ALEX Milton continued his fine run as Worcestershire seconds lost by 311 runs in their four-day clash with Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl nursery ground.

The wicketkeeper-batsman made his second half-century of the game after Worcestershire resumed on 121-5.

But the last five wickets went down for 70 with the occasional spin of Joe Weatherley picking up five wickets.

Milton, who made 54 in the first innings, was eventually out for 55 off 79 balls.

It followed scores of 40 not out against Leicestershire, 91 against Yorkshire and 63 off the Nottinghamshire attack in red-ball cricket for the seconds.

Hampshire had scored 376 all out and 349-6 declared with Jack Shantry taking 4-49 and Charlie Morris 4-80 in the first innings.

The visitors replied with 223 all out and 191 all out with George Rhodes (54) adding to Milton's contributions.

The second XI play Warwickshire at Coventry in a four-day friendly from Tuesday.
