    Leicestershire 238 by 130 runsScorecard If it is in adversity that a player can
    most accurately be judged, Essex have unearthed another gem in Dan
    Lawrence.Watching from the other end as his side subsided to 68 for 5 - the
    follow-on not averted and promotion hopes receding - Lawrence contributed a
    serene, chanceless century against a strong seam attack on a wicket where few
    other batsmen have looked comfortable. It would have been an impressive effort
    from any player. From a 19-year-old, it was exceptional.There is more than a
    hint of Alastair Cook about Lawrence. It is not just his precocious achievements
    - Lawrences polished century against Surrey in just his second Championship game
    made him (aged 17 years and 290 days) Essexs youngest centurion and the third
    youngest in the history of the Championship - but his ability to concentrate for
    long periods and complement his obvious flair with discipline and patience.There
    were some fine strokes in this innings; not least the flowing drive off Richard
    Jones to reach his third century of the campaign (no Essex batsman has made
    more) and the fourth of his career. But it was more his ability to defend and
    leave the moving ball that marked him out as a special talent. Like Cook, he
    oozes Test match temperament.He shared in two century stands - 125 for the sixth
    wicket and 130 for the seventh - turning a probable first innings deficit into
    an imposing lead. And he helped secure four batting bonus points that looked
    mighty unlikely in the morning.There will, as ever, be a temptation to mitigate
    this success with the disclaimer that it came against Division Two bowling. It
    is, to a degree, a fair point, too.But this has been a high quality game and
    this is a good Leicestershire attack. While Dieter Klein tired noticeably during
    the day - you might say he deKleined - he generated good pace in his early
    spells (he had 3 for 14 at one stage), has a quick bouncer and a dangerous,
    swinging full ball that accounted for Cook on the first evening and Nick Browne
    from the first delivery of the day.Jones generates movement at a good pace - it
    really is a mystery that he has not enjoyed more sustained success - while Ben
    Raine is the sort of nagging, disciplined seamer that captains love. Charlie
    Shreck, meanwhile, produced such a beautiful delivery to account for Ravi Bopara
    - the ball swung late, beat the outside edge and clipped the top of off stump -
    that there was a temptation to have a cigarette after it.Lawrence has shown an
    ability to read the situation that bodes well for his future, too. While at
    Cheltenham he reached his century from 162 balls, here he understood that the
    game was in the balance and he needed to see his side through a tough period. He
    took 144 balls to reach his 50, the ball moving in the air and off the pitch,
    and 226 to reach three figures as the sun quickened a slow surface and drained
    the attack.It was his captain, Ryan ten Doeschate, who produced the most fluent
    batting of the day. While all other have batsmen in this match have struggled to
    score at a rate of 50-runs per 100 balls, ten Doescahte made 86 from 83
    deliveries. If he had a little fortune early on - in ducking a Shreck bouncer,
    he was fortunate that the ball struck the back of the bat and sped to the
    boundary - he put away the poor ball sweetly and ran swiftly between the
    wickets. He missed out on the century he deserved when he was drawn into pushing
    at one outside off stump and edged to the keeper.While James Foster was cautious
    initially - his first boundary came from his 59th ball and, until then, he had
    scored just 12 - he accelerated against a tired attack and the second new ball
    and left Leicestershire looking visibly frustrated and weary in the field.They
    are not out of this match, though. If the used surface deteriorates, as they
    hope, in the fourth innings, Essex could yet find themselves batting last with a
    tricky chase. But the extra overs bowled in the first innings may show in the
    legs of the Leicestershire bowlers in the second and the absence of a spinner is
    far from ideal.Meanwhile Essex announced that Jesse Ryder, their overseas
    player, has been released from the remainder of his contract and allowed to
    return to New Zealand without delay. While Ryder has contributed some
    outstanding innings in white-ball cricket this season, he suffered a calf injury
    that prevented him from playing four-day cricket in recent weeks.In truth,
    Ryders three-year spell with Essex has been at least as notable for his gentle
    swing bowling as his batting. Making use of the green surfaces that were
    prevalent in county cricket for a couple of years, he claimed 92 first-class
    wickets at an average of 24.71 for the club. With the bat he averaged 36.53. The
    improved pitches this season limited his effectiveness with the ball and, as a
    consequence, he took only one Championship wicket. It seems unlikely that he
    will return.Essex do have plans for further recruitment, though. As well as
    Varun Chopra, already secured from Warwickshire, the club has spoken to Mohammad
    Amir, with a view to him fulfilling the role of overseas player from late June
    next year. Rumours also persist that Adam Wheater may one day return from
    Hampshire. Foster, as he has shown in this game, remains a high-quality player
    but, now aged 36, he hopes to combine his playing career with his future in
    education next year.

    finals of the Cancun Challenge. Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne
    Gostisbehere is spending his summer rehabbing from offseason hip and abdominal
    surgery, while preparing for his sophomore NHL season and for World Cup of
    Hockey training camp as a member of Team North America.The 23-year-old blueliner
    enjoyed a successful rookie season in 2015-16. He registered 17 goals and 29
    assists for 46 points in 64 games. His 17 goals set a franchise record for
    rookie defensemen. He also went on a 15-game scoring tear, which is the longest
    such streak by a rookie defenseman in NHL history.Gostisbehere was also a major
    reason the Flyers reached the Stanley Cup playoffs, and he proved he could
    compete at a high level and have consistent success in the NHL. After his
    surgery, hes feeling better and ready to go for the upcoming season.He sat down
    recently with ESPN.com to talk about the latest events in his life:ESPN.com: How
    are you feeling since your offseason surgery?Shayne Gostisbehere: Its good. Its
    been about [11 weeks], so its been going well. Its not as bad as the major knee
    surgery I had [after tearing an ACL on Nov. 7, 2014], and this is nothing
    compared to that. Its going well, and Ive been back on the ice the last couple
    of weeks, so it feels good.ESPN.com: Will you be ready for World Cup of Hockey
    training camp?Gostisbehere: Oh, yeah. Absolutely.ESPN.com: What did it mean to
    you to be added to the roster for Team North America?Gostisbehere: Its just a
    tremendous honor. When you look at some of those names on that roster, and youre
    on it, as well, its humbling, for sure. Just to be associated with some of those
    guys is pretty sweet. Being part of this World Cup is a tremendous honor, and I
    thanked all my coaches, my family and everyone who helped me get here.ESPN.com:
    What do you think of the Team North America roster?Gostisbehere: When you look
    at our roster, people are probably saying, Holy cow, these guys are going to be
    pretty good. I think well surprise some guys. But there are [great] players with
    all the different countries, and its just cool to see the different dynamic of
    the World Cup with Team Europe and Team North America, and being part of the
    young guys team, its pretty cool to see.ESPN.com: Whats the rallying cry for the
    young guns?Gostisbehere: Our attitude right away is going to be, Hey, we can
    play with these guys. Of course, we do it in the NHL, so why cant we do it in
    this tournament? I actually really do think were going to shock some teams
    there.ESPN.com: Whats your relationship like with some of your Team North
    America teammates, including Connor McDavid?Gostisbehere: I met McDavid in Las
    Vegas for the [NHL] awards. Hes a very levelheaded kid for all the stuff going
    on around him, being the face of the league soon enough. Its cool to see how
    levelheaded he is. I played with Seth Jones and Jacob Trouba on the World
    Junior team, so itll be good to see those guys and catch up with
    them.dddddddddddd Itll be fun.ESPN.com: You finished second behind Artemi
    Panarin for the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. Now that youve had time to
    reflect on your rookie season, how would you describe it?Gostisbehere: If
    someone told me that I would have that type of season, I would look at them like
    theyre crazy. But it was a lot of hard work, and everything that went into my
    rehab for my knee and everything, its just a compliment to everyone that helped
    me get there. It was a great season. You look back on it now and say, Holy cow,
    what am I going to do to duplicate that? Its about putting in more hard work
    this summer and battling through injuries and rehab. Again, its more maintenance
    than anything, so Im just gearing up for another good year.ESPN.com: Besides the
    rehab from the surgery, what has the offseason been like?Gostisbehere: Ive been
    relaxing. My girlfriend, she lives in Connecticut, so I get up there and get
    away from the city life of Philly. I like it. Its enjoyable. I just hang out
    with my two puppies, go on walks and hang by the pool and get down to the shore,
    if I can. Its more about relaxing and taking care of the body, clean eating and
    just gearing up to build the body up to break it back down.ESPN.com: During the
    playoffs, Flyers team owner and hockey icon Ed Snider passed away. What did you
    learn about the organization and how people rallied to support one another
    during a tough time?Gostisbehere: To see the loss of Mr. Snider, and he is not
    only the Philadelphia Flyers, he is the city of Philadelphia. He brought [pro]
    sports here, and to see such an icon of the game go down like that is hard to
    see. But the way our organization, not only our organization, but the city of
    Philadelphia and how they rallied and we paid our respects to Mr. Snider [was
    impressive]. Im sure he was happy that day we made the playoffs. It was a
    special moment for us, but to see everyone come together during a tragic time
    for us, and to see what he actually did for Philadelphia as more and more things
    come out about him, it was truly great to see, and well surely miss
    him.ESPN.com: The season ended with a first-round exit to the Washington
    Capitals, but how much can the Flyers gain from that experience moving
    forward?Gostisbehere: Yeah, we definitely set our goals to make the playoffs and
    do some damage, and making the playoffs was a big step for us. And we were not
    happy with our first-round exit, but its a great stepping stone for this
    upcoming season. Weve got a great group of guys here and some great additions,
    so were excited, and well be ready to go and well know what to expect this
    upcoming year. ' ' '
