Paul Farbrace believes promotion is “close but not done” for Sussex after their three-day win over Glamorgan.

Having established a first-innings lead of 305, the leaders of Vitality County Championship division two bowled Glamorgan out for 218 to win by an innings and 87 runs at Hove.

There were three wickets each for Ollie Robinson, Henry Crocombe and off-spinner Jack Carson, the second division’s leading wicket-taker who took his tally to 45.

Sussex coach Farbrace said: "That's back-to-back innings win at Hove so I'm delighted.

“Over the course of the three days we played a lot of really good cricket.

“We had to show resilience and a high level of skill at times but we did that.

"We're all delighted that Tom Clark got his hundred today.

“He's had to work hard this season but we feel he's got a very high ceiling as a player.

“Our bowling throughout has been very good too.

“Jack Carson is getting better with each game. Not only is he a wicket-taking threat but his control has been exceptional.

“And along with his keeping and captaincy, I can't think of too many batters who have had a better season in county cricket than John Simpson.

"I was a bit worried going into this game as Glamorgan had the wood over us this season and gave us a proper beating in the Championship game in Cardiff so to play as well as we did was really exciting.

"Promotion is close but it's not done. Middlesex and Yorkshire are making it tough but our goal at the start of the season was to go into September with a chance of winning the title.

“We're looking forward to the challenge of the last two games but there's a lot of work still to go."

Glamorgan captain Sam Northeast admitted: "We ran into a bit of a freight train this week. Sussex simply outplayed us - they are a really good side.”
