Dan Lawrence hits unbeaten ton as Surrey earn six-wicket win against Glamorgan

Batting at number five, Lawrence was unbeaten on 120 – he hit five sixes and 12 fours – to help Surrey close on 224 for four in pursuit of Glamorgan's 222 for six, with five balls to spare.
Glamorgan pair Colin Ingram (69) and Asa Tribe (56) had both made quick-fire half-centuries for the visitors, but Lawrence, who was undefeated after facing 54 balls, sealed Surrey's win with a straight six.
WHAT A WIN! 📈
Dan Lawrence (120*) and Tom Curran (49*) take us home with a ridiculous 146-run unbeaten partnership. 💥
Some team.

Home on the range? Now Andy Murray's playing golf in the house!

Sir has taken his obsession with his new favourite sport to another level by having a golf simulator fitted in his home, his mother has disclosed. The Scot swapped his racquet for a set of clubs after his retirement from tennis and changed his profile description on X to 'I played tennis. I now play golf'. He is now aiming to become a scratch golfer, having reduced his handicap from seven to two in a matter of months. The 38-year-old has had a hi-tech simulator installed in his mansion in Surrey so he can practise his swing at all hours of the day and in all weathers. His mother Judy, 65, who has also taken up golf, said he needed something to keep his competitive streak flowing after retiring from tennis last summer. On the How to be 60 podcast, she said: 'Andy didn't play so much golf when he was younger, it was more football and tennis. 'Since he retired last summer he has really got into golf. His handicap is already two which is so annoying that somebody could get so good so quickly. 'He has almost swapped the tennis training and the tennis competition for golf. 'He has even put a simulator in his house. I can just imagine him down there, he videos himself and puts all these little apps and lines and things through it. 'He has truly got obsessed and I think it's a great thing because I did worry that when he retired from tennis he would miss the routine and the discipline of the daily training. This fills what could have been a big void for him.' She added: 'I asked him last week what his handicap was and he said 'Two' but sounded p***** off. I said 'What do you mean' and he said 'Well, I was 1.7 last week'.' Sir Andy has also been getting tips from football legend Gareth Bale on how to improve his game. During his time at Real Madrid, the Welshman, 36, earned the nickname 'The Golfer' and was even mocked by his own supporters for his golf obsession. Three-time Grand Slam champion Sir Andy retired after competing for Team GB at the Paris Olympics last summer. There are numerous golf simulators on the market with prices varying from just under £100 for a basic set-up to a staggering £65,999.

They were further rocked when Nat Wraith stumped Alice Capsey off Hannah Baker to leave them Dunkley got Surrey back on course with three boundaries from Millie Taylor's opening over and a six off Baker in the Dunkley was out to a smart piece of work behind the stumps from Wraith, Grace Harris took up the baton to play the match-defining innings, charging to her half-century at a strike rate of 200 and seeing her side home to claim the trophy.

East tennis teams surpass expectations

Mission accomplished and a bit more besides has to be the verdict on the East women and men's tennis teams after another Summer County Cup brought together teams from up and down the UK. East women surpassed themselves as a side promoted the previous year by climbing higher up the scale into Division Two for 2026. As for the men it was no secret that they could struggle into Division One shorn of several key players but the squad dug deep and not only finished third but could have actually taken the title on the final day had Surrey opponents not proved too strong. So, with wins over North Wales, Essex, Norfolk and Lincolnshire the East women go up again, their only defeat this year coming against Warwickshire on the Cheltenham courts. Leading performers were Mhairi Beattie (10 sets won out of 13 played), Hanna Augustynska (9-11) and Sarah McFadyen (9-14). Key was winning a series of tight matches by five ties to four. Victories over North Scotland, Northamptonshire and South Wales while losing to Warwickshire and Surrey meant the men will return to Division One next year and if American based pro's Jake Fearnley and Matt Rankin were to become available that would boost their chances hugely. Top individual performers on the Eastbourne grass were James MacKinlay (12-15) and Scott Duncan (11-15). The East women's squad is pictured aas, back row, left to right – Mhairi BeBeattie, Eva Vrhunec, Heather Croll, Shaylin Holt. Front – Hanna Augustynska, Aaadya, Iyer Chadalawada, Ama Nisbet. Men – left to right – Jamie Hunter, Lance Nisbet, James MacKinlay, Euan McIntosh, Rhys Watters, Sam MacNeil,Scott Duncan. Absent – Alan Macdonald. Like this: Like Related
