Drove past Rose Bowl about half an hour ago. Skies were very grey and there was light drizzle.

 

Prospects for much, if any, play not looking good but fingers crossed it improves as we just seem to have hit a bit of form.

Anyone know why Brown not playing? He's been our best batsmen in the championship this year and last so surely can't have been dropped?

 

Also find is strange that Ervine has been left out of the recent one-dayers but is back for this game. Would have thought he was far more suited to one day games as opposed to the championship.

Brown has a back injury

They are now over 100 ahead - we could lose this if we're not careful.

Not much danger of that, to be honest, particularly if Ian Blackwell and the number 9 are hanging around for a 100-run partnership. We've got 11 overs to take 2 wickets to get us the third bowling point and then it'll be played out as a comfortable draw IMO.

That's the best we can hope for - but this is Hampshire you know!

Match drawn. We'd got to 196/1, with Carberry and Lumb unbeaten on 88 and 83 respectively.

 

10 points for us, 12 for Somerset.

 

A couple of other games going on in division 1, but they've got an extra day to play. However, the first innings have been completed in both so we know the bonus point scores already, which leaves the table looking like this:

 

1. Somerset 12 146

2. Nottinghamshire 12 137

3. Durham 11 136

4. Lancashire 11.5 126

5. Sussex 11.5 121

6. Hampshire 13 121

7. Yorkshire 12 116

8. Kent 11.5 119

9. Surrey 11.5 102

 

Barring a lot of rain tomorrow, Kent will beat Lancashire, and Surrey will probably draw with Sussex, which would put Kent onto 133, Lancashire unchanged on 126, Surrey on 106 and Sussex on 125.

 

We play Durham next week, but the key game starts on 9th September at the Oval against Surrey. Interestingly, Surrey only have a day's break before that game, as they have a game against Kent starting on the 4th.
