Andrew Flintoff's son Rocky scores maiden senior hundred for Lancashire against Somerset

Son of legendary English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, Rocky Flintoff, 18, struck 123 off 76 balls for Lancashire against Somerset in the One-Day Cup at Taunton on August 11, 2026, registering his maiden hundred in recognised senior cricket. He brought up the milestone off just 65 deliveries, producing one of the most eye-catching innings of the domestic season.

His knock included 10 fours and 7 sixes, with 82 of his 123 runs arriving in boundaries. Lancashire were lifted to 443 for 6 in their 50 overs, the highest List A total in the county's history, with Flintoff's contribution central to that record. Archie Vaughan eventually held a catch at long-off off Migael Pretorius to end the innings.

The most decisive phase of Flintoff's knock came during a fourth-wicket stand with Keaton Jennings, who contributed 156 off 127 balls. The two batters put on 214 runs from 127 deliveries together, a partnership that gave Lancashire the momentum to push well beyond 400.

Before this match, Flintoff's highest score in senior cricket was 88, a mark he had set in the 2024 One-Day Cup against Middlesex. His List A career had begun in July 2024 when he turned out for Lancashire against Kent, becoming the county's youngest-ever player at 16 years and 113 days. He had signed his first professional contract with the county in June 2024, having been part of Lancashire's system since the age of 8.

Away from county cricket, Flintoff had already shown his potential at representative level. He scored 108 for England Lions against a Cricket Australia XI in Brisbane, though that fixture did not carry first-class status. At Under-19 level, he became England's youngest centurion in that format when he made 106 against Sri Lanka in 2024.

Flintoff leaves Lions role, set for Sydney Thunder stint

Rocky is the son of Andrew Flintoff, one of England's most celebrated all-rounders. Andrew represented England in 79 Tests, 141 ODIs and 7 T20Is and was a central figure in England's 2005 Ashes triumph.

Andrew Flintoff had recently resigned from his role as England Lions head coach, a position in which he had overseen Rocky's century against the Cricket Australia XI in Brisbane. Rocky's maiden senior hundred at Taunton arrives shortly after his father departs from that post.

The innings at Taunton is the clearest statement yet of Rocky Flintoff's senior credentials.
