Rob Yates scores superb unbeaten century on Day Two | HIGHLIGHTS | Rothesay County Championship

Rob Yates crafted a fine century as Warwickshire's batters responded resolutely after Sussex had posted an intimidating 528 all out on Day Two. Sussex captain John Simpson starred with an unbeaten 181 (262 balls) while debutant Bears bowlers Ethan Bamber (four for 105) and Tazeem Ali (three for 103) enjoyed most success on a batting-friendly surface. Sussex’s hopes of turning their strong total into a victory were held up from the start of Warwickshire's reply as openers Yates and Alex Davies put in 116 for the first wicket. Yates closed the second day on 113 (148 balls) after captain Davies launched the reply with an aggressive 66 (65 balls).
