County Championship, Hove game in balance, Essex hold up Yorkshire - radio & text
Essex 191-4 (target 520) v Yorks
There are a minimum of 40 overs remaining at Chelmsford, which should be plenty of time for Yorkshire to pick up six wickets.
But they haven't taken one since the 17th over of this Essex innings last night - more than 66 overs ago - and Ben Coad and Jack White really need to make something happen quickly with this second new ball.
Matt Critchley has just edged ahead of partner Michael Pepper again, with 65 runs to the latter's 64.

South Africa spinner Subrayen cited for suspect bowling action
MELBOURNE, Aug 21 (Reuters) - South Africa spinner Prenelan Subrayen has been reported for a suspect bowling action in the first ODI against Australia, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said. The ICC said match officials reported concerns about the legality of the off-spinner's action during his ODI debut in Cairns on Tuesday where he took 1-46 in the Proteas' 98-run win. Subrayen must undergo an independent assessment of his action at an ICC-accredited testing facility within 14 days. He can continue bowling until the results of his test are known. Bowlers are permitted 15 degrees of elbow extension while delivering the ball. Reuters contacted Cricket South Africa for comment. The 31-year-old Subrayen has a record of bowling illegally in domestic and T20 cricket. He was suspended from bowling in domestic cricket in late-2015 after failing an assessment but was cleared to resume after another test a few months later. He was also suspended in late-2012 over his action but cleared to bowl again in early-2013 after remedial work. Subrayen made his test cricket debut last month against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, picking up four first-innings wickets.

Bournemouth rekindle interest in Chelsea star as Blues look to contiue offloading players as the transfer window draws to a close
Bournemouth have rekindled interest in another Chelsea star after signing goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic earlier in the window. The Blues are in the midst of a wholesale clear-out as they look to redress the balance in Enzo Maresca 's squad after another summer of spending. Among the arrivals at Stamford Bridge this summer are forwards Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, and Jamie Gittens. Other recruits include Dario Essugo from Sporting Lisbon, and Ajax academy star Jorrel Hato. Maresca also welcomed Estevao Willian after the Palmieras teenager signed for the club last summer, but were unable to work with him due to restrictions over his age. But with the incomings, a number of players have been earmarked for outgoings, including Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell. *18+, excludes NI. Terms and conditions apply And the Cherries could yet take another star off Maresca's hands, with the club reconsidering a move for defender Axel Disasi. Daily Mail Sport first reported the south coast club's interest in the player earlier this month, but a potential move is thought to be in the early stages, with the two teams working on different solutions. Disasi joined the Blues ahead of the 2023-24 season from Monaco, making 31 Premier League appearances during his debut season. But his playing time decreased with the return of Levi Colwill and Reece James to regular competition limited the majority of his appearances for Chelsea last term to run-outs in the UEFA Conference League. The player signed a loan deal to move to Aston Villa for the second-half of the season, where he made a further 10 appearances in the top division. But the star did not fit Unai Emery's requirements enough to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign. As well as Disasi, the Blues will look to shift a further nine stars before the window shuts in September. Moves have already been agreed for players including Joao Felix, Noni Madueke, Armando Broja, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Kepa Arrizabalaga. Bournemouth are enjoying a strong end to their window after signing Ben Gannon Doak from Liverpool, alongside Petrovic, Bafode Diakite from Lille, and Rennes' Adrien Truffert.
