Sussex 298 for 9 (Hamilton-Brown 77, Thomas 4-67) lead Somerset 76 (Magoffin 8-20) by 222 runs
Scorecard
Somerset were left facing a major headache after another batting collapse left them staring a third defeat of the season after just the first day at Horsham. Having dominated champions Warwickshire at Taunton at the end of April, they now resemble relegation candidates rather than title challengers.
Director of cricket Dave Nosworthy admitted Somerset have an issue after his side were routed for just 76 by Steve Magoffin's career-best 8 for 20. They lasted only 23.4 overs as Magoffin ran through them, including a blast of five wickets in 13 balls.
