Ravi Rampaul taken to hospital

Derbyshire are down to ten. They are lacking their portly West Indian seamer, Ravi Rampaul, who was driven back north on the third day for further medical checks after complaining of breathing difficulties in the field on the first day.

Rampaul's absence left their bowling attack as breakable as old plates on a summer fete stall on a sedate surface which Sussex will hope assists their spinners on the final day. Salt took a particular liking to the New Zealand quick, Lockie Ferguson, who bore the brunt of his early assault whether he bowled uphill or down, tried round-the-wicket short stuff or resorted to T20-style survival bowling in a desperate attempt to quell the assault.
