Ben Coad	21.3	8	54	5	2.51	105	8	0	0	0
37.5 to TGR Clark, cleaned him up! Clark is beaten by one coming in from round the wicket, as Coad plucks out a fourth for Yorkshire. Sussex's No. 5 was looking to defend, but loses his off stump in emphatic fashion. 124/4 81.1 to FJ Hudson-Prentice, pitched up, entices the drive... and second slip gobbles the edge! Hudson-Prentice goes in the second over with the new ball, Coad ending a 61-run stand. 279/6 85.1 to OJ Carter, length outside off, finds the edge! Carter departs now, the second new ball talking for Yorkshire. Decent knock from the Sussex wicketkeeper but he didn't manage to get going again today. 302/8 85.5 to OE Robinson, pitched up, Robinson feels for it... and squirts an edge to second slip! Coad picks up another, and Sussex have lost 3 for 2 in the space of six balls. 304/9 103.3 to JJ Carson, full, straight and given! Coad has his five-for, as Carson plays around a straight on and Yorkshire have finally wrapped the innings up. 361/10
Matthew Fisher	20	6	81	1	4.05	89	14	0	0	0
84.6 to N McAndrew, nicked him off! Fisher finally has something to be cheerful about. Excellent line and just doing enough to move away on off stump and tickle the edge through to Hope. 302/7
Jordan Thompson	18	4	72	2	4.00	82	13	0	0	0
12.5 to AGH Orr, gone, taken at third slip! Strange dismissal as Orr aimed a pull, possibly got an inside edge into his pads, and the ball ballooned towards the cordon, where Finlay Bean held a straightforward catch. 48/1 36.4 to CA Pujara, gottim this time! Straighter line and it beats him on the inside, up goes the finger! Thompson clenches his fists in celebration, that's a big breakthrough for Yorkshire. 123/3 See all photos
Mickey Edwards	19	2	63	0	3.31	86	9	0	0	0
Dom Bess	17	3	60	1	3.52	73	8	1	0	0
20.3 to TJ Haines, given out lbw! Haines doesn't look too pleased, holding his bat to his head as he stalks from the field... Was there some inside edge? He propped forward, looked to be hit on the knee roll, and up went the finger. Bess has a much-needed breakthrough for Yorkshire. 83/2
George Hill	7	1	23	1	3.28	33	3	0	0	0
64.2 to TP Alsop, short ball, there to be hit... but Alsop has holed out on 95! Hill is mobbed by his Yorkshire team-mates, his second ball of the day bringing the breakthrough straight after tea. Alsop can't believe it, but off he must go. 218/5

Ollie Robinson	15	3	52	1	3.46	72	6	0	0	5
44.6 to GCH Hill, bowled 'im! Joy for Robinson, who jogs off with his arms spread after bringing the ball back between bat and pad to rattle Hill's woodwork. 158/5
Nathan McAndrew	16	1	67	2	4.18	66	8	0	0	2
14.2 to A Lyth, gone, Lyth lbw playing no shot! Sussex get the breakthrough after an hour of slog. The ball was coming back in from round the wicket, and although Lyth lingered, it didn't take Rob White too long to make his decision. 52/1 66.6 to MD Fisher, Fisher has a hack, taken by the diving Pujara at mid-on! Coos of delight around the ground, looked a top take - and this Yorkshire innings is almost done. 239/9
Fynn Hudson-Prentice	9	2	28	0	3.11	42	5	0	0	0
Henry Crocombe	10	4	49	2	4.90	39	4	3	0	0
19.4 to Saud Shakeel, bowled him, flicks the off bail with Shakeel looking to leave! Beautifully bowled by Crocombe, coming back on off stump and just the right length to have the Pakistan batter in two minds. Shakeel walks off for just 3 on Yorkshire debut. 65/2 54.4 to DM Bess, dug in short, Bess takes on the pull... and is caught superbly by deep midwicket running in! Carson is the man out there, he dives to hold on, and Yorkshire are six down late in the day. 198/6
Tom Haines	3	0	8	0	2.66	13	1	0	0	0
Jack Carson	21	2	79	5	3.76	92	2	6	0	1
37.6 to FJ Bean, tossed up, Bean has a dart... and it's given! Carter claimed the catch and also attempted the stumping, though it didn't look as if he disturbed the bails. But there must have been an edge, as caught behind is the decision. Bean departs one short of a half-century. 136/3 41.4 to DJ Malan, chopped on, Carson has another! Malan was looking to cut but the ball ended up staying low, deflecting off the bottom edge into off stump. 147/4 57.2 to SD Hope, bowled 'im, Hope is done by a grubber! Playing back on off, the ball keeps low and rattles off stump to put Sussex firmly on top. 216/7 61.2 to JA Thompson, gone, trapped in front! Carson has a fourth and Yorkshire are eight down. Tossed up delivery, straightening on middle and leg, good enough for umpire Neil Pratt. 223/8 73.6 to BO Coad, bowled 'im! Carson ends the fun and completes his five-for. Very handy runs from Coad, though, bringing the deficit for Yorkshire down to just 63. 298/10

BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Ben Coad	10	1	30	1	3.00	48	5	0	0	0
10.5 to TP Alsop, fired in straight, and given! Alsop is gone first ball, second wicket of the Coad over - and the bowler can claim this one. Alsop definitely shuffled in front of his stumps, although his reaction suggested he wasn't too chuffed with the decision. 42/2
Matthew Fisher	8	1	30	2	3.75	34	4	0	0	0
30.3 to FJ Hudson-Prentice, gottim, pinned on the crease! Fullish from Fisher and Hudson-Prentice plays around it, easy decision for the umpire... and that ends an handy stand for Sussex, with things still in the balance. 105/6 32.2 to N McAndrew, length ball, nibbling in and that's another one down! Fisher hits the pads and umpire Pratt raises his finger again. Sussex in all sorts of trouble now. 107/7
Dom Bess	16.1	4	36	3	2.22	77	2	1	0	0
19.3 to TGR Clark, skidding on, rapped on the pads - given! Yorkshire have taken 3 for 5 in four overs, and this game has come to life once again. Bess has bottled up an end and now he extends Tom Clark's poor start to the season by getting on to straight just a touch from round the wicket. 66/5 35.3 to JJ Carson, hit on the back leg, given! Carson won't be pilfering vital tail-end runs today. Beaten by one going on with the arm - looked close on whether he'd got outside the line, but umpire White triggers him. 118/8 43.1 to OJ Carter, tossed up on off, Carter sweeps and misses... up goes the finger, and Sussex are all out! Bess claims a third, and Yorkshire will need 201 to win here in Hove. 137/10
Jordan Thompson	5	1	23	2	4.60	22	5	0	0	0
16.2 to TJ Haines, tight line, Haines is tempted to drive on the up - and nicks behind! Yorkshire still scrapping away here. Thompson gets this in a good area from over the wicket, and the edge was audible as his bottom hand came off the bat. 61/3 18.4 to CA Pujara, trapped in front, Thompson has got Pujara again! Very similar dismissal to the first innings, albeit from the other end. Angling in, beaten on the inside and struck in front. Up goes the finger, and Sussex nerves might be beginning to jangle. 66/4
