Joe Leach took his 400th first-class wicket as Worcestershire dominated Sussex on day one at Hove to boost his side’s slim promotion hopes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Pears realistically need to win all three remaining Division Two games and put themselves in a strong position after dismissing Sussex for 220, with Leach claiming 4-37.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That modest total represented a recovery by Sussex who had been 23-5 before half-centuries by Fynn Hudson-Prentice, James Coles and Jack Carson revived them.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the pitch caused few problems for Worcestershire’s openers Ed Pollock and Jake Libby, who posted 87 without loss before bad light ended play six overs early.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the teams observed a minute’s silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II, Leach took 3-16 in his seven-over new-ball spell to leave Sussex struggling after they had won the toss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ali Orr played-on to Leach’s fifth ball and he pinned Tom Alsop lbw with a full delivery that swung back just enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

A similar length accounted for Tom Clark in Leach’s fourth over as the batter played across the line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dillon Pennington struck with his first ball when he extracted some extra bounce and Oli Carter touched it tamely to the wicketkeeper. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Haines, returning from a broken hand, faced 36 balls and batted for 65 minutes for his two runs but the Sussex captain played on to Ben Gibbon’s second ball.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hudson-Prentice led the recovery and was dropped by Jack Haynes on 36 but added 76 with Coles, before Pennington had him caught behind for 51 after lunch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leach returned and reached his milestone courtesy of a low catch by Haynes off Pakistan all-rounder Faheem Ashraf with the score 106-7.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Sussex’s last three wickets more than doubled the score as Coles progressed to his second half-century of the season before being caught by Azhar Ali off Pennington.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Henry Crocombe holed out to mid off, Carson was last out for 58 when he was run out by Libby’s direct hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pollock gave one chance on 34 but was dropped at slip by Alsop off Haines as Sussex’s seamers failed to find a breakthrough.<\/span><\/p>\n
