Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon has admitted he is concerned about the form of his bowlers following a second day of domination for Sussex in the LV= County Championship.

This is after the Tykes closed on 21-0 at Hove in reply to their hosts’ first-innings total of 548-4 declared.

"A couple of our bowlers are struggling a bit at the minute," confirmed Moxon, with his side still 368 runs away from the follow-on target.

"I think that you can see from the figures as to who is not in the best of form. All I would say is that people are trying hard to get it right."

Bradford-born Adil Rashid and Ajmal Shahzad are likely to be his biggest worries.

The duo, normally so potent with the ball, will want to forget their week on the south coast so far.

Rashid ended with 0-187 when the declaration came, the third most expensive figures ever for the county, while Shahzad recorded 1-145.

Murray Goodwin did most of the damage – ending with the third highest individual score ever posted against the white rose to close on an unbeaten 274.

It was a brutal innings which contained 37 boundaries as the Zimbabwean began the day by adding to his third-wicket partnership with Luke Wells.

The two resumed with a stand of 217 before Yorkshire eventually prised Wells out for 174 to end the 304-run partnership.

He rightly lapped up the applause as he left the action, with Sussex on 382-3, leaving Goodwin to then blast his way to his mammoth total before his captain Michael Yardy decided the time was right to declare just before tea.

It was a dubious call, given the fact the Tykes looked down and out in the field, with his choice of timing then not helped by poor weather.

They had only batted for 11.2 overs before play was halted off for bad light, with Joe Root and Joe Sayers both on six. It means Yorkshire are still 527 runs behind.
