Three Hampshire Men Earn Contracts With The ECB
Hampshire’s Liam Dawson, Sonny Baker, and Eddie Jack have all been awarded contracts with the ECB
To mark the upcoming closure of the ticket ballot for 2023's ODIs at The Ageas Bowl - the free-to-enter ballot closes at 11:59pm on Tuesday 18th October - we're looking back at some of the most notable international match to have taken place at The Ageas Bowl over the years.
Next is from the summer of 2020, when The Ageas Bowl hosted Ireland during the behind-closed-doors international fixtures.
Batting first, Ireland got off to a shaky start losing six wickets for less than 100 runs.
David Willey dismissed both openers, with Hampshire's James Vince chipping in with a rare wicket, his first in International Cricket.
Adil Rashid finished with figures of 3/34 from his ten overs. Saqib Mahmood and Willey both took two wickets apiece.
Chasing 213 to win, Johnny Bairstow top scored with a quickfire 82 from 41 balls at a strike rate of 200.
England found themselves six wickets down with 137 on the board, but Sam Billings (46*) and David Willey (47*) took England home, securing victory by four wickets.
Watch the highlights below.
