Gus Atkinson had the Surrey faithful purring on the day he was given his county cap. With his tiptoeing, tightrope approach and tightly knit hands, he made the ball spit like an overheated wok against Somerset. In his first over he hit Sean Dickson on the hand, who retired hurt, and later removed a softened-up Archie Vaughan, did James Rew for pace and greeted Kasey Aldridge with a missile at his neck. Jordan Clark, all muscle to Atkinson’s venom, did most of the rest, picking up five wickets, including two in two balls. Some oomplah from Lewis Gregory took Somerset to a first batting point and beyond.

A series of injuries had left Durham looking behind the fridge for fast bowlers. But their makeshift seam attack made mincemeat of Worcestershire, who were whistled out for 162. Jake Ball, arriving on a two-match loan from Somerset, celebrated with five for 47, while quickfire South African Codi Yusuf (signed on the recommendation of David Bedingham) ran in at full pelt, picked up two wickets, and worried a few more. Durham then lost four quick wickets of their own.

Josh Tongue fizzed like magnesium at Trent Bridge. Regularly hitting the high 80s, with a gravelly yorker, he pocketed five wickets, three of them in one over, as Sussex were dismissed for 169. It was his second five-fer of the season; Brett Hutton grabbed four for 53. Captain Haseeb Hameed ticked along to 67 not out in Nottinghamshire’s reply.

There was another hulking England hopeful in action at Bristol, where Leicestershire’s Josh Hull pinned big Cameron Green lbw, but Gloucestershire were mainly undone by five wickets from Ben Green, another Somerset loanee. James Bracey’s unbeaten 93 took Leicestershire past 250, before Gloucestershire encountered batting problems of their own.

Important Events
I just read it on the BBC Yesterday, Jacob Duffy of New Zealand (and Worcestershire) described New Road as “the slowest outfielder he’s ever played cricket.” This is something you will chew when a) is probably related to multiple floods in winter and b) when considering your score!
Sibley drives Davy straight into a stump on the non-striker edge, burning safely on his ground, making it a button-like ring like a tumble of buttons.
The loan system is one of the great innovations The past few years. Yesterday, it’s Jake Ball from Somerset, the five-wicket hero of Durham:
That couldn’t have been any better for me. I had a hard time getting a game in Somerset so I filmed the opportunity to play for Durham. I just wanted to get out there but was happy to see the fact that I bowl very well.
This was a happy hunting ground for me. It’s a good pitch to put on the bowl, with a bit of nip, but you still have to put the ball in the right area.
It’s one of the pitches where something happens when you put the ball in the right place. There was a time when it was a bit flat, but overall it’s pinched all day, and as long as we can get a little lead, we hopeBow them completely.
They are a great set of young people. I’ve never been loaned out before, but you want to respect everything these people are doing. I want to make sure I play for the badge and give 110%, and that’s what I did to get the wicket.
Durham happened to have already lost Brotherwick and Rhodes this morning, with the six of them 58 years old, 104 behind in the game they look down on by tomorrow.
Jayden Seals Pick up the first ticket gate of the day – it’s on the Trent Bridge, but it’s not HH. Jack Haynes was behind at 34. Sussex has six wickets if they want to keep the Knotts down, if they already have the lead.
Mickey Stewart’s four people With Burns and Sibley facing the middle, the pavilion is a handful of oval stands. Josh Davy has the ball on the edge of the vaudhole. Burns’ bat makes for a beautiful Cronk.
It was a good day for the possibilities English bowler yesterday. Here is Josh’s tongue from Nottinghamshire:
“Every time I bowl, I feel like I’m getting better. I’ve had a really good winter this season. If I put an over on me, I put my body robustness in the bowl in a long spell is what I’m aiming for.
“The pace is there and now it’s about leading that consistency to my line and length. That’s how the more I bowl, the more I feel like I get it.”
preamble
Good morning from London Where the runners are out, the trees of the planes, which are so many runners, droop heavy on the Taymen stairs, stopping eager tourists.
This is the second day of this fourth round, with five games being played. What’s noteworthy is that Gloucestershire and Nottinghamshire want to push their advantages, and have the opportunity to see what this big bad Surry batting lineup can do with the oval.
Play begins at 11am. Please participate.
