Lategan’s Century Shuts Down Gloucestershire | Bristol News

Worcestershire stunned Gloucestershire with a fiery 279-run chase, powered by a sensational 144 from debutant Dan Lategan — who dropped his first ball but then lit up the innings — and a century from Jake Libby. Their explosive 244-run opening stand dismantled Gloucestershire’s plans, who had set the target after James Bracey’s 127 and Ollie Price’s 77. The loss drops Gloucestershire to the bottom of the table, while Worcestershire leap to fourth in Division Two. With Lategan’s heroics and a tricky pitch that favored batsmen, the win feels even more special — especially since he was dismissed on the very first ball he faced. Now, they’re primed for a quick turnaround against Lancashire, hungry to keep this momentum alive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
