Mike and Bob
Hampshire 331 for 7 (104 overs). Pothas 93, Tremlett 26.
Sedate progress. The eighth-wicket pair have so far added 60, almost halfway to Hampshire's record eighth-wicket stand against Warwickshire - 124 by Mike Taylor and Bob Stephenson at Portsmouth in 1974.
Woakes and Rankin have bowled this morning and beaten the bat from time to time but this appears to be a situation where a spinner would be nifty.
That's not BBC WM's Mike Taylor, by the way.

"this appears to be a situation where a spinner would be nifty"
Is Botha not able to bowl?
I think he said a spinner. He really need Ant to step up and take a few wickets.
Come on Ant!
Hi Windy - I know Botha is still in quite a lot of discomfort from his elbow. He only bowled one over yesterday, right at the end.
Sort of begs the question why he's playing though...
indeed, maybe they are gambling on him being fine for the second innings when the pitch may turn.
does JO Troughton not bowl anymore, he used to be a reasonable spinner
Those who have seen me bat would not have required your clarification, although I did once take part in an unbroken 10th-wicket century partnership, to which I contributed 1*.
I am also not a particularly nifty spinner, sorry. Can your release from your Stoneleigh contract not be speeded up?
I bet it was a lovely single, though, stroked classically through the covers.
On-driven past second slip as I recall.
