Green guides Gloucestershire to rare red ball victory
Cam Green's spell playing county cricket in England's West country is a brief one, but Bristolians will not forget him in a hurry, and nor will Kent's beleaguered bowling attack. The Australian allrounder has 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. It was Gloucestershire's first win of the season, and their first home red ball victory since September 2022. Glos were set 162 to win on Monday's fourth and final day after Kent had been dismissed for 253 in their 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, their captain, for seven as they slumped to 4-57 but Green and James Bracey, who shared a 222-run fifth-wicket partnership in the first dig, again combined well. 🌏🏆 Cameron Green hitting a huge six. That's it, that is the post. #BecomeGlorious — Gloucestershire Cricket 🏆 (@Gloscricket) May 19, 2025 After Green was reprieved on three, Jack Leaning missing a sharp chance at second slip off Kashif Ali, he and Bracey they 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 to a 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 assent 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 for thrice out against them this season, compared to 12 in three innings against other opponents. Whether that equips him to face Kagiso Rabada and company at Lord's next month is another matter, but runs on the board are good for any batter's confidence.

Set 329 to win the visitors were never in contention, finishing on 8-220 with Anderson taking 2-25 off 26 overs. The result left Lancashire bottom, four points behind Lehmann's Northants with work to do for new Red Rose captain Marcus Harris. In contrast Leicestershire, captained by Peter Handscomb, are 38 points clear at the top. In Division One Surrey defeated Yorkshire by an innings and 28 runs despite Jonny Bairstow's 77. South Australia's Jordan Buckingham had followed his first innings three and 0-66 with a golden duck. That moved the defending champions top after previous leaders Nottinghamshire lost by seven wickets at Durham.

Ageless James Anderson stars with double wickets on County Cricket comeback
James Anderson marked his much-anticipated return to competitive cricket by claiming two wickets for 24 runs for Lancashire in their County Championship fixture against Derbyshire on May 17.

James Anderson set to make return for Lancashire against Derbyshire
The country's record wicket-taker, and the most prolific seam bowler in Test history, has not played a competitive match since his farewell appearance against the West Indies last June. Since then the 42-year-old has worked as a bowling consultant to the national side, while also eyeing a return to playing. Welcome back, @jimmy9. 🤩 We've named a 14-man squad to face Derbyshire in the @CountyChamp, starting tomorrow at Emirates Old Trafford. Read the full squad news! 📰⤵️ 🌹 #RedRoseTogether — Lancashire Cricket Men (@lancscricket) May 15, 2025 He signed a new one-year deal with the Red Rose earlier this year but missed the first five games of the season with a calf injury. An initial prognosis of a month out was extended by two weeks but he is back for the Rothesay County Championship clash against Derbyshire, where Lancashire will hope he inspires a sharp upturn in fortunes. They sit rock bottom of Division Two and are yet to win a game, leading to Keaton Jennings stepping down as captain this week. England quick Brydon Carse is also in county action in the next four days, returning to the Durham squad for their home game against Division One leaders Nottinghamshire. Carse's stock rose exponentially over the winter as he impressed on tours of Pakistan and New Zealand but badly cut and blistered toes mean he has been on the shelf for the past couple of months. England hope he can get a couple of games in with his county before returning to the squad in time to face India in a five-Test series that serves as the main event of the domestic calendar. James Rew is another set to feature in this round of fixtures, with England releasing him for Somerset's game against Sussex despite featuring in the Test squad that plays Zimbabwe next week. Rew was added to the party as cover for the injured Jordan Cox and, after joining a training camp at Loughborough, will only play in the event of another withdrawal among the batting group.
