Cork struck four times, including the key scalp of England wicketkeeper Matt Prior, to limit the Sharks to 219 for nine, with Hampshire knocking off the runs with six wickets to spare.

Openers Jimmy Adams (55) and Michael Lumb (38) kept the Hawks on course for victory, with Chris Benham and Nic Pothas finishing off the job - but so much of the damage was done by Cork earlier in the day.

The first dangerman to go was Ed Joyce, who attempted to leave a delivery but chopped onto his stumps, bringing Prior to the crease, who edged behind to Nic Pothas to the second ball he faced.

It was no surprise when Chris Nash's scruffy innings was ended by Cork trapping him leg before wicket, with the veteran picking up his final wicket late in the innings when Robin Martin-Jenkins spooned to Chris Benham.

With wickets falling around him, Mike Yardy's innings of 92 not out kept alive Sussex's hopes.

Yardy and Luke Wright had put on 34 before the latter was bowled after Chris Tremlett's ball found the inside edge and a boot before clipping the top of middle stump.

Dwayne Smith, with 20 off as many balls, and Rory Hamilton-Brown (32) assisted Yardy before both were caught off the bowling of Imran Tahir.

In their reply, left-handed pair Lumb and Adams shared a 93-run partnership before Adams was dismissed lbw by Wright.

Wright gave Sussex hope by having Lumb caught behind and Sean Ervine caught in the deep. Michael Carberry's quickfire 30 had maintained momentum before Pothas (35) and Benham (37) finished the job.
