It is fair to say that Yorkshire are not enjoying their trip to the South of England so far.

After being rolled over against Somerset to lose by ten wickets on Friday, the Tykes are again in trouble in their latest County Championship game against Sussex. The hosts reached the close on day one on a mammoth 295 for two at Hove.

Luke Wells and Murray Goodwin did the damage - with both batsman reaching three figures on a day when the Yorkshire attack was plundered to all parts, despite having three bowlers who have played for England in the last two years.

Things went wrong for the White Rose from the moment they won the toss and elected to field at the County Ground.

Wells was off and running immediately, with the first of his 23 boundaries, before his fellow opener Chris Nash began to impose himself on the game as well.

The two put on 39 for the first-wicket, before Ajmal Shahzad made the first of only two breakthroughs for when he trapped Nash lbw for 16 with a ball that nipped back.

Joe Gatting then came and went quickly for just nine, with Joe Sayers taking a superb catch at cover to give Steve Patterson a wicket, before Wells was joined at the crease by Goodwin to take the game away from Yorkshire.

They were aided with some good fortune early on in the partnership, with both playing and missing on a number of occasions, before they let loose in the final two sessions on a windy and grey day.

By the time the 96 overs were up they had added 217 runs for the third-wicket - just 62 short of the county's record against Yorkshire which has stood since 1953. Wells is unbeaten on a career-best 140 and Goodwin on 108.

Shahzad ended with the Tykes most expensive figures, as he conceded 91 runs from his 22 overs, whilst the fact that none of the attack was able to shine was even more frustrating given the fact that Sussex's most experienced batsman, Ed Joyce, will not play in this game until day three because he is away with the Ireland squad.
