Day four report

Lancashire overcame an early rain delay to complete a dominant innings-and-30-run victory against Hampshire.

The Red Rose needed five wickets on the final day at Emirates Old Trafford and, after losing 70 minutes of the opening session, duly secured victory in the middle of the afternoon session.

James Anderson took another wicket, leaving him with figures of four for 20, while former Hampshire all-rounder Ryan McLaren and Kyle Jarvis each took another two scalps as Hampshire were dismissed for 168.

Lancashire's 24-point haul moves them up to second in County Championship Division One.

Anderson struck with the fifth delivery of the day as nightwatchman Matt Salisbury edged to Dane Vilas at first slip to leave Hampshire 51 for six.

The visitors' main hope of avoiding defeat was the rain that soon followed sticking around for the whole day but play resumed shortly before lunch and Sean Ervine inside-edged Jarvis on to his leg stump.

At the end of the first session, Hampshire still needed 117 more runs to make Lancashire bat again and, despite adding more runs for their last three wickets than their first seven, they fell 30 runs short.

Lewis McManus reached 24 before McLaren's fourth lbw appeal in the space of a few overs was given by umpire Paul Baldwin and the South African struck in his next over to have compatriot Kyle Abbott caught down the leg side for 11.

Gareth Berg offered resistance, adding 48 runs for the last wicket alongside Brad Taylor, but was dismissed one run short of a half-century when he edged behind to wicketkeeper Alex Davies.

Day three report

Dane Vilas' career-best double hundred and three wickets from England paceman James Anderson helped put Lancashire on the brink of victory in their Specsavers County Championship clash with Hampshire at Emirates Old Trafford.

Vilas struck 244 to guide Lancashire to a mammoth 595 - a first-innings lead of 198 - before three wickets for Anderson and another for Kyle Jarvis reduced Hampshire to 26 for four inside 11 overs and by the close, the visitors had struggled to 50 for five.

Vilas began the day on 76 and was dropped off the second and third balls he faced from Brad Taylor.

Sean Ervine grassed the first chance at slip and Michael Carberry dropped the second at mid-off and Vilas took full advantage of the opportunities he was afforded by helping Ryan McLaren add 129 in 31 overs in the morning session.

The pair had extended their sixth-wicket partnership to 184 at lunch, setting a new sixth-wicket record for Lancashire against Hampshire.

Hampshire's bowlers took three wickets in the afternoon session but Lancashire's batsmen had built a first-innings lead of 124 by tea and still had two wickets in hand when the players came in with the home side on 519 for eight and Vilas unbeaten on 194.

McLaren became the third Lancashire centurion when he struck Kyle Abbott for three successive leg-side fours but the former Hampshire all-rounder was leg before to Gareth Berg for 107 soon afterwards.

That ended McLaren's 221-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Vilas, the fourth-highest sixth-wicket stand in the county's history.

Hampshire enjoyed further success when Jordan Clark was leg before to Matt Salisbury for 24 and Stephen Parry was caught at short leg by Jimmy Adams off the persevering Taylor. However, the off-spinner was hit for three sixes in an over by Vilas as the South African cut loose in the evening against a tired attack.

Jarvis fell to Berg for 30 and Vilas was last man out, caught at short third man by Ervine off Salisbury. He struck 25 fours and four sixes in his 275-ball stay. Berg was the most successful Hampshire bowler with a haul of four for 111.

Anderson then ran through the Hampshire batting, dismissing Adams and Rille Rossouw for nought with successive deliveries and Jarvis bowled Carberry, playing no shot, for 10.

Anderson's mastery of the swinging ball was again in evidence when he had George Bailey leg before for 10 and the England seamer finished with figures of 8-4-5-3.

James Vince then fell two overs from stumps for 29 when he drove McLaren to Rob Jones at short extra cover.

Day two report

Alex Davies' third Championship century of the season and an unbeaten 76 by Dane Vilas enabled Lancashire to recover from 69 for three in their Specsavers County Championship Division One match against Hampshire.

The home side reached the close on 278 for five in reply to Hampshire's 395.

Davies was eventually caught at deep square leg by Michael Carberry off James Vince for 115 but by then he had faced 188 balls and hit 17 fours and a six in an eventful innings which also included two dropped catches and a missed run out opportunity.

However, the Lancashire opener had been aided in the task of restoring his side's fortunes by Shivnarine Chanderpaul, with whom he put on 74 in 16 overs.

That partial recovery ended a few overs before tea when Chanderpaul was neatly stumped by Lewis McManus for 33 after being well beaten by a ball from Brad Taylor which turned beyond the edge of his bat.

What was noticeable and quite unexpected about the Davies and Chanderpaul stand was the freedom with which both batsmen played.

Having garnered only two runs from five overs at the outset of their partnership, the pair added 47 from the next five with both batsmen hitting Taylor for six and Sean Ervine conceding 20 runs in his two overs of anodyne slowish bowling.

Davies then went on to share a stand of 80 for the fifth wicket with Vilas, who batted impressively in the evening session.

Ryan McLaren was unbeaten on 23 at stumps by which time Lancashire were 117 in arrears, all of which represented a considerable improvement for the home side on the position in mid-afternoon when Steven Croft was leg before to Kyle Abbott for one with the home side still 326 runs behind Hampshire's total.

Lancashire had earlier lost Rob Jones leg before to Gareth Berg for two, and Luke Procter for eight when the left-hander lost his off stump to a Berg inswinger.

In the first session of the day Abbott was left three runs short of what would have been his maiden first-class hundred, although his 134-ball 97 had made a major contribution to Hampshire's substantial first innings total.

The visitors were eventually bowled out for 395 which was a stark improvement on being 177 for six at one stage.

The session had begun well for the home side when Taylor was caught at slip by McLaren off James Anderson for 18 in the third over of the day.

However, Matt Salisbury and Abbott then added 43 runs in untroubled fashion before Salisbury, having made a composed 14, skied McLaren to Chanderpaul at mid-on.

In reply Lancashire were in trouble early on before Davies and Vilas brought them back into proceedings.

Day one report

George Bailey's five-hour century and some determined resistance from Hampshire's lower order gave the visitors the upper hand on 351 for eight at the end of a fluctuating first day in this Specsavers County Championship match at Emirates Old Trafford.

The Australian made 127 and hit 17 of the 187 balls he received to the boundary in occupying the crease for more than five hours.

Even more significantly, he shared four fifty-plus partnerships to enable his side to recover from 125 for five.

Encouragingly from a Hampshire perspective, Kyle Abott is 76 not out, having batted with good sense in his attacking style, and the South African now has an opportunity to strengthen his team's position on the second morning and overtake his career-best score of 80.

However, the visitors' prosperity on the first evening of this Division One game was in sharp contrast to their position after the morning session, when Steven Croft's six-man attack took three wickets in the opening 65 minutes.

That the visitors reached 84 for three at lunch was testament to the vigilance of Bailey and James Vince, who ensured that Lancashire made no further breakthroughs after Michael Carberry's flat-footed slash had only given a catch to Alex Davies off Ryan McLaren.

The Hampshire opener departed for 14 but his was the third wicket to fall in 23 balls after Kyle Jarvis had marked his return to the side after injury by removing both Jimmy Adams and Rilee Rossouw.

Adams was caught at cover by Rob Jones for 16 when looking to play to leg and the out-of-form Rossouw was early on Jarvis' slower ball and gave a return catch to the bowler.

Hampshire skipper Bailey shared a stand of 69 for the fourth wicket with Vince, who was leg before to Luke Procter for 22, and another of 52 for the sixth wicket with Lewis McManus.

In addition to Vince's wicket, Procter also dismissed Sean Ervine, who was caught behind for seven when fencing at a ball outside the off stump.

The other wicket in the afternoon session fell to Jordan Clark, who had McManus pouched at second slip by Jimmy Anderson for 15.

In the evening session Bailey took his seventh-wicket stand with Gareth Berg to 55 before the ex-Middlesex all-rounder was leg before to Stephen Parry for 27.

That only brought Abbott to the crease and the pair added 83 in 78 minutes before Bailey gave Anderson his first wicket of the day when his attempted cut only bottom-edged the ball into his stumps.

Abbott and Brad Taylor - playing because spinners Mason Crane and Liam Dawson have both been included in England's Twenty20 squad to face South Africa - added a further 37 runs before the close.

All six Lancashire bowlers took wickets, with Jarvis' two for 59 and Procter's two for 49 the pick of the figures.
