Cricket: Giles Blow Worsens Warwickshire Travails ; Second Day: Warwickshire Trail Sussex by 271 Runs with Five First- Innings Wickets Remaining

There is only so long a side can rely on astounding feats of resistance to bail them out and this game may well prove to be a match too far Giles was unable to take the field yesterday, instead disappearing to hospital for a scan. The results will be known this evening. It is highly unlikely that he will bowl again in this match, but he should be able to bat with a runner.
