VIEWS FROM THE COMMENTARY BOX

BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James:

"There were a couple of periods of play which contributed to Hampshire losing this game.

"The first hour on the first day which allowed Northants to get to 68 before they lost their first wicket, having put them in.

"And the last session on day three, where Northants scored 110 losing just three wickets, which allowed them to build a sizeable lead in a low-scoring game."
