Kyle stars again for dominant Lancs

CRICKET:

LANCASHIRE, thanks to a fine 81 from Kyle Hogg, are on course for their fifth LV=County Championship win of the season after taking charge against Hampshire at Liverpool.

The hosts, replying to Hampshire’s below–par first innings score of 160, posted a commanding 398 off 134 overs.

Hogg’s knock came off 111 balls and followed on from his four-wicket haul on the opening day.

The 27–year–old left hander hit 11 fours and a six over mid–wicket as part of a 10th wicket stand of 54 with Gary Keedy.

But he fell trying to repeat his six over mid–wicket off left arm spinner Danny Briggs with James Vince taking a juggling effort while trying to navigate the boundary rope at long on.

Hogg was then back in action with the new ball before close, but could not break through.
