Day: September 1, 2011

Jimmy Adams and Michael Carberry set a new Hampshire record with a
second-wicket stand of 373 on the second day of the Championship
match with Somerset at Taunton

Stuart Meaker took five wickets as Surrey seized the initiative on day two of
the County Championship match against Division Two leaders Northamptonshire
at Wantage Road

Kent look set to wrap up a convincing County Championship win over Division
Two rivals Essex with a day to spare, but may yet pay the price for preparing a
below-par pitch for this end-of-season encounter at Canterbury

Scott Borthwick’s maiden five-wicket haul revived Durham ‘s County Championship title challenge at Hove and deepened Sussex ‘s relegation fears

Alan Richardson bagged a six-wicket haul as Worcestershire boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation and dented Lancashire’s title bid with a crushing 10-wicket win

The biggest mystery of the day came from the Bulawayo pitch and Zimbabwe’s opener Vusi Sibanda said he was surprised that it didn’t do much, while Mohammad Hafeez said the challenge would benefit Pakistan’s inexperienced bowlers

Another century by Shivnarine Chanderapaul further undermined Yorkshire’s hold
on Division One status and edged Warwickshire closer to the County
Championship crown at Edgbaston

It is understandable that Leicestershire haven’t been entirely focussed since their Twenty20 triumph on Saturday
