. He led the batting charts last year in the T20 Blast, with 596 runs in 16 innings, averaging close to 40 and striking at 168. James Coles, Harrison Ward, and Tom Alsop were all consistent contributors too, each finishing the season with over 330 runs. Together, they round out a dependable top and middle-order. With the ball, Sussex will look to Tymal Mills and James Coles for early wickets. Mills took 24 last season, while Coles picked up 20, making them the most productive bowlers in the squad. Ollie Robinson and Brad Currie are the other two expected to keep things steady through the middle and late overs. Weather Conditions Lord’s offers a true surface with consistent bounce and carry. Pacers get movement early, but spinners can control the middle overs if they vary pace smartly. Boundaries are longer square, shorter straight, so angles matter. It’s not a batting paradise, but totals of 160–180 are competitive if bowlers hit the right lengths. Expect a fair contest. The weather in London will be mostly cloudy with chances of a shower or two in the afternoon, which could affect the start of the game. MID vs SUS Pitch Report The average score batting first at Lord’s is 171. The highest total posted here in the T20 Blast is Essex’s 237-6 in the 2023 edition. Both teams will be eyeing a score of around 180 to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bowl Out of the 44 domestic T20 matches held at Lord’s, 25 have gone in favor of the team batting first. However, with cloud cover expected, both sides may choose to bowl first, hoping to grab a few early wickets while conditions still offer some help.

Yorkshire vs Sussex, County Championship Two, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Yorkshire vs Sussex 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : Aug 22, 2024 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : County Championship Two 2024 Can Yorkshire suss out a plan to stop table toppers Sussex at home? Will Sussex’s impressive run continue? England vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. YOR vs SUS Match Prediction & Analysis A fresh round of the Division 2 County Championship gets underway this Thursday with several teams in action and our focus is on Yorkshire’s duel with Sussex at Scarborough. Heading into the final five games of this year’s competition, Sussex is comfortably placed at the top of the tree with 150 points, 23 clear of the second-placed Middlesex, whereas Yorkshire is not very far off with 123 points. Five wins and three draws from nine matches has allowed Sussex to solidify its place at the top, whereas, Yorkshire, with just two wins and five draws so far has done incredibly well to keep pace with the leaders. Sussex will be hoping to put in another dominant display to extend its lead at the top, whereas Yorkshire will be determined to close down the gap with Sussex just five matches to go. TEAMS PREVIEW Yorkshire Preview With five matches to go before the season comes to an end, Yorkshire will be hoping to put their best foot forward, as they get set to take on the table-toppers Sussex. Shan Masood has left for international duty, and wicket-keeper batsman Jonathan Tattersall will most likely be taking the reins in the Pakistani’s absence. Sussex Preview Sussex are having an excellent run, winning five and drawing three of their nine matches so far. Their only loss of the competition came against Glamorgan back in May, a good three months ago. They’ll head into this final leg of the competition, their confidence surging. Weather Conditions One of those high-scoring venues on the county scene , the Scarborough surface offers a lot of assistance to batsmen, especially in the first couple of days. Teams generally look to draw out their first innings and pile on the runs with an aim to post an imposing total on the board – usually over 425 runs. It’s not that bowlers don’t get a look-in at all on this deck. Bowlers ready to bend their backs can extract enough from the wicket to trouble the batsmen, as the wicket starts deteriorating. Weather doesn’t look too encouraging, with light rain and windy conditions in prospect for three days. YOR vs SUS Pitch Report The North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough in North Yorkshire will be hosting this contest. The hosts have improved their record here avoiding a defeat in the last three matches. They couldn’t quite tap the home advantage here in 2022 and lost both their matches, resulting in their relegation to Division 2.
