It was ironic this senior best should come against the county for whom his father Michael starred.

County cricket: Somerset win quickly to gain ground on Surrey and Notts
What do the following have in common? Seven for 162; five for 59; four for 85; six for 63; four for 39; four for 41; six for 51; four for 81; seven for 93; four for 103; four for 82; six for 116; five for 99? Reward yourself with a slice of Battenberg if you shouted: 'Bowling figures by spinners in last week's County Championship matches!' It was the third of four rounds this season using the Kookaburra ball, the trial intended to produce pacers who have the tools to make the most of the flat-seamed, fast-softening ball used in many overseas series (including That One). Well, it's certainly bringing spinners into the game, while the seamers can work on their fielding. The irony is that England's first-choice spinner barely plays county cricket. While leaders Surrey played out a 571 v 537 draw with Yorkshire and second-placed Notts did pretty much the same against Hampshire (with 578 offset by 454), things were, as they often are, different at Taunton. Somerset secured a win over Durham in two days to go third in Division One, Jack Leach bagging seven wickets and Archie Vaughan four, with Callum Parkinson and George Drissell picking up 11 for the visitors. For opinions on the pitch, you can pick your 1980sSomerset and England all-rounder according to taste. Vic Marks was happy with it; Sir Ian Botham (with Durham connections to be fair) was not. Somerset go third, 17 points behind Surrey, with Yorkshire and Hampshire to visit the County Ground in September. Any rumours of increased sales of Pantone charts in Leeds and Southampton are, as yet, unfounded. Warwickshire have nestled in just a point behind Somerset after defeating bottom dwellers Worcestershire in a match that took an unpredictable route to a predictable result. Ethan Brookes, enjoying a fine streak of form, logged 140 and 87, which – allied to Pakistan Test seamer Khurram Shahzad's first-innings six for 42 – left the home side chasing 393 for an unlikely win. At 12 for two, that looked a long way off, but Dan Mousley got things going with 69, and Zen Malik (142) and Beau Webster (100) broke the back of it, Pears dispatched by Bears with five wickets in hand. Warwickshire are looking up; Worcestershire are looking down. Probably a long way down. Essex and Sussex have endured/enjoyed contrasting seasons. John Simpson's newly promoted side simply carried their form and optimism from 2024 into 2025 and have surpassed expectations, showing prominently in Division One. Essex, for so long a byword for consistency, just never got going, their only victory coming in mid-April against lowly Worcestershire. So, a home win at Hove on your coupon? It turned out to be Essex by an innings because, well, it's a funny old game. There was more to it than the capricious nature of cricket, since the game can often be kind as well as cruel. Jamie Porter and Sam Cook were back in, the latter having played fewer than half the Championship matches to date – and that's key for Essex. Buoyed by his own century and one from Jordan Cox, Matt Critchley had a long bowl, four wickets his reward. Nothing makes a spinner look better than runs on the board. Leicestershire's annus mirabilis continued with a win over Derbyshire that banished any memory of the surprise walloping by Middlesex last time out. Their lead at the top of Division Two has now stretched to 34 points. The match was a personal triumph for Rehan Ahmed, who delivered the best all-round performance by an Englishman in a first-class match since Ian Botham in Kolkata 1980. Ahmed made 115, to lead a recovery from none for two, then picked up six for 51 and seven for 93. The leg-spinning all rounder (oh my Adil of long ago) is still only 20! That's easy to forget because he's played five Tests on the subcontinent and has actually slipped down the spin options ladder despite developing his game significantly this summer. Young players, especially young leg-spinners, can go in and out of form almost from session to session, so it's important that selectors do not write him off or put him in a box only to be opened in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. He can hardly be doing more to advance his case. It's been a good week for all-rounders, with Tom Hartley the star as Lancashire continued to improve on their early season form. First a word for Australian journeyman Chris Green, who came to the crease at 209 for six and made 160. He has averaged more than 100 in his three matches wearing the Red Rose and nipped in with a couple of wickets in each of Gloucestershire's innings while going at less than 2.3 an over. Money well spent on that contract. Hartley, in at No 10, cruised in Green's slipstream to register a debut first-class ton, last man out for 130. It wasn't long before Jimmy Anderson asked him to bowl and his six for 116 was crucial in allowing the follow-on to be enforced. Hartley's second-innings five for 99 was instrumental in ensuring that there was time, just, for Keaton Jennings and Josh Bohannon to knock off the 110 runs for the win. Green and Hartley's numbers have grabbed the headlines, of course, but it's worth noting that they batted for around eight hours between them and bowled 34 overs each to give their captain the option. I'm sure Anderson will have asked them about the follow-on and I'm sure they said they were raring to go, but it's quite the feat of physical and mental resilience to bowl 27 and 28 overs, respectively, second time round.

Ayush Mhatre Scores 102 For India U-19 In First Youth Test Against England
17-year-old Mhatre, who is the captain of the India U-19 team, crossed the 100-run mark by hitting Archie Vaughan for a six on the first ball of the 36th over. 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre is leading the India U-19 cricket team in the first youth Test against England. On Day 1 of the match taking place at the Kent County Cricket Ground in Beckenham, Mhatre opened the innings and scored 102 runs from 115 balls. During his stay at the crease, the right-handed batter from Mumbai hammered 14 fours and two sixes. He completed his maiden century in youth Tests by hitting Archie Vaughan for a four on the first ball of the 36th over of India's first innings. The clip of Mhatre hitting Archie, who is the son of former England Test captain Michael Vaughan, is now going viral on the internet. Ayush Mhatre brought up his Century with a Boundary. Had a rough limited over series but Got his 100 in the first innings itself.💛 — ` (@4everCSK) July 12, 2025 During his stay at the crease on Saturday (July 12), Mhatre added 17 runs for the first wicket with Vaibhav Suryavanshi (14 runs from 13 balls) and 173 runs for the second wicket with Vihaan Malhotra (67 runs from 99 balls). He was sent back to the pavilion by Archie on the first ball of the 38th over. Before scoring a century in the youth Test, Mhatre played four youth ODIs as well against the English team but could only manage to score 27 runs in four matches. Mhatre, who made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the 2024 Irani Cup final at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, made headlines for his super show with the bat in the IPL 2025. He was signed as an injury replacement for Ruturaj Gaikwad by the Chennai-based franchise, and he made his debut in the world's richest franchise cricket league against the Mumbai Indians on April 20, 2025. In the match played at Wankhede Stadium, Mhatre, after coming out to bat at No. 3, scored 32 runs from 15 balls with the help of four fours and two sixes. His best batting performance in the IPL 2025 was in the CSK-RCB match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on May 3, 2025. In the 52nd league match, Mhatre opened the innings for the MS Dhoni-led side and scored 94 runs from 48 balls (9 fours, 5 sixes). But his effort went in vain as Men in Yellow failed to chase down the target of 214 runs and lost the match by two runs. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sussex were made to follow on and reached 127-4 by stumps, with openers Tom Haines and Daniel Hughes out for 50 and 40 respectively, to trail by 59 day began with Somerset adding just 21 runs to their overnight score for the loss of four wickets. Three of them fell to McAndrew, who began by having Overton brilliantly caught off an inside edge by wicketkeeper John Simpson for edged through to Simpson off Ollie Robinson and it was 333-9 when Matt Henry skied a catch to mid-off to give McAndrew his third wicket of the fourth ended Vaughan's career-best knock as he went on the attack and perished to another catch at mid-off. The 19-year-old had faced 134 balls and hit 15 fours to bolster what looked a good total given the nature of the made a decent enough start to their reply, Hughes and Haines taking the total to 37 in the tenth over before the latter pushed forward defensively to Overton and nicked a catch to wicketkeeper James had moved fluently to 24 but his departure signalled a turning point as the next over saw Tom Clark fall lbw to Henry and at lunch the scoreboard read was 75-3 when Tom Alsop edged Pretorius into the bucket hands of Overton at second slip and 80-4 in the following over, Josh Davey this time profiting from Overton's prowess as a slip fielder to send back James Coles for a just 17 runs added, Simpson was bowled shouldering arms to Overton, who soon followed up with a similar delivery from around the wicket that brought the demise of Hughes, also playing no claimed his third catch when Fynn Hudson-Prentice edged a back-foot defensive shot off Pretorius before Jack Leach weighed in with the wickets of McAndrew and ended the innings by bowling last man James Hayes and Sussex had been shot out in 46.2 overs. Expecting the pitch to become flatter as the match progressed, Gregory took the understandable decision to enforce the Hughes and Haines played positively, raising a half-century stand off just 57 balls in warm late afternoon dropped at second slip by Tom Lammonby off Overton, reached an attractive fifty off 72 was equally impressive, bringing up the century stand with a swept four off Leach before falling in the same over, caught behind off bat and pad. Haines quickly followed, leg before to Pretorius and suddenly Sussex were 100-2, still 86 Carson, promoted in the order, fell to Henry with 11 runs added. And when Leach had Clark caught behind attempting an injudicious slog-sweep it was clearly Somerset's Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay.
