Scorecard

Stiaan van Zyl’s ton put Sussex in charge as they earned a first innings lead of 196 over Glamorgan, at 481-9.

Van Zyl hit 17 boundaries in his superb 113 off 153 balls.

George Garton’s aggressive career-best 97 took the game further away from Glamorgan after a mid-innings wobble.

Openers Tom Haines (87) and Aaron Thomason (67) made vital contributions too to emphasise the favourable batting conditions as Sussex reached 212-1 before Glamorgan fought back.

Michael Hogan (3-46) was the pick of the Glamorgan attack.
