One day cup today
Hants away to Glamorgan. Put into bat. Stumbled at times but finished strongly at 324-6. Gubbins 144 not out from 147 balls
Ben Mayes,17 yo been playing for England U19 this summer, got 74 on his 1st team debut.
16 yo Manny Lumsden, from Basingstoke also debuting. Gets hit for 3 6’s in his first over but takes a wicket with the last ball and another with the 1st ball of his 2nd. Gone for a few runs but looks quick.
Glamorgan 115-5 off 17 overs.
209-7 off 34.3
Carlson still there 95 from 72 but running out of partners
And the youngster Lumsden removes Carlson, who had accelerated to 135.
Glamorgan 250-9 from 39
Home to Essex. We’ve won toss and will bowl. Abbott in for Lumsden, as I suspect Essex have a fairly strong side. Shame though.
Lots of boundaries, but Westley has just been brilliantly caught by Varma for 61.
120-3 off 20.
Essex failed to bat through…
285ao off of 48.3 overs.
PEDANT ALERT!!
49.3 actually.
Hants going well. Watching via the App but there are some commentators I don’t know and they seem to have trained at The Hundred. All hype and giggles and high pitched fake excitement
