  1. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 47-2 - DLS target 188

    A welcome boundary for Worcestershire and it is beautifully timed by captain Jake Libby.

    You feel if Pears have a chance at chasing down this target he will have to stay at the crease for most of this innings now.

  2. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 40-2 - DLS target 188

    Andrew NealRex Features

    We see our first bit of spin this afternoon as Andrew Neal is on and he goes for just a couple in his first over.

    Hawks have been very tight in their approach so far as the required run rate goes to above eight an over.

  3. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 38-2 - DLS target 188

    Good bit of movement from James Fuller sees him nip one away from new man in Kashif Ali.

    Ali was drawn into the drive but misses the outside edge by centemetres.

    The following ball is a wild one from Fuller and Ali has the simplest of tasks of putting it away at fine leg for four.

    Pears are still well behind the required run rate here.

  4. 'Lategan just lost his head'

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 32-2 - DLS target 188

    Michael Carberry
    Former England batter on BBC Radio Solent

    We talked Dan Lategan up and the young man just lost his head, maybe he just got over excited, not resetting himself after the loss of a wicket.

    That's a big blow for Worcestershire but great bowling from Scott Currie.

  5. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 32-2 - DLS target 188

    An excellent start from Scott Currie who picks up the key wicket of Dan Lategan and concedes just the one run in his first over.

  6. 'That make things very interesting'

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 31-2 - DLS target 188

    Melinda Farrell
    Sports broadcaster/journalist on BBC Radio Solent

    Scott Currie might not have played for England this week but he's playing for Hampshire and that's all the fans will worry about.

    That make things very interesting.

    Dan LateganRex Features

    Oh big, big wicket this.

    Dan Lategan, who looked impressive from the start of his innings, doesn't move his feet at all on this one and edges Scott Currie's first delivery of the match behind the stumps to Ben Brown who makes a simple catch.

  8. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 31-1 (DLS target to win 188)

    Following a good start from Worcestershire, the Hawks have put the Rapids under some good pressure since the wicket.

    A terrific over from Kyle Abbott who has found his line and length in his third over - just one run coming from it.

    Pears' first Powerplay is done - 31-1

    Gareth Roderick is dismissedRex Features

    First wicket goes down for the Rapids!

    Straight into the action, James Fuller tempts Gareth Roderick with a wide one and he slices to sub fielder Tom Prest who comes running in from the boundary to take a terrific low catch, diving on the run.

    The run rate has gone back up to seven now for Pears.

  10. 'A beautiful shot from Lategan'

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 28-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Frank Watson
    BBC Hereford & Worcester

    That's a beautiful shot. Full and straight from Brad Wheal and hammered straight down the ground Dan Lategan.

    Absolutely brilliant shot from the young man. Superb.

    Worcestershire are scoring at the rate the they need to score at or course, but it's a great start.

  11. Glorious shot

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 28-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Glorious stroke down the ground from Dan Lategan takes him very quickly on to 16 not out off just seven.

    Pears have started this run chase well - currently going at seven an over.

  12. 'What a shot from Lategan'

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 23-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Kevan James
    BBC Radio Solent commentator

    What a shot that is from Dan Lategan. It wasn't a poor delivery as such, it was just a bit full and he has climbed into that one.

    The crowd go wild again and Lategan is giving them plenty to cheer.

  13. 6 runs

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 23-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Not a bad ball from Brad Wheal at all but the confident Dan Lategan charges down the pitch and crashes a massive six over cow corner.

  14. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 16-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Kyle AbbottRex Features

    In the slot from Kyle Abbott and Gareth Roderick firmly drives down the ground for four.

    Roderick didn't quite time it but his strength took the ball to the boundary.

  15. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 12-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Brad Wheal's first over is slightly less eventful, going for just three singles.

  16. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 9-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Dan LateganRex Features

    Dan Lategan gets off the mark with a lovely drive, flashing through cover.

    Nine off the first over for the Rapids.

  17. Hants 237-7 v Worcs 5-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    After leaving the first ball, Gareth Roderick gets the Rapids' innings underway by clipping the ball into the leg side for a boundary which can not be prevented by centurion Ali Orr.

    With the next ball, Roderick chips the ball but Hampshire captain Neil Gubbins at midwicket slips when he looks to try and grab.

    The slippery conditions are already causing havoc in the first over of this Pears innings.

  18. 'We should get nearly two hours in'

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 0-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Dave Bradley
    BBC Hereford & Worcester cricket commentator

    We reckon we got nearly two hours to get these overs in.

    Of course we play cricket until 20:00 or 21:00 under floodlights in this country but it could be that the natural light takes them off but it'd be disappointing if it did.

  19. Play set to resume at 5:15pm

    Hants 237-7 v Worcs 0-0 (DLS target to win 188)

    Right, who is ready for some cricket?

    Kyle Abbott will bowl the first ball to Gareth Roderick.

    Graham: "Hampshire conceded almost 200 off 20 overs last Saturday...yikes."

    Josh: "Rapids have got to start things off with boundary as they usually do, wickets will be crucial for Hampshire. Lategan, Brookes and Kashif Ali are the ones to do it for the Pears."
