In radiant evening sunlight at Old Trafford, Nathan Lyon was causing chaos. With the ball spitting and ripping, and four men close to the bat, squatting on top of their long shadows, Kent’s Daniel Bell-Drummond and Ben Compton dug into their task of survival, and digging out the 164 Lancashire had set them to win.

Lyon, sunglasses characteristically attached to his shaved head, appealed vigorously, but neither he nor Tom Hartley could make the breakthrough. Kent, despite losing Zak Crawley to the second over of the innings, lbw for one, need another 93. Earlier, Matt Parkinson and Wes Agar finished with three wickets each, despite some plucky innings from Lancashire’s young batters, Georges Balderson and Bell and Matty Hurst.

Seales, who was twice on a hat-trick, finished with a career-best five for 29, and warm words from his head coach at Sussex, Paul Farbrace, who said: “In the four games he’s played for us, every single spell he’s run in hard. He’s never cantered in, he’s never taken it easy and never not wanted to bowl.”

Yorkshire flayed Glamorgan to all corners of Headingley, cantering to maximum batting points with bags of overs to spare. Joe Root cruised to 156, his second hundred in consecutive games, Finlay Bean an aggressive 173, his highest first-class score, while Harry Brook and Jonny Tattersall contributed funky fifties. Mason Crane, who took a tonking, finished with five for 152. Glamorgan lost three wickets – including Kiran Carlson unlucky to be run out off Root’s shin pad at silly point – before Sam Northeast and Colin Ingram dug in.

“Interesting article by Ali from PCA Concerns about the amount of domestic cricket being played.
“To some extent, this concern makes sense given that the root of the ECB’s evils of adding a fourth format to the season would make the schedule beyond the Championship stage incredibly confusing. Players often get the impression that they don’t really know what format they’re playing in the middle.
“Still, there are some complaints about not being able to wash. Travel time in the UK is less of an issue (compare that to an NBA basketball road trip in the US). And what about traveling in a team bus, which is safer and more environmentally friendly?” Or? Most sports teams seem to do that.
“Above all, 78 days of cricket in one county (the figure cited by Ali) doesn’t seem like too much, even over six months. This includes all the champions who could theoretically play. It includes Ship Day (which doesn’t actually take place) and the One Day Cup, but these days it’s full of second-team players who are grateful for the chance to shine, if at all. There aren’t many.
“Come on, guys, it’s a professional sport and it’s also a great life. I’d trade it for an office job any day.”
Hartley and Ryan drive away, it does not get into the dust very much, but the soil becomes slightly less moist. Kent’s goal was reduced to 84. Let’s get him to 80 after this morning’s goal in Compton. Compton is a little less snail-like.
Good morning, Tim Maitland!
“Just reflecting on Joe Root’s 156 points against Glamorgan and his 119 points in the last game against Derbyshire, you can’t help but think it could be really good news for England.
“Of course these are not Test-level attacks, but I would argue Root is the only one who didn’t have to be influenced by the ‘buzz ball’ philosophy that Brendon McCullum wants. He was already scoring at a rate that couldn’t even reach the Test captain’s face, and more importantly, he was doing it in a relatively risk-free manner. He would create one or two off a good ball and send a bad ball at just the right time. . I would argue that Root’s abilities have diminished given his release from the captaincy and the freer reign of the Ben Stokes era. It wasn’t like his innovative shots were getting out all that often, but he seemed to be getting out more and more to score at a higher rate than necessary.
“The brilliance of yesterday’s innings (foreshadowed by the more pedestrian innings against Derbyshire) was that while he scored almost one run and one ball, his century happily came on just 100 balls. , Root wasn’t applying any pressure to make runs. The scoop seemed to be largely shelved and the reverse sweep returned to its role as a surprise weapon.
“If this is part of a plan to get him back to his early self that made him a successful Test batsman, he is looking to enjoy a real Indian summer as he enters the latter stages of his career. Maybe.”
