They usually name it a day at Lord’s.
Dom Bess actually has gone daring with the bleach bottle – full on white blond, no trace of honey. Comfortable for Moriarty right here, he spent so lengthy on the sidelines at Surrey, now into his 51st over (1-121) of the innings.
Daniel Bell-Drummond on at present’s win: “These wins are usually not simple to come back by, so hopefully we will go from energy to energy. It is a very proud day for me however now we now have three days off after which we’re again to it.
“Each Wes Agar and Nathan Gilchrist bowled brilliantly. It was world-class bowling that bowled them out very cheaply within the first innings and put us within the box-seat within the recreation. They have been hungry to get again into it and so they actually confirmed their class.”
A second for Joe Root! Cooke bowled and now the door is open.
100 for Sam Northeast!
A hungry Northeast reaches his second century of the 12 months – the primary was that unbeaten 335. He already has 500 runs below his belt – if he might make this a double, 1000 earlier than the tip of Might out of the blue flies into sight.
Have arrived house. The Giro appears to have taken priority over Yorks v Glamorgan, the place Ingram has been out. A wicket for Root J. Glam 4 down, lead by 11.
100 for Colin Ingram!
This was earlier than lunch really, however deserves celebrating. A cracking efficiency by Glamorgan of their second innings to take issues to close parity, a partnership of 200 between Ingram and that purveyor of huge scores, Sam Northeast.
I’m going to cycle house now with the covers on at Outdated Trafford. One chink of sunshine for Lancs supporters – Saqib Mahmood is because of play within the subsequent spherical of matches, towards Notts at Trent Bridge.
Lunchtime dialogue: Roger Bannister’s sub four-minute mile, the highest sporting achievement of the final 100 years.

Kent 20 factors, Lancashire 3
It should be day 4, chips and sandwiches for lunch within the press field – and really completely satisfied everybody is simply too. Kent want two to win… and there we’re! DBD 79 not out; Denly senior 19 not out – a primary win for Kent this season, and so they look completely delighted.
If they’re to lose –and Kent want simply 15 – Lancashire would be the solely workforce to have misplaced two Championship matches.
Slightly replace on Fisher from Graham H at Headingley – Fisher didn’t heat up this morning , so presumably will play no half at present. Appears to be like like an harm to the left ankle.
And a wicket! A second for Lyon, Leaning obliges: straight into the palms of Wells at slip. In all probability too little, in all probability too late. Kent 129-3, want 35.
Make that two fifities and two tons of for DBD in 4 matches.
They’re taking an early lunch at Lord’s, 12.30 immediate for a medium glass of Sauvingon and an avocado soften.
Sam Northeast and Colin Ingram each transferring in the direction of seemingly inevitable centuries at Headingley towards a Yorkshire aspect shorn of Fisher, who tripped whereas attempting to save lots of a boundary yesterday.
And Bell-Drummond passes fifty for the fourth time this season – a cracking begin to his first season as Kent captain.
Twelve overs right here at OT this morning, loads of menace, however not as a lot stress as Lancashire may need hoped – there hasn’t been a maiden but. The hundred up for Kent, who want one other 63.
It’s out of the blue trying sticky for Kent. Hartley and Lyon have the bit between their tooth. At the very least Anderson isn’t pawing the turf within the deep.
No play, by the way, at Lord’s – the place it’s raining and the forecast is depressing.
Good! Compton should go this time, he drives, and Lyon, all worldwide reflexes, dives to his proper and collects. Kent 92-2, require 73.
A drop! And it’s the crab-like Compton, dropped by Will Williams, the ball bouncing out of his paws as he hit the bottom.
One other e-mail drops – good morning, Jonathan Might!
“An fascinating article by Ali re the PCA’s issues in regards to the quantity of home cricket being performed.
”To an extent the issues make sense, provided that, after the championship part, the schedule turns into extremely messy, as a result of ECB’s mom of all disasters in including a fourth format to the season. You usually get the impression that gamers are not sure which format they’re taking part in mid-way by.
”Some complaints don’t wash although. Journey occasions in England aren’t a lot of a difficulty (examine US NBA basketball highway journeys!). And the way about travelling round in workforce buses, not their vehicles, because it’s safer and extra environment-friendly? Most sports activities groups appear to.
“Above all, 78 days’ cricket for a county (the quantity Ali quotes) doesn’t appear an excessive amount of over six months. That features all of the championship days theoretically getting performed on (which they by no means do) and the one-day cup, which is these days stuffed with second-team gamers grateful for the possibility to shine. Only a few gamers, if any, play all of the matches.
“Come on guys, it’s knowledgeable sport and a pleasant life too. I’d swap it for an workplace job any day.”
Hartley and Lyon are wheeling away, not fairly into the mud, the marginally much less damp soil. Kent’s goal has shrunk to 84 – make that 80 with that boundary from Compton, who’s barely much less snail-like this morning.
Good morning, Tim Maitland!
“Simply chewing the cud over Joe Root’s 156 towards Glamorgan and the 119 he scored within the final match versus Derbyshire and I can’t assist considering it may be actually excellent news for England.
”After all these aren’t check calibre assaults, however I’d argue Root was the one one who didn’t must be influenced by no matter Brendon McCullum needs the “Bazball” philosophy to be known as. He was already scoring at a price that might get below the pores and skin of any check captain and, extra importantly, was doing it in a comparatively danger free method: the nurdling of ones and twos off good balls and the exquisitely timed despatching of the unhealthy ones. Relieved of the captaincy and given the freer reign of the Ben Stokes period, I’d argue Root grew to become much less efficient. It wasn’t that his novelty photographs have been getting him out that usually, however he gave the impression to be getting out extra usually pushing to attain at a better price than he wanted to.
”The great thing about yesterday’s innings (foreshadowed by the extra pedestrian one towards Derbyshire), was that whereas scoring at nearly a run a ball – his century got here pleasingly in precisely 100 balls, Root wasn’t urgent to fabricate runs. The news appears to have been largely shelved and the reverse sweep has been returned to its position as a shock weapon.
”If that is a part of a plan to get himself again to what made him such a profitable check batsman within the first place, he may very well be about to get pleasure from an actual Indian summer season as he enters the later levels of his profession.”
Gamers categorical concern in regards to the congested home fixture checklist:
Sunday’s spherical up
In radiant night daylight at Outdated Trafford, Nathan Lyon was inflicting chaos. With the ball spitting and ripping, and 4 males near the bat, squatting on high of their lengthy shadows, Kent’s Daniel Bell-Drummond and Ben Compton dug into their process of survival, and digging out the 164 Lancashire had set them to win.
Lyon, sun shades characteristically hooked up to his shaved head, appealed vigorously, however neither he nor Tom Hartley might make the breakthrough. Kent, regardless of dropping Zak Crawley to the second over of the innings, lbw for one, want one other 93. Earlier, Matt Parkinson and Wes Agar completed with three wickets every, regardless of some plucky innings from Lancashire’s younger batters, Georges Balderson and Bell and Matty Hurst.
A reverse-swinging masterclass from a zinging Jayden Seales careered by Derbyshire’s second innings, sending them flying like Smarties at a youngsters’s social gathering, and to defeat by an innings and 124 runs.
Seales, who was twice on a hat-trick, completed with a career-best 5 for 29, and heat phrases from his head coach at Sussex, Paul Farbrace, who stated: “Within the 4 video games he’s performed for us, each single spell he’s run in arduous. He’s by no means cantered in, he’s by no means taken it simple and by no means not needed to bowl.”
Derbyshire’s New Zealand quick bowler Blair Tickner didn’t bat, and introduced that his spouse Sarah is affected by leukaemia and is receiving therapy within the UK. Sussex misplaced some extent as a consequence of a sluggish over price.
Yorkshire flayed Glamorgan to all corners of Headingley, cantering to most batting factors with luggage of overs to spare. Joe Root cruised to 156, his second hundred in consecutive video games, Finlay Bean an aggressive 173, his highest first-class rating, whereas Harry Brook and Jonny Tattersall contributed funky fifties. Mason Crane, who took a tonking, completed with 5 for 152. Glamorgan misplaced three wickets – together with Kiran Carlson unfortunate to be run out off Root’s shin pad at foolish level – earlier than Sam Northeast and Colin Ingram dug in.
A whole bunch for Sam Robson and Leus du Plooy helped Middlesex previous 400 at Lord’s, with a few wickets for Leicestershire’s Rehan Ahmed.
