Chris Green Shines in Lancashire's County Championship Victory
In a thrilling display of all-round prowess, Chris Green starred for Lancashire in their County Championship match against Glamorgan at Old Trafford.
Green, who has played only 24 first-class matches in his career, debuting in 2022, delivered a career-best performance. With the bat, he scored an impressive 160 runs, his highest score in first-class cricket, and his second century. This remarkable feat was achieved during a significant 212-run partnership for the ninth wicket with Tom Hartley.
With the ball, Green was equally impressive. He took six wickets for 82 runs, marking his first six-wicket haul in first-class cricket and his best bowling figures to date. This performance was Green's third five-for in first-class cricket, a feat he last achieved three years ago.
Green's bowling prowess was evident from the outset, as he accounted for the top-order of Glamorgan. Sam Northeast, Tribe, Colin Ingram, and Kiran Carlson all fell to Green's bowling, scoring 10, 61, 33, and 77 runs respectively.
Green's first wicket of the match was that of Zain-ul-Hassan, who was caught behind for 31 runs in the 25th over of the Glamorgan innings.
In addition to his impressive performance with the bat and ball, Green also made a significant impact in the 2025 County Championship. He has taken 20 wickets at an average of 25, and has scored 301 runs at an average of 100.33.
Green's century against Gloucestershire is undoubtedly a highlight of his career so far, and a testament to his growing talent in first-class cricket. His partnership with Hartley, who also scored a century in the same match, is a shining example of the potential for great things from this dynamic duo.
