Jim Phillips was stumped for 99 without knowing he was on 99.

1. Silver Stumps episode 70 is a weekly roundup of over-60s and over-70s cricket from the week ending July 14. 2. Trevor and Grant host the episode, with Trevor travelling to watch the England Lions and the Australia-England ODI, which pushed the recording back a couple of days. 3. The episode asks how weather, Duckworth-Lewis results, and late-season table positions are shaping the seniors competitions. 4. In the over-60s East region, Suffolk beat Bedfordshire in a shortened game after Paul Pallant reached 100 not out. 5. Pallant was 86 not out going into the 45th over, then took 14 runs off John Marsh without losing the strike. 6. Essex beat Norfolk by 58 runs, with Mel Hussain making 150 not out and Neil Brathwaite adding 46. 7. Bedfordshire’s loss at Suffolk dropped them from first to third, while Essex moved to the top of the East table. 8. In the south, Berkshire posted 250 for 7 against Sussex, but Sussex replied with Martin Ford 104 not out, Gordon Morgan 83, and Michael Webb 50 not out. 9. Hampshire made 206 for 7 against Hertfordshire, with Keith Halfsham scoring 72 before the rain-adjusted target brought Duckworth-Lewis into play. 10. Middlesex’s run of form continued against Kent, who made 230 for 8 before Michael Jurnath’s side won with skipper Michael Jurnath 81 not out and John Butterworth taking 4 for 38. 11. In the North, Lancashire versus Yorkshire was cancelled again, leaving the table unresolved and raising the possibility of a run-rate decider. 12. Trevor and Grant note that Lancashire and Yorkshire could finish level on 20 points without having played each other. 13. In the southwest, Cornwall beat Wiltshire with John Nance 57, Anton Luton 79 not out, and Paul Clements 77 off 43 balls. 14. Dorset also beat Devon by eight wickets, chasing a reply that included Richard Pyle’s 105 not out and Jim Ryle’s 127 not out for Dorset. 15. Warwickshire’s Mark Eames made 100 in a rain-affected win over Buckinghamshire, while the Midlands table remains open behind Warwickshire’s 20 points. 16. Northamptonshire’s second team beat Cambridgeshire by six runs in Wellingborough, with Dickie Denton’s side celebrating their first win after Anil Joshi’s rapid late hitting. 17. The tone is practical and conversational, with Trevor and Grant moving quickly between counties, scores, and table positions. 18. The format mixes result-by-result reporting with occasional side stories, like Trevor’s own day watching the Lions and the hosts checking points calculations. 19. Listeners who follow senior county cricket tables and scorelines. 20. Listeners wanting a studio chat without much match detail.
