Ireland are batting, its dull and raining a bit in the area, so I suspect they lost the toss.

Looks like TJ went a bit mad towards the end

221 - 6 TJ 52*

A target to defend

Revised target is 233 for Hampshire off the 48overs under D/L

Sounds like Hampshires start might be delayed cause of rain

Absolutely lashing it down according to the radio.

Marshy

Another disappointing loss it seems. Bowling doesnt seem up to it without Rankin. Though perhaps several months of non stop cricket is catching up with the lads.

KevIRL

174-2 (28ovs)

Last over. Hampshire need just the one run

KevIRL

178-2(28.2ovs)

Hampshire win by 8 wickets

Altogether too easy for Hampshire. 24 extras didnt help at all. Plus Pietersen was dropped a couple of times, and a run out chance missed against him as well
