County Championship: Durham v Sussex – Visitors edge ahead

Resuming on 249-5 and still 112 short of Sussex’s 361, Durham had seen Graham Clark go on to a half-century before he gloved behind a short ball from Ollie Robinson to be out for 51.

But their chances of taking a first innings lead disappeared thanks to a series of rash strokes from the lower order as they lost their last four wickets for 26.

George Drissell fell for eight as he was caught in the deep, taking on a short ball from Sandhu, while Ben Raine departed for 10, caught driving the same bowler to extra cover.

Matthew Potts (two) was caught behind off an excellent delivery from Robinson before last man Sam Conners tried to take on a short ball from Sandhu and gloved it behind to be out for seven.

It left the 32-year-old with a five-wicket haul on his Sussex debut and stole the headlines from Jofra Archer.

In his return to red-ball cricket, the England fast bowler finished with 1-32 from 18 economical overs.

Although he did not take a wicket on day three, he generated good pace and showed no ill effects of bowling on consecutive days.
