Rain the winner on day two at Hove

In stark contrast to the fine weather on the first day of the match between Sussex and the Zimbabwe at Hove, the second day provided almost unrelieved drizzle. The weather did briefly look like clearing up after lunch, but more rain led to the abandonment of the day's play just after four o'clock. Zimbabwe remained on 317 for 4, with Mark Vermeulen unbeaten on 194.
