Shaun Udal recorded match figures of 8-108 and skipper Will Kendall scored his first century of the season - but Hampshire's three-day match against Oxford UCCE finished in a draw yesterday.

Will Kendall scored a first innings 114 after Udal had completed his first four-wicket haul of the match to reduce Oxford to 281 all out after winning the toss.

Kendall's ton, which came from 178 balls and included 16 boundaries, and an unbeaten 69 from Lawrie Prittipaul helped Hampshire declare on 262 for four.

Oxford followed up by setting the visitors a 291 victory target on a rain-interrupted day in The Parks.

Derek Kenway and James Hamblin got Hampshire off to a promising start but they were both undone by the leg spin of Munday.

Kenway (68 from 83 balls) and Hamblin (34 from 51) were both bowled after putting on 105 for the first wicket and the match finished half an hour early in a draw.

An infected finger denied Charlie Van Der Gucht the chance to play his first game since recovering from the two broken legs and the blood clot on the lung that resulted from being hit by a London taxi nearly two years ago.

But manager Paul Terry did have the chance to loook at trialist seam bowlers Mark Thorburn, who took five wickets in the second XI's win against Surrey last week, and James Bruce.

Former Sussex II batsman Dominic Clapp had less of a chance to shine but Terry said: "It was a pretty good workout but very hard work for the faster bowlers. "The wicket had uneven bounce but it was pretty slow. Will needed a knock and got it and Derek Kenway batted well too.

"He and James Hamblin got us off to a very good start but unfortunately rain curtailed it in the end."

Loughborough UCCE captain Jimmy Adams made a second innings 78 but his side lost to Leicestershire by an innings and 35 runs at Grace Road.

Adams had made 3 in the first innings, while Hampshire teammate John Francis was out for 7 and 4. Hampshire travel to Bristol for their next championship match against Gloucestershire, which begins on Wednesday.
