Northants opener Duckett made to wait for triple century chance against Sussex

Rain seeped under the covers following heavy overnight rain leaving several very damp areas of the outfield, including the bowler’s run up at the Wantage Road end.

The umpires gave the ground every chance to dry out but with temperatures remaining cool and with little wind or sunshine, there was no improvement throughout the afternoon and play was called off shortly before 4pm.
