Warwickshire kept pace with the Rothesay County Championship title peloton as they thrashed relegation-doomed Hampshire by an innings in three days.

A perfect combined bowling display – capped by Manav Suthar’s four-for – over 392 balls saw Hampshire rolled for 115 and 154 to complete a cheerless week on and off the field for the county.

Warwickshire’s 22 points mean they stay in the super-tight title race with Somerset and Nottinghamshire – jumping up above the latter into second.

Hampshire, still with just three batting points this season, are rock bottom and sit 32 points adrift, and could have their relegation to Division Two confirmed next week at Trent Bridge.
