·46 min·2 clips

Yorkshire were 150 without loss, then Gloucestershire won by 13 runs after a run-out and two wickets changed everything.

1. Silver Stumps episode 79 covers the over-60s and over-70s quarter-finals across the Cup, the VARs, and the Bowl. 2. Trev and Grant host the discussion, and they matter because they narrate results from matches they watched, including Sesse Cricket Club and Cornwall. 3. The episode asks which county sides survived knockout pressure, where high scores, injuries, and run-outs changed the quarter-finals. 4. Wales posted 297 against Middlesex at Swansea, with Michael Kan making 123 and Neil Stephens taking 2 for 31. 5. Middlesex replied with 256, led by Michael Jadonoff’s 71, but the hosts said 297 was still too much scoreboard pressure. 6. Kent beat Lancashire at Gravesend after John Punchard’s 76, David Lees’ 67, and Phil Holston’s unbeaten 100. 7. Gloucestershire defended 250 against Yorkshire at Sesse Cricket Club and won by 13 runs after Yorkshire had reached 150 without loss. 8. The hosts watched the Yorkshire chase on YouTube live stream and talked through Razzy Ahmed’s wickets, Neil Jackson’s run-out, and Len Attard’s tight call. 9. Cornwall’s game against Essex was delayed by rain, and both sides agreed to move the match a day. 10. Phil Hilson suffered a knee dislocation on the boundary, and retired doctor Ian Bishop put the joint back into place on the field. 11. Cornwall then made 233 for 8, with John Nance batting through a groin strain and Richie Wilson making 90 before Essex lost by five runs. 12. The episode also notes Andrew Bevan’s trip to Cornwall and the sleeper train from Truro. 13. In the over-60s VARs, Cambridgeshire beat Hertfordshire after Graham Haraway and Colin Campbell reduced Hertfordshire to 30 for 6. 14. Sussex then beat Cambridgeshire by six wickets, with Chris Aishleby taking 5 for 17, 4 for 19, and finishing with three sixes in five balls for 18 not out. 15. In Division 3, Sussex’s Roger Smith made 157 not out against Wales thirds, and Jeremy James took 4 for 26 in five overs. 16. Oxfordshire thirds scored 267 for 6 against Buckinghamshire, with Thomas Scars making 108 and Andrew Connolly bowling six wides. 17. In the over-70s Cup, Oxfordshire beat Gloucestershire after Trevor Spindler and Ian Harvey collected multiple LBWs. 18. Kent’s over-70s, Sussex’s over-70s, and Worcestershire over-70s all featured in the Bowl and VARs, with Worcestershire winning their derby after Robert Bond made 107 not out. 19. Listeners who follow senior county cricket, knockout scorecards, and detailed match-ups will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a lightly edited cricket results round-up without ball-by-ball detail may skip it.
