Ajmal Shahzad claimed his best first-class figures and what was, remarkably, only the fourth five-for of his career as Sussex rounded up Worcestershire on the final day

Worcestershire favourites after Kervezee's surprise

Oliver, Kervezee give Worcs edge

Richard Oliver's second first-class hundred and aggressive half-centuries from Alexei Kervezee and Gareth Andrew led an impressive Worcestershire response on the second day against Sussex
