Adil Rashid took seven wickets as Hampshire matched Yorkshire's 236

Adil Rashid took seven wickets for 107 runs as Yorkshire dismissed Hampshire for an identical first-innings score in their LV County Championship Division One clash at The Rose Bowl.

They were career-best figures for the promising leg-spinner, whose victims included Michael Brown (45) and Michael Carberry (46) - who shared in an opening-wicket stand of 82.

Rashid also captured the top-order wickets of Chris Benham, who was lbw to his first ball, and Michael Lumb (21) who was caught by Adam Lyth.

Earlier in the day Hampshire took Yorkshire’s three remaining wicket for 30 runs to wrap up the innings on 236 with South African Jacques Rudolph top-scoring with 89.

Nottinghamshire added just 45 runs to their overnight total as they were bowled out for 230 by Somerset at Taunton.

Skipper Chris Read was unbeaten on 74 and received little support from the tail with Mark Ealham, Andre Adams and Darren Pattinson all out for nought.

Somerset openers Justin Langer (60 not out) and Marcus Trescothick (50no) made amends for their poor first innings as they both hit half-centuries in a an unbroken first-wicket stand of 114.

Sussex batsman Chris Nash hit his maiden first-class century in his side’s clash with Lancashire at Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old hit 108 to help the defending champions overtake the Red Rose’s first-innings effort of 206 to post a total of 316 themselves.

Nash hit 14 fours during his innings before he was eventually trapped lbw by Steven Croft.

Matt Prior provided support scoring a rapid 73 as part of a 125-run stand for the fourth wicket before Nash, and then Prior, were dismissed by Croft in quick succession.
