Hampshire and Gloucestershire complete wins

Division One

Points Table
Hampshire completed two convincing one-day wins in three days in despatching Worcestershire at New Road in the latest round of the National League. The visitors chased down their target of 186 within 34 overs, with Shane Watson and John Crawley leading the charge. Earlier, Dimitri Mascarenhas mixed up his pace successfully, as is his wont, and he took 2 for 34 from 7 overs. Shaun Udal was also among the wickets again, with 2 for 38 from 7, as Hampshire's bowlers worked as an effective unit once more, taking wickets at regular intervals to break partnerships at key moments.

A disappointing three days for Lancashire concluded with defeat at the hands of Gloucestershire at Old Trafford. Andrew Symonds' century-making form continued - this time he hit 129 from 120 balls, and was well supported by Mark Chilton who hit 59 as Lancashire put on 267. But it wasn't enough, and although Gloucestershire were in trouble at 47 for 4, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Mark Hardinges each struck unbeaten centuries, putting on 221 between them, to take them home.
