  1. 'That's a big wicket'

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 107-4 - DLS target 188

    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    Jake Libby goes for 37 and Scott Currie has done it. What figures he has at the moment, 2-14 starting his fourth over and that's a big wicket.

    Libby who averages well over 50 in this day cricket has fallen, the thinnest of outside edges.

    What started off brightly for Worcestershire has become a little more of a test as they work through their reply.

    Josh: "Chances are going for Worcestershire Rapids. Boundaries needed, their only hope is Brookes and Jones now."

    Big wicket.

    Worcs needed Jake Libby to stay in to give themselves a better chance here but he's just edged behind to give Scott Currie a second scalp.

    The pressure was building with runs needed and he went for a big shot but just got it wrong.

    It's looking tricky for Worcs now.

  4. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 107-3 - DLS target 188

    The run rate has crept above 10 now.

    No signs of panic from Worcs but they do need to start finding the boundary with more regularity.

    And as I write that Ethan Brookes strokes Kyle Abbott away for four.

  5. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 100-3 - DLS target 188

    Fine shot from Ethan Brookes goes for four, offering a glimpse of his talent.

    Jake Libby then takes a single to get Worcs to 100.

  6. 'Ali never got going'

    Kashif Ali never got going at all. They put on 62 in 10 overs but Kashif is not great reverse sweeper to be fair, he's forced into it and he hit it dead straight to Fletcha Middleton, who didn't have to move.

    That's big blow for Worcs.

    Kashif Ali picks out Fletcha Middleton with reverse sweep off the spin of Andrew Neal and departs for 25 from 33.

    His partnership with Jake Libby was solid but unspectacular.

    Ethan Brookes comes to the crease - he's more than capable of a big innings and Worcs need that from him now.

  8. 'Pears will still fancy their chances'

    Worcestershire will still fancy their chances, the equation is still quite comfortable at this stage, I don't think there's any need to panic.

    They've got a partnership which is the main thing they're after. Can they keep it going?

  9. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 84-2 - DLS target 188

    Kashif Ali and Jake Libby reach the 50 partnership.

    A lucky boost there for the former as he edges Andrew Neal but it flies past the keeper and away for four.

  10. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 83-2 - DLS target 188

    The sun is now shining down on Trent Bridge and it looks beautiful out there.

    Those hardy fans who have stayed throughout the day are being rewarded at last.

    Scott Currie sticks out a hand to stop Kashif Ali's straight drive and likely saved a couple there.

  11. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 80-2 - DLS target 188

    It's been a while since the last boundary.

    Worcs are dealing in singles at present and they need more.

    Easier said than done against Kyle Abbott and Scott Currie though.

  12. 'Hampshire will know they'll need boundaries at some point'

    Hampshire will know that at some point they'll need to find a boundary in every over. Can't afford to have dot balls so that will definitely be going through Jake Libby's mind.

  13. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 78-2 - DLS target 188

    Kyle Abbott with a couple of excellent deliveries that beat the bat.

    He's getting upwards of 80mph now.

    Jake Libby and Kashif Ali then race through for a single.

  14. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 77-2 - DLS target 188

    Kashif Ali is just being checked over as that delivery came through and struck him on the helmet.

    He looks to be fine and is getting his gloves back on.

    Looking upwards, what's that?

    It's a glorious blue sky!

  15. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 77-2 - DLS target 188

    Brad Wheal comes back into the attack for Hampshire and it's a decent comeback - just five off the over.

  16. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 71-2 - DLS target 188

    Great footwork from Jake Libby who comes down to meet Andrew Neal and goes over the top.

    One bounce four.

  17. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 65-2 - DLS target 188

    A good over from Pears, who need to start making a move now you feel.

    11 from it.

  18. 'The most authoritative shot of the innings so far'

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 60-2 - DLS target 188

    Frank Watson
    BBC Hereford & Worcester

    That's the most authoritative shot of the innings so far and it's been played by Jake Libby. Not often we say that about Jake Libby but he's absolutely smashed that over the mid-wicket boundary for six.

    Great shot.

    That's woken up the Worcestershire fans.

  19. 6 runs

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 60-2 - DLS target 188

    Hooked away gloriously by Jake Libby who connects with the middle of the bat and picks up six runs on the leg side boundary.

    That's more like it from Pears.

  20. 50 runs

    50 up for Worcs

    Jake Libby picks up a single and, so with it, comes up Worcestershire's 50.

    With the following delivery, Kashif Ali looks to go for the big shot but the ball sticks in the turf and is prevented for going for four by sub fielder Tom Prest on the boundary.
