Jewell ton puts Derbyshire on top against Kent
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, County Ground, Derby (day one)Derbyshire 352-2: Jewell 152*, Came 89, Lloyd 50; Gilchrist 1-50Kent: Yet to batDerbyshire 3 pts, Kent 0 ptsMatch scorecard
Caleb Jewell celebrated his maiden century for Derbyshire who dominated the opening day of their home County Championship Division Two match against Kent.The Tasmanian left-hander made an unbeaten 152 and shared a second wicket stand of 196 from 333 balls with Harry Came, who was run out for 89.Jewell and David Lloyd, who scored 50, put on 99 for the first wicket to set the tone for a day of toil for the Kent bowlers with only Nathan Gilchrist taking a wicket.The home side closed on 352-2 and Kent, who have lost their last three games, already have a lot to do to get back into this match.Derbyshire certainly made the most of winning the toss on another sunny morning, aided by some indifferent bowling.The seamers struggled to maintain a consistent line or length and only exerted a measure of control towards the end of the first session when leg spinner Matt Parkinson came into the attack.By then, Jewell and Lloyd were well set with both profiting from Kent's inability to put the ball in the right place often enough.Lloyd's flick over mid-wicket for six off Gilchrist was one of a number of boundaries in a first hour containing only one maiden which summed up how poorly Kent had bowled.Derbyshire's former captain reached his 50 from 86 balls and looked on course for a big score until Gilchrist swung one in to beat his drive with the opening stand one short of a century.That was Kent's only success before lunch although they thought they had another after the interval when Jewell on 59 swept Parkinson to short leg where Ben Compton took the catch at the second attempt.Their celebrations were cut short when umpire Neil Pratt, presumably thinking the ball had been played into the ground, ruled not out after consulting with his colleague at square leg.Kent were clearly unhappy with the decision and at the end of the over Pratt spoke to both Parkinson and captain Daniel Bell-Drummond.It was a big moment as Jewell was batting with authority, particularly through the off side, and with Came growing in confidence after a watchful start, the hosts eased past 200 without further alarm.After Jewell pulled and drove Jake Ball for two more fours, Came swept Parkinson to long leg for three to bring up his 50 from 111 balls and at tea, Derbyshire were well on top at 231-1.At the break, Jewell was seven short of a century and he completed it five overs into the evening session by sweeping Parkinson for a single.It had been a disciplined and measured innings from the Australian who curbed some of his natural attacking instincts to put his team on course for a commanding total.Kent bowled spin at both ends to get to the second new ball which was taken with Derbyshire 294-1 and the breakthrough came immediately, aided by a slice of good fortune.Jewell straight drove Ball who got a touch to deflect it into the stumps at the bowler's end and run out Came but that was the last success of a chastening day for the visitors.ECB Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay

Stand-in captain James Anderson sees Lancashire frustrated by Kent and weather
England's all-time leading wicket-taker Anderson has been handed the captaincy for Lancashire's next two games, with Marcus Harris having returned to Australia for the birth of his second child. Hopes of making early inroads at Stanley Park, though, were scuppered as Kent – put into bat – pushed on to 213 for three through 57.4 overs before play, having already seen a delayed restart to the afternoon session, was eventually called off for the day at 5.30pm. Captain James Anderson. With red ball in hand. Tap below to watch — Rothesay County Championship (@CountyChamp) June 22, 2025 Kent opener Ben Compton was unbeaten on 86, with 10 boundaries, while Zimbabwe batter Tawanda Muyeye had earlier made 63 off 95 balls. George Balderson finished the day with two wickets, while Anderson went for 36 runs off his nine overs which included four maidens. All eyes at Chester-le-Street were on the return of Jofra Archer to first-class action for Sussex in their Division One match against Durham. England bowler Archer – who last played in a red-ball match for Sussex more than four years ago following a litany of injuries – made a swift late cameo with the bat, chalking up 31 off 34 balls as the visitors reached 322 for nine on the back of a fine unbeaten 117 from James Coles. England paceman Jofra Archer was back into first-class action for Sussex – but not with the ball (Gary Oakley/PA) Durham bowler Bas de Leede took four for 83 from his 21 overs. It was an emotional day at Bristol for Gloucestershire, where tributes were paid to David 'Syd' Lawrence, who has died at the age of 61 after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year. Lawrence, the first British-born black cricketer to play for England, took 625 wickets in 280 matches during a 16-year career at Gloucestershire. A minute's silence was held before the start of the Division Two match against Derbyshire, with players wearing black armbands. Before the start of play, Gloucestershire players and staff, alongside @DerbyshireCCC , held a minute of silence in memory of David 'Syd' Lawrence MBE, Gloucestershire's President. — Gloucestershire Cricket 🏆 (@Gloscricket) June 22, 2025 Derbyshire took control after Gloucestershire were bowled out for 187, only captain Cameron Bancroft showing some resistance with a half-century, as Jack Morley took six for 55. The visitors ended the day at 116 for two, with Harry Came unbeaten on 29. Elsewhere in Division One, leaders Nottinghamshire reached 298 for six against Yorkshire at Trent Bridge. Opener Ben Slater fell just short of a century on 96, while Ishan Kishan was 44 not out at stumps on his Nottinghamshire debut. Champions Surrey took control against Worcestershire at New Road. Worcestershire, who sit bottom of the table, won the toss and went in to bat, but were dismissed for 209, Matthew Waite making 68, as Matt Fisher and Jordan Clark both took three wickets. That concludes a strong opening day for Surrey at New Road. 💪 A late flurry of Ryan Patel boundaries means we reach 47/0 in response to Worcestershire's 209. 🤎 | #SurreyCricket — Surrey Cricket (@surreycricket) June 22, 2025 At stumps, unbeaten Surrey had reached 47 without loss from 15 overs. An unbeaten century from Charlie Allison, 101 not out, and a resolute 71 from Matt Critchley helped Essex make 292 for eight against Hampshire at Chelmsford, where Kyle Abbott took three wickets. Somerset made a strong start against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, finishing the opening day 327 for three. Tom Kohler-Cadmore (104) made a century, sharing a first-wicket stand of 186 with fellow opener Josh Davey (67) – only to then swiftly head back to the pavilion a couple of overs later. Scored his first red-ball hundred against the division table-toppers! 👏 How impressed are we with young Asa Tribe 🙌#LEIvGLAM#OhGlammyGlammy — Glamorgan Cricket 🏆 (@GlamCricket) June 22, 2025 In Division Two, Glamorgan ended at 305 for five against leaders Leicestershire at the County Ground. Asa Tribe, 21, scored his maiden first-class century with 107, hitting 14 boundaries and one six. Middlesex piled on the runs at Northamptonshire. An unbeaten 106 from Joe Cracknell and half-centuries from Leus du Plooy (66) and Luke Hollman (51) saw the visitors make 397 for eight. Liam Guthrie picked up a six-wicket haul for 87 runs off his 19-over spell.

Harry Brook one shy of century as England clash with India hangs in the balance
Harry Brook fell one short of a hometown hundred as England's first Test against India hung in the balance on day three at Headingley. The Yorkshire crowd was poised and ready to celebrate the local boy's century as he faced up to Prasidh Krishna on 99 but instead shared his deflation as he turned a pull straight down the neck of the fine-leg fielder. Brook, who had sprung a clearly telegraphed bouncer trap, threw his head back in dismay and dropped his bat as he trudged to the pavilion as the first Englishman to fall for 99 since Jonny Bairstow in 2017. But his innings helped the hosts to a final score of 465 – just six runs behind India's mark and enough to leave every result on the table. Neither side giving an inch as the first Test at Headingley remains evenly poised after Day 3 🏏 #ENGvIND 📝: — ICC (@ICC) June 22, 2025 Brydon Carse and Ben Stokes then picked up one wicket each as the tourists reached 90 for two to began rebuilding their lead. Brook had picked up the baton from Ollie Pope after Saturday's star man was dismissed for 106 in the third, scoring the majority share in stands of 51, 73 and 49 with Stokes, Jamie Smith and Chris Woakes. Every run would have been painful for Jasprit Bumrah, who had Brook caught for nought off a no-ball in the final over on the second evening, and there were further costly errors as he was dropped on 46 and 82. Brook roared out of the blocks, ending Krishna's first over of the day with a cut for four and a thrash for six over midwicket, and assumed the driver's seat when Pope guided a gentle steer into Rishabh Pant's gloves early on. His message rang out loud and clear when he took a couple of steps down the pitch and thrashed Bumrah for four through cover. Few batters have attempted to play the world's number one bowler with such freedom and even fewer have lived to tell the tale. The two best batsman in the world are English. — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 22, 2025 Stokes played the supporting role after arriving at number five, leaving it to Brook to provide explosive moments like his searing drive skipping down the track towards Mohammed Siraj. The captain cobbled together 20 low-key runs but never settled into a rhythm and looked full of regret as he pushed defensively outside off stump and nicked Siraj behind. Brook and Smith found a better tempo, milking 38 runs off six overs from the all-rounder Shardul Thakur, and negotiating the first signs of spin from Ravindra Jadeja. Brook was bested once when he nicked one off the shoulder of the bat but the ball hit Pant's gloves hard and popped out. After adding 118 for two in the morning session, England put on 138 for five between lunch and tea. Smith was good value for a punchy 40 but, having seen one pull off Krishna go all the way for six, he obliged too easily by sending another straight to the designated catcher. Brook was spared when he carved a regulation chance to fourth slip, Yashasvi Jaiswal making a mess of his handiwork for the second time in the match. The punishment was swift and unforgiving, 18 runs off the following over as Brook cut loose. Oh, Harry Brook 😭 An incredible knock ends just short of 100 🙈 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 22, 2025 The century appeared to be coming in quick but instead Brook made the same mistake as Smith, swivelling to take on the long boundary and coming up short. England added 67 vital runs for the last three wickets, Woakes chipping in with 38, before Bumrah wrapped up the innings to finish with a hard-earned and well-deserved five-for. The weather worsened in the evening session, clouds filling in overhead and a strong wind blowing away any threat of rain showers, and an early wicket suggested England could seize the moment. Carse took it, forcing Jaiswal back in defence and flicking the edge with one that held a tight enough line to demand attention. Sai Sudharsan was next in, fresh from a duck in his first Test innings, but he stood admirably firm in a stand of 66 with KL Rahul. That dampened some of England's enthusiasm as the lead they worked so hard to eradicate swelled once more. A Duckett drop at gully did not help matters but Sudharsan (30) only added six more before Stokes foxed him with an inswinger to have him caught at midwicket. Shoaib Bashir threatened to cause more problems as his off-spinners started to grip but showers forced the players off with 25 minutes still to play and India almost 100 in front.

Stand-in captain James Anderson sees Lancashire frustrated by Kent and weather
Stand-in Lancashire captain James Anderson saw his side frustrated by Kent and the weather as there was an early finish to a rain-hit opening day of the Rothesay County Championship Division Two match in Blackpool.
