Rocky Flintoff Hits Maiden Senior Century in Lancashire Record Total
Eighteen-year-old Rocky Flintoff reached a major career milestone by scoring his first century in recognised senior cricket during Lancashire’s One-Day Cup match against Somerset at Taunton.
What Happened
On August 11, 2026, Rocky Flintoff scored 123 runs from 76 deliveries for Lancashire against Somerset. He reached the three-figure mark in 65 balls, hitting 10 fours and 7 sixes during his stay, with 82 runs coming solely from boundaries. Flintoff was eventually dismissed when Archie Vaughan took a catch at long-off from the bowling of Migael Pretorius.
A critical stage of the innings was a 214-run fourth-wicket partnership from 127 deliveries between Flintoff and Keaton Jennings. Jennings contributed 156 off 127 balls, helping guide Lancashire to a total of 443 for 6 in their 50 overs, which marks the highest List A total in the county’s history.
Key Highlights

- The hundred was reached off 65 deliveries.
- Flintoff combined with Keaton Jennings (156) for a 214-run stand off 127 balls.

Why This Matters
The performance marks an important progression in Flintoff’s career since signing his first professional contract with Lancashire in June 2024, having been in the county’s setup since age eight. In July 2024, he became Lancashire’s youngest-ever player at 16 years and 113 days when debuting against Kent. He had previously scored a century (108) for England Lions against a Cricket Australia XI in a non-first-class fixture and became England’s youngest Under-19 centurion with 106 against Sri Lanka in 2024.
Flintoff is the son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, who played 79 Tests, 141 ODIs, and 7 T20Is. The century comes shortly after Andrew Flintoff stepped down from his position as head coach of the England Lions, a role in which he oversaw Rocky’s representative hundred in Brisbane.
What to Watch Next
Lancashire will look to build on this record-setting List A performance as their One-Day Cup campaign continues.
