Hampshire Cricket 2017

Lancs all out for 593, a first-innings lead of 198. Just have to dig in and bat out the draw now.

So being 26-4 isnโ€™t what you had in mind? Anderson 3-6 in 5 overs is at least good for forthcoming test series.

Fuck. 50-5 at stumps. So much for digging in.

This is quite a good piece and talks about a Hampshire star in the making.

Not a good day so far Hants trail by 63 runs with 1 wicket left

good news is Yorkshire lost

Bollocks. Bowled out for 168 so lost by an innings and 30 runs. Plucky batting from the lower order, but the proper batsmen really didnโ€™t do their job. Still and all, thatโ€™s only our second loss in the County Championship this season. Most were predicting far worse before the season started.

One of the first day-night county matches now being held at the Rose Bowl, 8 other day-night matches taking part around the country. I can just see @lifeintheslowlane at the Rose bowl this evening, picnic blanket over his knees, horlicks in his handsโ€ฆ

Somerset 135 - 8 after 46.1 overs

end of play day 3

Why canโ€™t they add an extra day to the 4 day game make it what used to be a normal 5 day match and get a result. Due to weather delays?

Agree PS but then most of cricketโ€™s rules about adding extra time / overs when some play has been lost are completely archaic!

Brilliant bowling by Holland today.

Any news on the the expected start time today ?

weather delays expected or not?
