County Championship: Hain hundred helps Bears draw with Hampshire

It was all Hampshire earlier as only first-innings half-centurion Dan Mousley (37) and nighwatchman Danny Briggs (25) made any worthwhile contributions.

Bears old boy Keith Barker and Kyle Abbott each took two wickets – and it looked an inevitable outcome.

But the hosts had more about them than that and for almost four hours Hain and Burgess looked untroubled.

Then spinner Felix Organ got one to turn and bounce to have Burgess snapped up by Nick Gubbins at silly point. And just 14 balls later, Hampshire struck again after another James Vince bowling change, bringing back Fuller for Barker.

England all-rounder Chris Woakes, who made just six in the first innings, again went cheaply, as he was bowled by Fuller – and suddenly there was a real hope that Hampshire might snatch victory after all.

But Hain and Hannon-Dalby saw it through to earn the still winless Bears their sixth draw in eight games – and keep them 17 points clear of their Midlands neighbours, also winless Worcestershire, in the first of the two relegation places.

Warwickshire now head for Taunton this Sunday to face Somerset, while Hants, who move up to fifth, host bottom club Kent.
