💯 ALLISON CENTURY! | Essex Men v Hampshire Men - Day 1 Highlights

Charlie Allison made it back-to-back centuries as he steered Essex into commanding position on the first day of the Rothesay County Championship match against Hampshire at Chelmsford. Before his 140 against Surrey last month, Allison’s highest first-class score was 28. But the 20-year-old right-hander followed up his Oval heroics with 101 when the Championship resumed after its break for the Vitality Blast. He was the senior partner in a 107-run seventh-wicket stand with Simon Harmer, 16 years older, that carried Essex towards 292-8 at the close after they chose to bat. He also put on 66 for the fifth wicket with Matt Critchley, whose 71 came from 104 balls and included nine fours and a six. 🦅 #FlyLikeAnEagle
