Match scorecard

Sussex opener Tom Haines posted his second century of the season after all-rounder Fynn Hudson-Prentice had taken a career-best 5-50 as their Vitality County Championship match against Leicestershire remained nicely balanced at the halfway stage.

The visiting side closed on 282-6 in reply to Leicestershire’s 338 all out, trailing by 56.

Haines, who toured with England Lions the winter before last but had a relatively lean season in 2023, followed his 133 against Northamptonshire in the opening round with 108, hitting 14 fours and a six.

As Sussex dominated the first half of the day, Haines shared a second-wicket partnership of 168 with his fellow left-hander Tom Alsop, who made 49.

But Leicestershire’s bowlers performed better as the afternoon progressed and earned a significant late breakthrough when Tom Scriven produced the ball of the day to bowl Cheteshwar Pujara for 38 before Matt Salisbury (3-43) dismissed Hudson-Prentice with the last ball of the day.
