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.
