Close, day two: Hampshire 362-2 v Leicestershire

Leicestershire 0pts, Hampshire 4pts

Centuries by James Vince and Liam Dawson allowed Hampshire to dominate day two at bottom club Leicestershire.

After losing the first day to rain, Matthew Hoggard bowled a tight, but wicketless opening spell for the home side in his final first-class game.

But Sean Terry made 57 and Dawson (136) and Vince (145) shared a stand of 248, which was still unbroken at the close of play with the visitors on 362-2.

It was the impressive Vince's third century in as many matches.

He followed his hundreds against Worcestershire and Lancashire by hitting a six and 25 fours, while partner Dawson reached his maiden first-class ton this summer after over three hours at the crease.

It was a frustrating day for Leicestershire, who rotated nine bowlers during the day, with Ben Raine (1-66) and Shiv Thakor (1-32) the only ones to achieve a breakthrough.
