Hampshire ensured Boyzone's Ageas Bowl concert was brought forward by two hours by thrashing Middlesex in the Royal London One-Day Cup.

Jackson, Fidel, Mason, Carbs and Jimmy took centre stage as Hampshire completed a ten-wicket win in less than 56 overs.

Fidel Edwards (3-32) and Jackson Bird (2-19) reduced Middlesex to 34-5 after ten overs and leg-spin talent Mason Crane (4-30) took his first-team tally to 16 wickets in seven games as the visitors were bowled out for 117 in just 32.4 overs.

Then  Michael Carberry (66no) and Jimmy Adams (53no) knocked off the target in 22.5 overs.

It meant the Boyzone concert, the finale to the Ageas Bowl's 'Family Festival', began at 5pm while another Irishman, Middlesex captain Eoin Morgan, was no doubt rueing his decision to bat first.

In his first game at The Ageas Bowl since returning from the Caribbean Premier League, Edwards had former England opener Sam Robson caught behind with his third delivery.

Then Bird – on his one-day debut for Hampshire – trapped another former England opener, Nick Compton, lbw.

England one-day captain Morgan was also lbw three balls later as Hampshire reduced Middlesex to 5-3 after two overs.

The visitors were soon floundering on 22-5.

Dawid Malan (ten) loosely drove Edwards to Chris Wood at mid-off fours overs later.

And the former West Indies star had Nick Gubbins caught at first slip by James Vince next ball.

There was no respite for the  Middlesex batsmen, even with Edwards and Bird out of the attack. 

Simpson drove Wood into the covers, where Adams took a simple catch.

Middlesex were 45-7 when James Franklin, having scored a patient 18 amidst the carnage, was pinned lbw by Crane.

James Harris (32) and Ollie Rayner (24)added a semblance of respectability with a 55-run stand for the eighth wicket.

Then Harris became Crane's second victim and Rayner his third after being given lbw attempting to sweep.

Last-wicket duo Toby Roland-Jones and Junaid Khan hit three quick boundaries before the latter picked out Smith.

Adams and Michael Carberry made short work of the Middlesex total.

Carberry raced to a carefree fifty from 42 balls and finished with eight fours and two sixes, a pull over square leg followed by a straight maximum after lunch, from 66 deliveries.

The winning runs took Adams to a 76-ball half-century that secured the perfect result before heading to Cardiff for tomorrow's RLODC game against Glamorgan. 

“It was one of those amazing days where everything goes your way," said Adams, who was relieved to have his first fifty since his 61 against Middlesex in the County Championship in May.

"It’s been a lean and wretched couple of months, I just have to make sure that when I’m striking the ball better I make the most of it,” he added.
