Rocky Flintoff broke a record held by his famous father, Andrew, on Wednesday.
Rocky became the third youngest centurion in England’s Second XI Championship when, aged 16 years and 16 days old, he scored 116 runs off 156 balls (11 fours and three sixes) for Lancashire against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.
He also broke the Lancashire 2nd XI record held by his father, who scored his first century in 1994 at the age of 16 years and 266 days.
