Sussex vs Glamorgan

Sussex search to make it three wins in as many matches at Hove in the County Championship this season as Glamorgan travel down to the coast following the Vitality Blast pause. 

A positive start for Paul Farbrace's side with the red ball who, without the 12-point deduction, would be on the same points total as Nottinghamshire at the top of the division. Though with six matches ticked off and only two of those played at Hove, it's been a solid start in the competition.

And despite losing Tom Clark and Fynn Hudson-Prentice to injury - all the while Ollie Robinson puts on a show for England - there is rejuvenation once again in the bowling department with seamers Jaydev Unadkat, Sean Hunt and Dom Goodman all in a red ball squad for the first time this campaign.

Team News

Fresh from claiming Sussex Sharks' most economical T20 figures since 2004 (4-1-9-3), Sean Hunt is back in the red ball squad for the first time since last year having missed the opening third of the season through injury. Tom Alsop, too, features in a County Championship squad for the first time this season, alongside Dom Goodman who, much like Hunt, has been absent with injury since pre-season.

Jaydev Unadkat is back for the fourth consecutive season, this time for the final eight rounds of the County Championship, and slots timely into the squad with Ollie Robinson away on international duty with England.

Tom Clark will be out for 8-10 weeks with a knee injury, with Fynn Hudson-Prentice also an absentee through injury.

Squad: Alsop, Carson, Carter, Coles, Crocombe, Goodman, Haines, Hughes, Hunt, Leaning, Price, Simpson, Tear, Unadkat.

The Opposition

It's been a strong start for Glamorgan on their return to Division One for the first time since 2018, with the Welsh-based county currently occupying third position - four points ahead of Sussex.

Important wins over Somerset and Hampshire have put Richard Dawson's side in fine stead as we take a pause from the white ball stuff, as they make the trip down to Hove for red ball cricket for the first time since September 2024 - Sussex claiming an empathic innings victory on their way to the Division Two title.

Kiran Carlson has enjoyed early success out in the middle, racking up 542 runs at an average of 54.20. Asa Tribe, Ben Kellaway and Sean Dickson have all added healthy runs, too, with Colin Ingram also impressing, though he could miss out having only featured in the opening Vitality Blast match.

With the ball, Timm van der Gugten and Ryan Hadley have been most effective for Glamorgan combining for 43 wickets after the opening six-match block.
