[Hiney]

Hants 33/3 after 21 overs. That gives us one bowling point. And The Rose Bowl is noted as being an excellent batting track - so there must be some awesome bowling down there.

Are the scoreboards stuck, or is it raining in Southampton? Hiney? Race?

A few showers but they are heavy - mainly dry though.

I am in eastleigh, about 5 miles away but it looks OK towards the Rose Bowl

Hopkinson is proving expensive, 4 overs for 25.

They're nearly at 150, need a wicket.

[Shropshire Seagull]

Carl Hopkinson is primarily a one day player. Handy with the bat and excellent in the field, bowls seam. Was on 12th man duties last summer for England I believe.

Good one day prospect, not sure about the 4 day game though.

Few years back I played league cricket with Hoppo - I ran him out once too - oops! But it was his Dad umpiring who stuck the finger up .... should have run yer bat in son (I think he was about 13 or 14 at the time ....

 

[Hadlee]

293 - 7 let them off the hook a bit I feel !!

We need to bat well today and get 400+ then I would back our bowlers to skittle them in the 2nd innings.

Chris Adams, Murray Goodwin, Monty, & Wardy.........We need some solid knocks from you today !!!
