You may have missed (I know one person who'll have accidentally failed to report this) Rehan Ahmed's 122 and 5-fer in the Leics v Derbys game. Until recently he's most famous for getting Stokes out in England nets as an 11 year old.

Anyhow - I think he's now the youngest player to score a century and take a 5-fer in the same game in the counties, beating Kiran Carlson's record who did it aged 18y 119d back in 2016. Ahmed would have been 18y 47d.

Carlson did it in separate matches. He took 5-28 in the first innings v
Northants on his debut, but after 60 FC matches, has only added another
3 wickets.

The youngest before Ahmed to do it in the same CC match was Frank
Chester (18y 172d), who made 128* and took 6/43 for Worcs v Hants at
Southampton in 1913.

Gotcha - thanks. One to keep an eye on next season.
