Sussex batsmen score freely

Cricket

SPORTS REPORTER
Bangladesh got a taste of the stiff task ahead when Sussex batsmen put the tourists' bowlers to sword on the first day of the three-day warmup game at Hove on Sunday.
Number three Michael Yardy recorded a century in good time as Sussex enjoyed a strong start.
By tea, the county side were 2462 and they improved that to 332 for three with another 18-odd overs remaining in the day. Skipper Matt Prior was the third wicket to fall, snapped up by part-time seamer Aftab Ahmed but not before an almost run-a-ball 51.
left-hander Yardy, who was batting on 140 (188 balls, 21x4) when this report was being prepared, reached three figures from 148 deliveries.
Opener Carl Hopkinson (64) was run out with his side on 204 after a second-wicket stand of 133, bringing stand-in skipper Prior in to bat.
Paceman Talha Jubair was the only bowler to enjoy any success in the first two sessions when he had opener Richard Montgomerie caught for 49 with the score on 71.
Montgomerie had made a blazing start after the hosts opted to bat, taking two boundaries off young fast bowler Shahadat Hossain's first over.
Sussex are on a high after beating champions Warwickshiee last
week but have rested several veteran players.
Promising batsmen Luke Wright and Sean Heather both feature in a young side, Heather making his first-class debut.
Bangladesh who dominated in a drawn opening match against British Universities, rested four first choice players -- opener Javed Omar, pacer Tapash Baisya, left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique and wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud. Enamul Haque (Jr.), Aftab, Talha and 17-year-old wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim have replaced the veterans.
Bangladesh have another three-day match against Northants on their schedule before facing England in the first Test at Lord's from 26 May.
