Freddie Flintoff’s son, 16, shows he’s chip off the old block with performance for England

Rocky Flintoff, son of cricket legend Freddie Flintoff, enjoyed a remarkable debut for England U19s, scoring an impressive 106 to secure victory over a Young Lions Invitational XI on Monday.

The 16-year-old, who attended school in Manchester and started his career for a local club in Chesire, showcased glimmers of his father's batting prowess ahead of a three-match youth ODI series against Sri Lanka. England were in a precarious position when Flintoff entered the game, having lost both their openers in the first five overs and standing at 52-4 but the teenager was unaffected by the pressure, forming an 81-run partnership with Charlie Allison to put England in a strong position to chase down 288.

By the time Flintoff was caught on 106, England only needed 14 more runs, which Harry Moore and Tazeem Ali provided, securing the victory by two wickets. Flintoff's match-winning innings included eight fours and three sixes from 111 balls.

In an interesting twist, Archie Vaughan, son of 2005 Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan, was playing for the opposing side. The 18-year-old scored a stunning 85 from 83 balls, top-scoring for the Lions with 10 fours and a six. Vaughan also bowled eight overs, taking two wickets.

Flintoff had the honour of playing for England for the first time, an experience that would've filled the Flintoff household with joy. His mum Rachel was there to watch the proud moment at Loughborough.
