WI 71 all out 13 Overs

 

Thanks for reminding me this was on!

Good start by England, 24-0 from 3 overs

 

Game that short is hardly value for money for the spectators.

 

Won by 8 wickets

 

Vince is going to open the batting in the Championship for Hampshire this season. TBH, he was virtually opening last season anyway!

 

Think that’s good news. Hope he can develop his game.

 

Forecast looks a little iffy for tomorrow, but better as the day goes on - and over the weekend.

I'd suggest that 10 of our starters are nailed on, and it's between Weatherley, Soames and Fuller for the final place.

 

Hampshire batting first and Vince opening as predicted. 16 - 0 after 7 overs.

 

34/0...they are already about triple our average for opening partnerships from last season.

 

Hooray, there will be a live stream starting on the Hants website later this morning apparently.

40/1, Weatherley out for 13 driving on the up and caught at slip...

Markram comes in for his debut innings.

 

Vincey out for 40 the last ball before lunch....71/2

 

215 - 3 Tea

 

H 302 - 4 74 overs

 

Decent start to the season that and virtually a full day's play too. The batting line up looks very strong this year, looking forward to seeing our seam attack in action too. Very optimistic this year.

 

Very good day. Great to see Rossouw get some Championship runs early on. Great knock from Northeast as well. And on track to get full batting points. Couldn't have gone much better.

 

Never could have dreamt it going this well so far. Even better that we'll only need to take 18 wickets if we're to win (although my money right now is on a high scoring draw).

Barring a horrible collapse, we should easily get maximum points from here.

 

428 - 5 Lunch Northeast 169.

 

525 - 8 Declared

 

Important wicket that from Kyle, obviously.
