Teen stars but Lancs look Rocky
Manchester Evening News|August 23, 2024
ROCKY Flintoff made a creditable 32 on debut, as Lancashire's youngest first-class cricketer at the age of 16 years and 137 days, but it was champions Surrey who ruthlessly took first day honours at the Kia Oval.
Teen stars but Lancs look Rocky

Put in, Lancashire were bowled out for 204 inside 59 overs, with no one making it to 50, and Surrey then replied with 83 for no wicket before bad light ended play 15.4 overs early.

Skipper Rory Burns is 44 not out, including straight driving George Balderson's medium pace for successive fours, and Dom Sibley remains unbeaten on 37.

Jordan Clark (4 for 57) and Dan Worrall (3 for 31) continued their fine red-ball seasons by spearheading a live-pronged seam attack in which Conor McKerr also took two wickets and Sam Curran one in what was, for both, their first Vitality County Championship appearances ofthe summer.

Matty Hurst, with 46 from 64 balls, played Lancashire's best and most assertive innings, while Balderson's 33 and Iosh Bohannon's 26 were other worthy efforts in seam-friendly overhead and pitch conditions.
