Josh Tongue laps up moment to impress England as Nottinghamshire beat Durham
Josh Tongue put himself firmly in the England frame on a belated Nottinghamshire debut as his five-wicket haul secured a Rothesay County Championship victory over Durham. Tongue's Nottinghamshire baptism was delayed by a full season because of injuries following his 2023 move from Worcestershire, with a pectoral problem the main issue. But with bowling trio Mark Wood, Olly Stone and Brydon Carse sidelined by injuries, Tongue made the most of his first opportunity this season to impress the England selectors. It's all gone Josh Tongue 💚💛#NOTvDUR — Nottinghamshire CCC (@TrentBridge) April 7, 2025 Tongue, who made a career-best 55 with the bat in Nottinghamshire's first innings, took five for 66. A devastating final spell claimed four wickets in 12 deliveries, including the vital scalp of Graham Clark for 62, from a ball right at the end of its 80-over match lifespan. Colin Ackermann, the South African-born Netherlands international, made 124 to go with his first-innings 116 as Durham, 201 behind on first innings, sought to salvage a Trent Bridge draw. Durham lost their last five wickets for 21 runs, leaving Nottinghamshire needing 89 to win from 40 overs remaining in the match. 📹 Josh Tongue bags his second consecutive double-wicket over to claim his first five-fer in Green and Gold. Raine is bowled for nought before centurion Ackermann is lbw. Durham are 280-9, leading by 79.#NOTvDUR | 📺 — Nottinghamshire CCC (@TrentBridge) April 7, 2025 Skipper Haseeb Hameed (39 not out ) and Joe Clarke 35 (not out) shared an unbroken partnership of 50 as Nottinghamshire reached their target in 17.1 overs. Surrey's bid for a fourth successive title started with a draw against Essex at Chelmsford. Essex enjoyed the better of the game after making 582 for six declared and forcing the champions to follow on. Surrey resumed on nine without loss and 208 runs adrift on day four, and dug in to avoid defeat after two wickets in seven balls early on gave Essex brief hopes of victory. We shake hands with Surrey 219/6. 🤝 We take 11 points from the opening match of the 2025 season. 🤎 | #SurreyCricket — Surrey Cricket (@surreycricket) April 7, 2025 Dom Sibley (66) and Ben Foakes (50) provided the backbone to Surrey's resistance, the pair putting on a painstaking 101 in 41 overs. Former England opener Sibley faced 221 balls in his innings before falling to Noah Thain just after tea. Foakes completed his second fifty of the match after making 92 in the first innings and Surrey finished on 219 for six.

Aussie seamer O'Neill makes fine English county debut
Fergus O'Neill has carried on where he left off back home as the Sheffield Shield player of the season made a striking four-wicket County Championship debut for Nottinghamshire. As the 2025 English season kicked off under blue skies on Friday, the Victoria quick O'Neill wasn't the only Australian newcomer to shine with Caleb Jewell making a sparkling half-century for Derbyshire and Northamptonshire's Liam Guthrie clean bowling England Test opener Zak Crawley. 📹 Our new Australian has had quite the debut day!#NOTvDUR | 📺 — Nottinghamshire CCC (@TrentBridge) April 4, 2025 O'Neill came to Trent Bridge, looking forward to parading his ability on a Test ground after a superb season back home in which he had taken 38 wickets at 21.07 apiece, and it took him just three overs to strike on his debut against Durham. The much-touted future England prospect Ben McKinney was his first victim, caught behind, and O'Neill followed up by dismissing Emilio Gay in similar fashion in his next over. The 24-year-old grabbed another couple of wickets later in the day to finish with 4-74 off his 21 overs as Durham reached 9-370, largely off the back of Colin Ackermann's 116, the first century of the championship season and crafted on his 34th birthday. At Derby, the home side's new Tasmanian import Jewell looked quite at home as he struck 61 in his maiden championship knock off just 48 balls. Jewell races to fifty smashing 10 fours in the process!Instant impact from our overseas 👏#WeAreDerbyshire — Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) April 4, 2025 The 27-year-old left-hander hit 12 boundaries, including five in one over off Matt Taylor, as he zipped past the 50 mark off just 37 balls. His pacy progress was ended, though, when he pulled Marchant de Lange to fine leg, and Derbyshire went to finish the day on 2-127 in response to Gloucestershire's 222. Queensland left-armer Guthrie made a spectacular start to life for Darren Lehmann-coached Northamptonshire, taking a wicket with just his 10th ball in the English game while heaping more misery on the struggling Kent and England star Crawley, out for just one, stumps uprooted, on just the seventh delivery he faced. The 27-year-old Guthrie, who grew up in Western Australia but is seen as a home player because of his UK passport, struck again soon after in his opening spell at Northampton's County Ground to dismiss Kent skipper Daniel Bell-Drummond. 2.4 | How about that 😍Guthrie sends stumps flying and removes Crawley. 💪Kent 3/ live 👉 — Northamptonshire CCC (@NorthantsCCC) April 4, 2025 He finished with 2-69 off his 15 overs as the visitors were bowled out for 231, before Northants tottered to 7-118 in reply. Those hoping to see Dan Worrall, the former Australia international who's been touted as a potential England player this year, in the opening match of Surrey's title defence were left disappointed when the seamer was left out against Essex at Chelmsford with injury. The champions missed their key wicket-taker as another England Test hopeful Jordan Cox made them toil with his ninth first-class ton, hammering 117 from 148 balls as Essex went to stumps sitting pretty on 4-355. Elsewhere, Yorkshire made a dismal start under new captain Jonny Bairstow, who made just 10 as they were skittled out for 121 at Southampton by Hampshire, who closed on 5-164.
