Pears strike late against Hants on rain-affected day
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Visit Worcestershire New Road (day one)Hampshire 146-2: Middleton 79, Weatherley 62Worcestershire: Yet to batHants (0 pts), Worcs (0 pts)Match scorecard Worcestershire struck two late blows after Hampshire's batters had laid a solid foundation on a truncated first day of their County Championship match at Visit Worcestershire New in search of their first championship victory since mid-May, closed on 146 for two having reached 127 without loss before losing openers Fletcha Middleston (79, 101 balls) and Joe Weatherley (62, 130) in a late burst of play in poor were blows badly needed by Worcestershire, bottom of Division One and desperate for a win to sustain their slender hopes of a wet outfield prevented play before lunch, the home side chose to bowl in conditions still damp from morning rain, but the assistance for the seamers they hoped for did not materialise. Pakistan pace spearhead Khurram Shahzad was expensive as Weatherley and Middleton put 50 on the board by the 14th Winchester-born openers were little troubled by a Worcestershire attack bruised by last week's heartbreaking defeat to neighbours Warwickshire. Having dominated the first half of the match at Edgbaston, the Pears suffered a devastating defeat as Warwickshire chased down 393 on the last on home turf, the Worcestershire attack, with Matthew Waite returning from paternity leave in place of Sussex loanee Bertie Foreman, again toiled. Middleton hurried to his half-century from 51 balls and Weatherley followed to his from openers were looking forward to a productive evening session only for the rain to return during the tea interval and prevent play until a late resumption at 6pm. Hampshire's openers ventured back out with little to gain and everything to lose – and the home side took advantage of the murky, moist conditions. Middleton edged Tom Taylor to wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick, who took a superb catch in front of first slip, and Weatherly edged Ben Allison to Ethan Brookes at second wickets were an unwelcome postscript to a hitherto excellent day for Hampshire but they have still set down a solid platform from which to push for a victory that would lift them away from the relegation zone – and pretty much sentence Worcestershire to end the season in it.

Welcome to this final round of summer cricket – the next time we meet, the days will be drawing in, the coats zipping up. With four rounds to go, things are hotting up. Surrey, who play Durham, are just one point ahead of Notts, who play Somerset – who are not themselves yet out or contention. Worcestershire look almost certain to go down, but there's a dog fight for the second relegation spot – if that's what there will be (more on this later). Yorkshire need a win against Sussex at the seaside. In Division Two, Leicestershire are within touching distance of promotion, and get a free hit this round (Kent). Glamorgan, visiting Old Trafford, are best placed for the second spot, although the big beasts breathe fast upon their necks. Play starts at 11am, and though the vagaries of public transport mean I won't quite be in my seat at Scarborough, please join us!
