:03:19. > :03:26.before the last administration. So they want to get back to

:03:29. > :03:33.before the start of this season, Cricket, and Hampshire

:03:34. > :03:39.have qualified for finals day of the T20 Blast tournament

:03:58. > :04:03.the first time they've been able to come out of their burrow

:04:04. > :04:06.and explore above ground. They're in a private den

:04:07. > :04:10.near the main enclosure. Now for the weather

:04:11. > :04:13.with Holly Green. The bright and breezy conditions

:04:14. > :04:17.of today We could see one or two showers
