Opener Phil Salt hit 73 from 46 balls before David Wiese added an unbeaten 44 as last season's finalists posted 188-6.

Topley, who has moved to Sussex this summer after injury had sidelined him for the best part of two years, then crashed through the Hampshire top-order removing Aneurin Donald, James Vince and Sam Northeast in the third over.
