Chris Jordan led the way as Gloucestershire's batsmen found the going tough on the opening day of the Specsavers County Championship match against Sussex at Bristol.
Left-hander James Bracey, 22, stood out from the crowd as he top-scored with 61 from 123 balls as the hosts made a promising start after being put in on a green-tinged pitch.
But he proved an exception to the rule which saw so many of his team-mates succumb to variable bounce, Sussex paceman Jordan cashing in with 3-49 as Gloucestershire were bowled out for 200 inside 78 overs.
Their innings was afforded perspective when Philip Salt (53 not out) and Luke Wells (6 not out) safely negotiated 16 overs to usher Sussex to 73 without loss at the close, 127 runs behind with all first-innings wickets in hand.
