- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.2 trapped in front looking to work to leg, Sussex get the breakthrough after a 49-run opening stand. Success for Lamb, who has caused a few problems nibbling it around from the Sea End 49/150.1 angled across, Charlesworth has a nibble... and edged behind! Seales goes bombing off towards gully as Charlesworth drags himself away. He's played well but tempted into a fateful feel outside off 171/415.6 pitched up and Price drives... nicked to slip! Lamb gets another. Full and inviting, just holds its line, and second slip scoops a low catch 61/249.2 squared up and trapped in front - up goes the finger! Some turn from a length for Carson and Hammond misjudges the line looking to defend. Looked pretty adjacent 167/363.5 full, nipping back, struck on the pads - given! Van Buuren looked as he if thought he'd got outside the line but it was tight. First wicket of the day for Hudson-Prentice 218/573.1 tossed up and spinning sharply into the stumps! Carson strikes first ball back, beating Price's forward lunge on the inside 264/6Extras27 (b 1, lb 20, nb 6)TOTAL417 all out (108.5 Overs, RR: 3.83)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Cameron Bancroft, 11.2 ov), 2-61 (Oliver Price, 15.6 ov), 3-167 (Miles Hammond, 49.2 ov), 4-171 (Ben Charlesworth, 50.1 ov), 5-218 (Graeme van Buuren, 63.5 ov), 6-264 (Tom Price, 73.1 ov), 7-307 (James Bracey, 85.5 ov), 8-308 (Dominic Goodman, 86.6 ov), 9-394 (Zafar Gohar, 105.5 ov), 10-417 (Ajeet Singh Dale, 108.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR77.4 over the wicket, tossed up and sliding into the front pad - given! Hammond's vigil is over, Sussex break through. Just pitched in line with leg stump and went on straight 166/785.1 chipped straight to cover! Zafar goes tamely after holding Sussex at bay for so long. First ball back and Seales breaks the ninth-wicket stand 205/977.6 two in the balls, Carson goes bang, bang! This one spins inside Goodman's forward defensive and raps the front pad. No hesitation from the umpire, Mark Newell 166/885.2 edged to slip, Seales wraps up the innings in two balls!

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 some turn for Gohar, and Clark has popped it to short leg! Good diving catch from Bancroft, Gloucestershire strike early in this small chase 17/113.2 Haines charges past one to be stumped! Beaten on the inside by a smidge of turn, Bracey does the rest. Gohar has a third, with Sussex looking to get the job done 60/35.6 goes back, Alsop hit on the pads as the ball spins in at him - given! Was it doing too much? Mark Newell doesn't think so.
