Yorkshire trail by four overnight as young opener helps atone for first-innings failings

Dan Lawrence shored up Essex’s first innings•Getty Images
England Test batter Dan Lawrence hit the game’s only half-century so far – a cautious 61 – as Essex claimed a slender advantage at the halfway point of their LV= Insurance County Championship clash with Yorkshire.During a sunny second day at Headingley, Lawrence reached 50 for only the fifth time in all cricket during a summer beset by injury as Essex replied to Yorkshire’s first-innings 134 with 225.No other batter from either side has yet raised their bat in a bowler-dominated Division One fixture, though young Yorkshire opener Fin Bean is closing in having reached close unbeaten on 41 out of 87 for two from 27.4 overs of their second innings.The hosts, who trail by four, fought hard with ball and then bat to stay in the hunt for only a second win in 2022. But they lost George Hill caught at slip in the day’s final over.Yorkshire enjoyed a useful morning followed by a super start to the afternoon, with Essex falling to 105 for six.Jordan Thompson claimed the first two wickets to fall and later finished with four for 60, while new ball partner Ben Coad’s first of two wickets was the 200th of his first-class career.Thompson uprooted Nick Browne’s off stump with his first ball, at the start of the day’s second over, before ousting Tom Westley as the first of five lbws in the first six wickets.Steve Patterson also trapped Sir Alastair Cook in front for 23 as the former England captain played back to one which skidded through.It was the seventh time in the last seven Championship games the two have been playing that Patterson has removed the left-hander.Essex reached lunch at 79 for three from 33 overs. But things changed quickly.Thompson returned immediately at the start of the afternoon and struck in his first over for the second session running as Matt Critchley was lbw.And when Feroze Khushi and Adam Rossington were trapped lbw with deliveries which kept low from Coad in the space of six overs, Essex were six-down in the 41st over and still 29 runs adrift. The Khushi wicket, Coad’s first, was number 200.However, the day’s pendulum was about to swing again as Essex reasserted their authority thanks largely to their hard-hitting seamer Snater, who freewheeled his side into the lead.Snater hit well down the ground off front foot and back and pulled Thompson for six to secure a lead at 135 for six in the 47th over.He shared 75 inside 15 overs with Lawrence, whom he passed in the mid-forties. The England man had been on 25 when Snater came to the crease.Lawrence, who faced 145 balls, was more than happy to play second fiddle before Snater pulled Hill’s seam to midwicket, where sub fielder Ben Mike held on for his first contribution in a Yorkshire shirt having joined from Leicestershire. At 180 for seven, Essex led by 46.Lawrence reached his fifty shortly afterwards off 118 balls, his fifth of a frustrating summer which has literally been hamstrung having returned from England’s spring Test tour of the West Indies.The 25-year-old suffered two hamstring injuries during the early stages of the campaign and has had to find his way again for the likes of Essex, the Lions and the London Spirit whilst England’s senior team were winning six out of seven summer Tests. On this evidence, a bright future remains.He batted with skill and caution in bowler-friendly conditions, though would have been frustrated to feel for one outside off just after tea and edge Hill (three for 22 from 13.4 overs) behind – 209 for eight in the 68th over, a lead of 75.Ben Allison, for 23, was then trapped lbw by Thompson before Hill’s third wicket was that off a swinging Sam Cook caught behind.After Cook removed Adam Lyth early in Yorkshire’s second innings, Bean played with positivity but composure as he indicated easier batting conditions under the Headingley sunshine.Hill also played nicely for 33, though swished his bat in frustration after falling to Jamie Porter three balls before the scheduled close.

علّق الإعلامي أحمد شوبير على الجدل الذي أُثير حول موقف التونسي علي معلول، ظهير أيسر الأهلي، بعد مباراة الفريق الأخيرة أمام البنك الأهلي، والتي شهدت لقطة أثارت تفاعلًا واسعًا من جماهير القلعة الحمراء.
وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم الأحد: “ناس كثيرون سألوني عن موقف علي معلول في مباراة أمس، وهل الأهلي سيعاقبه؟”.
وتابع: “لماذا الأهلي يعاقبه؟ ماذا فعل معلول، الحكم أنهى المباراة واللاعب دخل غرفة الملابس (صعبان عليه نفسه وزعلان) لأن الكابتن عماد النحاس استدعاه للنزول بديلًا ثم أعاده إلى الدكة ثم استدعاه مرة أخرى”.
واختتم: “علي معلول اسم وتاريخ كبير (صعب عليه نفسه لكنه لا عمل حاجة ولا شوح ولا اعترض ولا اتكلم ولا فتح فمه) لا توجد أي مشكلة بالنسبة لـ علي معلول، ومثلما قلت سابقًا علي مُقدر جدًا من النادي الأهلي”.

وكانت مباراة الأهلي أمام البنك الأهلي، التي أُقيمت مساء السبت ضمن منافسات الجولة السابعة من الدوري الممتاز، قد شهدت مشهدًا مثيرًا في الدقائق الأخيرة، بعدما قرر المدير الفني عماد النحاس الدفع بـ علي معلول كبديل، قبل أن يتراجع عن القرار فجأة، ثم يستدعيه مجددًا للمشاركة.
فوز الأهلي بالمباراة بنتيجة 2-1، حافظ به على صدارة جدول الترتيب برصيد 55 نقطة، إلا أن الواقعة أثارت غضب قطاع من الجماهير، الذين اعتبروا أن ما حدث تجاه معلول لا يتناسب مع مكانته الكبيرة في الفريق.
ورغم أن اللاعب لم يبدِ أي اعتراض صريح، فإن ملامح الحزن ظهرت عليه بوضوح، وهو ما فُسر على أنه انزعاج داخلي من الموقف، دون أن يتطور الأمر لأي رد فعل غير لائق.

da dobrowin： Glasgow Rangers manager Philippe Clement is finally beginning to see the fruits of his labour with regard to how his signings from the summer transfer window are performing.
da wazamba： A rebuild was certainly required at Ibrox, with plenty of high earners being sold or released, while a host of young talents arrived in Glasgow, along with a few experienced players.
With a few months of the season now completed, several players have established themselves as key members of Clement’s squad. Connor Barron, for example, has played in every single match this season so far, shining in the heart of the midfield.
Vaclav Cerny is another who has recently put a couple of bad performances behind him to embark on a wonderful run of form over the previous few weeks.
Vaclav Cerny
Indeed, the Czech winger has scored five goals and grabbed three assists in six games and there is no doubt the 27-year-old has cemented his place in the starting XI.
Others haven’t quite lived up to the hype on their arrival, especially a defender signed back in August…
How much Rangers paid for Robin Propper
One area which Clement needed to bolster during the summer was the Light Blues’ defensive options. Connor Goldson was sold after six years in Glasgow, while Leon Balogun was likely to enter his final season at the club.
This saw the Belgian turn to Europe in order to add some reinforcements to his squad, making a move for FC Twente captain Robin Propper.
The Dutchman had played over 200 times in the Eredivisie throughout his career, so it was clear the 31-year-old was experienced enough to take over from Goldson at the heart of the Gers defence.
Clement didn’t exactly have the biggest budget to play with, yet he managed to secure Propper’s signature for a fee in the region of just £1.5m due to a clause in his contract.
On the surface, it appeared to be a smart piece of business, yet after a few months, the centre-back hasn’t quite performed at his best for the Light Blues.
Robin Propper’s Rangers stats
Since making the move to Rangers, Propper has featured 14 times across all competitions, although he has had to settle for a place on the bench in the club’s last two domestic matches.
One that got away
The transfers that nearly happened but never did. This article is part of Football FanCast's One That Got Away series.
The former Twente captain has started three of their four Europa League ties, although his three starts have seen the club concede five goals, including four at home to Lyon in October.
During those games, Propper has won just 48% of his total duels each match, lost possession on average 9.5 times per game and completed just 80% of his passes.

The defender has committed 1.5 fouls per game too, while being dribbled past on 0.8 occasions each match. Is he struggling with his discipline?
Question marks still surround Propper and his performances of late haven’t exactly convinced the Ibrox faithful that he is the right choice to be the leader in the heart of their defence.
Should the Gers have gone all out for a transfer target in 2023 who is now starring in the Champions League? Rather than wait another year for Goldson’s inevitable decline and having to replace him within a matter of weeks.
Auston Trusty was someone Michael Beale wanted, yet he ended up joining Celtic this summer.
Rangers' pursuit of Auston Trusty
Beale faced a similar conundrum to Clement during his first summer transfer window in charge, as a major rebuild was required at Ibrox.
One area which needed some overhauling was the defence, which led the Englishman to add several targets from down south to his list.
Trusty was one name that appeared quite frequently. In May 2023, the then Arsenal starlet was linked with a move to Ibrox, with the club reportedly even submitting a bid in July to secure his signature.
He ended up joining Sheffield United for the 2023/24 campaign, ensuring he got some first-team football in the Premier League.
It looked like the boat had sailed with regard to signing him during the summer, with Celtic eventually securing a deal for the defender, spending £6m to bring him north of the border.
The move looks like an inspired one, that’s for sure.
How Auston Trusty compares to Propper
Hailed by former teammate George Friend for being “incredible”, Trusty has shone for the Parkhead side during his first few months in Scotland, especially in the Champions League.
The American has played in all four of Celtic’s European games so far this season, as they have recorded two wins, a draw and a solitary defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
Across three starts in Europe’s premier club competition, Trusty has succeeded with a staggering 96% of his passes, has been dribbled past just 0.3 times per game, won 4.5 total duels per game – a success rate of 62% – and has also lost possession just 2.3 times per match, showcasing his class on the biggest stage of all.
Compare these stats to Propper’s from the Europa League mentioned earlier, and they are night and day, with Trusty looking like the real deal in Europe.
Signing a competent defender can make all the difference when performing in continental competition.
This is one area in which Clement has struggled, and it is clear the Ibrox side blundered massively by failing to sign Trusty back in 2023.
Of course, the £5m asking price that Arsenal demanded was clearly too much for the club. Instead, they splashed money on players such as Sam Lammers, Cyriel Dessers and Danilo instead.
It remains to be seen what the Gers will do in the January window, especially as Balogun enters the final six months of his contract. With the midfield improving after every game while Cerny and Nedim Bajrami settle in nicely, might another defender be signed?
If they can land someone similar to Trusty, then the second half of the season may see a change in fortunes, no doubt about that.
Rangers loan star is now worth £20m & better than Bajrami after leaving
Rangers had the chance to sign a former loan star for £5m…
da dobrowin： The summer transfer window brought with it something of a midfield overhaul for Celtic and Brendan Rodgers, with the Northern Irishman seeking ways to plug the gaping hole left behind by Matt O’Riley.
da betobet： Out went the Denmark international – and to a lesser extent, Tomoki Iwata – with the Hoops moving to fill that sizeable, creative void by snapping up Arne Engels, Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan.
In the case of McCowan, the 26-year-old was plucked from Dundee on a bargain £1m deal, having since gone on to score twice in the Premiership for his new club, despite being restricted to just two league starts thus far.
As with the case of the likes of Ryan Christie and Stuart Armstrong before him – the pair arriving from Inverness and Dundee United, respectively – recruiting young talents from within Scottish football is often a good route to success, with it looking as if the Old Firm side are hoping to continue that trend with a move for Motherwell’s rising star, Lennon Miller.
Celtic's pursuit of Lennon Miller
In truth, links to the 18-year-old sensation have become rather inevitable amid his sparkling form in recent times at Fir Park, with the teenager already boasting four goals and three assists in 18 appearances this season.
That impact for his current side has even seen Miller take on the captain’s armband in recent weeks despite his relative youth, with a senior call-up to the Scotland squad no doubt in the pipeline.
Amid that stunning rise, the Daily Mail have reported that both Celtic and rivals Rangers are likely to make a move for the playmaker in January, albeit with neither side having yet made an approach.

The suggestion is that Well will demand a fee of at least £4m, thus eclipsing their record £3m sale of David Turnbull to Parkhead back in the summer of 2020.
That £4m fee could ultimately prove a bargain on the basis of Miller’s current form, yet might Celtic save themselves the outlay by looking to promote from within instead, rather than getting embroiled in any sort of transfer tug-of-war – with Premier League side Liverpool also lurking.
Celtic's potential answer to Lennon Miller
The common theme for Celtic in recent times has been for their brightest young talents to move on elsewhere before making a real impression at senior level.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast's In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
The most notable recent examples are, of course, Ben Doak and Rocco Vata – who joined Liverpool and Watford, respectively – although further cases also occurred with the loss of Leo Hjelde to Leeds United, as well as Daniel Kelly’s summer move to Millwall.
In the case of Kelly, in particular, the promising midfielder turned down what was said to be a “lucrative” contract offer from the Celtic board, with fears growing that a similar scenario could occur with prolific striker, Daniel Cummings, who has netted 20 goals this season.
Thankfully for Rodgers and co, the future of young Francis Turley has at least been secured after he signed a new four-year deal earlier this year, with the 18-year-old midfielder offering a potential alternative to splashing the cash on Miller.
Of course, Turley’s involvement on the senior stage has been limited after making just a solitary, late cameo against St Mirren earlier in the campaign, although he has caught the eye in the academy ranks, after scoring three times and registering one assist in just four UEFA Youth League outings in 2024/25.
The Northern Ireland youth international has certainly captured the attention of his manager and compatriot, with Rodgers outlining just how “impressed” he has been with the young maestro following his senior bow against the Saints:
As the former Leicester City boss outlined, putting pressure on Turley at such a young age could be foolish, yet what would it say to further block his route to game time by signing a fellow teenager in Miller?
There must undoubtedly be frustration brewing at the constant drain of young talent – such as Doak, Vata and Kelly et al – but at some stage, greater faith needs to be placed in an academy asset at first-team level.
Not since the days of Kieran Tierney – who was eventually sold for a handsome £25m fee – has an in-house prospect truly cemented a starting role for themselves.
That maybe speaks to the quality of those produced – as well as the pressure to keep winning, rather than having the time to blood youngsters – but the next step for Celtic must surely be to properly promote from within.
Of course, Motherwell’s Miller is a diamond worth chasing, but would it hurt to give a figure like Turley a chance to prove himself instead?
Celtic could ease Idah injury blow by unleashing 18-goal academy star
The Celtic academy sensation has been in phenomenal form for the B team.
da supremo： The Premier League season is nine games old now, and while Ipswich Town are still without their first win, they have every chance of staying up.
da bet7k： Despite already facing Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion, the Tractor Boys remain above the relegation zone on four points, and while there have been a few suspect performances at the back, they’ve looked reasonably threatening in attack.
However, survival is an extraordinarily tough objective for the Suffolk side as, even though they signed several talented players over the summer, Kieran McKenna still has a number of players in his squad who were there when he took charge of the club in League One.
However, they are without one of the team’s top goal-scorers in the league that season, as his career has taken on a very different trajectory from that of Ipswich over the last couple of years.
Ipswich's rapid rise
This season is Ipswich’s first back in the Premier League for 22 years, and just a few years ago it looked like they wouldn’t be back in the top-flight for some time.
However, following the sacking of Paul Cook in December 2021, the club appointed the inexperienced McKenna as his replacement in what was the Northern Irishman’s first managerial role, and to say it was a masterstroke would be an understatement.
He would stabilise the club in that first campaign, leading them to an 11th-placed finish before mounting a promotion charge the following campaign that saw the Tractor Boys finish second with a mammoth points total of 98 and a frankly ridiculous goal difference of plus 66, which was unsurprisingly the best in the league.
Now, the team would have been forgiven for just looking to establish themselves in the Championship the following season and build from there, but they didn’t do that. Instead, as he had the previous year, McKenna led his side on an incredible promotion charge that once again saw them finish in second place and secure Ipswich’s place in the Premier League for the first time in many fans’ lives.
Amazingly, there are still many players from League One in the current squad, such as, Sam Morsy, Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin, but someone who is no longer in the team is Macauley Bonne.
Macauley Bonne's post Ipswich career
It might be a name some Ipswich fans have forgotten in the blur that’s been the last few years, but during McKenna’s first season at Portman Road, Bonne ended the campaign as the club’s joint top goalscorer in League One alongside Burns, with 12 a piece.
However, the Ipswich-born poacher was only at the club on a season-long loan from Queens Park Rangers, so he returned to West London in the summer.
His contract was terminated by mutual consent the following January as he struggled to make an impact at Loftus Road, and the subsequent years would see the Zimbabwean international play for Charlton Athletic, Gillingham and Cambridge United as he struggled to find form.

Things got worse for the 29-year-old in July of this year as he was released by The Gills, and for a few months, he was a free agent until he dropped down another division to join non-league side Southend United on a one-year deal.
Unfortunately, the former Ipswich ace has seriously struggled for form at the former Football League giants so far this season and, as things stand, has just two assists to his name in ten appearances, which isn’t the sort of form that will see him retained next year.
Ultimately, while he was great for Ipswich and McKenna in the Northern Irishman’s first season at Portman Road, the last few years haven’t been kind to Bonne, and if his form doesn’t improve, he might not make it back to the Football League.

“One of my goals and dreams the last year was to break into England’s top four”
Valkerie Baynes14-Jul-2022
Sophia Dunkley plays the ball to the boundary•Getty Images
No sooner had Sophia Dunkley established herself in England’s middle order, she set her sights on making a place in the top-four her own. No sooner had England switched focus to the next Women’s World Cup cycle, she is doing just that.In her first international outing at No. 3, Dunkley scored 22 from 24 balls as England convincingly beat South Africa in their first of three ODIs at Northampton. The knock was in keeping with her proactive batting style, which Dunkley said she was reluctant to give up heading into the second match at Bristol on Friday. It was also a key part of England’s bid to shake up their batting line-up, with the successful addition of new opener Emma Lamb and Danni Wyatt shuffling back down into the middle order.”One of my goals and dreams the last year was to break into England’s top four,” Dunkley said. “So the fact that I have an opportunity now to bat at three, it’s an amazing feeling. It’s something I’ve done in regional cricket for the last two years, so not completely new, but obviously a different level in internationals.”Naturally the bowling’s a little bit tighter, you don’t get as many bad balls, and you get a lot of pressure built on you in the powerplay, so it’s about learning how to deal with that and how I want to go about it. It’s probably not going to come overnight, and the next two games might not go as well as I’d like, but it’s about building for the future, how I see myself doing that role in the long term.”Dunkley’s first knock as England’s No. 3 included three powerful fours, driven through cover and twice hammered past long-on before she fell lbw to Nadine de Klerk.”I don’t want to take away too much of my natural aggression and intent because I think that’s still really important to push us on as a team,” she added. “So it’s finding the balance really and just doing the low-risk things for longer. I’ve had some good practice in the nets so I’m feeling good.”Related

When opener Tammy Beaumont fell in just the third over of the match, Dunkley had the best view in the house as Lamb carved out a maiden century in just her fourth international appearance.Lamb had opened alongside Beaumont in the drawn Test which kicked of the multi-format series between the sides in Taunton last month and took a massive step towards establishing herself at the very top of the order in the ODI format with her knock.”Emma batted outstanding in the last game,” Dunkley said. “I’m so pleased for her. I’ve played a lot of cricket with her growing up, and grown up with her in the academy, so when we were batting together we were joking about how it was like the old times and it was nice that we could do that in an England shirt together.”It was amazing to watch her do her thing and show the world that she deserves to be an England opener, so I’m sure it’s the first of many for Emma.”It will be one day shy of 13 months since Dunkley made her Test debut against India – also in Bristol – where she notched up an unbeaten 74 in a keenly contested draw.She went on to play an important part in the white-ball part of India’s tour before finishing the English summer playing in all five ODIs against New Zealand. A trip to Australia as part of England’s ill-fated Ashes tour was followed by the World Cup, where she made a couple of half-centuries, including in England’s semi-final defeat of South Africa.”Personally it’s been a pretty crazy year and there’s been a lot of different cricket, playing in an Ashes and a World Cup was a surreal experience,” she said. “Now coming in batting at three is something different so yeah, it’s been lots of experiences, ups and downs, but a great year of cricket all round.”And she was expecting South Africa to come back fighting after a muted display in the first ODI, when their batting failed to fire. Katherine Brunt returned to international action with an imposing first spell and figures of 3 for 18 from nine overs before Chloe Tryon’s 88 gave the tourists some hope. Then their bowlers struggled against Lamb’s accomplished display and a brutal 55 off just 36 balls from Nat Sciver, who had also taken four wickets.South Africa’s bowling could be boosted by the return of Shabnim Ismail, who is available for selection in what would be her first appearance of the tour after recovering from a calf strain, with England leading four points to two.”We bowled really well in the first innings last game and it made it really hard for them to get a big score on the board,” Dunkley said. “Credit to our bowlers and Katherine up front bowling in that amazing spell, five overs for five runs.”We’re just really clear as a batting unit that we want to go out and be positive, so it was a great to be able to put that into practice and we definitely put pressure on their bowlers so I’m sure they’re going to come back hard at us in the next game.”

Cameron Green will return to the BBL with Perth Scorchers after adding his name to the list of Australia Test players who will appear after the series against South Africa.Green last played in the tournament during the 2019-2020 season and could be available for six regular-season matches following the Sydney Test depending on how he is managed with an eye on the tour to India in February.His T20 career remains in its infancy with 14 appears – 13 for Scorchers and one for Australia – and he has yet to make a meaningful impact but the majority of his innings have come at No. 6 and 7. However, team-mate AJ Tye was of little doubt he would break through in the format.Related

“We had a year of him at the Scorchers two years ago and he was still leaning his craft then, but you look at him and the way he’s matured in the last couple of years, he may not be the star T20 player but he will be,” Tye told ESPNcricinfo at the BBL draft launch. “He’s got the game, he’s got the attributes, he can bowl quickly and bat anywhere. He’s definitely a player to watch and hopefully in the next few years we see him a bit more in the Big Bash.”Green completes Scorchers’ domestic list for the 2022-23 season with their final three slots in the 18-player squad to be filled during the overseas player draft on Sunday.”We’re thrilled to see Cam back in Scorchers colours. To add a player of his calibre to our strong group of local players is enormous,” Scorchers head coach Adam Voges said. “His talent with bat and ball has regularly been on show for WA and Australia in recent years, and we’re excited by the versatility he offers us.”Green’s deal follows the big-money offer made to David Warner for his two-year Sydney deal. Travis Head (Adelaide Strikers) and Marnus Labuschagne (Brisbane Heat) have also signed new contracts. Mitchell Starc has already said he will rest with Pat Cummins expected to do the same. It has yet to be confirmed whether Josh Hazlewood will be available. Steven Smith turned down Sydney Sixers’ initial offer, but there still remains hope he will play.
