Kent captain Jack Leaning has urged his batsmen to stand up and be counted as they look for a great escape against Warwickshire in their LV= Insurance County Championship Division 1 game at Canterbury.
Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi proved once again he is the most devastating new ball bowler in white-ball cricket as he picked up four wickets in the first over of a T20 Blast match.
Nottinghamshire Outlaws narrowly missed out on securing a place in the quarterfinals of the ongoing T20 Blast following their two wicket defeat to Birmingham Bears on Friday. Despite Shaheen Afridi taking four wickets in the first over, the Outlaws failed to defend the 169-run total as Rob Yates anchored the Bears' chase of 169 with a 46-ball 65. However, Shaheen hogged all the limelight for his efforts in the first over as he bagged four wickets to give the Outlaws a dream start. The Pakistan pacer dismissed Alex Davies (0), Chris Benjamin (0), Dan Mousley (1) and Ed Bernard (0), respectively.
Birmingham Bears all-rounder Jacob Bethell caugh everyone's attention after he took a diving one-handed catch during a T20 Blast fixture against Yorkshire. Bethell, who captained England during their Test of Australia earlier this year, was applauded for his effort by the Yorkshire fans, who were sitting in the stands behind long-on. The incident happened on the 2nd ball of 19th over of Yorkshire chase when Jordan Thompson tried to hit a boundary off Dan Mousley's delivery. However, Bethell had other ideas as he made a diving leap while running towards his left, before pouching the ball with one hand.
Sometimes winning cricket matches looks easy, as if there is a recipe or formula to be followed, but it’s seldom as straightforward as it appears. Invited to bat by Kent captain Sam Billings and mindful of a grubby day on Friday, the Warwickshire top order piled up the runs on day one, stayed warm on day two and raced to a declaration early on day three, bonus points secured. Sam Hain (165*), Rob Yates (128) and Dan Mousley (94) handed over to the bowlers, who pawed at the ground with Zak Crawley in their sights.
Kent were heavily punished for a miscalculation with the toss as Warwickshire amassed 367-3 on the opening day of their LV=Insurance County Championship Division 1 match at Edgbaston.
Scenes! Absolute scenes at Edgbaston, as Liam Norwell, in the 11th over of a heroic spell, traps Mohammad Abbas in front of all three and sparks delirium in Warwickshire and despair in Yorkshire. County Championship you say? Who needs it?
A round-up of Friday's Vitality Blast action as Birmingham Bears made the highest total ever in the competition, while there was also runs aplenty elsewhere with Essex and Hampshire piling up the runs.
