Hook & Newnham Basics pace bowling prospect Max Simpson (pictured) took 5-20 as Hampshire bowled their Sussex counterparts out for 180 in the ECB Under-18 County Championship at Winchester College today/Tuesday.
Sussex hit back and had reduced Hampshire to 115-5 by stumps on the first day, Dom Kelly (36) and Tom Cheater (27) top scoring.
But a 150-run partnership between Alton all-rounder Jude Wright (82) and Joe Eckland (60) has put Hampshire in a strong position at lunch on day two.
Hampshire's U16 Development side inched a shallow seven-run first innings lead against Surrey YCs in the scheduled but eventually abandoned two-day match at Alton's well appointed Jubilee Ground. Alton's Jude Wright hit 69 and Ethan Baker 27* as Hampshire made 181 after Surrey had posted 174-8 declared.
