All-rounder James signs new three-year Notts deal
Nottinghamshire all-rounder Lyndon James has signed a new three-year contract that keeps him at Trent Bridge until the end of the 2027 season.
The 26-year-old's deal extension comes just days after he scored a century in Notts' season-opening County Championship victory against Durham.
It was his fifth first-class ton for Notts since coming through the club's academy to make his debut in 2018.
The seam bowler has made more than 100 appearances for Nottinghamshire across all formats since then, taking 115 wickets and scoring 3,500 runs.
"He's locally born and bred, which always adds that extra level of pride, and we're extremely proud of how he's developed in his career so far," Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores told the club website.
"You only have to look at his innings just this week against Durham for the latest example of how much of a key member of our squad he's become."

Luke Mistone hits go-ahead homer in the 8th to help Murray State advance to the program's first CWS
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Luke Mistone hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning, Graham Kelham was solid in another long relief appearance, and Murray State beat Duke 5-4 on Monday night in a winner-take-all championship game at the Durham Super Regional to advance to the program's first College World Series. Murray State (44-15) became the fourth No. 4 seed to advance to Omaha, Nebraska. Duke (40-20) was seeking its first appearance in the CWS since 1961. Jonathan Hogart hit his second home run of the game in the seventh inning — his 21st of the season — into the pine trees over the left-field wall to tie it at 3. Murray State retook the lead in the eighth on Mistone's leadoff shot — just his fourth homer of the year. Then Dan Tauken's triple scored Will Vierling from first for a 5-3 lead after the ball caromed off the wall toward center field. Later in the eighth, the Racers had the bases loaded with no outs after back-to-back walks but James Tallon struck out two and got a groundout to end the threat. Murray State appeared to win the game after an interference call at second base, but it was overturned after an official review to give Duke another chance. Kelham regrouped after the celebration to get a groundout to first to end it. Kelham, who threw 43 pitches on Sunday in a three-inning save, struck out four in 2 2/3 innings for his fourth win of the season. Reid Easterly (9-3) took the loss after allowing two earned runs in three relief innings. ___ AP college sports:

Murray State pounds Duke 19-9 to force deciding game in Durham Super Regional
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Dustin Mercer had four hits, Dom Decker and Will Verling drove in four runs apiece and Mercer pounded Duke 19-9 on Sunday to force a deciding third game in the Durham Super Regional. Four players scored three times and two scored twice as the Racers (43-15) scored 10-plus runs for the seventh time in 11 games. Jonathan Hogart, Carson Garner, Dan Tauken and Connor Cunningham had home runs. The deciding game is Monday at Duke's Jack Coombs Field, which was built 94 years ago and is holding its first postseason playoff games. Game Two attendance was 2,689, three less than the record crowd that attended the opener. Duke's last College World Series appearance was in 1961, and Murray State has never made it there. Murray State took a 10-3 lead with a five-run fourth inning. The Blue Devils (40-20) got back in the game with five runs in the sixth, but a nine-run seventh broke it open for the Racers. Decker had a two-run single, Vierling a two-run double and Tauken and Cunningham homered in the seventh. AJ Gracia and Ben Miller had back-to-back solo home runs in the first for Duke and Wallace Clark added another in the third. Ben Rounds had a two-run double in the sixth and Macon Winslow capped the rally with a two-run homer. Rounds added a solo shot in the eighth. Isaac Silva (8-2) went 5 1/3 innings, giving up six runs for Murray State and Graham Kelham gave up a hit and a run over the final three innings for his seventh save. Kyle Johnson (4-4) took the loss after giving up six runs in the first three innings. ___ AP college sports:
