Three wickets from Chris Wood, who had earlier made 34, then left the visitors 35 for 3 at the close.After rain washed out the first day, Hampshire won the toss and elected to batin overcast conditions, but were soon made to regret their decision as a flurryof early wickets fell.Liam Dawson was the first man to go, getting stuck on his crease to a deliveryfrom Charlie Shreck which kept slightly low and trapped him lbw for just six. Fellow opener Jimmy Adams, promoted into the captain’s role because of Dominic Cork’s unexpected absence, was the next wicket to fall, bowled off his pads by former England quick Darren Pattinson for seven to leave Hampshire 13 for 2.Michael Carberry went for four, edging Pattinson behind to give Chris Read aregulation catch as his side slipped into real trouble at 26 for 3.

Sean Ervine was next up, but after battling for 44 balls, the former Zimbabwe Test player was dismissed for 14, edging left-arm spinner White to slip to leave the hosts 86 for 5 at the lunch break.The impressive and resilient McKenzie brought up his 50 and Hampshire’s 100with a nicely-timed drive after lunch, before combining in a 51-run partnershipwith wicket-keeper Michael Bates.But medium-pacer Steven Mullaney struck with the last ball of his first over,dismissing Bates for 24. A brief shower brought about an early tea before some big hitting from Wood saw him and the McKenzie rack up a half-century partnership.But after two big sixes had advanced the youngster to 34 – just one run shortof matching his highest first-class score – Wood fell to a sharp slip catch byAdam Voges off the bowling of Patel.McKenzie looked to be moving towards his second Championship century of theseason, but was left stranded on 97 after Danny Briggs and Imran Tahir fell toPatel in quick succession and David Griffiths was dismissed by White.Nottinghamshire were soon in trouble themselves at the start of their reply,Wood removing opener Neil Edwards (eight) and dangerman Alex Hales (two) in justhis second over.And he secured Hampshire’s first bowling point with his third wicket in adevastating opening burst, bowling Rikki Wessels for seven to leaveNottinghamshire struggling.
