Sussex 283 (Nash 132) and 236 for 8 (Nash 64, Brown 42*, van der Gugten 5-73) beat Glamorgan 252 (Archer 4-91) and 263 (Donald 59, Magoffin 3-50) by two wicketsScorecard

A partnership of 55 in nine overs for the eighth wicket between Ben Brown and Danny Briggs enabled Sussex to gain their second Championship win of the season in an grippung finish at Cardiff.

Although Briggs was out for an aggressive 36, Brown and George Garton guided Sussex home with 20 balls remaining. The win lifted Sussex to fourth place but, although they have a game in hand over Essex, they trail by 43 points.

At one stage they had been reduced to 156 for 7 chasing 233 in 62 overs, with Timm van der Gugten taking 5 for 73, his third five-wicket haul of the season, but the eighth-wicket partnership swung the game.
