  • Sussex CCC Vs. Warwickshire Specsavers County Championship - Division Two the 1St Central County Ground, Hove Tuesday 18Th – Friday 21St September 2018
    Sussex CCC vs. Warwickshire Specsavers County Championship - Division Two The 1st Central County Ground, Hove Tuesday 18th – Friday 21st September 2018 Day One Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott made Sussex's bowlers toil and put second division leaders Warwickshire in a strong position on day one of their Specsavers County Championship match at The 1st Central County Ground. Bell scored his fifth Championship hundred against the county and Trott is in sight of his sixth against Sussex in his final away game before retirement. Together they helped Warwickshire reach 308 for 2 at stumps. Bell will resume on 108 and Trott 86 after they shared 206 in 68 overs for the third wicket. A draw would seal an immediate return to the top flight with a game to spare for Warwickshire and Bell and Trott made sure they didn’t waste the advantage of winning the toss and batting first on a slow pitch expected to turn later on. Dom Sibley and Will Rhodes laid solid foundations with a stand of 96 for the first wicket and although both fell just before lunch that proved to be the most productive part of the day for Sussex’s attack who were blunted by a combination of the pitch and Bell and Trott’s enduring excellence. They came together after Sibley and Rhodes had departed in the space of 15 balls. Sibley (44) was rightly furious with himself when he squandered a good start by picking out mid-wicket after coming down the pitch to drive left-arm spinner Danny Briggs - making the 100th appearance of his first-class career - only to get a thick inside edge straight to Michael Burgess at mid-wicket.
