Four out of six teams from Group 3 were supposed to be in action on Day 1 of the sixth round of the County Championship. Let us have a look at how it went for them.

Sussex vs Kent, Hove

Kent 145 (Leaning 63; Robinson 3-29) lead Sussex 51/2 (Thomason 21; Gilchrist 1-4) by 94 runs

Jofra Archer picked up 2-29 on his return as Sussex bowled out Kent for 145. His wickets, of skipper Daniel Bell-Drummond (2) and then Zak Crawley (7), came in the first eight overs. Kent never recovered from the blow.

Seamers Ollie Robinson and George Garton also claimed three wickets apiece, while off-spinner Jack Carson has had two to his name.

However, Kent managed to remove Sussex openers Aaron Thomason (21) and Tom Haines (14) before bad light stopped play.

Glamorgan vs Yorkshire, Cardiff
