Steve Smith has drawn first blood in his county championship batting duel against his Aussie pal Marnus Labuschagne - but both will have been concerned by the form of a key English Ashes rival Ollie Robinson.
Smith, whose home debut for Sussex drew in the crowds at Hove on Thursday, didn't let them down as he made an assured unbeaten 68 not out by the close to put the hosts in a commanding position after the opening day against Glamorgan.
