Sussex, chasing 247 to win on a used pitch, got off to a shocker in losing two wickets inside the first two overs, and they were still only 18 for 2 when Flintoff came on for his first spell - in his second over he pinned Chris Nash leg before and then bowled Ben Brown.

Gary Keedy took three wickets, aided by two stumpings and a catch from Luke Sutton, to leave them 88 for 8 before Sussex captain Chris Adams ensured some respectability with 49.

Lancashire posted a respectable 246, with eight of their batsmen getting double figures - Stuart Law, Mal Loye and Mark Chilton all passed 30 - without any going on to play a major innings. Flintoff started impressively, getting off the mark with a straight six and following with two straight drives for four, but he perished for 15 when he gave left-arm spinner Tom Smith the charge and was stumped.
