Tom Berzins struck his second competitive century of the season as Sparsholt maintained their Southern Premier Division 3 promotion push after racking up 319-7 against lowly Hook & Newnham Basics II.

His 101 at the Norman Edwards Ground contained 16 fours and featured top order partnerships with Joe Merlino (40) and RAF teammate Jack Fuller (49).

Callum Doran (46) and Tom Ley, with a 23-ball 50, sprayed the boundary as second placed Sparsholt batted Hook out of the contest.

Ley wasn't finished. He then dismantled Hook's top order with a 5-35 return, which left the visitors reeling at 40-5.

Dan Bowman (30) lifted Hook's spirits before tailender Max Simpson swatted 67 off 37 balls to raise the final score to 187. He hit four sixes and seven fours.

The 132-run win kept Sparsholt in second place behind Fawley, who visit Locks Lane on Saturday week.
