The County Ground will be the hottest ticket in town tomorrow night when Sussex and Surrey contest the leadership of Twenty20's south group.

The Sharks eased to their second win in 24 hours at the Rose Bowl last night with a victory which was even more emphatic than Tuesday's seven-wicket win over Kent.

They cruised to their target of 104 with three overs to spare in a match reduced to 13 overs per side. In Twenty20 terms, that's a hiding.

Murray Goodwin lost his middle stump when he played on in the first over of the reply from Chris Tremlett.

But after Luke Wright and Chris Adams had plundered 33 off two overs from Tremlett and James Bruce Sussex were always in control.

It was Wright's night at Canterbury but he was upstaged by his captain this time.

Adams crashed 56 off just 27 balls with four boundaries and three sixes, the last of them sailing straight back over Greg Lamb's head to win the match in emphatic style.

Wright, too, played his part with an undefeated 49 off 29 balls with five fours and two sixes. Their second-wicket stand of 108 came up in just 56 deliveries.

Hampshire looked fairly toothless in the field without their inspirational skipper Shane Warne and Stuart Clark, although another Aussie, Adam Voges, did give them something to defend with an unbeaten 66.

But with Wright seeing it like a football at the moment and Adams losing nothing by comparison in the execution of the big shots it soon became evident that Sussex had the measure of their opponents.

Both had a let-off, though, with Adams dropped at mid-on in the third over by Sean Ervine when he had scored just four.

Wright was on 20 when wicketkeeper Nic Pothas, diving goalkeeper-style to his right, just failed to cling on to a sliced drive.

Former Sussex bowler Billy Taylor was treated with contempt. Adams' back-foot force to the boundary off his first delivery was followed by another four, clubbed through mid-wicket as Taylor's solitary disappeared for 15.

Coach Mark Robinson will be delighted that two of his key batsmen are in such good form but he would also have been pleased that his side produced an improved fielding and bowling display by his side after Pothas had won the toss.

The comprehensive win at Canterbury masked the fact that Sussex's ground fielding was below their best but last night they dived around a sodden outfield as if their lives depended on it.

At a conservative estimate, about ten runs were saved with some tigerish stops and accurate throws which in a tight game on another night could be the difference between winning and losing.

Rana Naved picked up Michael Lumb in the first over but there were runs to be had on a good pitch and Voges, who has been signed just for Hampshire's Twenty20 campaign, showed it was money well spent.

He played carefully early on but soon expanded his range of shots.

Curiously he hit more sixes (four) than boundaries (one) but at the business end of the innings, when Hampshire needed him on strike, he was stuck at the other end and Sussex only conceded 15 runs in the last two overs.

Voges made his runs off 47 balls.

It was all in vain however and while the Friends Provident Trophy finalists search for the winning formula in the shortest form of the game, Sussex march on.

The County Ground will be packed with 7,000 fans tomorrow night which should create a fantastic atmosphere as Sussex do battle with their oldest rivals.

A third win of the week would leave them nicely placed.
