Middlesex 676/5 Declared Sussex 103/0
End of Day Two - Sussex trail by 573 runs with 10 wickets remaining
Sam Robson scored a career-best 253 and Robbie White his second successive century as Middlesex piled up the highest total in their history.
White was unbeaten on 110 when Middlesex declared on 676 for five on day 2 of their LV = Insurance County Championship match at Hove.
It was the sixth-biggest total Sussex have conceded in their history and highest for 21 years, but openers Tom Haines and Ali Orr enjoyed benign conditions too, taking their side to 103 without loss at stumps.
The final wicket to fall for Middlesex was Martin Andersson who had played more fluently and looked on course for a century of his own but on 88 he tried to hit Rawlins over the top but couldn’t clear long-on.
