Nottinghamshire trail Hampshire by 280 runs going into day two in the Specsavers County Championship
Adam Wheater (102) compiled his tenth first-class ton to help Hampshire post 319 on day one against Notts, who trail by 280 runs going into the second day of their Specsavers County Championship match at Trent Bridge.
Wheater spent 200 minutes at the crease crafting a fine century, after Dawson (54) and McManus (54) had secured fifties, before Ryan McLaren found an early breakthrough with the ball to restrict Notts to 39-1 from their 11 overs before the close of play.
Having been pegged back to 98-4 by Luke Wood's three wickets, Hampshire climbed from 103-4 at lunch to 304-6, setting Notts a 320-run target before Andy Carter bowled his first overs as a Hampshire player.
Dawson scored his third Specsavers County Championship fifty of 2016 in the morning session of the first day at Trent Bridge, supplying superb resolve after Jimmy Adams (8) and Will Smith (12) were removed by the bowling of Wood.
Dawson scored at the rate of a 50-over batsman, facing just 65 balls to reach his half-ton, but the Hampshire all-rounder was trapped at lbw shortly before lunch, as Wood took his third wicket.
Wheater took Hampshire to 103-4 at the break, and batted excellently in the afternoon alongside McManus as he scored his fourth Championship fifty, after Ryan McLaren (16) was taken by Harry Gurney.
McManus brought up 200 for the visitors with a boundary, as he and Wheater compiled a hundred partnership to help Hampshire find a foothold in the game – a crucial encounter in the Division One relegation battle.
Wheater really turned the style on before tea, hitting a maximum in the 62nd over and going into the break before the final session of the day on 226-5 against Notts.
McManus reached his half-century off 101 balls, surpassing fifty for the fourth time in just nine first-class matches, and looked capable of doubling his tally when he was caught behind by the Notts skipper and wicket keeper, Chris Read.
A 123-run partnership, lasting over 30 overs, projected Hampshire to within touching distance of 300 before the sixth wicket stand was ended by Steven Mullaney.
26-year-old Wheater secured his 10th first-class century to help Hampshire move beyond 300 with four wickets in hand, having been 98-4, hitting 12 boundaries and one six off 144 in a finely crafted knock.
Gareth Berg’s injection of 28 off 24 balls helped the visitors post 319 all out, remaining unbeaten as Imran Tahir removed Wheater and assisted Jake Ball wipe out Hants’ lower order.
Ryan McLaren then gave Hampshire’s bowlers great encouragement going into day two at Trent Bridge, beating Jacob Libby (11) with length and trapping the key batsman at lbw, restricting Notts to 39-1 from their 11 overs at the end of the first day.
