Scott Borthwick and Graham Onions took nine wickets between them as Durham dominated Sussex on the second day.

That gave Durham a first-innings lead of 154 and they piled more pressure on the home side with a solid start to their second innings.

Will Smith led the way with an unbeaten 54 as they closed on 93-0.

The only blemish for the visitors was opener Michael di Venuto having to retire hurt having scored just two runs.
