Yorkshire 281 and 143 for 2 (Lyth 56) lead Hampshire 222 by 202 runsScorecard If
you sit in the Ageas Bowl for a Championship match when the crowd is made up of
a few hundred people you can hear the steady whir of the motorway just a few
hundred metres down the road; a reminder that cricket or no cricket the rest of
the world continues as it always has done.
Andrus Peat Jersey . Things are happening,
people are moving.At 3.46pm on this bleak September day, with the square and
pitch under covers and the floodlights on, the dull drone of the motorway was
interrupted by the tannoy system at the ground crackling into life to announce
the other scores from around the country. The cricket in Southampton may have
been halted by dank rain and miserable light but elsewhere life went on, and so
too did cricket.Few things can have been more galling for Hampshire and
Yorkshire, both sides desperate to play in search of crucial points at the top
and bottom of the table, than to hear the scores from Chester-le-Street and
Edgbaston called out as they looked out over thousands of empty seats and a
pitch totally obscured by covers.As the PA completed his round-up, through Old
Trafford, Derby, Wantage Road and Chelmsford, the scores echoing around the
ground were replaced once more by the din of the motorway and the sound of rain
on the covers. That was about as frustrating as it has been all year today,
Yorkshires captain Andrew Gale said, after play was finally called off for the
day at 5.36pm with just 19 overs of disjointed cricket possible in which
Yorkshire added 74 to their overnight lead.It is strange really. Moments like
Ryan Sidebottoms wicket of Sean Ervine on day two of this match feel significant
in the arc of the season. Yet days curtailed by rain and bad light such as this
often do not. Perhaps thats because this is sport and we look to moments that
happen as opposed to dont happen. Yet with Middlesex looking to force a result
in Birmingham and Nottinghamshire and Durham collecting valuable points in their
match, days like this in Southampton - when possible wins become likely draws,
points appear to slip away and ground is lost - can shape entire
seasons.Equally, a teams ability to turn days such as these to their own
advantage can be season-defining too. Whisper it quietly but it is an ability
you would expect to find in champions.Heading into the final day Yorkshire lead
by 202 runs with eight wickets remaining. Despite this truncated third day, all
four results are still possible and both teams are aware of the possibilities
that a Yorkshire declaration could present. It is that time of the season when
disparate matches all around the country suddenly appear to intertwine; the
seasons tapestry finally coming together.It is in Yorkshires hands, Hampshires
director of cricket, Giles White, admitted. They might view it that theyd like
to force a result which might open the door for us but it is for them to make
that call. Theyll have to weigh up what is happening with Middlesex at
Edgbaston. Theyll have a think how long itll take them to bowl us out and make a
call from there whether it is worth risking five points for sixteen.Would Gale
take that risk? We will try and accelerate the game forward to get a result, he
said, but we are not going to throw it away at this time of year. How many runs
did he feel they would want? Ill sleep on it, he said, and with that he was
gone, turning his back on a day of frustration.

. LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the
string.STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Matteo Manassero remains on track for a second
consecutive European Tour victory after taking a two-shot lead at the Nordea
Masters on Friday. The 20-year old Italian, who won last weeks BMW PGA
Championship, added a 7-under 65 to his opening 66 for a 13-under total for two
rounds on the Bro Hof Slott course in Stockholm. Manassero capped his round with
four birdies in succession from the 11th hole. "It was nice after my good start
to come back today and shoot another great score," he said. "I am glad the way
the day has gone as I played solid. Over the last five or six holes I didnt feel
as good as I did at the beginning but I was scoring well which is a good sign."
Finlands Mikko Ilonen is second at 11 under after birdieing his last three holes
for a 9-under 63. He matched a new course record, set just hours earlier by
Scotlands Peter Whiteford, who is third at 10 under. It is the third time Ilonen
has shot 63 in his career, while Whitefords effort is the 32-year-olds lowest
score in five full seasons competing on the European Tour and one shot lower
than Lee Westwoods 64 set en route to victory in the event last year.
&qquot;It was brilliant and a great round of golf, and its put me in a good
position though its still a long way to go," Whiteford said.
Lil Jordan Humphrey Jersey. "The scoring
looks like it will be low over the weekend but its just great to be in
contention again." Whiteford came close to his first Tour win a month ago,
losing in a playoff for the Ballantines Championship in South Korea. Swedens
Peter Hanson, the highest ranked player in the field at No. 23, had reached 8
under after 16 holes. But then he double bogeyed the par-3 17th for a second
successive 69 and a 6-under total. Australias Andrew Dodt became the first
player in European Tour history to record two holes-in-one in the same round
when he aced his second, the 11th on the course, and his 16th hole, the seventh
on the Stockholm layout. He finished with a 65 to reach the 2-under mark and
squeeze into the weekend rounds. Last year, Dodt secured the second last order
of merit position to retain full 2013 Tour membership. Among those missing the
cut was Scotlands Marc Warren (143) who had been involved in last Sundays
Wentworth play-off and former British Open champion, Darren Clarke (145).
