No one did more than Ollie Robinson and Jack Carson to try and stave off Sussex's first Championship defeat this week.

In the eight-wicket defeat to Surrey the pair contributed 290 of Sussex's 635 runs and took five of the 12 wickets. They were quite the double act, especially in the first innings when their record-breaking ninth-wicket stand dug their side out of a hole largely of their own making.

Carson has 298 runs this season and Robinson 287. Only Tom Price (308) is above them.
