Sussex won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved a good decision as Glamorgan’s openers crawled to 9 for 0 after six overs.

Will Bragg and Jacques Rudolph had to contend with an accurate spell from Alfonso Thomas and Chris Liddle, but the weather had the last word with the game called off at 4pm.

Glamorgan had replaced long serving wicketkeeper Mark Wallace with Chris Cooke, the first time for Wallace to be left out of the side since July 2011.
