Overview

• James Rew, at 21 years and 114 days, achieved his 10th first-class century, becoming the youngest Englishman since Denis Compton in 1939 to reach this milestone.
• Rew’s 116 anchored Somerset’s successful chase of 321, securing their first Division One County Championship win of the 2025 season.
• Somerset overcame a precarious position at 78-5, with key partnerships between Rew, Lewis Gregory, and Craig Overton driving the victory.
• This performance marks a resurgence for Rew, who debuted in 2021 and had a breakout season in 2023 before a dip in form in 2024.
• Essex’s Jordan Cox, who retired hurt after scoring a century, is set for a scan on a suspected side injury, potentially impacting his England Test prospects.
