A win for Yorkshire at last after whipping the tablecloth from under Gloucestershire, taking 13 wickets in a day at Scarborough. Zaman Akhter made a career-best 70 for Gloucestershire while Conor McKerr, on loan from Surrey, was on a hat-trick in each innings as he pocketed five wickets, and Adam Lyth took the catch of the match with a swallow-dive at second slip to complete a happy three days at his home ground.
Surrey enforced the follow-on at New Road, but then encountered plucky resistance from Worcestershire’s Gareth Roderick and Kashif Ali, who were untroubled for 34 overs until Jordan Clark had Roderick caught at slip as three wickets fell in the space of 10 balls. Before play Jeetan Patel, England’s spin bowling coach, supervised Surrey’s Dan Lawrence and Shoaib Bashir out in the middle.
James Vince and Liam Dawson rocked gently to their first Championship centuries of the summer as Hampshire piled up the runs at Edgbaston. Vince was unbeaten on 166 when he declared, setting Warwickshire 498 to win on a flat pitch in the hot sun.
Paul Walter danced to a frisky second Championship hundred at Chelmsford but Durham whipped through the rest, Matthew Potts bowling rapidly for four for 71. Durham didn’t enforce the follow on, and Essex were set 433 on the last day.
Lancashire had Kent on the ropes at Canterbury, after Josh Bohannon sparked the engine on his previous static car with 205, and Lancashire ran through Kent’s second innings. Three late wickets by Jack Carlson put Sussex in an excellent position against Leicestershire, the Hove pitch starting to turn and the visitors needing another 325 runs with only five wickets remaining.
Haseeb Hameed lost his stumps on 91 as Nottinghamshire fought back against Somerset. Migael Pretorius had earlier helped Somerset to a first-innings lead with an unbeaten 95, as Dillon Pennington took his first five-fer for Notts. Toby Roland-Jones grabbed five wickets as Derbyshire imploded in the first hour at Lord’s. They will need 396 to beat Middlesex.
