Henry鈥檚 a success at bowling but when Freddie praises him, Henry鈥檚 concerned about being encouraged to bowl short. Later Freddie notices that Henry鈥檚 being really hesitant and coaches him to give it a bit more clout. But Henry鈥檚 worried about bowling in that style, particularly against the women players.
Chelsea bumps into Freddie at the cricket and asks about his experience with Lawrence. Lawrence was really sexist to her and Zainab at the golf club last week and Martyn鈥檚 put a complaint in for them at the club.

Robert鈥檚 back from looking after Leonie but seems out of sorts. When Lynda probes him he admits that sometimes he feels like he鈥檚 competing with the whole of Ambridge for Lynda鈥檚 attention. And the last fortnight has been extreme. He sometimes needs Lynda more than the village does. When Lynda counters that he could have unloaded to her at any point, Robert explains that he tried but she was always busy. Lynda starts to apologise when it appears that someone on the cricket pitch has been hurt. It turns out a woman batter鈥檚 hand has been injured by a ball bowled by Henry. She鈥檚 taken off to A and E as a precaution.

Ambridge win against the Borchester Fourths but both Chelsea and Robert think Henry鈥檚 bowling style was pretty fierce. Freddie congratulates Henry, but instead of joining them all for celebrations at The Bull, Henry just wants to go home. When Freddie points out they won fair and square, Henry laments that it doesn鈥檛 feel like that.
