Neil Turk and Dominic Clapp shared an opening stand of 221 as Sussex Second XI took command on the opening day of their championship clash against Hampshire.
Turk stroked his maiden championship century for the seconds and Clapp made 80 before bad light halted play early at Hove with Sussex 225-3.
Sussex's best stand of the season ended when Clapp, who had fired 11 fours off 162 balls, got a leading edge to a delivery from pace bowler Andrew Bray and was caught at point.
The left-handed Turk, who plays for East Grinstead, followed just two runs later. He miscued an attempted drive on 121 off spinner Urfan Shah and Jason Laney, running in from mid-wicket, took the catch.
Turk had compiled 21 boundaries in his vigil of three hours 45 minutes during which time he had faced 185 deliveries.
Sussex, who broke their championship duck last week with a first victory in six games against Surrey, then lost Will House for a duck.
