Luke Wright hit a career-best 155 not out to inflict further damage on MCC at Lord's.
England all-rounder Wright's previous singular impact on the match had been to deliver the ball which poleaxed tail-ender Steve Kirby on Friday afternoon.
But with Kirby back at the ground this lunchtime after being discharged from the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead, Wright cracked an aggressive century, from 145 deliveries, between the showers as Sussex progressed to 474 for five, an overall lead of 303 runs.
Wright passed his previous best firstclass score of 100, against Loughborough University, by driving a full toss back past bowler Graham Onions for a 14th four.
