Ben Geddes Hits Career-Best Ton as Naavya Sharma Rattles Leicestershire in County Clash

Ben Geddes made the most of a dropped catch to score a career-best 137—his first century for Middlesex—helping the visitors post a commanding 534 after being put in to bat by Division Two leaders Leicestershire. Supported by Sam Robson’s 133 and a gritty lower-order effort, Middlesex notched their highest total of the season.

The match turned further in their favour when 19-year-old England U19 pacer Naavya Sharma delivered a sensational burst, taking four wickets in just 11 balls without conceding a run. His spell reduced a shell-shocked Leicestershire to 99 for 8, despite Rishi Patel’s battling half-century. With Sharma finishing the day with 4 for 24 and Tom Helm adding two late wickets, the hosts closed day two on a precarious 108 for 8, staring at a possible first defeat of the County Championship season.
