Key occasions
Home to discover Kent still 5 down, Durham sneaking closer to promo and Tom Haines en route to fifty in the beach and skittles video game at Hove.
Time for me to stop viewing the Old Trafford sprinklers and cycle home. Back soon.
That’s not rather down and out for Hampshir e, however looking quite that method, and their fate, and Leicestershire’s might be verified next week atGrace Road As for Notts– they’re 4 points behind top of the table Somerset in 2nd, Warwickshire one point behind Notts in 3rd.

Somerset play Yorkshire (Headingley) and Surrey (Taunton).
Notts play Sussex (Hove) and Yorkshire (Trent Bridge).
Notts BEAT Hampshire by 54 runs!
Trent Bridge: Notts 377 and 104 BEAT Hampshire 304 and 123 by 54 runs
A fantastic catch at backwards point by Ben Martindale seals the offer. Game on!
The unstoppable Stone 6 for 28 and 9 in the match. Currie unbeaten on 44.

In a break with this September’s clatter of wickets, batters round the premises are all of a sudden discovering their feet/boots.
Ekash Singh has actually biffed a number of 6s, he and Chris Benjamin are having some Indian summer season enjoyable versusDerby But at 85-5, Kent have a long method to go.
Fifty for Geddes!
After a collaboration of 67, a development at Chester leStreet Ryan Higgins captured off Callum Parkinson for 31. Middx 166-5. Geddes still there on 50. Looks like Middx will make it to lunch.
Lancashire coach Steven Croft: “We’re not gaining from our errors”
Beleaguered Lancs coach Steven Croft (I feel for him, the entire thing needs to be quite unpleasant): “Very frustrating, clearly to lose in your home, and the way also.
” I believe within that loss there was some actually great things. I believed the effort from the bowlers was dazzling. “Jimmy (Anderson), Baldy (George Balderson), and Mitch (Stanley) at the end running in, with a very little break in between those innings also.
“It’s quite clear we’re not getting the batting right at the minute. It’s not through absence of effort. The frustrating thing is we’re not gaining from our errors, actually. We’re not shooting as a system, whether that be experienced gamers or unskilled gamers.”
Currie (39) and Lumsden (13 ) have actually decreased the Hampshire chase to 69 which is within the worlds of possibility with a reasonable wind and a little luck.
Ashes to ashes– the reason that there is no Ashes Test in the north next year.
Five wickets for Ben Aitchison!
What a season he’s having— 57 wickets and counting, behind just Matthew Potts inDivision Two He is presently holding 5 for 24, having actually whistled out all of Kent’s leading 5. Kent 54 for 5.
A triumphant James Bracey on their five-wicket loan
JT Langridge: “I believed his ball to Hurst was among the very best I have actually seen all season. I believe he’s simply a natural wicket-taker. He’s got great properties.
“He’s high, he swings the ball also. So I believe that makes him a substantial hazard with the brand-new ball. And he’s got wicket-taking shipments that will get great batters out which is a truly great technique to have. We’ll attempt to hang onto him however I’m not exactly sure Somerset are going to permit us to have him for too long, unfortunately.”
Six wickets for Olly Stone
I quickly ignored Notts, who have nearly cleaned Hampshire up currently. Olly Stone, bowling like a chestnut thoroughbred on an early morning canter, has 3 consisting of a dazzling catch byMitch Hay Watch and marvel here.
And now Middlesex slip and slide, 4 down, Max Holden scooped up at slip by long-leggedBen Middx 103-4.
Meanwhile, at Derby, Kent are falling nasty of an on-songBen Aitchison Kent 28-4.
A-whooping and a-hollering from the Glos dressing space, that’s 2 wins on the bounce after they turned over Derbyshire recently. Well played, it’s tough to turn that ship around.
Gloucestershire BEAT Lancashire by 105 runs!
Rocky Flintoff smacks Langridge with gumption, much like papa would have done, for 4, however the next ball is gathered by long off which is that. The space in between the 2 bottom groups diminishes to 18.
Five wickets for the outstanding JT Langridge in his 2nd first-rate match. Three for the really helpfulKishore A splitting 65 for youngRocky Flintoff And that’s that, done and cleaned in 31 minutes.
Old Trafford: Gloucestershire 212 and 169 BEAT Lancashire 134 & & 142 by 105 runs.
Gloucestershire 19 points, Lancashire 3.
No seasons-end thrills for Crawley, who gets an outdoors edge from Aitchinson for 4. And now Compton in Aitchinson’s next over. Kent 12-2.
And tumbleweed begins to move about OT as a ninth wicket falls. This time Kishore, as Stanley props forward and dabs the ball in the air for Dhariwal at ridiculous mid off. A tired Anderson walks out and bumps gloves with young Flintoff.
A 4th wicket for the charming Langridg e who is doing his potential customers no damage at all in this match, pinning Noman’s pad to stump. Lancs 137-8.
The scoreboard waits on Noman, who sweeps Kishore for 6 into a sad-looking decreased celebration stand.
Noman Ali gets in t he method of a bouncer from Langridge and we stop briefly for a helmet modification. Meanwhile there are wickets at Hove (Thomas chosen 44) and from the very first ball of the day at Chester le Street where Nathan Fernandes is reversed by Kasey Aldridge.
There is rain in the Manchester air however regrettably for Lancashire insufficient to keep them off the pitch. Balderson falls 3rd ball of the day to that maleLangridge Lancs 122-7.
A heart-warming read and beautiful pictures from Billy Munday and Tom Jenkins at the other day’s Knight-Stokes Cup
Roundup: Somerset’s pet days might quickly be over
In a round of shocking collapses, batting sides continued to strap on their roller skates and head to the ice rink. At Grace Road, Leicestershire were rumbled for 145, a 377 run-victory that puts Somerset back on the top of the table, that longed-for very first title still in reach.
Somerset set Leicestershire 523 to win after waiting on New Zealand finalizing Henry Nicholls to reach his very first Championship century. Craig Overton (4 for 33) and Jack Leach (3 for 30) then stormed through Leicestershire’s defences. The most amusing minute for a faithful crowd was when a runaway husky romped on the pitch.
At Trent Bridge, safeguarding champs Nottinghamshire were bowled out for 104 by a widespread Hampshire attack. Seventeen- year-old Manny Lumsden, bowling with fire and bounce, uprised 5 for 36, consisting of leading scorer Joe Clarke for 37. Hampshire, set 178, were quickly batting on a see-saw of their own versus Olly Stone (3 for 15) and Dillon Pennington (3 for 18). They had actually stumbled to 61 for 6 when bad light brought short-term reprieve.
At Headingley, Essex fell nasty of Kuldeep Yadav, whose 6 for 50 has nearly ensured Yorkshire‘s Division One area next season. At one phase Essex were 26 for 5 following on, however Paul Walter’s 48 and George Bell’s 28 guaranteed they passed 100. Kuldeep can tuck career-best match figures of 10 for 120 into his wallet. Sam Cook, who showed up late, undesirable at the Test, didn’t bowl a ball.
Northamptonshire took 20 points from their six-wicket success over Worcestershire, leapfrogging promo oppositionsKent They had a harder day at the County Ground versus Derbyshire, who have actually set the visitors 434 to win after half centuries for Brooke Guest, Luis Reece and the in-form Martin Andersson.
Elsewhere, an unbeaten first first-rate 50 from Rocky Flintoff provided Lancashire a twinkle of expect their very first win becauseApril They path Gloucestershire by 128 runs with 4 wickets staying.
