Dawson strikes, nicked behind and that's the mercy blow! Forcing shot from Bamber and the last-wicket rearguard ends at 36 from 12.5 overs. Hampshire cruise to victory inside the morning session here, and have two victories from two to start the season

Some belated resistance again from Middlesex, similar to the Gubbins-White stand on day three. Looks like Dawson is limbering up to return at the Pavilion End. Five minutes until the scheduled lunch break, but they can play on with a result in sight

pushed through, skidding leg side as Finn essays a sweep, McManus appeals as he jumps across to collect... maybe flicked the pad
