Hampshire 548 for 6 dec (Smith 210, McLaren 81*) drew with Lancashire 387 (Petersen 98, Hameed 89, Procter 54, Dawson 3-63, Crane 3-87) and 98 for 3Scorecard Hampshires Liam Dawson bagged three evening wickets but could not stop Lancashire, led by a fifty from Haseeb Hameed, from batting out for a draw at the Ageas Bowl.Left arm spinner Dawson gave Hampshire hope of the win but Hameed and Liam Livingstone saw the visitors to the end.Hampshire remain cemented to the bottom of Division One, while Lancashire are in danger of being dragged in to a relegation dogfight with Surrey threatening to overtake them.Hampshire were given some early hope of clutching a victory from the off, as leg spinner Mason Crane found exaggerated turn.He took three of the six final Lancastrian first innings wickets with another tireless day twirling - bowling 48 and a half overs in the match.Will Smith, Hampshires captain, said: In terms of the effort and desire to win was all we could ask. We probably created enough chances but that said you cant fault the effort, we have fielded for 210 overs in a row.Daws and Mason bowled 100 overs of them and bowled particularly well. We couldnt force the win but there are a lot of positives. At times the pitch appeared docile but all of a sudden it would come to life. It was a wicket which suited us.Every game is important now. We have to approach the next five with a winning mentality. If we can come out with two wins we can climb the table.Crane had night-watchman Simon Kerrigan caught behind to the last ball of the days first over and later found a thick edge from Jordan Clark drop to Ryan McLaren at second slip.In the afternoon he wrapped up the first innings by tempting Croft out his crease, stumped by the increasingly impressive Lewis McManus.Ryan McLaren sent Liam Livingstones off stump cartwheeling before Cranes spin twin Dawson grabbed tail scalps of Tom Moores and Kyle Jarvis.With Lancashire 12 short of the follow on, Will Smith forced them to bat again and were left frustrated by openers Steven Croft and Hameed.The pair retreated deeply within their shells - dot ball followed dot ball, as they used up 25 of the 58 remaining overs.Dawson managed to get one top pop up with the first ball after tea, and Croft watched sullenly as it dropped into Gareth Andrews paws at silly point - Dawsons 100th Specsavers County Championship wicket. Dawson managed to grab his fifth and sixth wickets of the afternoon - after only managing nine previously this season - soon after, as Lancashire threatened briefly to offer Hampshire a glimpse of winning the game.Luke Procter pushed to Tom Alsop at silly mid-on, before Alviro Petersen fell in an identical fashion six overs later.The stat that summed up the match, on a flat track, was the number of maidens bowled - over a full days worth of 98.But Hameed, unbeaten on 53 after his 142-ball half century, his second of the match, and Livingstone dropped anchor to avoid defeat - the captains eventually shaking hands with six left, the visitors still trailing by 63. Ryan Kesler Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season. John Gibson Ducks Jersey .

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. Teemu Selanne Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Brisbane have eased the pressure on coach Justin Leppitsch and likely consigned Essendon to the AFL wooden spoon with a 37-point win at Etihad Stadium.The Lions ended their club-record losing streak of 12 games with Sundays 20.8 (128) to 12.19 (91) win over the Bombers.It was Brisbanes second win this season and leaves them a game clear of last-placed Essendon with five rounds left.There had been plenty of speculation about what losing this match might mean for Leppitschs future as Lions coach.But the Lions set the agenda from the start, kicking the opening three goals.Daniel Rich had his best game of the season off half-back, captain Tom Rockliff was outstanding through the midfield and Mitch Robinson shut out Essendon playmaker David Zaharakis.Not surprisingly, given the two teams only had one win apiece from 18 matches, it was not the greatest of spectacles.But whenever Essendon challenged, Brisbane had an answer.Poor goalkicking again killed any chance the Bombers had of coming back.They kicked an abyysmal 3.dddddddddddd10 after halftime and ended the game with three more scoring shots.Essendon only trailed by 13 points at the main break and it was instructive that at three-quarter time, they had the same number of scoring shots as Brisbane.But Liam Dawson kicked a goal on the siren to give the Lions a 40-point lead, eliminating any doubt about their win.Two goals in as many minutes at the start of the last quarter was the icing on the cake for Brisbane, who last won in round four.It was a dirty day for Essendon, who had come into the match as favourites for the first time this season.One notable positive was a fine AFL debut from defender Aaron Francis, their second pick at No.6 in last years national draft.Injury had delayed the start of his senior career and he immediately showed why the Bombers are so excited about his potential, taking some excellent intercept marks.
