Grant's back to cover the matches - very good timing as we finally had virtually a full programme of O60s and O70s county championship cricket. Some matches went to the wire - we cover them all including a match where 2 players scored 99 in the same innings.

This week's packed episode also includes cameo appearances from Somerset's Andy Sapey and Kent's Gary Joyce.

We also mention helmets, or the lack of them amongst batters, after a player top edged and suffered a significant cut across the bridge of his nose.

Did we have two records last week when Norfolk O70s batter Geoff Roper scored 206 not out and added 327 for the first wicket with Randolph Lofthouse?

It was round 3 of the regional O65s competition with the two unbeaten teams - the Northern Superchargers and the South West Falcons meeting at Thurgarton near Nottingham - the visitors won on the last ball

In terms of O60s Div 1 the big shock was Berkshire beating Essex to record their first win of the season

Three teams retain 100% records in O60s Div 2, with four teams unbeaten in Division 3.

In the O70s Div 1 five teams are on 100% with 3 teams still looking for that elusive first win of the season
