Opener Tom Lammonby returned to form against Sussex, scoring his highest score of the season on day two at Hove. The left-hander, averaging 28 prior to the match, reached 74 off 143 balls, setting Somerset on track for a 119-run lead. Despite a last-wicket stand of 40 by John Simpson and Jaydev Unadkat, Somerset's innings progressed under batting conditions.
