Key occasions
It was once a excellent day for possible England bowlers the previous day. Here is Nottinghamshire’s Josh Tongue:
“I feel like I’m getting better each time I’m bowling. I had a very good winter going into this season. Getting the overs into me, getting that robustness in the body to bowl long spells, is what I’m aiming for.
“The pace is there and it is just now about getting that consistency into my lines and lengths and it feels like the more times I’m bowling, the more I’m getting that.”
Preamble
Good morning from London, the place the runners are out, such a lot of runners, airplane bushes dangle heavy over the Thames and keen vacationers perch at the steps of Tate Britain.
It’s day two of this fourth spherical, with 5 video games in play. Lots to appear out for – with Gloucestershire and Nottinghamshire desperate to press their benefit, and an opportunity to look what this giant unhealthy Surrey batting line up can do at The Oval.
Play begins at 11am, do sign up for us.
Friday’s roundup
Gus Atkinson had the Surrey devoted purring at the day he was once given his county cap. With his tiptoeing, tightrope means and tightly knit palms, he made the ball spit like an overheated wok towards Somerset. In his first over he hit Sean Dickson at the hand, who retired harm, and later got rid of a softened-up Archie Vaughan, did James Rew for tempo and greeted Kasey Aldridge with a missile at his neck. Jordan Clark, all muscle to Atkinson’s venom, did many of the leisure, selecting up 5 wickets, together with two in two balls. Some oomplah from Lewis Gregory took Somerset to a primary batting level and past.
A chain of accidents had left Durham taking a look in the back of the refrigerator for speedy bowlers. But their makeshift seam assault made mincemeat of Worcestershire, who had been whistled out for 162. Jake Ball, arriving on a two-match mortgage from Somerset, celebrated with 5 for 47, whilst quickfire South African Codi Yusuf (signed at the advice of David Bedingham) ran in at complete pelt, picked up two wickets, and nervous a couple of extra. Durham then misplaced 4 fast wickets of their very own.
Josh Tongue fizzed like magnesium at Trent Bridge. Regularly hitting the prime 80s, with a gravelly yorker, he pocketed 5 wickets, 3 of them in a single over, as Sussex had been disregarded for 169. It was once his 2d five-fer of the season; Brett Hutton grabbed 4 for 53. Captain Haseeb Hameed ticked alongside to 67 now not out in Nottinghamshire’s answer.
There was once every other hulking England hopeful in motion at Bristol, the place Leicestershire’s Josh Hull pinned giant Cameron Green lbw, however Gloucestershire had been principally undone by means of 5 wickets from Ben Green, every other Somerset loanee. James Bracey’s unbeaten 93 took Leicestershire previous 250, earlier than Gloucestershire encountered batting issues of their very own.
David Lloyd (93) and Harry Came (73) ensured that Derbyshire had a moderately serene day towards Middlesex.
