Hughes adds to the century makers, but Sussex could be in an even better position against Leicestershire

Australian opener is the sixth batsman to make a hundred this season, but his was one of several soft dismissals on day 2 against Leicestershire.

It is an oddity of the Sussex season that they have come up with a century maker – and a different one -  in every Championship match they have played this season. 

In the opening game of the season it was Tom Clark, who scored 101 against Leicestershire. Then Jack Leaning scored an unbeaten 120 against Warwickshire before John Simpson hit 136 against Yorkshire.

In the last match, against Surrey at The Oval, there were two, Ollie Robinson’s 100 not out and Jack Carson’s 105.
