In a series of historic events, Rocky Flintoff, son of former England skipper Andrew Flintoff, recorded a stunning batting display for Lancashire on Tuesday, August 11. The 18-year-old, who represented England at the age-group level, scored a rapid 65-ball hundred against Somerset during One-Day Cup 2026 clash at the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton.

Batting at No.5, Rocky turned his century into a blistering 123 off only 76 balls, with the help of 10 boundaries and seven sixes. He also stitched together a massive 214-run stand with Keaton Jennings for the fourth wicket. Jennings managed to score 156 off 127 balls as their dominant partnership powered Lancashire to an imposing 443/6 from 50 overs.
The knock also marked a big personal milestone for Rocky, who smashed his first List A century of his career. Before Tuesday's game the youngster had gathered 350 runs from 14 games in the format, with two fifties to his name. His first-class career remains in its early stages, having scored 137 runs nine innings from five games.

Rocky entered the Somerset game after registering an impressive performance against Warwickshire in Lancashire's previous One-Day Cup game. Coming in at No.5, the youngster remained unbeaten on 61 from 51 balls, hitting six fours and one six.
