County Championship: Middlesex v Sussex - Cheteshwar Pujara finds his form

Cheteshwar Pujara hit an unbeaten 91 to help Sussex into a strong position against Middlesex on day one at Lord's.

Cheteshwar Pujara hit form to help Sussex into a strong position against Middlesex as they closed on 295-four after being asked to bat on day one of their County Championship match at Lord's.

Ethan Bamber claimed two wickets for the home side, with Ryan Higgins and Henry Brookes taking one apiece. Higgins pulled off a blinding catch when Tom Alsop edged Brookes to third slip, twisting to his left to clasp a sharp chance just above the turf. Despite some early playing and missing, Simpson settled down with a classy cover-driven boundary off Brookes, keeping Pujara company while he advanced beyond his half-century for the third time this season.
