James Anderson impresses with 3-wicket haul in comeback T20 after 11 years
Veteran pacer James Anderson rolled back the years with a tidy spell for Lancashire in the Vitality T20 Blast, claiming three wickets and keeping things tight against Durham. Playing his first match in the format in nearly 11 years, the 41-year-old finished with figures of 3 for 17, helping Lancashire restrict Durham to 150 for who last played a T20 in August 2014, struck early to remove Graham Clark (10) before returning to dismiss Alex Lees (16) and Colin Ackermann (18). Despite registering for the IPL 2025 mega auction, Anderson went duties have often kept Anderson from regular appearances for Lancashire over the years. He did, however, play one County Championship match in 2024, picking up 7 for 35. Since stepping away from international cricket, he has taken up a consultancy role with the England men's team.14 runs and a wicket for James Anderson in the 2 overs as of now on his T20 return. Good his latest T20 wicket. Aman Patel (@lilbrownykid) June 1, 2025 Lancashire made only one change to their side from the win against Nottinghamshire on May 31, with Anderson replacing Mitch Stanley. His inclusion brought not just experience but also control and precision, bolstering a side that had already beaten Worcestershire and Nottinghamshire to begin their Blast campaign last time Anderson featured in a T20 was the 2014 Blast final, when he endured a tough outing against Warwickshire, conceding 52 runs in four wicketless overs. Lancashire lost that match by four runs. Eleven years on, the contrast could not have been more has now played 44 T20s, taking 41 wickets at an average of 32.14 and an economy rate of 8.47. Throughout his career in the format, he has only ever represented Lancashire and his Test retirement, Anderson had told the Final Word podcast last August that he was open to the idea of playing more franchise T20 cricket. "There's plenty of things to think about and I just need to sit down and chat to people about it," he said. "I watch The Hundred and see the ball swinging around in the first 20 balls, and I think, 'I can do that. I can still do that.' I don't know if that is a viable option - to maybe see if I could do a job in white-ball cricket. Franchise cricket is something I've never done."Trending Reel

'His last words on British radio' - poignant end to Nottingham radio legend's final show recorded before his death
The final show that Nottingham radio legend John Peters recorded before his death has been broadcast for the first time as a long-time friend and colleague paid a poignant tribute. John died at the age of 75 on May 24 following a career which saw him become a familiar voice on stations including Radio Trent and Boom Radio. John was the first voice that Nottingham heard when Radio Trent launched on July 3, 1975. Other stations that John helped to launch included Saga 106.6 and GEM-AM. The final part of his career saw him join the line-up at the Nottingham-based national station Boom Radio. John manned programmes including a Friday evening show, a Saturday show called John's Jukebox and a Vintage Charts show during his time at Boom Radio.

This was heard for the first time on Sunday (June 1) at 12pm. The broadcast began with an introduction from David Lloyd, the co-founder of Boom Radio and a long-standing colleague of John Peters. Mr Lloyd opened the broadcast by saying: "This time last week we brought you the sad news of the death of our John Peters who is normally with you this time every Sunday. Today, we celebrate his fine achievements in British radio over more than 50 years and we kick off with a special vintage chart. "It was one prepared by John right at the end of his life. He was told not to carry on by everybody around him, including us, but he took no notice. He battled on one last time and we felt he'd want you to hear those efforts. So for the next hour, lets raise a toast to 'John John' and enjoy his final performance." The show itself began with the usual introduction from John: "Well it's Sunday, it's 12 O'clock. I'm John Peters and we're here on the vintage charts, but where can I send you this week? Well how about the 26th of May 1966?" John's final show was a whistle-stop tour of the top 20 from May 26, 1966, with the final three songs played out by John Peters being Frank Sinatra's Strangers In The Night, Wild Thing by The Troggs and, finally, Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones. Before introducing the latter and running down the top 20, John's last words were: "Don't forget there's no news at 1 O'clock, hope you'll stay with us." Mr Lloyd finished the broadcast by saying: "Those were his last words on British radio after his 50-plus-year-career. It was a chart rundown, at quite a pace, too. Thank you John Peters, my friend."

Lancs thump Notts and Durham win Blast opener
Keaton Jennings made 95 from just 49 balls as Lancashire thumped Nottinghamshire by 47 runs to make it two wins from two in the T20 T20 captain led from the front as his side posted 216-3 having won the toss at Old Trafford, with Luke Wells striking a career-best 87 from 50 balls in a record opening stand of Henriques briefly threatened a chase, making 60 from 32, but it was a lone hand as Notts were bowled out for 169 in the final over. Elsewhere, Ollie Robinson led Durham to victory in their opening game of the competition as they beat Birmingham by three wickets with two overs to spare. Beleaguered Lancashire found succour in their first T20 game of the year with a home win against Worcestershire and they backed it up with a dominant display against struck eight fours and six sixes in running up his second-best T20 score and Wells posted a new highest score, featuring seven boundaries and six stand of 177 in 15.4 overs was the highest T20 partnership for any wicket for Lancashire and put them out of lost openers Lyndon James and Joe Clarke cheaply in the powerplay and tumbled away, with 20-year-old Charlie Barnard taking 3-23 on his debut and Tom Aspinwall 3-26. At Edgbaston, Durham won the toss and took three wickets in the opening 17 balls of the game to set up a comfortable Hain was the only batsman to show for the Bears, making 45 in 28 balls, but New Zealand's Jimmy Neesham took 3-34 as the hosts were bowled out for Clark provided the ideal start to the chase with 40 from 23 deliveries, including five fours and a six, before Robinson took up the mantle, eventually out for 45 from departure, and the wicket soon after of Kasey Aldridge, took some gloss off the victory margin, but it was still achieved with 17 balls in hand.
