Nightwatchman Ed Middleton: Sussex have secured promotion to Division One of the County Championship with a game to spare, after completing a resounding an innings and seven runs victory over Gloucestershire. The dominant performance saw Sussex wrap up their eighth Championship win of the season, securing their return to the top division for the first time in 10 years.
Resuming on 140-3 in their second innings, trailing by 62 runs, Gloucestershire crumbled on the third morning, being bowled out for 195. Sussex's pace duo of Jaydev Unadkat and Henry Crocombe spearheaded the attack, with the Indian pacer finishing with figures of 3-39 and match figures of 7-71, while Crocombe claimed 4-22 in a devastating display of seam bowling.
The win took Sussex to an unassailable lead over Middlesex in Division Two, guaranteeing promotion. The match was over in less than a session on the third day, with Crocombe taking the final wicket just after midday, sparking jubilant scenes of celebration among the Sussex players.
