Read MoreMatch abandoned in Southamptonpublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 5 May
Result: Hampshire (470) drew with Durham (511 & 61-0)
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleThis game has thankfully been put out of its misery. On a cold afternoon in Southampton, with few in the ground, the umpires have decided that's that.
It's a mirror image of the draw here last year. That was a game heading nowhere, which also came to a premature ending because of a bit of wet weather.
Hampshire remain unbeaten this season and take 12 points from the encounter and Durham are now unbeaten in three and take 13 points, as they head into a week off.
