Thomas Rew out for 149<\/p>\n
A standing ovation for the 18 year old ginger prince. What an astonishing innings. Notts finally got him out turning Webster off his legs and into the gloves of Davies. Overton also out for 111 \u2013 the partnership 233. Somerset<\/a> 390-8, lead Warwicks by 268.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Glamorgan need 195 to win<\/p>\n And, oh what that is that? Horrendous running. Billy Root called for the run, Tribe started, but then went back and somehow they both ended up at the non-striker\u2019s end. A furious Root stalks off, run out 0. Glamorgan 0-1.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n I was going to say it was weird how Tom Lawes was allowed to swap for Atkinson despite being a much better batter but in fact they average almost exactly the same, 19.something. This game is skipping away from Glamorgan \u2013 the lead 189. It should be enough but\u2026.The last pair have now added 99 \u2013 the lead 189 over Surrey.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Durham are rattling through Northants now. Another catch by Ben McKinney, who has been a safe pair of hands since he dropped Vasconcelos in the first over of Ben Stokes spell on Friday! Sanderson the man gone, a second wicket for Aldridge. Northants 240-9.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>A hundred for Craig Overton<\/p>\n The partnership between Tom Rew and Craig Overton has now passed 200 \u2013 the lead over Warwickshire<\/a> 244 \u2013 and Overton has a hundred of his own! A third of what has been a rich season. still think he would have done a job at The Oval.<\/p>\n A seventh wicket for Tom Helm at Canterbury. Parkinson followed shortly afterwards for a duck and Kent, 257-9, \u2013 lead Middlesex by 230. Game on!<\/p>\n And Romeo\u2019s pets\u2019 corner is open here<\/a> \u2013 place the pet to the CCLive reader.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019ve just been chatting to young Thomas Ridley who is doing the Counter Press website for Durham cricket, The Chester<\/a>. Worth a look for those of you who want more Durham news.<\/p>\n Look up to see Guthrie striding off, driving to mid on into the hands of a diving mid-on, Ben Raine. Northants 230-8.<\/p>\n Time to go round the grounds.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n And Potts strikes! Bartlett, surprised, pops one up to backward point.northants 204-7.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Matthew Potts throws his bowling marker on the ground and is opening the bowling from the Finchale end. It\u2019s still quite nice and cool here in north country, long may it last.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a006.00 EDT<\/p>\n Roundup: Leicestershire canter to first top-tier win in 23 years<\/p>\n On the day the England and Wales Cricket Board whisked Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson away from County Championship action<\/a>, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Hampshire and Derbyshire stole the show, tucking wins under their belt within three days.<\/p>\n At Grace Road, Leicestershire, without a win this summer, rolled over Yorkshire by an innings and 39 runs \u2013 their first victory in Division One since 2003. Dan Moriarty (51), with Dom Bess (40) and then Jack White (21), bashed 95 for the last two wickets, but it was too little, too late.<\/p>\n Hampshire\u2019s dreadful season also had a timely fillip, beating Sussex by 118 runs in front of a large and vocal crowd let in for free on Father\u2019s Day. Sussex needed 253 for victory and Dan Hughes and Tom Alsop sailed them safely to lunch but things hit choppy waters from there as Sussex lost seven for 26, with Eddie Jack grabbing a career-best four for 36.<\/p>\n Essex were undone by Nottinghamshire on a turning Chelmsford pitch that had been designed for Simon Harmer. Instead, it was Notts\u2019 spinner Liam Patterson-White who finished with career-best match figures of nine for 109 as Essex were bowled out for 221 to lose by an innings. Fergus O\u2019Neill pocketed five for 39.<\/p>\n It was another miserable day for Lancashire, who were dismissed before lunch at Chesterfield to tick off a fourth defeat of the season. Derbyshire\u2019s Ben Aitchison completed a happy match with five for 49. Seventeen-year-old Joe Moores biffed a maiden first-class 50, clonking four sixes along the way.<\/p>\n Stokes warmed up with Durham and there was some dismay that his substitute Colin Ackermann would not be allowed to bowl. Stokes also had a hand in Northamptonshire bringing in substitute Gus Miller, called up to replace Luke Procter, whose finger had got in the way of a Stokes straight drive.<\/p>\n Miller top-scored in Northants\u2019 second innings with a pretty 61, becoming the second Augustus to play for Northants after Richard Augustus Agincourt Beresford, whose niece Elisabeth wrote The Wombles. At stumps the Northants lead was 245, the game nicely in the balance. Matthew Potts again bowled with verve to pick up three for 58.<\/p>\n While there was no place for James Rew in England\u2019s squad for the third Test, his brother Thomas stroked a second century for Somerset in eight days. His A-levels done and dusted, he hit an unbeaten 133 in an enterprising fightback against Warwickshire alongside Craig Overton (89 not out) to take the match into a tantalising fourth day.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Scores on the doors<\/p>\n Division One<\/p>\n Chelmsford: Nottinghamshire<\/a> 457 BEAT Essex 184 and 221 by an innings and 52 runs<\/p>\n Sophia Garden: Glamorgan 358 v Surrey 105 and 398-9<\/p>\n Grace Road: Leicestershire<\/a> 453 BEAT Yorkshire 185 and 229 BY an innings and 39 runs.<\/p>\n Taunton: Somerset 208 and 341-6 v Warwickshire<\/a> 330<\/p>\n Hove: Hampshire<\/a> 191 and 220 BEAT Sussex 159 and 134 by 188 runs.<\/p>\n DIVISION TWO<\/p>\n Chesterfield: Derbyshire<\/a> 364 and 25-1 BEAT Lancashire 161 and 226 by nine wickets<\/p>\n Chester-le-Street: Durham<\/a> 405 v Northants 450 and 200-6<\/p>\n Canterbury: Kent 416 and 233-7 v Middlesex<\/a> 443<\/p>\n New Road: Worcestershire 388 v Gloucestershire<\/a> 289 and 59-1<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Good morning from beautiful Chester le Street and welcome to the final day of Championship cricket until August 20. Only five games to keep an eye on today after Notts and the unlikely trio of Leicestershire, Hampshire and Derby won in three days, but still plenty to enjoy especially at Taunton, where young princeling Thomas Rew and old hand Craig Overton have given Somerset<\/a> something to bowl at. Amid the chaos, play always starts at 11am. Do join us.<\/p>\n
