Lincolnshire lost by a massive 151 runs to Buckinghamshire at Tring after being bowled out for 246.

Needing an unlikely 398 to win, Lincs slipped from 65-0 at lunch to 150-6 in the afternoon session.

Three more wickets then fell for only one run after tea before Brett Houston was run out to confirm consecutive Minor Counties Championship defeats.

Lincs captain Ollie Burford again top-scored with 51 while Sam Cherry took 5-76 to give match figures of 10-133.

Former Gloucestershire player Mark Hardinges took the other four second-innings wickets, having earlier made 113 as Bucks declared their second innings on 312-6.

Ricky Hopwood added to his 131 from the first innings with 100 to become only the second Buckinghamshire player to hit centuries in both innings of a Minor Counties Championship match.
