Tribe ton boosts Glamorgan at Leicestershire
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, Uptonsteel County Ground, Leicester (day one) Glamorgan 305-5 (96 overs): Tribe 107, Ingram 56*; Van Beek 2-66 Leicestershire: Yet to bat Leicestershire 1 pt, Glamorgan 2 pts Advertisement Match scorecard Asa Tribe hit a maiden first-class century for Glamorgan as they reached a solid 305-5 on a mostly slow-scoring day against Leicestershire. The 21-year-old Jersey batter hit 14 fours and a six in his 107 as he led Glamorgan's efforts in the first two sessions. Leicestershire's seamers put the brakes on in the second half of the day as the Kookaburra ball, being used for the first time in this county season, proved tough to get away. All the Glamorgan top order got starts, but Colin Ingram was the only other batter to pass 50. Logan van Beek, with two for 66, was the most successful Foxes bowler. Advertisement The in-form opponents made changes from their pre-T20 Blast Championship outings with Liam Trevaskis, Chris Wright and Sam Wood coming in for the Foxes while Glamorgan recalled Ingram, Ben Kellaway, Ned Leonard and Mason Crane -the leg spinner having his first red-ball outing of the season. Tribe started brightly with a string of boundaries while Zain Ul Hassan began cautiously before upping his own scoring rate. The pair added 98 before veteran Wright, in his second spell, had Ul Hassan caught behind down leg-side for 36, skipper Peter Handscomb wearing the gloves after leaving out specialist keeper Ben Cox. But the afternoon session had a very different feel as Leicestershire tightened their lines with the older Kookaburra ball to see scoring rates drop. Advertisement Sam Northeast started carefully and reached 21 before being given out caught behind hooking at Wood, though the ball appeared to have come off his helmet. Tribe was dropped behind off Ben Green on 76 before working his way responsibly towards three figures off 158 balls, reaching the landmark when he turned Liam Trevaskis to square leg for a couple. But Logan van Beek found the edge of his bat soon afterwards and Hansdcomb took a third catch. Tribe's dismissal saw the game drop into a lower gear as the normally attacking pair of Kiran Carlson and Colin Ingram added 60 at just over three an over before Carlson was yorked by left-arm spinner Liam Trevaskis for 43. Advertisement The Foxes strangely opted to use occasional spinner Rishi Patel to bowl for the first time in the Championship as they delayed taking the new ball for four overs. Van Beek got a reward from the new cherry as Ben Kellaway was trapped lbw for 25 to keep the Foxes in the hunt, before Ingram reached a half-century with few flashes of his trademark aggression to keep Glamorgan slightly on top.

'Wheels not off' after first Leics loss
Leicestershire's first defeat of the season will not trigger panic, says Foxes all-rounder Logan van five-wicket T20 Blast loss to Northants Steelbacks came two days after the County Championship Division Two leaders opened their white-ball campaign with victory against East Midlands rivals wickets lost in the first over and an early batting collapse had Leicestershire at 39-7 and staring at the prospect of setting a club-record low total in the competition.A knock of 42 from Van Beek helped then to 122 all out, and while they had Northants 75-4 in the 14th over, Ravi Bopara's unbeaten 46 off 40 balls took them home with four balls to spare."We just had a terrible start, and that doesn't mean the wheels have fallen off or anything like that," Van Beek told BBC Radio Leicester."We just have to acknowledge it. We had a bad start, that was it. We now have another game in two days' time, so let's click into that." Van Beek says the early difficulties at Wantage Road did nothing to diminish the new levels of confidence the side has found in the opening months of the coach Alfonso Thomas has spoken in recent weeks about how it has taken "baby steps" to lift Leicestershire out of the County Championship doldrums to the top of the Division Two five victories in seven matches leading up to the start of the T20 campaign is as many wins as they managed in the second tier of the red-ball game between 2019 and 2024."Even in this situation, because we have been winning you kind of have a bit of an instinct that 'all right we can pull this out of the fire here'," Van Beek said."You have a good feeling going into games and a good feeling going into situations knowing you are winning and have the momentum."Leicestershire are next in action on Wednesday at Old Trafford where they face North Group leaders Lancashire Lightning, who have won all three of their T20 matches.

Leaders Leicestershire thrash lacklustre Lancashire
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, Uptonsteel County Ground, Leicester (day three)Lancashire 206 & 248: Jennings 112; Van Beek 4-61Leicestershire 457: Ahmed 136, Hill 119, Holland 50; Balderson 3-106Leicestershire (24pts) beat Lancashire (3pts) by an innings and three runsMatch scorecard Leicestershire's remarkable season continued apace with victory over Lancashire by an innings and three runs to further reinforce an already formidable lead in Division Two of the County a 251-run advantage on first innings, brought about largely by centuries from Rehan Ahmed and Lewis Hill, they bowled Lancashire out for 248 to complete a fifth win of the season, all of which have been achieved with a day to Jennings, who stepped down as Red Rose captain earlier this month in the light of his side's woeful start to the campaign, gave his side hope of salvaging something with a characterful 112, but no other batter made more than 26 in another dismal performance from the winless van Beek was Leicestershire's most successful bowler with 4-61 and there were two wickets each for Josh Hull, Tom Scriven and watched Leicestershire progress merrily through Saturday at 4.23 runs per over compared with their own 2.65 on day one, Lancashire might have imagined runs would come more easily to them on day three, yet it took 29 overs to trim 74 off their deficit in the first more, they lost three wickets in doing so, including perhaps critically that of their leading scorer and principal hope of avoiding defeat here, Marcus Australian perished in the penultimate over before lunch as captain Peter Handscomb repeated his first-day tactic of bringing back his new-ball bowlers for a pre-interval burst. It brought success then and it did again as Harris flashed at a ball outside off stump to be caught behind for provided a third wicket of the morning for Van Beek, who had been 2-9 from six overs after his first spell, having dismissed Luke Wells and Josh Bohannon in the space of three deployed an uppercut to lift a short delivery over the slip cordon but did not control the shot and Lewis Hill, with a gusty crosswind adding an extra element of difficulty, took a well-judged catch at wide third man. Bohannon then edged to second slip for a second-ball the collapse sparked by Van Beek's breakthrough before lunch on day one was not repeated, thanks largely to Jennings, who showed the strength of his character in a difficult season to guide Lancashire to 209-5 at tea thanks to the 32nd first-class hundred of his career, his 16th for his current was doubtless not the most fluid among them on a pitch starting to produce variable bounce, and he survived a chance on 58 when a diving Ben Cox could not get his gloves around a flick down the legside off Hull, but it kept his side in the finding support from Matty Hurst, who was caught behind off a fine delivery by Scriven, in adding 70 for the fourth wicket, Jennings reached the milestone as a meaty pull off Van Beek brought him a 10th fifth wicket added a further 58, although George Bell's dismissal off a top-edged pull just before tea detracted a touch from what had otherwise been a solid session for the visitors, who were still 42 behind at the breakthrough Leicestershire craved was not far away, Jennings falling seven overs into the evening session, his demise brought about by a ball that reared up off a length from Scriven and caught the batter's right glove, Handscomb taking an excellent catch at that, Lancashire's downfall came about at pace. Hull brought one back to bowl George Balderson and Ahmed's leg spin came into the game to have Tom Bailey caught behind, with the England all-rounder following up by trapping Anderson Phillip leg then took a splendid catch on the run off his own bowling to remove Tom Hartley and spark Leicestershire's celebrations in a season in which promotion already looks theirs to lose with the Championship season only at the halfway supplied by ECB Reporters' Network, supported by Rothesay
