County cricket: Lancashire v Northants, Surrey v Hampshire and more – live

Lancashire vs Northamptonshire at Old Trafford

Young England bowler John Turner, joining Lancashire on loan from Hampshire, received his county cap from Jimmy Anderson upon his debut. Shortly after, news broke that Anderson is to be knighted in the resignation honours list of Rishi Sunak.

Despite the honour, Anderson might be relieved to avoid bowling on a very dry Old Trafford pitch. Turner displayed energy and aggression in his bowling, but Northamptonshire’s batsmen resisted effectively. Saif Zaib composed a century, while James Sales, close to his own century, was dismissed near the boundary.

Durham vs Warwickshire at Chester-le-Street

Ben McKinney continued his impressive form, scoring his second Championship century, an unbeaten 143 against Warwickshire, watched by Ben Stokes. After reaching the nineties, he achieved his century emphatically, adding 109 runs with Matthew Potts (53).

Nottinghamshire vs Essex at Trent Bridge

Kyle Verreynne of South Africa played a crucial innings of 111 for Nottinghamshire, who recovered from a precarious 78 for five. His century frustrated Essex. Sam Cook bowled impressively for Essex, claiming two wickets under the observation of Rob Key.

Surrey vs Hampshire at The Oval

Dom Sibley demonstrated resilience with a century for Surrey at The Oval, carrying his bat through the innings. Only Geoff Boycott has achieved this feat more times since World War II. Hampshire’s bowlers, spearheaded by Brad Wheal, consistently challenged Surrey’s batting lineup.

Sussex vs Somerset at Hove

An unpredictable game at Hove saw Sussex gain an advantage, despite a batting collapse in the afternoon. A flurry of wickets late in the day from Fynn Hudson-Prentice put Somerset in trouble at 62 for five at the close of play.

Yorkshire vs Worcestershire at Headingley

At Headingley, Yorkshire capitalized on favourable batting conditions, with Dawid Malan leading the charge with 98 runs. Jonny Bairstow reacted with visible frustration after being given out caught behind for seven runs in a decision Worcestershire’s slip fielders seemed to second guess.

Kent vs Middlesex at Canterbury

Zak Crawley was dismissed lbw for a duck in just four balls against Toby Roland-Jones at Canterbury. Kent batted after Middlesex were bowled out for 222, but subsequently struggled, ending the day at 172 for six.

Leicestershire vs Derbyshire at Grace Road

Sol Budinger (81) provided Leicestershire with a rapid start at Grace Road, with Derbyshire’s bowlers enduring a high-scoring innings as the scoreboard passed 400 runs.

Gloucestershire vs Glamorgan at Bristol

Cameron Bancroft of Gloucestershire quickly made an impact after arriving from a flight, scoring 163 against Glamorgan in his first match as captain of the red-ball team.
