Somerset's spirited resistance in vain as Sussex claim victory
Bristol Post
|April 15, 2025
SUSSEX wore down Somerset's spirited resistance to claim their first win since promotion back to Division One in the Rothesay County Championship.
Needing six wickets on the final day at the 1st Central County Ground, they bowled Somerset out for 334 to win by 260 runs their first top-flight victory for a decade.
It was a commendable final-day effort by an attack depleted by the absence of left-armer Sean Hunt, who took 9-76 in the match but was unable to bowl yesterday because of an injury to his left arm. In addition, off-spinner Jack Carson was troubled by a split spinning finger which needed patching up.
In their absence, West Indies' quick Jayden Seales stepped up. The 23-year-old Trinidadian, who is in his second season at Hove, took two wickets during an outstanding nine-over spell at the start of the day before returning with the new ball to end an eighth-wicket stand of 82 between Lewis Gregory and Migael Pretorious.
