Callum Turner (“Eternity”) portrays Owen, a pizza shop owner whose long-term girlfriend decides she wants to sleep with other people on this holy night. The two strangers keep running into each other during 12 hours of messy mayhem in New York City.

Survival games have been wildly popular for years now. I’ve dabbled here and there to see what the fuss is about, but I’ve always fallen off after a few hours. Usually, I get tangled up in one meagerly explained system after another until I lose track of what I’m supposed to do, and my time with the game peters out.

At Chesterfield, Northamptonshire reached 259-8 from their 50 overs thanks to contributions from opener Luke Proctor (53), captain Nathan McSweeney (49) and George Bartlett (55).

It became increasingly apparent, though, that the visitors were short as Nottinghamshire's chase wore on, despite losing opener Ben Martindale for 18 and Tayyab Tahir for eight.
