James Coles makes a career-best 224 not out as Sussex take control of their match against Glamorgan. Sussex batters set a large first-innings total, and after their innings Glamorgan are left facing a steep target to avoid defeat. By the close of play, Glamorgan are 42 without loss, trailing by 324 runs and requiring another 324 to prevent an innings defeat. Both reports agree that Coles’ unbeaten innings is the key feature of Sussex’s performance, with his score standing out as his best in first-class cricket to date. Glamorgan’s early reply leaves them with little immediate trouble, as they have not lost a wicket, but they remain well short of the runs needed to erase the deficit. The situation means Sussex remain in a commanding position, with Coles continuing to anchor the innings and Sussex maintaining a significant margin heading into the next period of play.
