Tom Haines should be able to bat on Monday as tired and weary Sussex attempt to stave off defeat against Surrey at The Oval.
Haines only lasted two balls in the first innings on Friday but he fared a lot worse when Sussex began their second dig on Sunday 264 in arrears and with four sessions left to try and avoid their first Championship defeat of the season.
Matthew Fisher's first ball from the Vauxhall End spat off a length and hit Haines flush on the grille. Haines staggered off the pitch as a concerned Fisher, and the Surrey slip cordon, came rushing to his aid before the physios arrived and Haines was led off the field.
