Middlesex and Glamorgan clashed in the County Championship, while Yorkshire faced Durham with key player changes and strategic implications.

Middlesex faced Glamorgan in a crucial Rothesay County Championship Division Two match at Lord`s Cricket Ground on April 18, 2025. Both teams were eager to secure vital points in this four-day encounter, although specific match scores and player performances were not yet available at the start of play.

Meanwhile, at Headingley, Yorkshire took on Durham in another fixture of the Rothesay County Championship. Durham won the toss and opted to bowl first on a pitch that had a green tinge but was expected to flatten out as the match progressed. Yorkshire made two changes from their previous victory, welcoming New Zealand fast bowler Ben Sears for his debut and bringing back Matthew Revis from injury. The Yorkshire lineup featured notable players such as Adam Lyth, Jonny Bairstow, and Gary Ballance.

Durham`s squad included captain Alex Lees and all-rounder Will Rhodes, both of whom were part of Yorkshire`s championship-winning teams in 2014 and 2015. The match commenced at 11 am under dry, overcast conditions at the Banks Homes Riverside ground in Chester-le-Street. With Durham having lost two matches the previous week, including a narrow defeat to Warwickshire, both teams were looking to turn their fortunes around. Live updates and scores for other matches in the County Championship were available on ESPNcricinfo, but detailed results for April 18 were not yet reported.
