A rain effected opening day for the Tykes and not a good one. Joe Sayers came in for Anthony McGrath but he didn't last long going for 6, following Andrew Gale 0, back to the pravilion.

SUSSEX V YORKSHIRE - DAY 3
An unbeaten half century from Adil Rashid (54 not out, 91 balls, 5 fours) was the only bright note for Yorkshire as they were bowled out for 247, Mushtaq 5 for 89.
Inevitably Yorkshire were asked to follow on and for those who thought the second innings couldn't be worse than the first they were sadly wrong. Vaughan went to Naved for 5, then Andrew Gale fell for 16, 33 for 2. McGrath and Inzamam threatened resistance but with the score on 51 Jason Lewry struck. He trapped McGrath lbw for 20 (78 balls) and then two runs later bowled Rudolph for 1. Brophy made 3 before falling to Saqlain and then Lewry was back in the wickets to take the big wicket of Inzamam caught by Montgomerie for 22 (47 balls). Saqlain then had Tim Bresnan lbw for 0, then Naved was brought back into the attack. He struck immediately as the in form Rashid edged to Montgomerie at slip to be dismissed for 10, 83 for 8, it soon became nine down when Naved flattened Hoggard's stumps for 0. Tahir made a signal before Naved hit the stumps to bowl Yorkshire out for 89 and a defeat by an innings and 261 runs. Four wickets for Naved, three for Lewry and Saqlain.

SUSSEX V YORKSHIRE - DAY 2
A decent start to the day for Yorkshire, Martin-Jenkins moved to 49 before Hoggard found the edge of his bat, Rudolph did the rest at slip. Yorkshire looked to be in a position to run through Sussex's long tail but that wasn't the case and the morning was a disaster for the White Rose as Hodd and Naved smashed the ball to all parts. The pair took the score until 500 at a good rate before Naved hit the ball straight to Inzamam off Bresnan after making 46 (49 balls). The carnage continued into the afternoon as Sussex batsman continued to dominate. Sussex's keeper Hodd going through to a maiden championship century. He finally went when he skyed Rashid to Hoggard for 123 (219 balls, 12 fours) at that point came the declaration on 597 for 8. Saqlain was 57 not out (94 balls). Adil Rashid 3 for 136, Hoggard 2 for 75 and Bresnan 2 for 104.
Andrew Gale hit the first ball of the Yorkshire innings to the boundry and both he and Vaughan started in positive mode. The score reached 31 when Vaughan was dismissed by Lewry for 8. Gale and McGrath maintained a run rate at over 4 an over for the Tykes and looked in command of the bowling; but with the last ball before tea McGrath fell to Mushtaq for 31 (52 balls, 5 fours) leaving Yorkshire 79 for 2.
Inzamam came in at number 4 and a battle of two great Pakistani players commenced. Unfortunately it was won by Mushtaq who dismissed Inzamam for 8. Jacques Rudolph came in and played some classy drives, he and Gale moved the score on to 118 before Rudolph was caught off Martin-Jenkins for 23 (34 balls, 4 fours). Things then got worse for the Tykes when a loose drive by Brophy saw him caught off Martin-Jenkins for 0. Tim Bresnan went for 9 but Adil Rashid and Amjal Shahzad ensured there were no further disasters before the close. Mushtaq ended the day with 4 for 66 as Yorkshire closed on 188 for 7.

SUSSEX V YORKSHIRE - DAY 1
Injury deprived Yorkshire of Darren Gough, Amjal Shahzad came into the side and he picked up an early wicket having Nash lbw for 1. Sussex then took command with a partnership of 178 for the second wicket between Yardy and Montgomerie. Bresnan finally getting the breakthrough in the afternoon bowling Montgomerie for 78 (140 balls). Yardy played some fine shots, Imran Tahir bowled well for Yorkshire but without luck on his debut. Yardy completed his century but with the pitch already taking spin he was next out, falling to Adil Rashid for 119 (218 balls, 17 fours). Murray Goodwin settled in well and looked in ominous form but after he moved to 47, Rashid struck again having him caught by Rudolph. Chris Adams made a rapid 46 (53 balls) until he became Hoggard's first victim to leave Sussex a commanding 331 for 5 and as Hodd and Martin-Jenkins batted out the day they were 386 for 5 at the close.
SUSSEX V YORKSHIRE - PREVIEW
With two matches to play Yorkshire still sit at the top of the Championship but are set to face a very tough test when they visit defending Champions Sussex at Hove.

Yorkshire have fitness doubts over captain Darren Gough and paceman Amjal Shahzad, who bowled so well at the corresponding fixture at Headingley earlier in the season. England's Michael Vaughan and Matthew Hoggard both play.
Squad: Vaughan, Gale, McGrath, Inzaman Ul Haq, Rudolph, Brophy, Rashid, Bresnan, Gough, Imran Tahir, Hoggard, Shahzad, Pyrah & Wainwright.
Sussex are in form and are led by Chris Adams. There bowling attack is led by Mushtaq and Saqlain, so a spinners pitch must be on the cards but there pace attack headed by Rana Naved is more than useful.
