They were batting again at 17:20 BST as conditions started to ease. Tom Haines took advantage, hitting 45 as Sussex closed 129 ahead on 83-2.

He was first to go in Sussex’s first innings, caught at fourth slip by Matthew Breetzke to give White his first wicket.

Daniel Hughes top-scored with 35 before he was dropped by a diving Prithvi Shaw at second slip, off Luke Procter, but edged the next delivery behind.

Procter (3-37) soon picked up another when James Coles fell to a good low catch by Matthew Breetzke.

Tom Alsop (25) was caught behind off Justin Broad and after lunch, White had Oli Carter caught behind and Fynn Hudson-Prentice lbw.

John Simpson was dropped in the slips by Shaw and Breetzke before Broad eventually held one to give White his fourth wicket.

Procter had McAndrew caught behind by a diving Lewis McManus before Robinson top-edged his first ball back to Ben Sanderson. Jack Carson hammered 29 before holing out off Sanderson.

When Northamptonshire batted, Ricardo Vasconcelos pummeled 16 off the opening over from Robinson and moved to 33 before he was superbly caught by Carson at fourth slip.
