But Kohler-Cadmore hit an unbeaten 147, off 196 balls, with 11 fours and six sixes, sharing stands of 96 with James Rew and 114 with Tom Abell, to see Somerset to 238-4 by the time the players shook spinner Liam Patterson-White bowled 29 overs unchanged from the River End either side of lunch and finished with 4-104 from 33 overs, but no other Notts bowler could make a significant impression with the Kookaburra ball on a pitch offering only occasional turn and no assistance for the home side set out at 4-1f but it was soon 18-2 as Sean Dickson was rapped on the back pad by a ball from Patterson-White that turned and departed lbw for was to follow for Somerset when Tom Lammonby, on seven, pulled a short ball from Patterson-White and picked out the only fielder on the leg side, Farhan Ahmed at deep went on the counter-attack, launching three big sixes back over the head of off-spinner Ahmed, the last pitching on top of the Marcus Trescothick the most impressive aspect of the former Yorkshire player's innings was the respect he showed the other bowlers having spread the field, content to pick up ones and twos as he and Rew laid the first foundations for avoiding Rew was equally intelligent in his shot selection, nullifying the effect of Patterson-White, who displayed the same control of line and length that his Somerset counterpart Jack Leach had shown on day lunch the scoreboard read 112-3 and the Notts lead was down to 18 runs. Patterson-White had bowled throughout the morning, sending down 15 overs for 46 runs and two wickets.

IND U-19 vs ENG U-19, 2nd Youth ODI: Thomas Rew's ton trumps Vaibhav Suryavanshi's start as England beat India to square series 1-1
After a comfortable six-wicket win in the first Youth ODI against the England U-19 side, the Indian Colts have been handed a one-wicket loss by the home team in the last over thriller second Youth ODI at the County Ground in Northampton on Monday. Riding on captain Thomas Rew's brilliant century, England scraped through with a narrow win to level the five-match series 1-1. Another brisk start from young Indian prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi and multiple 40s from the middle order helped India post 290 in 49 overs after being put in to bat. England then chased down the target with three balls to spare, reaching 291 for 9 in 49.3 overs. RS Ambrish, the medium pacer for India, took four wickets for 80 runs from his 10 overs to raise hopes of an Indian victory but the last English pair of Sebastian Morgan (20 not out) and Alex French (3 not out) survived the final two overs to give their side a win in a see-saw battle. The home side made a shaky start in their run chase with opener BJ Dawkins (7) back in the dressing room in the second over at team score of just seven. They slumped to 46 for 2 and then to 47 for 3 in the 12th over with Ambrish taking the wickets of Ben Mayes (27) and Isaac Mohammed (11) in quick succession. A magnificent 131 from 89 balls for Thomas Rew against India U19s today 👏 Enjoy all six sixes, some ridiculous shots in here 😍#WeAreSomerset — Somerset Cricket (@SomersetCCC) June 30, 2025 But Rew (131 off 89 balls) and Rocky Flintoff (39) resurrected the England innings with a 123-run stand for the fourth wicket before the latter got out off Kanishk Chouhan in the 33rd over. England then needed 20 runs from three overs and 12 from two but they had just two wickets in hand. Alex Green (12) fell in the first ball of the penultimate over, the third victim for Ambrish, and England needed seven runs from the final over with the last pair at the crease. England eventually crossed the line with Morgan hitting a four off the third ball of the final over bowled by Yudhajit Guha. Suryavanshi was among the runs for the second time as he had also made 48 in India's comprehensive win in the first match. For England, AM French was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/71 from his 10 overs while Jack Home (3/63) and Alex Green (3/50) were among the wickets. The home side conceded 32 extras, including 26 wides. India U-19: 290 all out in 49 overs (Vaibhav Suryavanshi 45, Vihaan Malhotra 49, Rahul Kumar 47, Kanishk Chouhan 45; AM French 4/71, Jack Home 3/63, Alex Green 3/50). England U-19: 291 for 9 in 49.3 overs (Thomas Rew 131, Rocky Flintoff 39; RS Ambrish 4/80). (With PTI inputs)

Somerset defeat Durham by seven wickets after day three run chase
A superbly judged unbeaten century by Tom Lammonby helped Somerset maintain their excellent form with a seven-wicket defeat of Durham in the Rothesay County Championship match at the Banks Homes Riverside. The victory moves Lewis Gregory's side up to fourth in the Division One table, although most of the other games in this round have yet to finish. Resuming on 71 for one and needing 194 more runs to clinch their third victory in succession, Lewis Gregory's batsmen encountered few problems on a pitch where 31 wickets had fallen in two days. Instead, they reached their target in mid-afternoon having lost only two wickets on this third day. Lammonby finished on 104 not out and Tom Abell, with whom he had put on an unbroken 139 for the fourth wicket, was unbeaten on 73. Yet Durham had enjoyed the perfect start to the morning when Gregory, was caught behind by Ollie Robinson off Ben Raine for 38 in the second over of the day. But Lammonby and the new batsman, James Rew made light of that setback by adding 55 runs in 15 overs and seizing on some wayward bowling by the callow Durham seamers. Read more: Somerset set for third-day run chase after 18 wickets fall at Durham Matt Henry takes four wickets on opening day against Durham Somerset women fall to defeat in one-day game Just before noon, Alex Lees brought on Colin Ackermann to bowl his off-spin from the Lumley End and this change brought a much needed breakthrough for the home side when Rew, who had looked in little trouble while making 31, chipped a half-drive straight to Lees, himself, at short extra cover. That wicket left Somerset on 128 for three but it did not halt the visitors' steady progress towards their target. Lammonby became only the second batsman in the match to make a half-century, reaching that landmark off 70 balls and having hit five boundaries, and Durham's need for further wickets was made plain when Raine and Mitch Killeen were brought back into the attack around 40 minutes after they had been taken off. Those bowling changes made no difference. Lammonby and Abell continued their steady accumulation, maidens were rarities and Somerset reached lunch on 174 for three, 91 short of their target, with Lammonby on 65 not out and Abell unbeaten on 20. Five overs into the afternoon session Durham threw away a faint chance to salvage the game when Lammonby was dropped on 69 by James Minto off Daniel Hogg at deep square leg, the 17-year-old shelling a straightforward chance after the ball had been pulled straight to him. That escape seemed to energise the Somerset batsmen and the remaining 70 runs came quickly. Lammonby took three fours off a Minto over and soon after reached his century off 149 balls, having hit a dozen fours. Shortly afterwards, Abell reached his fifty off 122 balls and victory was confirmed when Abell clipped Killeen through midwicket for a final boundary. On a tough day for Durham's bowlers, Raine finished with one for 50, Ackermann one for 40 and Killeen one for 67
