County Championship D1, Edgbaston, day three (close): Hampshire 169 & 37-1 v Warwickshire 262Alex Loudon's third County Championship century of the year helped Warwickshire to a lead of 93 against Hampshire.
Three boundaries off successive Shane Warne deliveries to reach 100 underlined the quality of his innings of 103 as the home side made 262.
Opener Ian Westwood struck a fluent 51 before he was caught off Dimitri Mascarenas, mistiming a drive.
Hampshire reached 37-1 in their second innings, James Adams (11) removed by James Anyon shortly before the close.
Australian leg-spinner Warne had the last laugh on Loudon, Nic Pothas stumping the centurion for 103 the ball after he had reached his ton.
But that was not before Loudon put on 79 for the last two wickets in partnership with Dale Steyn and Anyon as Warwickshire's tail wagged.
