Sussex batsman Murray Goodwin today broke his own record for the highest score in the county's history.
The 35-year-old, who went into the game against Somerset averaging just 16.58, scored an unbeaten 344 not out as Sussex piled up a massive 742-5 at tea on the second day at Taunton.
Goodwin had set the previous record of 335 not out on the day Sussex won their first County Championship in 2003.
His innings contained 43 fours and six sixes and he featured in a county record fourth wicket stand of 363 in 73 overs with Carl Hopkinson whose own contribution was a career-best 132.
Sussex's total was also the highest in their history, eclipsing the previous record of 705-8 dec set in 1902 against Surrey.
A total of 542 runs were scored on the second day with Marcus Trescothick and Arul Suppiah launching Somerset's reply with an unbroken first-wicket stand as they reached 126-0 at stumps.
