Nottingham vs Sussex – County Championship Division One – Notts take control after bowling out Sussex on 171
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sussex-c852, bowling out the visitors on a lowly 171 and ending day 1 on 88 for 1 at Trent Bridge, on July 27, 2012.
Disappointed to miss out on the finals day of the Friends Life T20 competition, Notts however, went about their business in a defiant manner, hoping to further cement their place at the top of the Division One table.
Their endeavours were helped by Sussex, who opted to bat first on a seamer friendly track. The wickets were shared by the Notts pace attack, all of whom chipped in with at least two scalps.
The visiting side had weathered out the first 11 overs, despite posting just 22, before the change in bowling brought Notts their first breakthrough, courtesy the ever reliable http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ed-Joyce-c1417 lbw for 7.

Hales, whose exploits have dried out in the recent matches, was guilty of dropping two chances of Wells, who went onto score an important half-century for the visitors. He got support from Ben Brown for the six-wicket, following the quick dismissals of Michael Yardy and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LJ-Wright-c1841.
The partnership was broken by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andy-Carter-c1046, including that of the Brown, whose 37 remained the second best individual score.
With the track still true for stroke making, Notts began their reply aggressively, going at four runs per over. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Amjad-Khan-c44095.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Lumb-c1981 and Wessels accumulated steadily, ending unbeaten on 28 and 38 respectively.
