Sussex v Leics

Leics (184) bt Sussex (140) by 44 runs

DOMINIC   Williamson   claimed   a Sunday-best five for 32 as Le-
icestershire kept their title hopes alive with a 44-run win  over
Sussex at Eastbourne, writes Paul Wrightson.

Sussex, bottom of the table, suffered their  fifth  defeat in six
games after being dismissed for 140, chasing a target of 185.

Williamson  took  four  of the last five wickets  as  the  hosts`
frail  batting  again  let  them  down. They lost  openers  Keith
Green- field and Bill Athey with only 29  scored,  and  half  the
side were out for 78 when Rajesh Rao fell to Tim Mason for 40.

Ben  Smith  had  earlier hit four fours and a six  in  making  71
off 72 balls as Leicestershire, who won the toss, were bowled out
for 184 with one ball remaining.
