Former Zimbabwe batsman Murray Goodwin made the sixth highest score in the history of English county cricket as his 344 not out helped Sussex reach 742-5 against Somerset on Thursday.
Goodwin's innings lasted 351 balls and included 43 fours and six sixes before Sussex declared.
The 36-year-old's mammoth score was a new individual record for Sussex and his team's total was their highest ever, beating the previous best of 705-8 declared against Surrey in 1902.
Former West Indies batsman Brian Lara holds the record for the highest score in first class cricket with an innings of 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston in 1994.
