BIG BEN STRIKES AGAIN

SURREY HAVING A VIRDI PARTY
Surrey wrapped victory in their first game of the season against Hampshire at the Kia Oval on Monday, and young spin king Amar Singh Virdi was on fire with the ball taking four wickets in the second innings. The 20-year-old deceived Hampshire's batsmen, and had the celebrations to go with it...
Epic turn, extravagant celebrations - you'll be seeing a lot more of this from @surreycricket's @AmarSinghVirdi 🙌🏽 pic.twitter.com/wJdtM2VCEs

BRACEY YOURSELVES
Stubborn battling from James Bracey was a highlight for Gloucestershire against Glamorgan. The 20-year-old stood firm despite many batting partners departing, eventually finishing on 120*, but finished on the losing side as Glamorgan sealed it late on.
Take a look at the moment when @bobbybracey114 reached his Century for the Shire.

NORTHEAST CHANGED DIRECTION
Sam Northeast collected his first century for his new club Hampshire following his move from Kent, holding up Surrey's charge and preventing them from making light work of Hants on Day Four. In the end, Surrey managed to get him out, but they were made to work very hard...
Sam Northeast is frustrating @SurreyCricket in their push for victory on the final-day, going through to a first hundred for @hantscricket. Scorecard here: https://t.co/hKDjN7KWzn @CountyChamp https://t.co/RtBrEuE2yS

LONG TIME COMING
What were you doing in September 2014? Can't remember...? What if we asked you what you were doing 1307 days ago...? No, guessing you still don't remember. Well, Derbyshire have won their first home County Championship match since that time - and look at the reaction as they bowled Middlesex out.
The winning moment... 🙌
