Cameron Green tunes up for World Test Championship with match-winning County knock
Cam Green's spell playing county cricket in England's West country will be a brief one, but Bristolians will not forget him in a hurry, and nor will Kent's beleaguered bowling attack. The Australian all-rounder made an unbeaten 67 off 90 balls, to steer Gloucestershire to a tense three-wicket victory over Kent in Bristol, ensuring his first innings century did not go to waste. Green hit 128 off 184 balls in the first innings of the match to set the game up for Golucestershire. It was Gloucestershire's first win of the season, and its first home red ball victory since September 2022. Glos were set 162 to win on the fourth and final day after Kent had been dismissed for 253 in its second innings. Kalgoorlie's Grant Stewart, who made a remarkable career-best 182 off 189 balls in the first innings, had added 41 to his match tally. The home team lost former Australia opener Cameron Bancroft, its captain, for 7 as it slumped to 4-57 but Green and James Bracey, who shared a 222-run fifth-wicket partnership in the first dig, again combined well. After Green was reprieved on 3, Jack Leaning missing a sharp chance at second slip off Kashif Ali, he and Bracey then took the score to 121. With no time pressure, Glos looked to be cruising. But Nathan Gilchrist dismissed Bracey then had Graeme van Buuren caught for a pair next ball. Green, driving powerfully straight and pulling well, moved past 50 but Kent further reduced Glos to 7-138. Green and Zaman Akhter settled the innings and gradually whittled down the target before a scrambled single to point by Green off fellow West Australian Stewart ensured victory. Green has one more match in his stay with Gloucestershire, which was funded by a mystery benefactor, away to Darren Lehmann's Northamptonshire, before joining Australia for the World Test Championship final. "He's been an amazing asset for us, on and off the field. I've loved having him around and learning from him," said young opening batter Joe Phillips. Green would love to face Kent's modest, injury-hit attack every week. He has made 310 runs against them this season, compared to 12 in three innings against other opponents. AAP

Green all but seals Test return with second County century
Western Australia's Cam Green has revealed vocal home support spurred him to his second County century in a knock that all but seals his place in Australia's World Test Championship final XI. The all-rounder's unbeaten 102 at Bristol came at the perfect time, arresting a run of four straight single-figure scores since hitting 112 on debut for Gloucestershire last month. In his fourth match since spinal fusion surgery, the towering all-rounder played with plenty of confidence, his trademark driving putting Kent's bowlers to the sword for the second time in as many meetings. With the WTC final just weeks away, starting on June 11 against South Africa at Lord's, selectors now have the evidence needed to back the towering Perth product to return to the international arena for the first time since September 2024 as a specialist batter. Green, who reached his century with a classy pull shot to the fence, revealed he was extra hungry to make the runs in front of the Gloucestershire faithful after they embraced the Australian's arrival, via mystery donor, for five matches. 'I definitely wanted a good score in front of the fans,' he said. 'They've come out in force in the two games I've been here, and I've never really experienced chanting in my name before, so that was awesome to experience. 'It's funny what happens. We played a couple of shots, and the crowd got up and about. It sort of felt like we were really on top of them. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

Green's century turns up the heat on incumbent Australian No.3 Marnus Labuschagne, whose first knock for County club Glamorgan ended in a disastrous six-ball globe, dismissed by fellow Australian Harry Conway. It is believed Green would slot into the Test side at four, meaning Steve Smith would likely need to move to first drop, leaving Labuschagne battling teen sensation Sam Konstas for the opening position. Green will also have the chance to launch into a monster hundred, sitting not out at stumps on the second day as Gloucestershire respond to Kent's first innings total of 424.

Green falls short of victory in county cricket debut
Having made a century in his first innings since undergoing back surgery in October Cam Green had a less successful end to his first match for Gloucestershire, albeit he was reminded of cricket's capacity for drama and tension. Having dropped Kent centurion Ben Compton on Sunday, costing the last 30 runs of Compton's 178, and much time, Green made a 15-ball three on Monday. However, with four batters making half-centuries Gloucestershire were able to pile up a lead of 412 before declaring on 5-333 in their second dig. That proved to be an unnecessarily cautious declaration by fellow West Australian Cameron Bancroft as Kent slumped to 2-8 and 4-49. Green, unable to bowl as he continues his recuperation from a back operation watched mainly from the cordon region, but found himself at a very short mid-on as Glos tried to force victory with fielders ringing the bat. At 6-97 it looked as if they might do so, but out-of-form England opener Zak Crawley, who made a much-needed 169-minute, 112-ball 54 not out, and Australian-born Italy international Grant Stewart (16no) were able to see out the remaining eight overs. That left Kent second in Division Two, two points behind Peter Handscomb's Leicestershire, who were frustrated by the weather in Manchester. Handscomb's impressive 142 in Leicestershire's first innings 8-491 dec, earned only batting bonus points with Lancashire, trailing by 212 runs overnight at 3-16, closing on 3-90. Marcus Harris made an unbeaten 34. Darren Lehmann's Northamptonshire were also forced to settle for a draw at Derby after rain wiped out the final day's play. Tasmania's Caleb Jewell had made 71 for Derbyshire in their second innings of 3-202 overnight, which left them nine runs ahead with Northants still to bat had the weather not intervened. In Division One veteran NSW batter Daniel Hughes maintained his fine start to the English season being stranded one short of his third half-century of the campaign when bad light ended play at Hove. Sussex closed on 0-132 after trailing county champions Surrey by 55 on first innings. The 36-year-old now averages more than 60 after three rounds of the County Championship in which Sussex share top billing in the embryonic table with Fergus O'Neill's Nottinghamshire. The Victorian also spent much of Monday in the pavilion as Warwicks, 6-163 overnight, finished on 6-181 still trailing Notts by 93 runs with four wickets remaining. O'Neill was unable to add to the two wickets he took on Sunday Elswhere, Jonny Bairstow was 86 not out as Yorkshire drew with Somerset at Taunton while Essex and, in Division Two, Middlesex gained the only wins of the round.
