The final round of the Vitality County Championship still had a few things to settle, but the weather meant that some of the potential drama ebbed away. To stay up, Lancashire needed to win and hope that they could overhaul Nottinghamshire. Only 26 overs of play were possible in the first two days at Worcester, where the home side were put in to bat. Worcestershire were reduced to 56 for seven, but recovered to 180 all out, despite Anderson Phillip taking five for 65. Lancashire needed to pil...| Hachette UK
By the final day of the penultimate round, all attention was focused on Old Trafford, where defeat for Somerset would hand the title to Surrey, while defeat for Lancashire would mean relegation to the Second Division – an ultimate high-stakes match. Lancashire, put in to bat, had folded to 140 all out in just 40 overs on the first day, but then struck back with similar force to dismiss the visitors for only 146, and there was still time for a first second-innings wicket to fall before the e...| Hachette UK

The top-of-the-table clash between champions Surrey and Somerset at Taunton more than lived up to its billing in a dramatic match that left all to play for with two games remaining in the Vitality County Championship. Surrey had a comfortable lead in the title race and a weather forecast that suggested it might be tricky to get a full four days of play, so they knew a draw would suit them perfectly. To reinforce their chances, they brought in Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib al Hasan to make his...| Hachette UK

For the third Test, at The Oval, England looked to complete a clean sweep for the summer, winning six out of six Tests. They made just one change from Lord’s giving a debut to 6’7” Josh Hull of Leicestershire, who came in for Matthew Potts.

After a three-week break to accommodate The Hundred, England returned to Test cricket, with Sri Lanka the new opposition at Old Trafford. In their warm-up game against an inexperienced England Lions side featuring two players making their first-class debuts, the tourists had lost by seven wickets, which did not bode well for their chances. However, England were missing two key players through injury. Zak Crawley’s finger injury in the last Test meant he was replaced at the top of the order ...| Hachette UK
After a gap dating back to 3 July, the Vitality County Championship returned, to the relief of many who felt that a seven-week pause at the height of the summer was too long. But the break in the season had done nothing to slow down Surrey’s relentless march towards a third successive champions’ pennant. If they achieve the hat-trick, they will become the first side to do this since Yorkshire in 1966-68, as they evolve into the cricketing equivalent of Manchester City.

After England’s series-clinching win at Trent Bridge, the selectors went for an unchanged side at Edgbaston, though some felt it might have been an opportunity to give Dillon Pennington a run-out. West Indies, on the other hand, made one change to their side, leaving out Kevin Sinclair (with a fractured forearm) and bringing back Gudakesh Motie, after he recovered being unwell for the second Test. Kraigg Brathwaite won the toss and chose to bat on what looked like a good batting day. Bra...| Hachette UK

The post-Anderson era began at Trent Bridge, where the West Indies were desperate to improve on their efforts at Lord’s – in truth, it would have been hard for them to do worse. Unsurprisingly, England made only one change to their line-up, with Mark Wood coming in for Jimmy Anderson – it was the first home Test since 2012 that neither Anderson nor Stuart Broad had played (though the latter had the honour of the Pavilion End being named after him at his home ground). For the West Indies...| Hachette UK
England’s home summer of cricket began with the first Rothesay Test at Lord’s, with the West Indies looking to overturn a winless run at the Home of Cricket dating back to 1988. For the home side, there were two debutants, as Jamie Smith of Surrey was chosen as wicket-keeper, ahead of both Jonny Bairstow and Smith’s county team-mate Ben Foakes. Ironically, Foakes is Surrey’s first-choice keeper, but it is Smith’s prolific form with the bat, and the speed at which he scores, that gav...| Hachette UK
The Day County Championship Cricket Proved Unbeatable There was little doubt which ground was the centre of attention for most – and it wasn’t the one that saw the top two face each other for the first time this summer.

Haseeb Hameed made the fans wait by choos...| Hachette UK
After a break of four weeks for the Vitality Blast, league-leaders and champions Surrey had had plenty of time to recover from their terrible defeat at the end of May. A trip to Worcester was probably just the tonic they needed, and when they were asked to bat they took full advantage, though not before skipper Rory Burns was dismissed in the first over. Dan Lawrence, with a career-best 175, was the focal point of an innings of 490 all out, despite the best efforts of loanee Shoaib Bashir, th...| Hachette UK

As the Vitality County Championship reached its midway point before the end of May, Surrey went into their fixture at the Rose Bowl full of confidence off the back of four consecutive wins (including an innings win over these same opponents last month), looking to reinforce their stranglehold on the title.

While the seventh round of the Vitality County Championship may have produced many close-fought, tense outcomes, that was not the case at The Oval, where Worcestershire chose to field first and quickfire 84 from Dan Lawrence was vital to see Surrey up to a total of 213. It proved more than enough as Dan Worrall took Championship-best figures of six for 22 to dismiss the visitors for 128. With a lead of 85 to give them comfort, many of the home batters chipped in during their second innings, w...| Hachette UK

For the sixth round of the Vitality County Championship, attention inevitably focused on Canterbury, where Worcestershire were the visitors, still rocked by the tragically early death of Josh Baker. In tribute, the Worcestershire shirts now carry the number 33 (Baker’s squad number) under the county badge. At all matches this week, there was a minute’s silence held in Baker’s memory before the action commenced. Brett D’Oliveira chose to bat first and his side went on to make full u...| Hachette UK
There were just seven fixtures scheduled for the fourth round of the Vitality County Championship, and again the weather played a considerable role in many of the games – this April has certainly raised more questions than usual about starting the season this early. As recently as 2018, the first Championship game did not start until 13 April, but 30 years ago it was as late as 28 April. But it would be a mistake to draw too many conclusions from one wet start to the season. Champions Su...| Hachette UK
Events on the pitch this week were completely overshadowed by the sad news from Worcestershire that their spin bowler Josh Baker had died, just a few days short of his 21st birthday. Baker, who last season scored the runs that secured his team promotion back to Division One, was a popular figure within the camp and the news left followers of the game stunned. He’d been playing for the county second XI at Bromsgrove, and on his final day of action had picked up the wickets of Thomas Rew, Jos...| Hachette UK

With the Dukes ball available to their bowlers, Essex had no hesitation in asking Lancashire to bat at Chelmsford. The only side to have won a match in the first two rounds immediately showed why they will be formidable challengers for the title this summer. Only a quickfire 32 not out from Will Williams helped the visitors up to a meagre total of 146, with Shane Snater doing most of the early damage, picking up four for 42. Noah Thain took his first Championship wicket (Tom Bailey). Feroze K...| Hachette UK

The second round of the Vitality County Championship saw some heavy scoring, as the batters made the most of facing the Kookaburra ball. Sadly, on the final day, the weather turned and some intriguingly balanced matches petered out in draws.

Dean Elgar made his maiden century for his new county before Matt Critchley produced a career-best 151 not out as the hosts piled up a h...| Hachette UK
After one of the wettest winters on record, it was no surprise that four of the nine Vitality County Championship fixtures failed to yield any play on the first day, but at least the competition could welcome a new sponsor, replacing London Victoria. One game that did get underway soon enough was at Trent Bridge, where Essex were put in to bat. Dane Paterson picked up the first five-wicket haul of the season as the visitors were dismissed for 253, despite a solid 80 from new signing Dean Elga...| Hachette UK
In this year’s Foreword, I commented that bowlers seemed to have bowled fewer maidens in 2023 than in 2022 – without fully checking that the facts supported my assertion. But now I can confirm that this was correct, at least as far as Division One went. So why might this have been? Tallying up the bowling figures for the eight counties that played in both seasons, so we’re comparing like with like, we find a few noticeable changes. First of all, there were just 2907 maidens bowled be...| Hachette UK

For title contenders Essex and Surrey, the season did not end on the pitch as either would have hoped, yet it was favourites and holders Surrey who emerged triumphant in the end, finishing 20 points clear of their nearest rivals.
