BBC Radio Nottingham's Dave Bracegirdle at Trent Bridge:

"Hampshire faced an anxious wait to see if their efforts had been enough to preserve their First Division status after defeating Nottinghamshire by eight wickets at Trent Bridge.

"The opening stand between Jimmy Adams and Michael Carberry reached 129 before Adams chopped on to his stumps after making 70l. Carberry closed on 84 not out and Will Smith was unbeaten on 34 at the end. 

"The outcome left the victors sweating on news from Headingley, where their survival hopes depended on Sussex losing to Yorkshire. Nottinghamshire’s defeat, their first in eight matches, confirmed their third place finish in the table."

Roberto Martinez on Ross Barkley: "The next step is being able to be consistent. I've been very impressed with his consistency this season, young players often lose their level.

"He's been consistent since the first game which is not normal for a young man to have that responsibility and that bravery."

"Last year he had an injury just before the season, then you're catching up constantly. This campaign he came back refreshed, had a good summer and all the lessons made him a better player and that continuity has helped him to a fluent start to the campaign."

Roberto Martinez says centre-back John Stones is touch and go for Monday's game at West Brom, while full-back Seamus Coleman will be assessed ahead of the match at The Hawthorns.

"The excitement is there, with the group of players we have. Our level of performances have probably been better than the points return. I'd rather have the performances than the points at this stage, but in general terms we are very aware of the level of competition we have faced so far."
