Round-Up: Sussex fold to Carter's six

The First Division leaders Sussex suffered a miserable afternoon session on the second day of their visit to Warwickshire yesterday.

After bowling the home side out for 375 at Edgbaston, Sussex charged to 82 for 0. But then a remarkable collapse saw them lose five wickets for six runs in 18 balls to seamers Neil Carter and Jimmy Anyon.

Carter took 6 for 63, his best figures with Warwickshire, as all 10 Sussex wickets fell during the session. Chris Adams top scored with 65 as the visitors were out for 246. Warwickshire lost Mark Wagh, Jonathan Trott and Nick Knight but closed on 88 for 3, 217 ahead.

Middlesex's Nick Compton scored a career-best 190 to ensure his side entered the final day with a lead of 204 with three second-innings wickets left against Durham at Lord's. Owais Shah made 57 before Ottis Gibson dismissed Ed Joyce and Jamie Dalrymple. Scott Styris (84) shared a stand of 161 with Compton.
