Sussex 282 for 6 (Goodwin 108, Yardy 88) v Warwickshire
Scorecard

Murray Goodwin struck his first century of the season but Sussex were kept in check by a disciplined Warwickshire bowling performance. Goodwin and Michael Yardy (88) added 164 for the third wicket as Sussex progressed to 199 for 2. But Warwickshire struck back during the final session to leave the game evenly poised. Heath Streak claimed the important scalp of Yardy, who has now made 370 runs at 61 this season, before snapping up Robin Martin-Jenkins near the end of play. Streak conceded less than two runs an over and also had a hand in Goodwin's dismissal, as he snaffled a catch in the covers from an attempted pull. Warwickshire made early inroads into the Sussex batting as Dewald Pretorius trapped Richard Montgomerie lbw. Neil Carter ended Ian Ward's painful 70-minute stay - worth just three runs - via an Alex Loudon slip catch. Surprisingly, Warwickshire's leading wicket-taker, Ashey Giles, was only asked to bowled 11 overs on the opening day, despite his season tally of 24 wickets at 18 apiece.
