  • Close - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Hampshire finish the day on 352 for 8, with four batting points in the bag and enough runs on the board to offer Derbyshire some sort of fourth innings chase tomorrow - providing there is collusion, of course. But both teams are reported to want a game

  • WICKET - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Two more wickets as Hampshire chase runs late in the day to set up a two-innings contest. Ervine was athletically caught by Ross Whiteley off a skier when 24, and Michael Bates has just been bowled by Clare for 17. Hampshire 324-8, seven overs left today

  • WICKET - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Young Sean Terry is the sixth wicket to fall - lbw for 3 to Tony Palladino in the first over with the second new ball. Hants have now moved on to 316 for 6 and we could well be heading for a double innings forfeiture and a Derbys run chase tomorrow

  • WICKET - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Two wickets since tea - James Vince caught behind for 36 propping forward to Wainwright, and the century-maker Adams, run out for a superb 122 after being sent back by new batsman Sean Ervine. Hants now 287 for 5

    11/05/2012 (374 days old) | Read more
  • TEA - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Hampshire 233-3, and Adams has reached an emotional hundred with a swept three in the last over before tea. The Hampshire captain has missed the last three games for personal, family reasons, but this innings will do both him and his side a lot of good

  • WICKET - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Shafayat out for 93, rather disappointingly chasing a widish pitched-up ball from Jon Clare and edging to keeper Tom Poynton who took a good diving catch to his right. That was 184 for 2, but Adams still going well on 93 himself and Hampshire are now past 200

  • Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Shafayat is now into the nineties, on 93, and in sight of what would be a highly significant century on his Hampshire debut, and with Adams still there too on 72 it is Hampshire who are totally on top at 184-1 here

  • Landmark - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Fifty for Bilal Shafayat in his county comeback innings, off 57 balls with ten fours. Hants 126 for 1, and Jimmy Adams also now has a half-century. Important innings for both players, for differing reasons

  • LUNCH - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Hampshire sitting pretty on 108-1. Derbyshire have not bowled well, but Shafayat has taken the attack to the bowlers in his first county innings since 2010 and reached 49 not out with three fours in the final over of the morning. Adams is on 40.

    Bilal Shafayat is batting very positively and well in his debut innings for Hampshire. Several eye-catching strokes, including a couple off the back foot through extra cover, and he's now on 28. Jimmy Adams has reached a battling 27 and Hampshire are 73-1

  • Derbyshire won the toss - Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Derbyshire have won the toss and will bowl - surprise, surprise! The pitch is predictably green, but Nigel Gray and Hampshire's groundstaff - aided by the Ageas Bowl's wonderful drainage system - have performed a minor miracle to get play away on time today

    Remarkable news from the Ageas Bowl: we are starting on time, after two days of rainfall and gloom, and there has even been some sunshine this morning. Cloudy now, but the clouds are high

  • Hampshire v Derbyshire
    NO PLAY TODAY - Off for the day again at the Ageas Bowl. Hampshire have lost 48 out of 108 possible playing hours in this season's County Championship so far... and it's still raining, quite hard now, so tomorrow's early play is by no means certain

    Still raining here - and much heavier than earlier. The officials are going to hang on for a while, just in case the weather clears soon, but the odds are well in favour of a second successive washout

    No immediate prospect of play here at the Ageas Bowl. The covers did come off earlier this morning, but they are now going back on again. It is murky, misty and there is a fine drizzle in the air. Umpires Lloyds and Saggers plan to inspect at 11am

    And off for the day here too. It is raining heavily now at the Ageas Bowl and it is a desolate scene.

  • Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Umpires Lloyds and Saggers feel there is little chance of any play here today, so wet is the outfield and surrounds and so poor the afternoon forecast. Stand by for an announcement of no play today.

  • Hampshire v Derbyshire
    Umpires Jeremy Lloyds and Martin Saggers have decided there will be an early lunch here at 12.30, and that they will then make their first inspection of the day afterwards at around 1.15pm. Still drizzle in the air, still a bleak scene

  • Hampshire v Derbyshire
    A variation on a theme here at the Ageas Bowl: it is not particularly cold, but it is wet and a light rain is still falling. There has also been heavy rainfall overnight, and prospects for play - certainly any time soon - look bleak

  • Second success for the Netherlands
    The Netherlands completed their second win in two days against county opposition when they beat Worcestershire in a Duckworth-Lewis computation at Kidderminster, although they would have completed an easy win but for the weather.
