Play underway at Southampton
8/0 1.5 overs
Minimum 68 overs left 290 req'd for Hants...a rare thing for me to say i would welcome a 10 wicket blitz from Tykes.

I live about a mile away and it has stopped raining....but would have thought that outfield would mean certainly no play till 16:00 leaving about 15 overs till 17:00
then however many Middx can bowl in the final hour...Spinners on a wet pitch with a wet ball. They shouldn't be able to bowl us out.
See what inspection brings.

36 overs to bowl us out as light stops play at Southampton with score 84/4 from 31.4 overs. So as one game ceases, Tea will be taken, another one
commences.

That could be tricky especially with our brittle batting. More rain looks likely from the latest BBC weather forecast  (hopefully)!!

Rayner to Bell, 5 round the bat....3
rd ball Bell edges just short of slip.

Single to Bell 75/3....very grey overhead
13 Bell

Umpires taking a reading of light.

Toby Roland Jones been told can't bowl due to light. Basically spin only...very dark.
Looks like Ravi Patel bowling which means will likely get more than 36 overs in the 130
minutes left.
