The Finals Day of the 2025 Vitality Blast witnessed a fully phased Chris Lynn. In the semifinal of the tournament, Lynn scored a 49-ball century for Hampshire against Northamptonshire at Edgbaston.

To complete the hundred, the Australian batter hammered five consecutive sixes against Lloyd Pope. When he was batting on 78, the top-order batter started a string of over boundaries in the 15th over to race away to a 49-ball century. He single-handedly shifted the momentum of the match while they were chasing a target of 155 in 18 overs, over the limit, and the target was reduced through the DLS method. Lynn remained unbeaten for 108 off 51 and pushed Hampshire for the summit clash.

In the final match, the Aussie opener's bat remained silent, scoring only 12 runs against 7 balls; Craig Overton dismissed him in the third over. Though he was able to make 194 runs in 20 overs, their opponent, Somerset, chased them down in 19 overs without confronting any surprising challenge. The defeat in the final did not fade away the marks he left in the semifinals by scoring the hundred.

The scorecard is the proof of Lynn's dominating batting 

This was his fourth T20 Blast century, and he became the first batter to score a hundred on Finals Day in 22 years. Hampshire's semifinal batting scorecard is the proof that he was dominating Lynn in the match. After Lynn, James Vince, skipper of Hampshire, was the second-highest scorer of the game with only 12 runs. Four other batters who stepped into the crease did not get a double-digit score. 

The Brisbane-born participated in 7 Indian Premier League seasons, 5 with the Kolkata Knight Riders. IPL saw his best during the 2018 season, when he scored 491 runs in 16 matches for the Purple and Gold brigade.

English domestic white-ball cricket is in for its biggest shake-up in years, with sweeping changes coming to the men’s and women’s Vitality Blast and the Women’s Metro Bank One-Day Cup from 2026. The reforms, backed by a two-thirds majority of the 18 first-class counties and shaped with input from the Professional Cricketers’ Association, aim to improve player welfare, reduce travel demands, and sharpen the competitive edge of county cricket.

While the white-ball roadmap is now clear, the men’s County Championship remains under review, with counties yet to agree on the best way forward. A decision is expected before the competition resumes in September.

Men’s Vitality Blast Gets Shorter, Sharper

From 2026, the men’s Vitality Blast group stage will shrink from 14 to 12 matches per team. The competition will revert to the three regional groups of six used in the COVID-hit 2020 season, with each county playing 10 matches against group rivals and two additional fixtures against one side from another group.

The aim is to concentrate the schedule into a block format and complete the tournament by July, before The Hundred begins. Organisers believe the move will make local derbies more intense, improve crowd appeal, and give players more breathing room in a packed summer.

New Men’s Blast Format (From 2026):

County Championship Future Still Unsettled

The red-ball competition remains a sticking point, with three formats under discussion:

Talks will resume later this summer, with promotion/relegation tweaks also on the table.

Women’s Competitions Get a Boost

The women’s game is also undergoing a structural upgrade, particularly at the top level. Tier 1 of the Women’s Vitality Blast will expand from eight to nine teams with Yorkshire’s addition, while Tier 2 will move to a single national group to create more balanced competition. The Tier 1 schedule will be trimmed to 12 matches, but the top four will now contest two semi-finals before the final, rather than just one semi-final.

Women’s Vitality Blast Changes (From 2026):

The Women’s Metro Bank One-Day Cup will also see tweaks. Tier 1 will move to a 16-match season, with an eliminator replacing the second semi-final, while Tier 2 will be shortened to 8 matches, with each side facing each other once.

ECB Welcomes Changes

ECB chief executive Richard Gould praised the counties for taking ownership of the reform process. “It’s important we keep evolving domestic cricket to make it the best it can be for players, fans, and the game’s future,” he said.

Beth Barrett-Wild, the ECB’s director of the women’s professional game, said the changes were made with player input and will be reviewed before the 2027 season, when Glamorgan is due to join Tier 1.

Professional Game Committee chair Mark McCafferty described the Blast changes as “a springboard to further investment” that would improve derby intensity and ease pressure on players in a congested summer calendar.

A few weeks ago, the young England spinner, Rehan Ahmed’s brother, Farhan Ahmed, picked up 10 wickets in a first-class game, while representing the England Lions against India. However, he has made a new record by becoming the youngest spinner of the side to celebrate a hat-trick, including a five-wicket over during the ongoing T20 Blast competition in 2025, as he featured for Nottinghamshire against Lancashire. 

It was the last group-stage clash of the side in the T20 Blast against the Roses at the Trent Bridge ground. The visitors’ captain, Keton Jennings, won the toss and decided to bat first on a surface which looked to slow down by the end of the encounter. They were bundled out for just 126 runs in 20 overs, with Matthew Hurst ending with the highest individual score of 36 runs.

On the third-last ball of the first innings, Farhan Ahmed picked up the wicket of Luke Wood. The spinner used the air to flight the delivery as the southpaw looked to play the reverse-sweep. But he could only get a top edge as the third-man fielder took a comfortable catch to send the batter back in the hut.

On the very next delivery, Farhan went for a flat delivery on the legs of the number 10, Aspinwall, who clubbed the delivery straight into the hands of the fielder on the boundary line. Being the penultimate delivery of the innings, the right-handed batter looked to fetch it outside the park to take the most advantage.

— Vitality Blast (@VitalityBlast) July 18, 2025

On the last ball of the innings, it was the number 11 batter, Stanley. The right-arm spinner slowed the pace down and invited the batter to use his power on the ball. And it happened exactly, as Stanley used his feet to smack it outside the ground, but once he missed it, the wicket-keeper did the rest and broke the stumps as Farhan completed his hat-trick and bagged the figures of 5/25 in four overs.

Notts chased down the score in 15.2 overs with four wickets in hand. The wicket-keeper batter, Tom Moores, nailed 75 runs in just 42 deliveries at a strike rate of around 180, thanks to seven boundaries and four sixes.

Despite the victory, they ended in the sixth position in the points table with the help of seven victories in 14 games at a net run rate of -0.492.

The pitch is batting-friendly, and we can expect an average score range between 190 and 200 runs.

Middlesex batter Luke Hollman played a jaw-dropping shot on Wednesday that swiftly went viral, leaving cricket fans baffled over what to even call it. Facing Surrey skipper Sam Curran, Hollman initially shaped up for a scoop but quickly adapted when the left-arm seamer delivered a slower ball. In a split-second switch, Hollman changed grip and stance to produce a phenomenal reverse switch slap-pull, which sped away to the boundary.

It was an incredible shot in a closely fought Vitality Blast match at Lord's as Surrey edged Middlesex in a high-scoring contest. Will Jacks continued his fine run with the bat, notching up his third half-century in four games with a composed 52 off 36 balls. Surrey posted 189 for nine, with Middlesex’s Ryan Higgins delivering a standout performance with the ball, claiming a season-best four for 33.

Surrey's innings began conservatively but picked up pace in the fifth over when Jacks and Ryan Patel (23 off 11) took 23 runs from Noah Cornwell. The duo put on 66 for the opening wicket before Patel succumbed to a Higgins bouncer, sparking a mini-collapse that saw three wickets fall for just 22 runs. Hollman also contributed with the ball, removing Jacks during his tidy spell of two for 34.

Hollman and Higgins Fight Back, but Jordan Holds Nerve

A stabilizing 61-run partnership between Dan Lawrence and Tom Curran lifted Surrey out of trouble. Curran’s aggressive knock of 47 off 22 balls, followed by Jordan Clark’s two last-over sixes, helped the visitors finish strongly. Middlesex’s response began brightly with Stephen Eskinazi scoring 53 off 38, but the middle order faltered after a double blow in one over—du Plooy was run out for 29 and Eskinazi fell shortly after.

Despite the early trouble, Higgins and Hollman stubbornly resisted and put on an unbroken partnership of 62 runs, which nearly secured the chase. Hollman's late-inning assault with 3 more boundaries and a six to Sam Curran all in the same over took Surrey to the edge of defeat. However, Chris Jordan was unfazed, and with figures of 2 for 28 off his four overs, he stole the game and the win for Surrey.
