Sussex gave themselves an opportunity to secure a second win of the season that may see them top the County Championship Division Two table after forcing Leicestershire to follow-on.

The home side were dismissed for 270 in reply to Sussex’s 430 on day three at Grace Road, with Ari Karvelas and Fynn Hudson-Prentice taking four wickets each.
