Looks like the other 2 matches going on (still) are going to finish as draws so the loss hasn’t hurt Hants too badly
Meanwhile in other cricket, I got my days confused as the other 2 matches started a day after Hants pathetic display against Essex, anyway this is the current state of play…
Thank Warwickshire might win and Notts might lose, but I’ve been wrong before.
Ah, the real Hampshire have returned 
yay, 1 batting point (so far), plus the 3 bowling points we got
It was obviously an abnormal morning for Hampshire, 2 quick wickets
And it’s 325/8 with just seven overs to play today. Follow-on avoided, which is a plus, but I suspect there’ll be a fairly hefty first-innings deficit.
349 all out, that’s a first innings deficit of 59 runs.
Somerset are now 31-0 in reply…

To be fair, we have lost 2 key payers to drinks carrying duties and lost another 2 to injury during the Somerset game.
And as they could be out a while, may get worse before it gets better
