Nottinghamshire beat Hampshire, Lancashire slump again: county cricket, day four – live

September 11, 2026 · The Guardian

Lancashire suffered another blow in County Championship action as the margin separating the division's lowest two sides decreased to 18 points. Rocky Flintoff, emulating his father's bold batting style, produced an impressive innings of 65 that included a boundary struck off JT Langridge. However, the youngster was caught at long-off on the subsequent delivery to conclude proceedings after a brisk 31 minutes of play. Langridge finished with five wickets in merely his second appearance at first-class level. His bowling colleague Kishore also contributed significantly to the outcome by capturing three dismissals.
