Hosts falter after Gary Wilson

           
  Sussex seamer James Anyon took 3-69, while Vikram Solanki (51) hit his first half century for his new side.Wilson's dismissal led to a Sussex revival in the final session as overcast conditions and the second new ball helped the visitors pick up four wickets for 30 runs.The former Worcestershire captain shared a third-wicket stand of 118 with Wilson, who compiled the second first-class century of his career.With the hosts on 247-3, Wilson's downfall for 124 then sparked a collapse as they lost four wickets for only 30 runs.Wilson arrived at the crease after Smith had gloved a brutal lifting delivery from James Anyon to Sussex keeper Ben Brown.South Africa captain Graeme Smith was dismissed for three and is yet to reach double figures this summer.The Irishman had expected to go in at seven, but was promoted to three just before the start of the innings, after Arun Harinath was struck on the hand in the nets.
