Essex must win at Surrey to stand any chance of a place in quarter-finals

ECB Reporters Network30-Jun-2023Middlesex 226 for 8 (Higgins 61, Critchley 5-28) beat Essex 225 for 6 (Sams 69*) by two wicketsRyan Higgins led Middlesex to a second unlikely victory in three Vitality Blast matches to leave Essex’s hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage hanging by a thread.The Middlesex all-rounder’s 61 was plundered off just 24 balls and included three sixes and eight fours. It laid the foundations for a chase after 226 runs only surpassed by their record 253 to beat Surrey last week.Even Matt Critchley’s career-best 5 for 28 could not prevent Middlesex reaching their target with two balls to spare for only their second win of the season.Essex now head to The Oval on Sunday where they must beat Surrey to stand any chance of a place in next week’s quarter-finals.Essex owed their 225 for 6 to a splendid 69 off 34 balls from all-rounder Daniel Sams that included six sixes. Essex’s innings yielded 16 sixes, during which Sams, Michael Pepper (32) and Paul Walter (45) all passed 300 runs in this year’s competition.Essex, put in, typically lost three wickets in the powerplay while creeping along to 52 runs. It was the calm before the storm. Feroze Khushi was first to go taking a swing at Ethan Bamber and picking out deep mid-off.Adam Rossington, returning after a finger injury, hit two sixes, one ramped off Tom Helm, before edging behind for 19 off 13 balls.Dan Lawrence completed the trio of early wickets when he retreated towards square leg against Josh De Caires and found himself stretching in vain as the ball thudded into his stumps. Lawrence showed his anger with himself by kicking furiously at the blameless crease.However, the run-rate accelerated once Walter joined Pepper and the pair put on 36 inside four overs. Pepper hammered six fours and a six into the pavilion in a 20-ball knock before he leaned back and slashed Martin Andersson to backward point.Walter, who had recorded single-figure scores in his previous two innings, was back to big-hitting form. The second of the quartet of sixes was the longest, clearing the scorers’ box over de Caires’s head. He perished when slicing Luke Hollman to cover point.Sams slipped almost seamlessly into Walter’s boots and battered 43 of the runs in a fifty partnership for the sixth wicket, in which Matt Critchley contributed three. However, Critchley still hit three sixes in an 18-ball 36 before he was caught by Joe Cracknell sliding in from the midwicket boundary. The pair had shared a stand of 79 in six overs.Sams’s eyes lit up in the final over in which Andersson conceded 26 runs, including three sixes, two off the last two balls, the first over fine leg, the second over third man.The ubiquitous Sams was back on the scorecard when he held a pull from Stevie Eskinazi on the boundary to give Aaron Beard a wicket as Middlesex got off to a steady start in reply. He was in the same position to take the catch that ended Max Holden’s whirlwind 15 off five balls during which 32 runs were compiled from just nine balls in partnership with Higgins.Before that, Cracknell was dropped by Rossington on four and added six, four and a six in his 36 before misreading Critchley and seeing his bails dislodged.Higgins reached his fifty from 20 balls with his third six, swept off Walter, but eventually fell when he pulled Critchley straight into Beard’s hands on the midwicket fence.The third and fourth wickets, with Higgins at the helm, accumulated 78 runs off 24 balls. But three wickets in seven balls turned the tide back in Essex’s favour as Middlesex slide from 173 for 4 to 175 for 7. Sams tempted John Simpson in pick out short midwicket and Critchley had Hollman caught by Beard at mid-on and Alex Davies leg before.Middlesex needed nine off the last over with two wickets standing but a six by Andersson off Walter’s third ball all but wrapped it up.

Holder, Joseph, Paul and Hosein ran through Nepal despite a poor fielding display by West Indies

Danyal Rasool22-Jun-2023Centuries from Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran saw West Indies post 339 and demolish Nepal by 101 runs to shore up their Super Six hopes. After early wobbles, Hope and Pooran combined for a 216-run partnership for the fourth wicket, scoring 132 and 115 respectively as West Indies registered the highest score of the tournament. Nepal were never in the chase despite extensive sloppiness in the field from West Indies, and wickets for Jason Holder, Keemo Paul and Akeal Hosein helped them bowl Nepal out for 238.Nepal won the toss and Rohit Paudel elected to field first, a trend that has seen most sides be successful in these qualifiers. It seemed to pay off immediately with his side enjoying the better of the first ten overs. Karan KC and Gulshan Jha removed Kyle Mayers and Johnson Charles within the first five overs to leave them two wickets down for nine. Sandeep Lamichhane – much improved from the first two games, also got his first wicket of the tournament when he cleaned up Brandon King with a googly shortly after.That brought Pooran and Hope together, but a costly drop when Pooran had just scored three by keeper Aasif Sheikh would prove to be a real sliding doors moment. Pooran smacked one six each off Lalit Rajbanshi and Lamichhane immediately after as West Indies began to move through the gears, and Hope joined in on the aggression. He would soon bring up his half-century, before Pooran reached his at a much quicker clip off 51 balls. By now, West Indies were 162 for three with a third of the innings set to go, beautifully set up for the finish.Related

It was a platform they took advantage of, with Pooran throwing caution to the wind thereafter as Hope played second-fiddle, willing to be a spectator to the fireworks. Jha was tonked for 15 in an over and Karan for 12, and it even appeared as if Pooran might beat Hope to three figures. In the end, they both got there in the 40th over, Hope easing to it with a brace while Pooran carved a boundary behind point to bring his up in 81 balls.West Indies had a free rein in the final ten overs, through which they’d contribute 98, helped by cameos from Rovman Powell and Holder, giving Nepal 340 to get their first points on the board.Shai Hope celebrates his 15th ODI century•ICC via Getty Images

It was an overwhelming ask, and Nepal almost seemed to treat the target as a suggestion rather than a goal. Early wickets for Joseph and Holder didn’t help as Nepal went back into their shell. But they continued to lose wickets as the run rate climbed, despite the profligacy of the West Indian fielding, which bordered on the uninterested at times. There were at least seven catches put down all innings, as well as a number of misfields that could be put down to lackadaisical efforts.But, true to West Indies form, it was interspersed with moments of divine brilliance in the field. A catch on the boundary by Keacy Carty was the pick of the lot, leaping over the rope before coming back in to complete a perfectly executed catch to dismiss Kushal Malla. A sharp grab by Roston Chase sent Dipendra Airee packing too, and by now, Nepal had long been nudged out of the contest, tottering on the brink of a colossal defeat at 128 for six.Aarif Sheikh hung around with the lower order, scoring a spirited half-century to ensure his side put up a respectable total. Nepal crossed 200 and ensured they took the game to the final over thanks to Karan, who played his shots as West Indies went through the motions. It was a successful effort, of sorts, to delay an outcome that had been obvious for at least a couple of hours, as West Indies shook hands on their second successive win.

Shorna Akter, Marufa Akter and Salma Khatun also included for the three-match series which will run from July 16 to 22

Mohammad Isam13-Jul-2023Bangladesh have brought back Sharmin Akhter into the ODI squad for the three-match series against India, which gets underway on July 16 in Dhaka.The other inclusions in the 17-member squad were of Shorna Akter, Marufa Akter and Salma Khatun, a veteran of 46 ODIs. The trio were part of the three-match T20I series, which Bangladesh lost by a 2-1 margin. Salma only played the opening game, while Marufa and Shorna were picked for all three outings. Sharmin, meanwhile last played international cricket during Bangladesh’s tour to New Zealand in December 2022.Shorna, who is yet to make her ODI debut, scored an unbeaten run-a-ball 28 in the first T20I against India but failed to get going in the second and third games. Marufa, who has played three ODIs but is yet to take a wicket, was mostly economical in her bowling efforts on spin-friendly tracks.There was no place for fast bowlers Jahanara Alam and Fariha Trisna, as well as wicketkeeper-batter Rubya Haider. Jahanara continues to be overlooked and the reasons continue to remain unclear. She has an economy rate of 4.26 in ODIs and has picked up 48 wickets in 52 games.The ODIs between Bangladesh and India will be played on July 16, 19 and 22 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, the same venue as the three T20Is.Bangladesh squad: Nigar Sultana (capt & wk), Nahida Akter (vice-capt), Murshida Khatun, Fargana Hoque, Sobhana Mostary, Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Lata Mondal, Disha Biswas, Marufa Akter, Sharmin Akhter, Sanjida Akter, Rabeya Khan, Sultana Khatun, Salma Khatun, Fahima Khatun, Shamima Sultana

Balderson’s second first-class hundred has Lancashire eyeing innings victory after posting 524

ECB Reporters Network05-Sep-2023George Balderson scored a superb 115, his second Championship century, as Lancashire assumed complete dominance over Northamptonshire on day three of this LV= Insurance County Championship match.The innings continues an excellent breakout season for Balderson, who scored his maiden ton against Warwickshire in July and is currently averaging in the mid-sixties in red ball cricket.With a destructive Tom Bailey blasting 77 off just 75 balls, Lancashire closed on 524, their highest-ever score at Wantage Road, breaking a record that had stood for 88 years. It gave the Red Rose an imposing lead of 292 and marked a remarkable comeback spearheaded yesterday by Josh Bohannon’s six-hour 175, with the last four wickets amassing a colossal 335 runs in 83.3 overs.Sam Whiteman, in his final match of the season for Northamptonshire before he returns to Australia, played an assured innings of 54. It was his second half-century of the match, raising faint hopes Northamptonshire could save the game. His 112-ball vigil ended when he played a ball from Will Williams onto his stumps. The hosts finished on 211 for five, still needing another 81 to make Lancashire bat again tomorrow.Lancashire began the day on 392 for seven leading by 160, but soon lost Tom Hartley (28) who edged Jack White to first slip. That brought Balderson (83 not out overnight) together with Bailey in a partnership of 68. Balderson played sweetly off his legs and hit spinner Rob Keogh over deep midwicket for six. He eventually fell caught at midwicket, top-edging a sweep off Keogh. He had faced 234 balls and struck 14 boundaries and one six.Bailey was positive from the outset, but after he was dropped in the deep on 41 and Balderson departed a few balls later, he went on the offensive, smashing a further 35 from just 11 balls. He brought up his half-century with a six over deep midwicket off Taylor and sent the next delivery out of the ground before top-edging over the keeper to take Lancashire past 500. He finished the innings by striking Saif Zaib for consecutive sixes before he was bowled.With Jack Blatherwick injured, Lancashire were a bowler down, but Williams, bowling a nagging line and length, almost had an early breakthrough when Emilio Gay (29) was dropped on two. The opener soon started to find some fluency, playing an exquisite cover drive for four off Bailey and stroking him elegantly through midwicket. Bailey finally won an lbw shout, although the ball appeared to have hit Gay outside the line.Fellow opener Hassan Azad dug in, taking two off-side boundaries off Balderson and clipping Williams through midwicket, but he departed for 30 when George Bell took a good low catch at short leg off left-arm spinner Hartley, who was extracting some sharp turn. Northamptonshire were 82 for three when Williams was finally rewarded after a string of lbw appeals when Luke Procter played to leg and was trapped in front.Whiteman was joined by Keogh in a 50-run stand either side of tea. After the interval, Keogh chanced his arm against Bailey but was rewarded with a flurry of boundaries. But on 29, he prodded uncertainly outside off-stump, Phil Salt taking a regulation slip catch to give Bailey his second wicket and leave the Steelbacks four down on 132.Whiteman was looking increasingly confident, targeting Hartley, driving him through the cover for three boundaries, playing the reverse sweep and coming down the track to hit over long-on before he became Williams’ second victim of the day.Saif Zaib (37*) made a scratchy start, finally finding the boundary when he cut and punched through the off-side. He showed some signs of losing patience but enjoyed moments of luck with one chip off Hartley falling just short of mid-on.Lewis McManus was content to play the anchor role at the other end, facing 65 balls for his 17* in an unbeaten stand of 46 with Zaib to ensure the pair will still be there in the morning.

Somerset batter steps in for Root after Headingley abandonment

Matt Roller21-Sep-2023Jason Roy has turned down the chance to play for England’s second-string side in their ODI series against Ireland, after the “hammer blow” of his last-minute omission from their final World Cup squad.With Joe Root opting to rest for the next week along with his colleagues in the World Cup squad, after his plan to tune up with an innings against Ireland was kiboshed by the Leeds weather, the uncapped Somerset batter Tom Kohler-Cadmore has been drafted into the squad to play Ireland.Roy was named in England’s provisional 15-man squad last month but was not fit enough to feature in their four-match ODI series against New Zealand, suffering back spasms on the mornings of two of the four games. He was replaced in the squad on Sunday by Harry Brook.Luke Wright, England’s national selector, said on Monday that Roy had been given “the option of being involved” against Ireland but clarified that his decision would not influence his status as England’s “batting reserve at the top of the order” for the World Cup, which would see him on standby at home in the event of an injury to Jonny Bairstow or Dawid Malan.”He wasn’t expecting to be in that Ireland squad and then to get the news that he was missing out on the World Cup all came as a bit of a hammer blow,” Wright said. “We’ve made it apparent to Jason that we won’t judge him differently for that position as the spare batter at the top of the order whether he plays against Ireland or not.”Related

Roy signalled before his omission from England’s squad that he is unlikely to play international cricket after the World Cup, anticipating a “changing of the guard” after the tournament. He also said that he would be open to a multi-franchise deal with Kolkata Knight Riders, his IPL franchise, having represented their Major League Cricket affiliate LA Knight Riders earlier this year.England have made clear that they will still consider Roy for selection moving forwards but it appears increasingly likely that he has played his last international innings. He could theoretically leave English cricket entirely, playing in MLC and the Caribbean Premier League rather than the Blast and the Hundred.Root’s decision to rest for the two remaining fixtures in the Ireland series prompted a maiden England call-up for Kohler-Cadmore, who will link up with the squad in Nottingham ahead of Saturday’s second ODI. He is currently playing for Somerset in their County Championship fixture against Kent at Taunton, which is due to finish on Friday.Kohler-Cadmore has impressed across formats in his first season with Somerset, after leaving Yorkshire at the end of last summer. He averaged 34.92 with a strike rate of 160.32 as they won the Blast for the first time since 2005, and is also their second-highest run-scorer in the Championship.”It feels great to have got the England call and hopefully if I get the chance I can show them what I can do,” Kohler-Cadmore said. “Whatever happens, I will enjoy the moment. It’s a special week for me at the end of my first season with Somerset which has seen us win the Vitality Blast. I couldn’t be happier.”In 2019, Kohler-Cadmore was blacklisted from national selection by the ECB after revelations during the trial of his former Worcestershire team-mate Alex Hepburn – who was jailed for rape – about his involvement in a WhatsApp chat with Hepburn and Joe Clarke, described by a judge as “pathetic” and “sexist”.Kohler-Cadmore was never accused of any criminal wrongdoing and returned to the Lions set-up the following winter.

Graham takes three while Carey and Strano pick two wickets apiece to restrict Renegades to 101 before Vilani leads Hurricanes home

AAP and ESPNcricinfo staff19-Nov-2023Hobart Hurricanes remained in the running to play in the WBBL finals after downing Melbourne Renegades by eight wickets for a second straight win.Hurricanes’ bowlers were outstanding on a traditionally good batting surface at the Junction Oval in Melbourne. Heather Graham, who was recently included in Australia’s squad to tour India, Molly Strano and Nicola Carey limited the Renegades to just 101 or 9 after Hurricanes won the toss and elected to field.Graham’s three scalps continued her productive form which has seen her take 13 wickets in her last five matches. Meanwhile, offspinner Strano became the second player to claim 150 WBBL wickets.Only West Indies superstar Hayley Matthews got going for Renegades, hitting 39 as wicketkeeper Josie Dooley was the only other batter to reach double figures. Renegades managed just seven boundaries for their entire innings with four coming from Matthews.Hurricanes had little trouble during the chase, reaching the target with 14 balls to spare. Opener Elyse Villani bounced back from four lean matches with an unbeaten 46, while Carey hit 25 not out to cap off a handy all-round performance.Hurricanes moved up to fifth in the win, one point clear of Sydney Sixers, with two games left. Renegades remained on the bottom of the table, with just two victories.

Top Story: Jadeja razes South Africa for 83 after Kohli scores 49th ODI ton

Virat Kohli gifted himself a record-equalling 49th ODI century and India their eighth successive victory in this World Cup, on his 35th birthday. When Kohli drew level with Sachin Tendulkar, with a punched single in the penultimate over of India’s innings, a crowd of 60,000 at Eden Gardens celebrated with Kohli and made it a memorable birthday bash.Kohli, who walked out to bat in the sixth over after Rohit Sharma had won the toss and challenged India to bat, batted till the end of the innings, lifting India to an above-par 326 for 5. He ended up outscoring South Africa who could manage just 83 in 27.1 overs. Ravindra Jadeja bagged career-best figures of 5 for 33 to wreck South Africa’s chase and consign them to their joint second-lowest total in ODI cricket.Click here for the full report

Match analysis: Kohli soaks up the spotlight so that India can celebrate and shine

The path Virat Kohli chose in Pune was a dangerous one. He possibly didn’t even choose that path but was led down it by KL Rahul. Not the path where he tried to hit sixes to get his 48th hundred even as India were running out of runs to chase. But the one where they started manipulating strike to get him there.India had plenty of overs and wickets in hand, so there was no risk of losing. Let’s also put aside the possible disrespect to the opposition – telling them you are beating them with plenty of time to spare – because there are arguments against that too. It was the attention he was drawing to himself. Telling the whole country, which hangs on to his every word and gesture – that he is so keen to get to No. 50 that he is willing to do something he has never done.Read the full analysis from Sidharth Monga

• Delhi’s poor air quality could force the ICC to cancel the clash between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka with protocols being put in place to monitor the situation right up until game time with points to be shared if no play is possible.
• Moeen Ali says England’s older players perhaps did not see the writing on the wall ahead of the World Cup after losing six of seven matches to be knocked out of the tournament.
• Cameron Green says he has no issues with being left out of Australia’s first-choice XI against Afghanistan as Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell are likely to return after missing the England game.

Finch wants to see Shakib at No. 3

This may not be the must-win scenario either side would have envisioned towards the tail-end of this tournament, but the ICC’s confirmation that the top seven finishers (and hosts Pakistan) will gain qualification for the 2025 Champions Trophy has given what would have been a largely inconsequential game some much needed purpose.Both sides’ troubles are well documented. Since their opening game win against Afghanistan, Bangladesh have lost six on the trot. Only England have a worse record, and Bangladesh have lost to them too. For a side that had won 24 of 39 ODIs since the start of 2021, this has been the most underwhelming of tournaments, especially in conditions that on the face of it looked like it might have suited them.Full previewTeam newsBangladesh (probable): 1 Litton Das, 2 Tanzid Hasan, 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk) 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 7 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 8 Towhid Hridoy , 9 Taskin Ahmed, 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Shoriful Islam.Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Pathum Nissanka, 2 Kusal Perera/Dimuth Karunaratne, 3 Kusal Mendis (capt, wk) 4 Sadeera Samarawickrama, 5 Charith Asalanka, 6 Angelo Mathews 7 Dushan Hemantha 8 Maheesh Theekshana, 9 Kasun Rajitha, 10 Dushmantha Chameera 11 Dilshan Madushanka

A round-up of Abu Dhabi T10 matches on December 1

ESPNcricinfo staff01-Dec-2023Chennai Braves collapsed to 61 in a chase of 127 as Delhi Bulls made it two in two to go to the top of the table.Being put in, Braves lost Quinton de Kock second ball of the innings to Sam Cook. Rilee Rossouw was next to follow, departing for 7 in the second over, following which Johnson Charles and James Vince combined to put up a 67-run stand off 28 balls to lift Bulls to 82 for 3. Junaid Siddique got the breakthrough for Braves, removing Vince in the seventh over, and Charles also departed the next over.Captain Rovman Powell then walked in and scored 35 off 15 to take Bulls to 126 for 6 in 10 overs.In return, Braves’ chase never took off with Bulls bowlers striking regularly. Barring Mohammad Nabi (25 off 14), the rest of the batters finished with single-digit scores. Fazalhaq Farooqi, Ravi Bopara, Naveen-ul-Haq and Muhammad Rohid finished with two wickets each, as they helped wrap Braves up for 61 in 8.5 overs.Akeal Hosein bowled a crucial first over for New York Strikers•Abu Dhabi T10

New York Strikers beat Northern Warriors with five balls to spare despite losing five wickets in the space of 13 balls towards the end of their chase of 89. The result ended Warriors unbeaten run in the Abu Dhabi T10.After choosing to bowl, New York got off to a superb start when West Indian left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein dismissed Kennar Lewis and conceded only five runs in the first over. Warriors were able to score only nine in their two powerplay overs and eventually managed only 88 in ten overs despite losing only three wickets. Hazratullah Zazai was especially slow, scoring only 17 runs off 21 balls.New Zealand’s Colin Munro top-scored for Warriors with 44 off 27 with three sixes and three fours. Sunil Narine bowled two economical overs for New York, finishing with 0 for 11 in two overs. Just when Warriors seemed poised for a powerful finish – Munro and Jimmy Neesham smashed 18 runs off the penultimate over bowled by UAE’s Muhammad Jawadullah – England’s George Scrimshaw shut them down by giving away only six in the tenth over.Muhammad Waseem and Rahmanullah Gurbaz gave New York a quick start to the chase, scoring 38 in 3.4 overs for the first wicket. And though none of the other batters got into double figures, they all scored quickly enough to ensure victory in 9.1 overs. Angelo Mathews, Abhimanyu Mithun and Tabraiz Shamsi took two wickets each for Warriors.Jason Holder picked a wicket first ball for Samp Army after smashing 29 off 10•Abu Dhabi T10

Samp Army 118 for 5 (Holder 29*, du Plessis 29, Janat 29, Mills 2-24) beat Team Abu Dhabi 83 for 8 (Sharafu 18*, Banton 16, Holder 3-12, Moeen 2-4) by 35 runsJason Holder, Faf du Plessis and Karim Janat all raced to scores of 29 to help Samp Army post a daunting total of 118 before Holder and Moeen Ali played the lead roles in ensuring Team Abu Dhabi never got into the chase. The win sees Samp Army go top of the table on NRR.Ibrahim Zadran got Samp Army off to a rapid start, smashing 17 runs off Kyle Mayers’ first over, but Rumman Raees had the opener spoon a catch to mid-off in the next over.Faf du Plessis, who hadn’t faced a single delivery over the first two overs, took off in the third, smashing his compatriot Dwaine Pretorius for 24 runs with the help of three sixes and a four.But there was a slight slowdown as Moeen and du Plessis fell in consecutive overs. Najibullah Zadran also got out, just as Janat started going, but Holder came in and helped Samp Army finish strong.The two added 31 off 14 before Janat got out in the last over. But Holder had more to come for Team Abu Dhabi, smashing three sixes off the last three balls.But Holder was not done dealing the damage yet as he caught Kyle Mayers off his own bowling with the very first delivery of the chase.Team Abu Dhabi lost four wickets in the next three overs and from then on, Samp Army did not offer them a chance to get back in the game.Holder ended up adding two more to his tally, while Moeen had a double-wicket over. Peter Hatzoglou, Qais Ahmad and Salman Irshad all picked a wicket each.
