Surrey v Essex, Yorkshire v Notts, and more: county cricket day four
Update: Date: 2025-05-26T09:18:00.000Z Title: Sunday's round-up Content: Josh Hull hurtled back to catch Tom Hartley off his own bowling and Leicestershire romped to their fifth victory of the season, all in three days, floating yet further ahead at the top of Division Two. Keaton Jennings batted until shortly after tea for a valiant 112 for Lancashire, but from there Rehan Ahmed and Hull wrapped things up. There wasn't even time for Leicestershire to take to take the new ball. Matt Kuhnemann, at Sophia Gardens for one game only prior to the World Test Championship final, filleted through Middlesex to finish with career-best figures of six for 53, ushering Glamorgan to their third win a row. A barnstorming 57 from Toby Roland-Jones ensured Glamorgan would have to bat again – but only just. Tom Lammonby eased Somerset to an uncharacteristically calm victory over Durham at Chester-le- Street. His unbeaten 104, and 73 from Tom Abell, smoothed Taunton brows on a pitch where 31 wickets had fallen over the first two days. Jack Carson collected five for 26 – his best figures of the summer – as Sussex romped to victory over Hampshire at Southampton. There was joy for Essex's Charlie Allison who crunched 140 – a maiden first-class hundred – at the Oval. Allison, whose previous highest score was 28, batted beautifully and, together with fellow 20-year-old Noah Thain, painted a pretty picture for Essex's future, as Surrey were set 418 for victory. Ben Compton did his best to hold the fort against Derbyshire, 156 in the first innings followed by 49 in the second as Kent were forced to follow-on. Yorkshire, set 463 to win, were beguiled by Nottinghamshire's Liam Patterson-White who grabbed three for 25. Cameron Green scored a fabulous 118 as Gloucestershire made a brave declaration against Northamptonshire.

The Australian made more than 1,000 first-class runs over two stints at Grace Road. He could count himself unfortunate this time, bowled by a ball from Ben Green that dislodged the leg bail after seeming to pinball off his thigh pad and the back of his was rather less bad luck involved in the four other dismissals that left Lancashire 171-7 at tea. Josh Bohannon, beaten for pace, was leg before to a good delivery from Hull, but George Bell and Matty Hurst, both caught at slip within the space of three deliveries bowled by Holland and Tom Scriven, may reflect that they should have played better Handscomb, who caught both, the first at the second attempt, instinctively grabbed on to another deflection as George Balderson became a second victim for Scriven. This time it was via a superb ball that went past the edge and hit the off stump. Scriven was denied when diving wicketkeeper Ben Cox put down Tom Bailey on four, but Leicestershire were well on Hartley (23 not out), marshalled a degree of resistance as Leicestershire's bowlers got into the tail, but Bailey was bowled offering no shot. Lancashire dragged their total past 200 before Anderson Phillip, off a steepling top edge, and Will Williams were caught tamely, was caught at midwicket, and Patel at second slip as Williams and Bailey claimed a wicket each with the new with Lewis Hill at the crease to temper Rehan Ahmed's exuberance, Leicestershire recovered from 24-2 to close on 59 without further Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay

Winter ‘beasting' has England's Josh Hull firing for new cricket season
Josh Hull returns for Leicestershire this week, his first outing since that fast-tracked Test debut against Sri Lanka last summer. A winter 'beasting' by the England Lions fitness coaches has the giant left-armer feeling stronger, with a more robust base from which to attack a potentially huge year of cricket. Through no fault of his own, Hull was seen as the embodiment of Bazball braggadocio at the end of last season when thrown into Test cricket after just 10 first-class games as England blew their shot at a perfect summer. It was no disgrace – first-innings figures of three for 53 – but ended with a quad strain that underlined the physicality required. Speaking before his county comeback on Friday, the 6ft 7in Hull is trying not to think about the visit of India this summer, nor the almighty Ashes tour that follows. Instead it is about putting a winter of training with Andrew Flintoff's Lions into practice on the pitch, be it the skills developed or the conditioning he was previously short on. 'It was a pretty surreal week,' says Hull, looking back on his Test debut and the stirring speech that Flintoff delivered when presenting him with his England cap. 'It all happened so quickly but the environment helped me massively to go out there and express myself. I came away from it having learned a lot, both the mental side of Test cricket but also the physical aspect. It is a lot more draining and has higher demands on the body. But after three Lions trips [since then], I feel in a really good place. 'I have done a lot of strength work. In Australia I knew I was not going to play, it was more about hammering the fitness. It was a bit of a beasting at times but I genuinely loved it and have always been the type to push myself. It was just the starting block really, there is a way to go, but I can definitely feel the benefits from it already.' England are looking to build a battery of quicks but as well as his height – something that saw him play second-row in rugby growing up – the left-arm angle and the ability to swing the ball late is what sets Hull apart. There is still a fair bit to learn, however, highlighted by the fact that Test debut was the first time he bowled wobble-seam in his career. 'Hmm, not quite,' says Hull, when asked if it was true he learned the delivery that week. 'I knew how to do it but had never used it in a match. I was in the nets with [bowling coach] Jimmy Anderson, tried it out and he told me it was great, make sure I use it, and gave me a few extra pointers. So I brought it out in the match. 'Working with Jimmy, it was just gold dust really. I wasn't even born when he made his Test debut [in 2003] but grew up watching him. The wobble seam gave me an extra something to work with and made my inswinger feel a lot more threatening too. These are the things I want to carry on with to become a much more rounded bowler.'

It has been an eye-catching start to the season for the Foxes, not least the leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed opening the batting and chalking up his second first-class century at Old Trafford last week. 'It feels like we are in a really good place,' says Hull. 'It has been building for the past year or so. I've kind of just set my focus on that for now, just trying to make sure I'm sort of bowling as well as possible. Anything else will follow naturally from there.'

Thomas 'over the moon' with Leicestershire squad depth
Leicestershire head coach Alfonso Thomas has praised his squad's strength in depth after a convincing opening week County Championship victory against Foxes lost opening batter Rishi Patel to a thumb injury in the third over of the match in Cardiff, with main strike bowler Chris Wright also set to miss the second game of the season against was limited to just 9.5 overs in Glamorgan's second innings but they still went on to win by 10 wickets, in a result Thomas described as "really satisfying"."There's depth, there's competition for places," the former Somerset and Hampshire bowler told BBC Radio Leicester."We know that to be able to be competitive over a County Championship season, you will need 16 or 17 guys to put their hands up."We lost our opening batter in the third over, on the first day of the first day of the season, which is not ideal."I had three or four guys put their hand up to open, and to bat number three. As a whole, I'm over the moon with it, it was a fantastic squad effort." The Foxes are set to be without pace bowler Wright against Derbyshire next week, and England test international Josh Hull is unlikely to feature, having been injured in international all-rounder Logan van Beek has landed in the UK, Thomas said, and is set to make his debut at Grace Road on Friday."We've got a cartel of bowlers that will make us competitive", Thomas added."We are taking the more conservative approach with Josh Hull, because he's so important for us in all formats. "We have one eye on the T20s. I don't want to rush him back too soon."Australia international and club captain Peter Handscomb praised the team's ability to "stick to their processes and plans".Leicestershire took the fewest wickets in Division Two last year, drawing 10 of 14 matches."We're trying to fit 13 or 14 blokes into 11, there's going to be some tough calls, but the pleasing thing is we have guys ready and waiting to stand up when they get an opportunity," he said."If we're going to have a good season, it's going to take a whole squad."We'll try not to look far ahead, it's one game of a 14-game season. It's a great way to start but there's a lot of cricket to be played."
