                                      Sussex 50 for 4 (Cummins 3-19) trail Worcestershire 306 (Mitchell 75, Cox 69*, Magoffin 5-38) by 256 runs Scorecard Sussex seamer Steve Magoffin reached 50 wickets for the fifth successive season before Worcestershire fought back on an entertaining first day at Hove. Black Vans Old Skool Sale .Both sides are eyeing runners-up prize money in Division Two of the Specsavers County Championship and when Sussex took four wickets in 22 balls in the afternoon to leave Worcestershire on 178 for 7 they looked to have stolen a march on their rivals.But skipper Ben Cox led an excellent counter-attack by Worcestershires lower order which saw 128 runs scored in 24 overs for the last three wickets with Cox last man out for an excellent 69 in a total of 306.They then made inroads into a frail Sussex line-up which, in the absence of the injured Ed Joyce and Luke Wells, contained just four specialist batsmen, three of whom are uncapped.Miguel Cummins removed two of them - Fynn Hudson-Prentice and Craig Cachopa - for ducks and then had nightwatchman Ollie Robinson leg before in the final over of the day. Chris Nash was trapped on the crease by Joe Leach as Sussex stumbled to 50 for 4 at stumps to trail by 256.Magoffins enduring excellence was one of the highlights as the Australian finished with 5 for 38 in 19 overs to take his tally for the season to 54.His landmark 50th victim Tom Fell was claimed in only his third over when Fell was leg before for a duck playing across a straight one.Worcestershire had already lost Brett DOliveira to a catch at slip in Chris Jordans first over but from 11 for 2 skipper Daryl Mitchell and Joe Clarke fought back against Sussexs five-man seam attack in a stand of 97 either side of lunch.Jordan made the breakthrough after lunch when Clarke flashed fatally outside off stump but Mitchell and George Rhodes added 57 for the fourth wicket before Worcestershire collapsed.Mitchell was caught behind trying to dab Magoffin through the off side and in the next over Tom Kohler-Cadmore endured his third successive Championship duck when he offered no shot to an arm ball from left-arm spinner Danny Briggs.Magoffin then struck twice in successive overs as Rhodes gloved a lifter and Leach was taken low down at slip before Cox led the recovery.With Ed Barnard giving him solid support, they plundered 48 in six overs after tea with Cox striking Briggs for three sixes down the ground. After adding 75 in 15 overs, Barnard was held on the mid-wicket boundary but Cummins muscled 25 off 20 balls including an outrageous flat-batted six back over the head of bowler Jofra Archer.Magoffin was belatedly brought back into the attack and completed his fifth five-for of the season with the second ball of his spell when he bowled Cummins. Cox was last out for 69 from 87 deliveries, which also included nine fours, when he was well caught by the diving Archer at mid-on two deliveries after David Wiese had taken the second new ball. Slip On Vans Clearance . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. Vans Old Skool Discount . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. http://www.cheapoldskoolwholesale.com/wholesale-old-skool-vans.html . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger has seen this show before. Rookie quarterback. Physical running back. Solid defense. A historic hot streak that seems like a portent.Back in 2004 it was Roethlisberger who was the hot rookie, pairing with Jerome Bettis and the NFLs top-ranked defense to rip off 13 straight wins after replacing injured Tommy Maddox while leading the Steelers to the AFC title game. Now its Dak Prescott, the 23-year-old with the preternatural calm who has rapidly evolved from fourth-round flyer to perhaps indispensable part of the team that reached midseason atop the NFC.There is one big difference. While Roethlisberger was asked to serve primarily as a game manager and let the defense do the work -- he only passed for more than 200 yards three times as a rookie -- Prescott has been asked to do more. In some ways, a lot more. Hes on pace to go over 4,000 yards passing and has made Tony Romo, who happens to be the franchises all-time passing leader, a $20 million backup .Hes not just managing games, hes taking games over and doing some pretty awesome stuff, Roethlisberger said of Prescott. Its fun to watch.If not exactly fun to play against. The Cowboys (7-1) have ripped off seven straight wins, the third-longest run by a rookie quarterback in league history, even if theres a ways to go to reach what Roethlisberger did in 2004. The combination of Prescott, rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott and wide receiver Dez Bryant has quickly become just as dynamic as Pittsburghs trio of Roethlisberger, LeVeon Bell and Antonio Brown.While Dallas is surging, the Steelers (4-4) are slumping . Their three-game losing streak includes a lifeless performance in Baltimore last weekend that dropped them out of first in the AFC North. Theres time to get it together. They did it last year, going 6-2 over the second half to earn a playoff berth. The first step this time will be more difficult than most.You want to be playing your best football at this time of year, Roethlisberger said. If we want to be playing our best, weve got to be playing the best. And one of the best is coming in this week.LEES HOMECOMING: Linebacker Sean Lee, Dallas leading tackler, grew up about 20 minutes from Heinz Field and was a lifelong Steelers fan before going to Penn State. Hes facing Pittsburgh for the first time because he was hurt the only other time they played, in 2012. Lee was a second-round pick by the Cowboys in 2010. His dad told him stories of the rivalry in the 1970s, when Pittsburgh beat Dallas in the Super Bowl twice. Black Vans Sk8 Hi Sale. And he vaguely remembers the Cowboys beating the Steelers in the Super Bowl after the 1995 season.I think I cried afterward, but I shouldnt have because I dont remember exactly watching play to play, said Lee, who was in third grade. I think I was playing video games half the game.NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Despite their slide, the Steelers are a favored by a field goal, a testament to the way they handle their business at Heinz Field. Roethlisberger has won seven straight home starts, and Pittsburgh is averaging 35 points in those games.We know the potential we have, Bell said. Weve got to start living up to it week in and week out, home or on the road.UP-AND-DOWN DEZ: Star Dallas receiver Dez Bryant has two 100-yard games out of the five he has played. He missed three with a knee injury. But he also has two one-catch games, including last week against Cleveland. In both of those one-catch games tight end Jason Witten and slot receiver Cole Beasley dominated. They combined for 17 catches on 26 targets in the opener against the Giants, and 16 targets for 14 catches against the Browns. Witten had his first 100-yard game in three years last week. Beasley leads Dallas receivers across the board: catches (43), yards (499) and touchdowns (four).STOPPING KIDS: There was a time not long ago when Pittsburgh had little trouble against teams with rookie starting quarterbacks. The Steelers went 18-2 against rookies from 2004-15. That ended emphatically in Week 3 when they went to Philadelphia and let Carson Wentz lead the Eagles to a 34-3 whipping. Like Wentz, Prescott has shown an uncanny ability to avoid mistakes. Hes thrown two interceptions so far against 12 touchdowns.Usually, rookie quarterbacks dont play that great, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. That guy in Philadelphia (Carson Wentz) played great and has been playing great. And this guy in Dallas (Prescott) is playing great. But usually, globally speaking, it may not have anything to do with us. It just may mean that rookie quarterbacks dont play great. And usually, theyre playing because of less-than-ideal circumstance.---AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon in Dallas contributed to this report.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
