County Championship: Hampshire beat Leicestershire by an innings and 105 runs

Kyle Abbott got the first of the two wickets Hampshire needed to secure victory at Leicester

Hampshire needed half an hour to wrap up their County Championship Group Two innings win over Leicestershire, who were bowled out for 305.

After being denied on Saturday by bad light, following an improved batting performance in Leicestershire's second innings, Hampshire got the job done in the eighth over of the final day.

Kyle Abbott got the first wicket, trapping Gavin Griffiths lbw for 16.

Mohammad Abbas then bowled last man Alex Evans, leaving Chris Wright on 41.

Abbott finished with match figures of 5-80 and Abbas 3-68, while spinner Mason Crane took 6-151.

Nixon unhappy with 'stumping' incident

A statement is due to be issued by the England and Wales Cricket Board over Saturday's dismissal of Leicestershire batsman Hassan Azad by Hampshire wicketkeeper Lewis McManus.

He was given out stumped in Leicestershire's second innings after Lewis McManus knocked off the bails with his left hand while holding the ball in the air with his right hand appealing for a catch.

This was contrary to Law 29 - that the ball has to be in the hand that breaks the stumps.

It went unspotted at the time by match umpires Michael Gough and Billy Taylor - but match referee Stuart Cummings was made aware of it a few overs later by Leicestershire head coach Paul Nixon, the former England one-day international wicketkeeper.

"We were disappointed with what happened," Nixon told BBC Radio Leicester. "We've spoken to the match referee.

"It's something we don't want to see in our game - I've never seen it before in all my years of cricket, and we'll wait to see how the ECB handle it."

Leicestershire chief executive Sean Jarvis says the club will be writing to the ECB to "express their disappointment with the behaviour of the Hampshire wicketkeeper".

Hampshire captain James Vince told BBC Solent Sport: "Having watched it back and seen it, Lewis is pretty down about how it looks.

"But, from his and the team's point of view, we weren't aware there was an issue until a few overs after when Paul Nixon went and spoke to the match referee and we heard a bit of commotion.

"There was an appeal for caught behind as the guys around the bat thought he'd edged it. Had we known instantly and had the luxury of seeing footage before the batsman walked off, we would have called him back.

"Knowing Lewis and the professional is, if he'd known exactly what he'd done he would have stood up and said something. It doesn't look great but there were split seconds involved and it's a natural instinct for a wicketkeeper to take the balls off."

Match referee Cummings, who spoke to both captains after the game, confirmed that an ECB statement would follow.
