Tuesday's round-up

Leicestershire dropped the form book in a puddle, tumbling to an innings defeat in three days. After Middlesex had flayed 534, Leicestershire collapsed to 204 and then 202, despite some stoical tail wagging. Naavya Sharma and Noah Cornwell, 19 and 20 and playing in only their third first-class games, finished with six and four wickets in the match.

Yorkshire’s Matthew Revis and Ben Coad bashed their highest first-class scores, turning the game on its head at York. Coad then grabbed two Essex second-innings wickets to set up an intriguing final day. Tom Taylor tickled Worcestershire towards victory over Hampshire while James Coles’ 150 and six wickets for Warwickshire off-spinner Corey Rocchiccioli enlivened a hot day against Sussex at Hove.

Dan Worrall’s new ball brilliance gave Surrey a sniff of a chance against Durham, despite Alex Lees’ 125; Lancashire are on the brink of their first victory after a wonderful century from Ashton Turner against Derbyshire.

Ben Kellaway and Colin Ingram, ingenu and veteran, made twin hundreds for Glamorgan against Gloucestershire as events at Sophia Gardens drifted towards a draw.

There were four hundreds for Northamptonshire at Canterbury – for Ricardo Vasconcelos, Justin Broad, Saif Zaib and Calvin Harrison. Zaib’s unbeaten 150 was his fifth hundred of a prolific season, while Harrison continued his campaign to become loan signing of the year.

Jack Leach toiled through 53 overs for Somerset, finishing with six for 121 as leaders Nottinghamshire built a lead of 130. The main architects were Jack Haynes (157) and Indian IPL star Ishan Kishan with a sparky 77. Somerset had one over to face before stumps, and nightwatchman Matt Henry chopped the final ball into his stumps.
