Joe Root got out cheaply when George Garton started the run against Yorkshire against Sussex.



England captain Joe Root was one of Yorkshire's three wickets to replace the 21 deliveries offered by George Garton as Sussex held the upper hand on the opening day of his LV = Insurance County Championship.


Yorkshire reached 60 without loss before both openers were hit in consecutive overs by left-arm fast bowler Garton, who also collected Root's prize scalp, due to a brief internal movement. LBW stuck in the stomach.


After winning the toss under Blue Sky at Yorkshire Hove, he was dismissed for 150 in just 50.5 overs, where the hosts scored 118 for three by stumps.


Sussex also lost their first wicket on the board with 60, but opener Tom Haynes was on the crease and reached 71 not out in front of England head coach Chris Silverwood.


Ed Smith resigned as national selector following a wider delivery this week in Slough Wood, England squad selection, with top-ranked Sussex Seymour Oli Robinson with Chief Scout James Taylor. Also found for review, Joffra Archer is playing fitness as he recovers from finger and elbow injuries.


But the pair must have been impressed by the performance of Garton, who has been plagued by injury in recent years but made a career-best score in Gilmorgan with three for 25 in 11 overs against Yorkshire.


OlIy Stone and Oliver Hannan Dolby took four wickets as Warwickshire limited Asbax to 295 at Edgbaston.


Sir Alastair Cook hit a rare six, hitting 46 off 47 balls before being knocked out, but the fast bowler continued his excellent form in the opening season, including the wicket of England's Dan Lawrence. Included with five runs.


Essex decided to bat first after Nick Brown (68), Paul Walter (66) and Ryan Des Dusht (56) had half-centuries when Warwickshire reached seven runs in four overs without loss.


Tim Murtagh scored four for 28, while Middlesex teammate Toby Roland Jones took key top-order wickets from Mark Stoneman, Oli Pope and Ben Fox to take London to 154 runs.


Seymour's performance confirmed the decision to land at Middlesex at Lord's, and the hosts took advantage of their position when they were bowled out for 16 to 3.


Sam Robson (46 not out) and Robbie White (52no) scored unbeaten 98 runs.


Nottinghamshire picked up Worcestershire against Jack Libby's 117 former employers, who fell from 140 for no loss on Nude Road to 216 for seven when they decided to bat first.


However, Ed Barnard (40no) and West Indies bowling all-rounder Alzari Joseph made a useful 89 for the eighth wicket, as Worcestershire closed at 305 for seven.


Leicester Hill scored 68 of Leicestershire's 233 against Somerset, who would have been satisfied after losing the toss on Grace Road, although the visitors were bowled out for 53 for three.

Chris Cook registered his second century of the season, scoring 107 to give Glamorgan 324 for seven against Northamptonshire who opted to bowl first on Vintage Road.


David Bedingham celebrated his 27th birthday with a total score of 307 for 170 not out for Durham, who won the toss against Derbyshire in Chester Lee Street.


Ian Holland's 114 and Tom Alsoupe's unbeaten 127 gave Hampshire 292 for three when they made the right guess on the toss against Gloucestershire in the Ageas Bowl, while Canterbury were asked to bat against Kent. Lancashire then reached 260 for seven.
