England bowlers Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson have both signed one-year contract extensions at Sussex.
Pace bowler Archer, 29, has won 59 caps for his country across red and white-ball cricket, claiming 115 wickets.
Fellow seamer Robinson, 30, has taken 27 wickets for Sussex in the County Championship this season, as well as 16 in the T20 Blast.
He has claimed 76 wickets in 20 Test matches for England at an average of 22.92 - but was omitted from the squad for the recent 3-0 series win over West Indies.
Sussex are top of County Championship Division Two after nine games of the season and through to the quarter-finals of the T20 Blast.
"I am delighted to have signed another contract with Sussex - Hove feels like home to me, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," Archer said.

Archer was the leading wicket-taker in England's 2019 World Cup-winning squad, bowling the super over that sealed victory against New Zealand in the final.
He was also part of the team that reached the semi-finals of this year's T20 World Cup, after three years plagued by injury.
Archer has been at Sussex since 2016, taking 181 first-class wickets for club and country in that time.
Robinson, meanwhile, joined Sussex in 2015 and has claimed 339 first-class wickets for the county.
"I'm very pleased to extend my contract at Sussex for another year, the cricket we've played this year shows that we are going in a great direction as a team," Robinson said.
"I am looking forward to being a part of that for another year and to see us push on again as a club."
