COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION ONE ROUNDUP: Set 483 to win, Hants were bowled out for a miserable 116, with Lyndon James and Brett Hutton leading the way
Trent Bridge (day three of four): Nottinghamshire 333 & 345, Hampshire 196 & 116 - Nottinghamshire win by 366 runs
Hampshire collapsed to a three-day defeat after centuries from Jack Haynes and Liam Patterson-White had batted them out of the game as Division One leaders Nottinghamshire romped to a third victory in their opening five matches of the County Championship season, winning by a massive 366-run margin.
All-rounder Patterson-White struck a magnificent career-best 135 containing 21 fours and two sixes, with Haynes making 120, the pair sharing a seventh-wicket stand of 238 as the Trent Bridge side made 345 in their second innings.

Chasing down 483 to win looked wholly unrealistic on a pitch that has made the new ball a potent weapon, but Hampshire supporters would have hoped at least to see the match taken to a fourth day.
Instead, they witnessed their team bowled out for a miserable 116 by 5.30pm with former favourite Mohammad Abbas not even among the wickets as the bowling honours were shared between Lyndon James (5 for 22) and Brett Hutton (4 for 56).
The winning margin is Nottinghamshire's second-largest by runs in their Championship history.
