No doubt we'll be at least two down by stumps!

One down, result!

Might be nice if Rahane can get himself some runs tomorrow.

I hear Weatherley dropped Mullaney at slip when he was on 20 or so, so with him getting out before stumps, not a good day for him.

These 2 hundreds should effectively mean we don’t lose this match, but it may also suggest the pitch is flattening out, so pushing for a win maybe tough.

The quicker we can get these next 100 or so I reckon we’re after the more chance we give ourselves of bowling them out.

I would think we will want a 400 run lead, which may result in 10 or so overs at them tonight.

Yep it does look like pitch is flattening out, so makes the Mullaney Carter partnership yesterday so annoying.

Was worried that those three quick wickets would result in us limping to a declaration (in order to ensure first and foremost that we still got a healthy lead). So well done to Alsop and Holland for smashing those quicks runs.

Real opportunity to put another win on the board from here. Bowl well, guys.

Radio said pitch is lifeless.

Also said Notts can’t use heavy roller as they used it in first innings, so that helps us.

Rahane wicket turned massively out of nowhere, Barkers footholes could be crucial.

Abbott has put down Joe Clarke off Barkers bowling.

Could be costly

Not costly at all.

Abbott gets him next over.

Don’t think we’re gonna have enough time to get them all. Notts bat very deep

5 down, 2 from tail.

169/8

OK guys ... when was the last time Hampshire had won 3 matches before the end of May?

And we already have 14 of the 16 batting points got last year!

If we're sat here in seven days time with two more wins under our belts, it will have the makings of a very memorable season.

On the other hand, lose them both and our brilliant start to the season will have been well and truely hosed down.
