Michael Neser (123) led the final day resistance with better county score after Kiran Carlson fell for a career-high 192.

Their epic second innings lasted 207.5 overs, lasting over two days.

Sussex was without England pacemaker Ollie Robinson ( ankle injury) and Captain Cheteshwar Pujara (stiff neck).

While Steve's brief stay Smith at Sussex ended in anti-climax despite posting a fine opening run of 89, fellow Australians Marnus Labuschagne and Neser played major roles in recovering the draw.

Neser hit 15 fours and two sixes, but more importantly, he beat a quarter past four as Sussex's exhausted offense, without Robinson, couldn't take advantage of the occasional low bounce.

Glamorgan's score beat Sussex 718-3 at Colwyn Bay in 2000, and was only than behind last year's 795 -5 at Leicester.

It was also the best second set score ever in the UK.
