Hunt moves in for the kill after Simpson pushes Somerset to the brink

 

Sussex's imperious form continued into the third day at Hove, led by yet another commanding performance from their captain, John Simpson.

 

 His unbeaten 110 from 117 balls bludgeoned Somerset into submission, setting the visitors a notional target of 595 to win, and Sussex made strides towards finishing the contest as Sean Hunt added to his first-innings five-for by dispatching four of the top five across two fiery spells.
