Carson spins Sussex to win over Hampshire
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Utilita Bowl (day three) Hampshire 154 & 165: Dawson 48, Middleton 32; Carson 5-26 Sussex 297: Simpson 106*, Hudson-Prentice 74; Turner 3-54 & 23-1 Sussex (20 pts) beat Hampshire (3 pts) by nine wickets Match scorecard Jack Carson's five-wicket haul wrapped up a simple three-day victory for Sussex as they won on the road for the first time in the County Championship this season. Off spinner Carson found turn, bounce and a bagful of Hampshire wickets as he ripped through three of the four remaining batters to pick up 5-26 – his best of the campaign. Hampshire were bowled out for 165, and despite Oli Carter falling, Tom Haines and Tom Alsop easily knocked off the 23 runs needed to take them past the winning line before lunch. Sussex's third win of their return to Division One came with 20 points, to keep tabs on the leading title contenders. Hampshire began the day trailing by 29 runs, they had only whittled that down to 15 before Brad Wheal turned Carson around the corner to leg slip. There was a mini-flash point when James Fuller and bowler Nathan McAndrew collided during a single. Liam Dawson was not impressed, although the umpires calmed things quickly. Dawson took the hosts into a slender lead, his two accompanied by a huge cheer, but just 10 runs later he tried to ride Carson's turn, but tickled behind to John Simpson. Dawson had been the main hope for Hampshire to test Sussex, but his exit for 48 saw Kyle Abbott edge to slip three balls later. Henry Crocombe put Hampshire out of their misery when John Turner prodded a short ball to short leg. Dawson managed to get Carter's edge but it was a rare moment of joy as Sussex ticked off the runs in under 15 minutes. It was a particularly revered victory for the visitors, with strike bowler Ollie Robinson rested with an ankle injury and overseas opener Daniel Hughes absent awaiting the birth of his first child. Captain John Simpson had noted his side had "punched above expectation" so far this season. They leapfrogged Hampshire with the win, and also kept in touching distance of the title pacesetters. Simpson's third century of the season, in a 173-run stand with Fynn Hudson-Prentice, was the difference in the match, while Crocombe's first appearance of the season was a huge success – four explosive wickets in the first innings were followed by a tidy 2-44 in the second. For Hampshire, it was their first home defeat in the Championship since July 2023, with this only their fourth loss at Utilita Bowl since April 2019. Although this fixture was the first between the two south coast counties in a decade, Sussex have still only lost once on this ground in 10 red ball outings – 20 years ago. Hampshire have endured a rollercoaster trio of matches heading into the T20 Blast portion of the season. A dismal performance against Nottinghamshire was followed by a sensational victory at Edgbaston, which reignited excitement of a potential title charge, only for a seven session mauling. Their six batting bonus points in the first block is only better than bottom-side Worcestershire, with only Ben Brown of the regulars to average over 40. Only he and Nick Gubbins have recorded centuries. They did not get a batting point in this match, and only took three points from a dire week.

Liam Livingstone is AXED by England for both white-ball series against West Indies... as first squads under new captain Harry Brook are revealed
Liam Livingstone has been axed by England for the second time in nine months ahead of twin limited-overs series against West Indies. The name of Livingstone, 31, was the one conspicuous by its absence on Tuesday as the first squads led by new white-ball captain Harry Brook were revealed. Among them were Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson - for the Twenty20 series only - but Livingstone, whose turbulent recent past saw him omitted from the one-day series versus Australia at the end of the 2024 summer and then recalled and captaining the team six weeks later in the Caribbean, has paid the price for a poor winter. Others can perhaps count themselves lucky to survive following six straight 50-over defeats and a 4-1 Twenty20 loss to India earlier this year. His Lancashire team-mates Tom Hartley and Luke Wood return in the one-day and T20 squads respectively after two year absences, but it is the recall at 35 of Dawson, the reigning player of the year in county cricket, that has caught the eye. Dawson last played in the 4-3 T20 series victory in Pakistan in September 2022. England squads to face West Indies ODI Squad Harry Brook (Yorkshire) – Captain Jofra Archer (Sussex) Gus Atkinson (Surrey) Tom Banton (Somerset) Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire) Jos Buttler (Lancashire) Brydon Carse (Durham) Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire) Tom Hartley (Lancashire) Will Jacks (Surrey) Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire) Jamie Overton (Surrey) Matthew Potts (Durham) Adil Rashid (Yorkshire) Joe Root (Yorkshire) Jamie Smith (Surrey) IT20 Squad Harry Brook (Yorkshire) – Captain Rehan Ahmed (Leicestershire) Tom Banton (Somerset) Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire) Jos Buttler (Lancashire) Brydon Carse (Durham) Liam Dawson (Hampshire) Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire) Will Jacks (Surrey) Saqib Mahmood (Lancashire) Jamie Overton (Surrey) Matthew Potts (Durham) Adil Rashid (Yorkshire) Phil Salt (Lancashire) Luke Wood (Lancashire) Surrey all-rounder Will Jacks - who like Livingstone is one of the England players involved in this year's suspended Indian Premier League - also comes back in to both series. It remains unclear whether England's internationals will return for the resumption of a tournament that is now set to run until June 3, as that is the date of the third and final ODI against the Windies. Five of the 16-strong ODI squad have IPL commitments. 'We're keen to support the IPL and the BCCI in getting the schedule up and running, and to facilitate players' return should they choose to go back,' said an ECB spokesperson. 'No Objection Certificates have been granted based on the original IPL dates, so we'll need to review any potential extensions, particularly in relation to any clash with the final white-ball squad.

Cricket-Dawson returns for England's T20 squad, Salt dropped from ODIs against West Indies
FILE PHOTO: Cricket - T20 Blast Finals Day - Semi Final - Hampshire v Essex - Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham, Britain - July 15, 2023 Hampshire's Liam Dawson in action Action Images via Reuters/John Sibley/File Photo (Reuters) -All-rounder Liam Dawson has returned to England's T20 squad for the first time since 2022, while Phil Salt was not selected by the England & Wales Cricket Board for the upcoming white-ball home series against West Indies. England, who will play three ODIs and three T20 matches against West Indies between May 29 and June 10, have also recalled batting all-rounder Will Jacks to both squads led by Harry Brook, who was named white-ball captain last month. Luke Wood and Tom Hartley, who have not played white-ball cricket for England since September 2023, have returned to the T20 and the ODI sides respectively. Jacks, along with Jos Buttler, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton and Jofra Archer, were playing in the Indian Premier League before its matches were suspended amid fighting between India and Pakistan. The IPL will resume on May 17, with the final now set for June 3, which clashes with the ODI series against West Indies. British media reports said all 10 English players involved with the IPL will hold a meeting with the Professional Cricketers' Association over security arrangements for a potential return to India. Cricket Australia also said they are working with the Indian cricket board (BCCI) on security arrangements with several of their players set to decide whether they will return to play the rest of the IPL season. England will also play a four-day test with Zimbabwe, starting May 22 at Trent Bridge. England squads: ODI: Harry Brook (captain), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson (Surrey), Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Overton, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jamie Smith. T20: Harry Brook (captain), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler, Brydon Carse, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Overton, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Luke Wood.
