Cricket is always ready to create records no matter what age you are and how long you've been playing.

England O70s opener Chris Evans proved that this week when after dropping a catch at slip in the first over of the match v Kent he stayed in situ and remarkably then took six catches at slip as Kent were dismissed for 105 with the other four wickets all being catches as well.

Has either happened before in 60s/70s cricket? Here’s a link to the scorecard.

Meanwhile up North Nick Gaywood plundered 161 not out and over in Essex Mel Hussain made an unbeaten 133.

Six teams retain 100% records in O60s Div 2, with 5 teams unbeaten in Division 3.

Only match took place across Division 4 and 5.

With recent Thursday’s missing the rain and extreme heat the tables turned this week with the O70s programme completely wiped out.

Silver Stumps is the podcast aimed at Over 60s and Over 70s Cricketers. Hosted by Grant Timms and Trevor Lee it aims to be entertaining, informative and topical as Grant and Trevor combine a mix of guests with their own take on what's happening in the thriving world of over 60s and 70s cricket.

Just 13 matches across the entire over 60s and over 70s eight divisions were played to a finish – unbelievable given that this was the first week in June.

But nevertheless of the five matches that were completed in the over 60s first division three were epic finishes which we talk about in a little bit of detail. I also touch upon the Test match at Lords – what is going on there?

And I say thanks to Nigel Harrington and Alan Hocking who recently umpired and scored respectively their 100th match for Cornwall Seniors – do you have officials who have reached such a landmark and deserve a shout out on this podcast? Let me know.
