Parfitt leads Glamorgan Women to brink of semi-finals
MetroBank One Day Cup, League 2, Beckenham Kent 227-7 (50 overs) Glamorgan 228-4 (41.3 overs) Glamorgan won by 6 wickets Scorecard An unbeaten century from captain Lauren Parfitt led Glamorgan Women to a six-wicket win over Kent in the One Day Cup. The result means that Glamorgan, with six wins from seven group games, are almost sure of a semi-final place. Parfitt hit 111 not out off 125 balls as Glamorgan chased down a target of 228 with 8.3 overs to spare at Beckenham. Kent recovered from 11-3 to post a respectable total of 227-7, Elsa Barnfather top-scoring with 65. The hosts made a poor start as loanee seamer Ellie Anderson (1-35) and Gemma Porter (2-60) took early wickets. But Barnfather shared half-century stands with Amy Gordon and Coco Streets, who both made 32 before falling to Poppy Walker, while Barnfather was stumped off the economical Katy Cobb. Sophie Singer (35) and Laura Bailey (27 not out) gave Kent something to defend, but they could not put Glamorgan under much pressure. Parfitt and Bethan Gammon, who hit a quickfire 35 off 38 balls, added 78 for the second wicket in Glamorgan's best partnership, and Parfitt finished with 15 fours and three sixes. Glamorgan, who were beaten semi-finalists in their T20 tournament, have group matches remaining away to Worcestershire and home to Northamptonshire Steelbacks. They will aim for a top-two finish to earn a home semi final on Saturday 6 September as they gear up to turn professional in 2027. Kent, who have just one win from seven, travel to Gloucestershire and host Yorkshire.

Glamorgan captain Northeast plans contract talks
Glamorgan championship captain Sam Northeast is to have contract talks with the club's management over extending his four-year stay at the county. Northeast, 34, is out of contract at the end of the season and is also wanted by several other counties. He has led Glamorgan within striking distance of promotion in the four-day format, scoring 780 runs in 10 matches in the current campaign. But Northeast's family home, with two young children, remains in his native county of Kent where he spent his first 11 seasons as a professional before moving to Hampshire. "I'm going to meet with Wally (director of cricket Mark Wallace) and Daws (coach Richard Dawson), and hopefully come up with something," he told BBC Sport Wales. "There's time left in the season and I'm fully focussed on doing as well as possible for Glamorgan." Any move away from Glamorgan for Northeast is likely to be prompted by his family situation rather than any playing reasons. "I've just had another little one, there wasn't much sleep before the game at Lancashire, and I'll probably be going back to that situation as well. That's where it is, but I'm thoroughly enjoying my cricket at the minute," Northeast said. He is expecting to sit out the first couple of One Day Cup matches but return for the bulk of the group campaign, after not featuring in the T20 Blast for the first time. Former Gloucestershire and England Lions coach Dawson looks set to remain at Glamorgan, after being hastily appointed in January following the surprise departure of Grant Bradburn. The county is yet to announce any arrivals, departures or contract renewals for 2026.

Ahmed's 'game of a lifetime' for promotion-chasing Leics
"It was probably the game of my life." England all-rounder Rehan Ahmed got straight to the point when describing what it was like to take 13 wickets and contribute a century with the bat in Leicestershire's dominant County Championship win against Derbyshire last week. Not since the Victorian age has a Leicestershire player taken 12 wickets or more and registered a ton in the same game. The last to do so was Fred Geeson in 1901. For 20-year-old Ahmed, the once-in-a-125-year performance was a headline-grabbing way of underlining what sort of cricketer he aspires to be. His progression in the game been likened to that of Steve Smith's, who debuted as a leg-spinning all-rounder for Australia but established himself as a world-beating batsman. When the comparison was put to Ahmed after he career-defining performance at Central Co-op County Ground, his reply was fused with confidence. "I want to be a proper leg-spinner and proper batsman, and there is nothing stopping me apart from myself," he told BBC Radio Leicestershire. "This is probably the game of my life so far, and it's just nice to know the practice that you are doing is working. "It was great fun out there." Rehan Star-med helps The Foxes thrash Derbyshire Ahmed's 13-144 helps leaders Leics thump Derbyshire For some, this was a clear message from Ahmed to England selectors ahead of the Ashes series in Australia starting later this year. Ahmed last featured in a Test match for England in October. From day one against Derbyshire, Ahmed put on a show that had him anointed as 'Star-med' by the end. He was one of three Foxes players to score a century, with Lewis Hill top-scoring with 151 and Peter Handscomb contributing 101, in Leicestershire's first inning, which set the Division Two leaders up for the 189-run win that has them edging towards promotion. The 115 from Ahmed was his third consecutive hundred in the Championship. He followed that up on day two with a masterful display of spin, taking 6-51 from 20 overs to help bowl the hosts out for 189. He put on a quickfire 26 with the bat after that to help put Leicestershire in command of the game, before completing his match-winning performance with 7-93 to take his bowling figures to an astonishing 13-144 from 60 overs. It was a huge haul in what was a top-of-the-table clash of regional rivals who are both challenging for promotion. "This week was my week, but also it was Pete's week - he got a 100 and Lewis Hill got a massive 150," Ahmed said after the match. "We are all loving each other's performances, and as long as we keep doing that we'll be sweet."
