Luke Wells is tying up an end here, with just seven runs coming from his four overs in this spell.

David Wiese to bowl at the other end and Bell caresses the ball through the covers for four.

He nudges the next one through the on side for one - and that's Warwickshire's first batting point.

Meanwhile, the sun makes its first appearance of the day at Hove - but it's not shining on the hosts this afternoon.

Tattersall is on the drive against Edwards but can't get the ball away.

Big partnership needed by him and Bresnan here.

He gets a thick edge but controls a steering shot wide of third slip for four runs.

Shot! Edwards drops short and Tattersall cuts the ball away to point for a couple to take the White Rose to three figures.

Ben Stokes and Alex Hales are charged with bringing the game into disrepute by the ECB following an incident outside a Bristol nightclub.

Away from Hove and Canterbury, here's the latest in Division Two:

Northamptonshire's Brett Hutton has taken his fourth wicket against Gloucestershire, with Ryan Higgins caught behind for 10, but they remain off for bad light at Bristol with the home side 72-8.

Middlesex have lost a third wicket against Derbyshire with Dawid Malan caught by Luis Reece off the bowling of Hardus Viljoen for 16.

Sam Robson is still there on 85 not out as the home side have reached 179-3.

Durham made a double breakthrough against Leicestershire, who slipped to 139-4, with Ateeq Javid lbw to Chris Rushworth for 58 and Mark Cosgrove bowled by Matt Salisbury for four.

Harry Dearden (23) and Neil Dextter (16) have taken the score to 177-4.

Sussex v Warwks 188-2

He's still got it, you know!

The batsman surges past 900 Championships runs on the way to his seventh score of 50 or more in the format for Warwickshire.

Bell drives Jordan into the off side for one to reach the landmark off 110 balls with four fours and one six.

He's hit four centuries in this campaign to date - and don't rule out a fifth in this game.

Tim Bresnan gets off the mark by turning Ian Holland to the on side.

The White Rose are really under the pump here.

Tattersall gets a couple more on to the on side. He's hit on the pad by one that nips back but it's too high for lbw.

Champions Surrey have their first batting point at Taunton as Rory Burns and Jason Roy each collect a boundary in the latest over from Jack Leach, the sole front-line spinner in the Somerset side for this game with Dom Bess not in the XI.

Burns is now 77 not out and Roy - in his first Championship innings of the summer - has 28.

Time for leg-spinner Luke Wells to have a bowl and he gets off to a great start as Bell plays and misses outside the off stump to the first ball. When was the last time he did that?

Bell gets a single off the third and Trott gives the strike back to him after Wells drops a bit short.

Just the two from the over.

They are back out at the Brightside Ground after a brief hold-up for bad light. Craig Miles and David Payne are the not out batsmen, but it's Northants who are well on top at the moment.

At this rate, it won't be long before Essex are in the lead at Chelmsford as Murali Vijay and Tom Westley post a half-century stand in 14 overs.India opener Vijay is 32 not out and Westley has 23. Dillon Pennington has just come on for his first over for Worcestershire.

Bell and Trott continue to look comfortable without quite hitting top gear at Hove.

That's more than enough for Warwickshire - who go up to Division One if they avoid defeat here.

Trott takes the partnership past 50 with a drive through the covers for one.

Away from Hove and Canterbury, here's what is going on:

Northamptonshire's Brett Hutton has just taken his fourth wicket against Gloucestershire, with Ryan Higgins caught behind for 10, but they have gone off for bad light at Bristol with the home side 72-8.

Middlesex have lost a second wicket against Derbyshire with Stevie Eskinazi lbw to Matt Critchley for 35, but England's Dawid Malan has joined Sam Robson, who has moved on to 77 not out, with the score on 161-2.

Durham have made a double breathrough against Leicestershire, who are 139-4, with Ateeq Javid lbw to Chris Rushworth for 58 and Mark Cosgrove bowled by Matt Salisbury for four.

Jofra Archer is really steaming in here, but Ian Bell is equal to the task so far as he's up on his toes to defend.

A lovely leg glance from Bell off the next ball gets him a single.

Trott tries to nudge another leg side ball but can't connect.

Ben Brown has to make a diving stop after a wild throw in the field. Frustrating times for Sussex.

Glamorgan 135-6 v Kent

Image source, Huw Evans Picture Agency

Well batted Jack Murphy, who has held this Glamorgan innings together against Kent and reaches only his second Championship fifty of the summer with a boundary off Matt Henry.

The Kent paceman pays the price for straying onto leg stump as the ball is helped on its way to fine leg. It's taken Murphy 111 balls and that's the ninth four of the left-hander's innings.

Danny Briggs is back in the attack after a break of one over.

A shorter, quicker ball and Bell stabs it down into the off side.

Bell pushes one out square for a single and Trott leaves the last ball alone.

The overs are ticking by sharply here - and we're actually ahead of the required rate. A rarity indeed.
