County Championship: Liam Norwell takes 9-62 as Bears beat Hampshire to relegate Yorkshire
Liam Norwell produced the performance of a lifetime with a stunning 9-62 as 2021 county champions Warwickshire miraculously stayed up and relegated Yorkshire with a five-run win over Hampshire at Edgbaston.
After losing out on the title to Surrey last week, Hampshire's second straight defeat cost them runners-up spot - and £145,000 in prize money - as they now only finish third. That was pretty much the only thing that went right in the morning session for the Bears, despite a second half-century in the match for Surrey-bound Dom Sibley on his final appearance.
Sam Hain, coming in number eight after injuring his hamstring while making an acrobatic boundary stop on Wednesday, was batting with a runner, Davies.
