North goes east

Hampshire 351 for 9 (112 overs) Pothas 103, Tomlinson 0.

Balcombe missed a straight one from Rankin and was lbw for 0.

A rather large boost for the Bears' prospects in this match. Marcus North has been called up by Australia with immediate effect and has departed to join up with his national team in Dubai.

So Hampshire are a key man down.
