Luke Wells is ready to give it a twirl for Sussex this season after claiming a four-wicket haul.

Wells was handed the ball during the Championship tussle at Leicester.

But, despite his haul of 4-81, the contest looks set for a draw going it the final day.

Wells said: “It was nice to get a prolonged bowl, not having bowled properly for a long time through knee injuries and so on, so after not getting runs in the first innings it was nice to go out there and contribute, and I feel like I’m pretty much back to 100% fitness.

“It’s a rare sight to see two leg-spinners bowling in tandem, with myself and Will Beer, and I think we both enjoyed it.

“I was becoming a recognised bowler when I got injured and I haven’t really bowled for 18 months to two years.

"I feel like it adds a different dimension to my game and hopefully it will help us win a few games down the road as well.”

Sussex led by 27 with all second-innings wickets in hand overnight.

Wells said: “There’s something in the pitch with the new ball, but it’s basically an attritional wicket, hard work for both batters and bowlers, in a way. “What turn there is comes out of the footholds, out of the rough, but once the ball goes soft it becomes very difficult to beat the bat.”
