Lancashire will look to take quick wickets on the final day of their game against Sussex after much of day three was lost to bad weather.

Play was delayed until 13:15 BST because of snow and then ended early by bad light and rain.

Lancashire skipper Dane Vilas, who had ended day two unbeaten on 158, added 31 to his total before being last man out in his side's first-innings 407.

Sussex reached the close on 38-0 in their second innings, trailing by 68.

It was a good day for Sussex debutant Sean Hunt who took two more wickets to end with figures of 3-47.

Tom Bailey and Tom Hartley were both run out and Vilas eventually fell 11 runs short of his double century when he was caught by Aaron Thomason after attempting to reverse sweep Jack Carson.

Sussex openers Tom Haines (14*) and Thomason (23*) will resume on day four looking to steer the visitors towards a draw.
