Sussex posts 393 as Charlie Tear leads batting against Surrey

Sussex reached 393 all out on day two of the Rothesay County Championship match against Surrey at the County Ground in Hove. Charlie Tear anchored the innings with 89 runs, supported by half-centuries from John Simpson and Oli Carter. Surrey bowlers Rahul Chahar and Mahipal Lomror shared six wickets to curb the scoring pace late in the day. The match previously lost the first day to a washout, complicating the pursuit of a result for either side. Sussex successfully navigated a rejigged top order following injuries to Tom Clark and Dan Hughes before the visitors eventually concluded the Sussex innings on the final ball of play. Surrey has yet to begin their first innings.
