Hants roots after Dawson takes five Bears wickets

Vitality County Championship Division One, Utilita Bowl , Southampton (second day)Warwickshire 455: Davies 149; Dawson 5-146Hampshire 140-1: Gubbins 67*, Middleton 61*Hampshire (1 pt) trails Warwickshire (3 pts) by 315 runsMatch scorecard

The left-arm spinner Dawson had five fives this time last year, but after a personal best season with 49 scalps, he now has double that number after beating the Bears on flat ground.

His 5-146 stopped Warwickshire at 455 before Fletcha Middleton and Nick Gubbins unhurriedly scored half-centuries in response.< /p>

The duo put on 124 together for the unbroken second wicket to take Hampshire to 140-1 - 315 behind the visitors - at the end of the day.

Warwickshire resumed to find ground which had become slow and harder to score quickly - the rate dropping from 3.5 points per over on the first day to 3.1 on the second - but just as difficult to find breakthroughs with the ball.

Night watchman Danny Briggs was a particular frustration for his former county as he valiantly kept Dan Mousley company for almost an hour, in a stand of 46 runs.

His wicket, thrown around his legs by his good friend Dawson, did not was enough to give the hosts more than a bowling bonus point, while Warwickshire fell nine runs short of 400 in their quest for a fourth batting run.

The Dukes' return to the balls did not see a marked difference to what was seen in the match against Lancashire, but Hampshire got to through five balls during their bowling effort, as the ball regularly ended up distorted.

Warwickshire had to also replace their original ball in the 40th.
