Today's photos are from the localish Rose Bowl cricket ground, where I went with a group of friends this evening to watch a Twenty20 match (so called because each side gets 20 overs) of Hampshire against Glamorgan. Hampshire lost unfortunately, by 151 to 161, despite some cracking batting later on.
