Only 13 overs were played on a soggy second day of Hampshire and Somerset’s Division One Specsavers County Championship clash at the Ageas Bowl.
In the 54 minutes of action, Gareth Berg managed to find Hampshire’s first wicket of the match. The South African fast bowler dupe Marcus Trescothick into a cut shot which proved too close to cut as he chopped onto his own stumps.
Where Trescothick failed, his younger less experienced, opening partner Eddie Byrom appeared to flourish. The Zimbabwean, on his first class debut, looked comfortable at the crease as the new pink ball sprung off the pitch. But his 50-ball progress at the crease was paused by rain, with the 20-year-old reaching 13 not out.
Umpires Ian Blackwell and Martin Saggers eventually called off any hope of any further action at 6.30pm.
