Key occasions
You need to really feel sympathy for a workforce when no longer most effective are the wheels bouncing down the street, however the chassis fell off on the roundabout. Poor Keaton Jennings should be operating out of items to mention.
“The disappointing thing for me is we’ve had four, five, six, seven opportunities in the game to win it and we squandered all those opportunities. They lost three or four wickets and they’ve got away from us in both innings.
“It’s massively concerning and emotions aside, it’s just not good enough. Today we’ve been 116 for two and we get bowled out 50 runs later.
“I’ve got to ask questions of myself, the way we were going about bowling to the tail – are the decisions taken at that time the right ones? Obviously not, because the game judges you – it spits out at you what is deserved.”
Virat Kohli retires from Test cricket
For the entire fireplace and fury, Kohli did extra to stay Test cricket alive all the way through the decade than any individual else. A wonderful few sentences:
“There’s something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever. As I step away from this format, it’s not easy – but it feels right. I’ve given it everything I had, and it’s given me back so much more than I could’ve hoped for.”
Sunday’s round-up
A 14-wicket day at Trent Bridge as Hampshire had been steam‑rollered to a 366-run defeat. Liam Patterson‑White and Jack Haynes ruled the morning consultation with centuries, and Hampshire had been set 483 to win, or 4 and just a little periods to bat. It wasn’t to be.
Seven wickets fell after tea as Hampshire had been whistled out for 116 of their 2d innings, the highest scorer No 11 Sonny Baker, with 27. Lyndon James grabbed 5 wickets, Brett Hutton 4 – there was once most effective time for Mohammad Abbas so as to add two catches to his first‑innings five-fer in opposition to his previous workforce. The Nottinghamshire juggernaut steams on, 3 wins within the bag, firebox ablaze.
There was once bouncing satisfaction for the cherry-red caps of Northamptonshire, after snatching a 70-run victory in opposition to Lancashire. It was once virtually 20 years in the past that they final beat Lancashire, courtesy of Jason Brown’s 10 wickets and 147 from Usman Afzaal. This time, the an important intervention got here from on-loan leg‑spinner Calvin Harrison, who has an urge for food for red-rose batters. With Lancashire apparently cruising to their goal of 236, he had Marcus Harris stumped and Josh Bohannon lbw – which triggered a cave in of 7 for 28 runs.
Earlier, Ben Sanderson had given Northamptonshire one thing to bowl at when he crashed 65 from 28 balls. The win was once the primary beneath Darren Lehmann’s tenure; Lancashire, preseason favourites for promotion, slip to the ground of Division Two.
At Canterbury, Kent had been bowled out for 176 after following on – a spanking via an innings and 161 runs and Glamorgan’s first win of the season. Chris Benjamin was once stranded six runs in need of a maiden Kent century within the first innings, and 3 wickets each and every from Asitha Fernando and Timm van der Gugten quickly sliced thru the second one – all out in fewer than 50 overs. There had been company phrases from Adam Hollioake: “I wasn’t here last year but I heard about it so we’re not just going to start sulking and feeling sorry for ourselves.”
Despite an unbeaten 85 from Ben Foakes, Surrey are suffering at Edgbaston after Warwickshire diminished them to 369 for 9, 296 runs in need of the follow-on. Three wonder wickets from Rob Yates and two from the fast Che Simmons gave existence to the general day.
Worcestershire want 244 to win at Hove, however the pressure is with Sussex when they got rid of Henry Nicholls simply earlier than the shut; 185 from Adam Lyth put Yorkshire on best at Chelmsford.
