Goodwin goes

CLOSE: Sussex 113 for 3 (61 overs). Hodd 20, Kirtley 0.

A partnership of 34 runs in 26 overs ended when Rankin, at last brought on for the 60th over of the innings, induced an edge from Goodwin (for 16) to Ambrose with his second delivery.

Thus, the last act of a compelling day goes Warwickshire's way. Just like last season they are finishing the championship season very strongly.

"Thus". What a lovely word.

One of my favourites. Along with "foraging", "brouhaha" and "mary".
