Hampshire had some early good fortune at the start of the fourth and final day of their championship clash with leicestershire.
White was neatly caught first slip off a Boswell no-ball, and the the same batsman was dropped by Burns when on 26.
Leicestershire already missing much of their main bowling attack, saw Dakin limp off after just one over. The opening attack of the day included change bowler Vince Wells taking the mantle.
Morris the Hampshire night-watchman domintated a partnership of 99 with White, and with Hampshire hopes of achieving their target of 279, both were dismissed within seven balls of each other. White pushed forward to Williamson and was bowled, Morris edged off-spinner Crowe to Smith at slip. Morris's career best 60 included 11 fours.
Skipper Robin Smith and Jason Laney guided their side to lunch still needing a further 120 to win.
