Hain scores crucial 87* to set up final day | HIGHLIGHTS | Rothesay County Championship
25 May 2025
Sam Hain’s second highly-skilled innings of the match left Warwickshire well-placed to press for victory over Worcestershire in the Rothesay County Championship derby at Visit Worcestershire New Road. On a capricious pitch which has helped seamers throughout, Hain followed his first innings 86 with an unbeaten 87 (174 balls) as Warwickshire took their second innings to 280 to set the home side 327 to win. Chris Woakes supported Hain with 42 (74), during which he passed 10,000 runs in all formats, while Jacob Duffy took five for 75. Worcestershire closed the third day on 54 for two and face a huge batting challenge on the final day when they must make much the biggest score of the match to win it.
