Paul Walter smashed his first half-century of this season’s Vitality Blast as Essex broke their duck in the tournament by stunning Surrey in a rain-reduced final-ball encounter at the Kia Oval.The left-hander struck 55 from 26 balls, sharing an opening partnership of 64 from 27 with Michael Pepper (36 from 15) as Essex finally registered a South Group victory at their 10th attempt, chasing down a target of 142.The contest was reduced to 12 overs a side following a heavy downpour 15 minutes before the scheduled start, with Surrey posting a challenging total of 141 for six.Former Essex leg-spinner Adam Zampa did his best to ruin their hopes on his debut for Surrey, taking 3 for 14 in three overs, but it was not enough as Matt Critchley carved Sam Curran’s final ball to the boundary to clinch victory.Once play finally began, Essex struck twice inside the reduced powerplay, with Pepper’s diving catch in the deep accounting for Dom Sibley and Will Jacks (20 from 13) obligingly punting Luc Benkenstein’s first delivery straight to mid-off.Sam Curran (25 from 13) struck the ball cleanly, thrashing 16 from Walter’s first three deliveries before going after the next one as well, with Jordan Cox racing out from behind the stumps to complete a tumbling catch near point.Despite less than perfect timing, Jason Roy’s power brought him 30 from 17, including two enormous sixes off Matt Critchley before the leg-spinner took his revenge, castling him with a googly.Laurie Evans’ five-ball cameo of 18 propelled the home side above 100 and, although they were initially reined in by Mohammad Amir, Tom Curran (27 not out from 11) finished the innings on a high by hitting the left-armer’s last two deliveries for four and six.That left the visitors pursuing almost 12 an over – and they blazed 50 from the first three of them, with Pepper sweeping Mitchell Santner for two boundaries before lifting the spinner over the leg-side fence.Zampa’s introduction prised out Pepper and slowed Essex’s progress, but Walter slammed Chris Jordan for back-to-back fours before the Australian spinner dismissed Jordan Cox and Benkenstein in successive deliveries.Sam Curran had Walter caught behind with 18 still required, while Charlie Allison (15 from 12) and Simon Harmer also perished before Critchley, undefeated on 14 from six, held his nerve to pierce the ring of fielders at the death.
Ezri Konsa has been linked with a move away from Aston Villa, with Liverpool keen on him, and now a fresh update has emerged regarding his future.
The 28-year-old has matured into such an important player for the Villans, becoming a key starter and coming right into the prime years of his career.
In fact, Konsa will even be hoping of starting for England at the 2026 World Cup, with he and John Stones likely to battle to play alongside Marc Guehi in the right-sided centre-back spot for the Three Lions.
Worryingly, the Englishman has been linked with various clubs in recent weeks and months, with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City mentioned as potential options for him.
Konsa isn’t out of contract at Villa until the summer of 2028, and now a new update has dropped regarding his future at the Premier League club.
Key latest on Konsa's Aston Villa future
Speaking to Football Insider, former scout Mick Brown claimed that Aston Villa won’t even entertain the idea of allowing Konsa to leave in the near future, with the player himself happy at the club.
“Aston Villa have been an example in recent years of how to build a team. It’s a testament to Villa’s recruitment that so many of their best players are attracting interest. The players they’ve brought in, like Konsa and Rogers for example, have reached new levels since they arrived and proved to be very important players for them.
Ezri Konsa
“So Konsa, for example, has impressed at Villa and got himself into the England team. That only invites more interest, because he’s playing on a bigger stage, attracting more eyes on his performances, and that leads to more speculation. So Villa then have a hell of a job behind the scenes trying to keep him at the club.
“From what I’m told, they’re not massively concerned about his future, because by all accounts he’s happy at Villa and he’s been a crucial part of their success. Emery has no plans to let him go because of how important he is to Villa, and I think Villa will be confident that they can keep him. Even with teams like Liverpool or Chelsea looking at him, that won’t chance Villa’s position.”

This will come as a relief to Villa supporters, with Konsa arguably now one of the first names on Unai Emery’s team sheet, recently being hailed as “excellent” by Troy Deeney.

As mentioned, he now feels like he is at his peak, which should remain the same for another three or four years or so, and if Villa are to continue heading in the right direction, they cannot afford to sell their best players to teams who are higher than they are in the table.

– A gente não tem a necessidade de vender o atleta, o que acontece é que é uma grande oportunidade para o jogador, a gente entende esse lado do atleta, que isso mexe muito com a cabeça dele. E o Cuiabá também precisa se movimentar, a gente tem feito alguns investimentos depois do fim do Brasileiro, fechamos alguns negócios, não posso falar nomes porque não tem nada 100% concretizado ainda, mas a gente precisa oxigenar nosso caixa para que a gente continue investindo no plantel e no clube – explicou Cristiano ao ‘De Primeira’, do UOL.
Para a negociação ser concluída, o Cuiabá está se acertando com o Avaí e Jacuipense, que possuem 25% e 10% dos direitos do jogador, respectivamente. A ideia do Dourado, segundo o jornalista Venê Casagrande, é ficar com 40% dos direitos econômicos do volante.

Sonny Baker impressed for Manchester Originals in the Hundred•Getty Images
Sonny Baker, the Hampshire fast bowler, will make his international debut in the first match of England’s ODI series with South Africa at Headingley on Tuesday.Baker, 22, has only played 11 List A games but caught the eye during the Hundred, where he took nine wickets in seven appearances for Manchester Originals. Capable of pushing the speed gun up to 90mph/145kph, he impressed with the Lions over the winter and was handed an England development contract earlier this year.He will be joined in England’s pace attack by Jofra Archer, playing his first ODI since the Champions Trophy, and Brydon Carse. Harry Brook captains the XI in his second series since taking charge, while Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett will continue to bed in their opening partnership.Related

Brook said that England were “excited to see where he goes” after Baker’s performances in the Hundred, noting in particular his duels with Kane Williamson, David Warner, Steven Smith and Jonny Bairstow while playing for Originals.”He’s been awesome in the Hundred,” Brook said. “We’ve seen him bowl at some of the best batters in the world and he had them on toast, so it’s been really good to see. He bowls at high pace and he can swing it both ways with exceptional death skills as well. To have him in the team and for him to be opening up tomorrow is awesome. I think there’s quite a lot of people excited to see where he goes.”There have been a few moments. The spells he bowled to Williamson and Warner and then Smith and Bairstow, all four are world-class batters in the shorter format and he was all over them. He bowled with high pace and high skill. He was awesome to watch this year and everyone was talking about him.”On the day that Jamie Overton shelved first-class cricket, Brook agreed that Baker could potentially force himself into the equation for the Ashes: “I don’t select the red-ball side, but yeah, he’s obviously done really well this summer and we’ll see how he goes tomorrow. He’s bowling at high pace with a lot of skill, and it looks like he has quite a lot about him as well.”England XI for 1st ODI: 1 Jamie Smith, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Joe Root, 4 Harry Brook (capt), 5 Jos Buttler (wk), 6 Jacob Bethell, 7 Will Jacks, 8 Brydon Carse, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Sonny Baker

Liverpool look more and more unlikely by the game that they will retain the Premier League title.
Of course, collecting the top-flight trophy two seasons on the trot is a difficult feat even when you’re all guns blazing.
But, it’s definitely made more tricky when you assess how quickly the wheels are falling off Arne Slot’s title defence right now.
The Reds are already up to five defeats in league action this season, with newly promoted Sunderland only on two losses, in stark contrast.
Slot was also significantly backed in the summer, with the summer transfer business at Anfield no doubt catching the eye, when you consider a jaw-dropping £415m was splashed out by the Merseyside giants.
The likes of Alexander Isak and Milos Kerkez have really struggled to get going, having cost a substantial £165m alone to get through the door.
But, there is one high-profile name that is in very real danger of becoming Slot’s own Naby Keita. Yes, things really do look that bad at the moment.
The numbers behind Keita's Liverpool disaster
When Keita arrived at Anfield in 2018, there was a lot of fanfare surrounding his high-profile signing.
After all, Jurgen Klopp boldly announcde that the Guinean was the “best player in the league” in the Bundesliga when leaving behind RB Leipzig for a shot in England for a whopping a whopping £48m.
In Klopp’s defence, Keita had collected 16 goals and assists combined across all competitions for Leipzig during his swansong campaign and the former Reds number 8 did score some beautifully taken goals during his stint on Merseyside, as can be seen watching the entertaining highlight reel above.
But, with all the hype that had surrounded the capture at the time, it would have been Keita’s constant in-and-out presence in the treatment room that would have irritated Liverpool fans the most, with a staggering 122 games missed through injury for club and country across his five seasons in England.
In the end, he was let go at the expiry of his contract with Werder Bremen, with just 11 goals and seven assists to shout about.
Slot will pray he doesn’t have another Keita-like situation unfolding right now as Liverpool struggle for consistency, with another mega-money signing at risk of fading into the background.
Liverpool's Naby Keita repeat
The failed signing of Keita still stands as Liverpool’s eighth most expensive signing of all time.
Thankfully, above the hot-and-cold 30-year-old’s name in the rankings are the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alisson, and Virgil Van Dijk, who are all figures Slot knows he can rely on.
Unfortunately, the same is yet to be applied to Florian Wirtz, who comes in as the Reds’ second most expensive capture at an astronomical £115m fee.
The German’s arrival from Bayer Leverkusen met with the same Keita-level hysteria, having been dubbed a “generational” talent by sports media professional Christian Nyari just last season.
With 57 goals and 65 assists under his belt for Leverkusen, it can be rationalised as to why Liverpool blew such a large chunk of their budget on Wirtz instantly coming good.
Indeed, Reds journalist Bence Boscak pleaded in the summer that Slot and Co needed to land his signature “whatever” the price may be.

Yet, much like they found out with Keita, blistering form in the Bundesliga doesn’t necessarily mean they will instantly hit the ground running on English shores, with Wirtz still yet to collect a single goal or assist in Premier League action.
Wirtz was particularly ineffective last time out as Liverpool were reminded of how far they’ve fallen in such a short space of time against Manchester City, with an unmemorable 39 touches of the ball seeing the German fail to amass one single key pass.
It’s even clearer from the graphic above how much the number 7 has been “struggling” – as journalist Mark Ogden has noted – in his new surroundings, with both his take-on success percentage rate and duels being won per ninety minutes success rate taking a significant hit.
Analyst Darnish Iqbal has even branded the deal as a “disaster”, with it not being a stretch to state that it is Liverpool’s biggest disappointment in the transfer window since Keita joined way back in 2018. Perhaps the Reds should avoid the Bundesliga for now?
Wirtz, hopefully, won’t fall victim to Keita’s same fate in leaving for cheap though, with glimmers of his quality here and there – as seen in the playmaker amassing five key passes against Real Madrid – meaning Liverpool will hold onto him for the time being, praying he hits his Leverkusen heights on a consistent basis down the line.

Liverpool have fallen by the wayside under Arne Slot’s leadership this season.
Three-wicket win keeps them in contention at top ahead of clash with champions Surrey
ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay11-Sep-2025
Ben Slater played a key role in Notts’ successful chase•Mark Dunn
Nottinghamshire fended off a strong fightback by Worcestershire to complete a three-wicket win which keeps them at the heart of the race for the Rothesay County Championship title.Chasing a target of 136 at Visit Worcestershire New Road, Haseeb Hameed’s side dipped to 83 for 6 before the lower-middle order stood tall to take them to 136 for 7. After Ben Slater held the chase together early on with a resolute 36 off 94 balls, Liam Patterson-White (23) and Lyndon James (17 not out) held their nerve with crucial contributions when it mattered most.Ben Allison took 3 for 50 as the home side gave it everything but the defeat leaves Worcestershire almost certain to finish bottom of Division One. Meanwhile, Nottinghamshire’s win sets up a huge clash with reigning champions and Division One leaders Surrey at The Oval next week.Nottinghamshire resumed on the final morning on 40 for 1 and, to their delight, the rain that has haunted this match was replaced by gorgeous sunshine. Visit Worcestershire New Road looked as magnificent as ever as Slater and Freddie McCann walked to the crease.McCann was soon making the return journey after lifting a pull to deep square leg. When Khurram Shahzad, in a superb spell from the New Road End (8-5-8-1), trapped Joe Clarke lbw, a few Nottinghamshire nerves were jangling at 53 for 3.They were jangling even more after Allison took two wickets in ten balls. Jack Haynes drove to cover and Kyle Verreynne was late on a ball which arrowed in to knock out middle stump.Slater had resisted with skill and patience for 148 minutes but was lured into driving at a wide one from Tom Taylor and nicked it to supply the bowler’s 49th Championship wicket of the season. As runs dried up – three from the last seven overs before lunch – Nottinghamshire dined at 91 for 6.Lunch arrived at a good time for them. It drained the bowlers of momentum and four quickfire fours from Patterson-White straight after the interval put Nottinghamshire back on the front foot. Patterson-White edged Allison to wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick with 22 needed from the last three wickets but James, completing his excellent all-round match, and Josh Tongue saw their side to a potentially priceless victory.
