Tom Haines has scored centuries in both of his County Championship innings this season
Vitality County Championship Division One, Leicester (day two) |
Leicestershire: 338 Patel 87; Hudson-Prentice 5-50 |
Sussex 282-6: Haines 108; Salisbury 3-43 |
Sussex (4 pts) trail Leicestershire (4 pts) by 56 runs |
Sussex opener Tom Haines posted his second century of the season after all-rounder Fynn Hudson-Prentice had taken a career-best 5-50 to leave their County Championship match against Leicestershire nicely balanced at the halfway stage.
Sussex closed on 282-6 at Leicester in reply to the hosts' 338 all out, trailing by 56.
Haines, who toured with England Lions the winter before last, had a relatively lean season in 2023. But he followed his 133 against Northamptonshire in the opening round with 108.
As Sussex dominated the first half of the day, Haines shared a second-wicket partnership of 168 with fellow left-hander Tom Alsop, who made 49.
But Leicestershire's bowlers performed better as the afternoon progressed.
They then earned a significant late breakthrough when Tom Scriven produced the ball of the day to bowl Cheteshwar Pujara for 38 before Matt Salisbury (3-43) dismissed Hudson-Prentice with the last ball of the day.
