Nottinghamshire fast start a team effort
Nottinghamshire all-rounder Lyndon James says match-winning contributions throughout the team are driving the County Championship leaders' fast start to the season. James took 5-22 at Trent Bridge on Sunday to help bowl out Hampshire for just 116 in their second innings and complete a crushing 366-run win with a day to spare. It was Nottinghamshire's third win from five matches in an unbeaten start to the season and ensured they stayed top of Division One. Six players have scored centuries for Notts this season, and six bowlers have contributed five-wicket hauls, with James on both lists following his season-opening 125 against Durham. "We've spoken in the past about players making match-winning contributions, and that's not getting 60s and 70s and three-fors, that's getting five-fors and hundreds, so it's something that we have prided ourselves on this season," he told BBC Radio Nottingham. "We all spoke about wanting to start better as a side and I think we've hit the ground running. "The lads have been putting their hands up from one to 11 with bat and ball and it's a nice place to be going forward." Nottinghamshire - whose last County Championship title was in 2010 - have already claimed more league wins than last season, when they finished eighth in Division One with just two victories. The demolition of Hampshire was built on a 238-run second-innings stand between Jack Haynes (120) and Liam Patterson-White (135), who scored his second career first-class ton, and his first at Trent Bridge. "I just think how calm the dressing room is, and the self-belief we have as a squad, we're a very tight-knit group now," said Patterson-White. "A couple of seasons ago we probably weren't as close as we are now, so to build that up into the season with three wins out of five, and with the potential to have won at Edgbaston, it puts us in really good stead for the rest of the season." Four of Nottinghamshire's five opening County Championship fixtures - and all three of their wins - have come on home turf. But in their one away match, only rain denied them an emphatic win over Warwickshire at Edgbaston and an even bigger advantage at the top of Division One. The leaders next head north for back-to-back away matches against Durham and Yorkshire before a month-long break in the Championship season. "It's nice competing and playing well at home, but if you want to win the championship, you've got to do that away from home as well," James added. "The good thing about winning three games is you get into good habits and hopefully we can take those forward on to Durham and Yorkshire."

Liam Patterson-White and Jack Haynes impress as Nottinghamshire thrash Hampshire
That left Hampshire with an improbable run chase of 483 for victory and they were skittled for 116 as Lyndon James (five for 22) and Brett Hutton (four for 56) tore through their battling line-up in less than 34 overs. Our second-biggest win by margin of runs in County Championship history 😲#NOTvHAM — Nottinghamshire CCC (@TrentBridge) May 11, 2025 Nottinghamshire notched their third win of the season by their second-biggest winning margin by runs in Championship history. Second-placed Warwickshire will bid for victory on the last day of their match at Edgbaston against defending champions Surrey, who trail by 296 runs with one first-innings wicket remaining. Surrey resumed on 98 for one after Warwickshire had declared on 665 for five on Saturday and, although Ben Foakes in unbeaten on 85, the visitors appear set to follow on as they closed on 369 for nine. Yorkshire are on course for their second win of the season as Essex need 456 runs with four wickets in hand on the final day after they reached 64 for four in their second innings at Chelmsford. Close. Another excellent day sees Essex, chasing 520-4, finish on 64-4 from 27 overs.

Worcestershire closed on 117 for three – opener Jack Libby is unbeaten on 64 – after Sussex were all out for 256 in their second innings for a lead of 360. In Division Two, Glamorgan romped to one of their biggest Championship wins, by an innings and 161 runs against Kent, to notch their first win of the season with one day remaining.

Leaders Notts thump Hampshire by 366 runs
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Trent Bridge (day three)Nottinghamshire 333 & 345: Patterson-White 135, Haynes 120; Abbott 3-62Hampshire 196 & 116: Baker 27; James 5-22, Hutton 4-56Notts (21 pts) beat Hampshire (3 pts) by 366 runsMatch scorecard Hampshire collapsed to defeat after centuries from Jack Haynes and Liam Patterson-White had batted them out of the game as Division One leaders Nottinghamshire romped to a third victory in their opening five matches of the County Championship season, winning by a massive 366-run Patterson-White struck a magnificent career-best 135 containing 21 fours and two sixes, with Haynes making 120, the pair sharing a seventh-wicket stand of 238 as the Trent Bridge side made 345 in their second down 483 to win looked wholly unrealistic on a pitch that has made the new ball a potent weapon but Hampshire supporters would have hoped at least to see the match taken to a fourth they witnessed their team bowled out for a miserable 116 by 17:30 BST with former favourite Mohammad Abbas not even among the wickets as the bowling honours were shared between Lyndon James (5-22) and Brett Hutton (4-56).The winning margin is Nottinghamshire's second largest by runs in their Championship mayhem of the final session was in complete contrast with the first, when it felt like a different match as Nottinghamshire's seventh wicket pair, whose partnership was worth 87 at Saturday's close, added another 144 runs before 60 overnight, had given his team-mate a 21-run start but in the event, as Hampshire's bowlers toiled in vain to conjure life from an aging ball on a pitch that looked benign for the first time in the match, Patterson-White was first to three reached the milestone from 139 balls with a mighty pull for six off Sonny Baker. It was his second six of the innings, having hit 76 runs of his hundred runs in that he had not made even a half-century in 32 innings over three seasons before this one and had struggled to keep his place in the side, it was little wonder he allowed himself a lengthy later, he overtook his previous career-best - 101 against Somerset at Taunton in 2021 - before a single off Baker completed Haynes's hundred, from 137 balls, also with 16 fours, his second in five dropped at deep square leg on 80, departed three overs after lunch. Kyle Abbott now had the new ball in hand but it was coming back for a second run to deep mid-wicket that cost Haynes, Baker's throw to the wicketkeeper beating him the completed first run was enough to take the partnership to 238, Nottinghamshire's second biggest for the seventh wicket against any followed up with a more conventional new-ball wicket in his next over - taking his tally for the season to 23 as the country's leading wicket-taker so far - as Hutton was caught behind without scoring, after which Farhan Ahmed was yorked by James Fuller and Patterson-White bowled off a bottom gave Hampshire a theoretical target of 483 to win the match or else bat long enough to salvage some pride. Yet the chances of achieving even that quickly diminished as they slipped to 33-3 at bowled six wicketless overs but from the other end Hutton had a leaden-footed Fletcha Middleton leg before and Mark Stoneman caught behind off a thin outside edge. First change James then dismissed Prest, who top-edged a cut as Kyle Verreynne held a second there was little sign of Hampshire trying to bed in for a fight after tea as wickets tumbled with unseemly Brown's loose pull off Hutton came down in the hands of square leg, Nick Gubbins fell tamely to a catch at extra cover off, Liam Dawson was caught on the boundary hooking, Fuller flicked straight to midwicket, Toby Albert, dropped at first slip, edged to third - albeit superbly caught by Haynes - and Brad Wheal was caught at mid-off, leaving the visitors and Baker kept the home side's celebrations on hold for 10 overs before the latter sliced to backward point for 27 as Hampshire's top scorer, Patterson-White aptly taking the final Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay
