MattDavies commented Nottinghamshire thrashed by Hampshire as relegation looms large...

Nottinghamshire are bottom of the table and staring relegation in the face after defeat to Hampshire in a County Championship game they simply could not afford to lose.Needing to bat out the final day at Trent Bridge, another batting collapse, this time either side of tea, meant they were dismissed for 291 in 94 overs to lose by 176 runs on a flat pitch.It was a result which allowed Hampshire to move above Mick Newell's side in Division One as they boosted their own survival hopes.Notts are now.
