Kid Sampson

Warwickshire 580 for 6 (142 overs). Clarke 85, Botha 37.

Hampshire have disintegrated. Clarke, on 73, was dropped off a sitter by Tomlinson at mid-off off Balcombe then played the next ball straight back to the bowler who shied it in dudgeon past the batsman and the wicket-keeper for four overthrows.

Clarke has been merciless and in 18 overs this partnership has raised 104 of the most serene straightforward runs you could ever see.

20 overs left today. Declaration must surely come soon.
