Hampshire 304 for 4 (Dawson 116, Wheater 89*, Alsop 50) v WarwickshireScorecard Liam Dawson, an England matchwinner last week, rallied to his countys cause as Hampshire enjoyed a welcome day of prosperity as they again try to find a way to preserve their Division One place. The skills required to influence an international T20 differ hugely from those demanded by four-day Championship cricket but confidence is a transferable factor whatever the discipline.The 26-year-old allrounder made his mark with the ball as England beat Sri Lanka, taking 3 for 27 on his senior international debut on his home Southampton ground. His impact on the first day here was with the bat, where his first century of the season helped Hampshire reach a strong position. Called up for England Lions in between, it has been a good few days for him.Hampshire desperately need a win. They escaped relegation by two points last season and went into this match at the bottom of the Division One table, 23 points from safety. Win here, though, and they might have a chance of beating the drop again. Nottinghamshire, whom they meet at Trent Bridge next month, have played two matches more. Moreover, it was by winning at Trent Bridge on the last day that Hampshire clinched survival.On a flat pitch on which he may have an important role to play with the ball as the match progresses, Dawson encountered few difficult moments until he was out, struck in front by Keith Barker not long after Warwickshire had taken the second new ball, playing across one that shaped back in. Having faced precisely 200 balls, he had hit 13 fours and one six, coming out best in a prolonged battle with Jeetan Patel, Warwickshires canny offspinner.Its a pretty flat pitch but you still have to get the runs and Im happy to have helped put us in with a chance of making a big score, Dawson said.Playing for England in a T20 is very different from four-day cricket and although you gain confidence from playing well in any format I find red-ball cricket harder, to be honest. It is a test of concentration over long periods so it is very pleasing to come out with a hundred today.Dawson shared partnerships of 81 with 20-year-old Tom Alsop for the third wicket and 155 with Adam Wheater for the fourth. Wheater closed unbeaten on 89 and after pulling Barker for a meaty six and might have completed a century of his own had the dismissal of Dawson not forced him to switch to conservation mode for the days closing overs.The left-hander Alsop, playing in only his ninth first-class match, completed an attractive fifty before failing in his attempt to attack Josh Poysden, Warwickshires rookie legspinner, the ball flying off the top edge to Patel at mid-off as he tried to hit over midwicket.The runs added by the three combined made up for a somewhat stodgy start by Hampshire, who had crawled to just 63 from almost 28 overs after winning the toss and electing to bat first. Jimmy Adams, in particular, found it hard to make progress against Patel, who was bowling from as early as the sixth over and opened with four consecutive maidens.Adams had flicked a ball from Barker off his legs for four in the first over of the match but thereafter scored only two more runs from 76 deliveries. He then drew ironic applause from spectators by hitting consecutive boundaries off Patel, only to be out in the next over, driving straight to Ian Bell at midwicket.Like Hampshire, third-placed Warwickshire have gone in with two spinners in an unchanged side from the one that beat Surrey handsomely at Guildford last week, when Patel took five wickets in each innings.It was particularly unfortunate, then, that they should lose fast bowler Boyd Rankin after the Irishman was forced off the field with a back problem after bowling just one over, leaving Barker and Rikki Clarke as their only pace options. Warwickshire are hopeful that Rankin will be fit to bowl in the second innings.Hampshire have not many fast bowlers fit even to be considered for selection. Ryan McLaren has joined James Tomlinson, Reece Topley, Fidel Edwards, Chris Wood and Ryan Stevenson among six currently sidelined, while Tino Best has been left out to be kept fresh for the critical fixture against Surrey at the Ageas Bowl next week.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Trail Blazers love to shoot 3-point shots, but they are not in the same league as the Houston Rockets in that regard.The Rockets warmed up for Sundays Moda Center matchup by attempting an NBA-record 50 shots from beyond the arc in a 117-104 victory at Sacramento on Friday night.Houston (10-6) made 21 treys against the Kings, including 14 in the first half. The Rockets came within two of matching the NBA mark of 23 makes they share with Orlando.I dont mind it, but Id like to get the record for the most makes, not just the most attempts, first-year Houston coach Mike DAntoni told the media.If thats what theyre giving us, thats what well take. We had good looks, and if a guy has a good look, then hes free to shoot it.James Harden was only 3 of 11 on 3-point shots but had a triple-double with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Rockets, who attempt an NBA-high 36 treys per game.Houston has made at least 10 3-pointers in its last 15 games, one shy of the NBA record.This is the style of play weve built around James, and we have shooters, said forward Ryan Anderson, who was 3 for 7 from 3-point range and scored 13 points.The great part about it is, it didnt seem like we took 50 (3-point shots). They were in rhythm, they were good looks, and those are shots we normally take.Portland (9-9) shoots an average of a little more than 30 3-pointers a game, sixth-most in the league. The Blazers were 12 for 32 from beyond the stripe in a 119-104 victory over New Orleeans on Friday night.ddddddddddddHowever, the story of that one was the Trail Blazers dominance inside against the Pelicans. Portland won the battle in total rebounds (52-34), offensive rebounds (12-2), points in the paint (64-34) and second-chance points (23-2).Although they entered Friday night ranked last in the NBA in rebound percentage, the Blazers have outboarded their opponent in four of the last five games.Weve done a better job on the boards over those games, Stotts told the media after the New Orleans game. We were harping on the rebounding, and it has really improved. It was a big factor for us tonight.The Blazers also entered Friday ranked last in the NBA in defensive efficiency (109.7 rating) and opponents scoring (113.4). Stotts was pleased with his teams defense through most of the final three quarters against the Pelicans.Offensively, we were pretty good most of the night, Stotts said.0 Defensively, we were good after about two minutes into the second quarter. Weve had some struggles, and we needed to get back on track. We did that tonight.Forward Ed Davis would like to see a larger sample size in evaluating the Blazers defense.Im not going to judge it on one game, Davis said. Im glad we got this win, but we had some lapses (in which) we could have done better.Its just one game, man. Im not going to say after one game, problem solved -- you know? ' ' '
