No play was possible on day two of Hampshire's LV= County Championship match against Durham at the Emirates ICG.

That means the visitors, having lost the toss and been put in to bat first, are still 77-3 with only 30 overs having been bowled in the match so far thanks mainly to persistent rain. Neil McKenzie remains on 46 not out with James Vince also at the crease on 4.

Rain is also forecast for the majority of day three so play is likely to be severely disrupted.
