Hampshire Vs. Lancashire LVCC Day Two.

Agathangelou completes ton but rain prevents progress.

Starting the second day of this LV County Championship encounter on a valiant 93 not out, Andrea Agathangelou completed his maiden century for Lancashire, but heavy rain halted both teams from making further progress. 

With the help of Simon Kerrigan, Agathangelou was able to see Lancashire past 250 to reach their second batting point, but the tenth wicket fell five runs shy of the 300 mark as the centurion was run out by Danny Briggs fielding at square-leg. The last wicket attributed 70 runs out of Lancashire's final total of 295, but after the collapse of the middle-order, this score was certainly a competitive effort from the visitors. 

Hampshire made a cautious start to their innings, failing to register a single run before losing their first wicket. After scoring 66 in the Yorkshire Bank 40 match, Jimmy Adams will be disappointed to have been dismissed by Kyle Hogg for naught. Michael Carberry and Liam Dawson both finished on 2 not out, as heavy rain prevented further play at the Ageas Bowl, but the weather for the next two days promises to be an improvement on what has occurred today.
