Flintoff's 16-year-old son Rocky hits maiden ton for England Lions

Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff's son Rocky struck his first century for England Lions, a team coached by his father, against a Cricket Australia XI in Brisbane on Thursday.

Rocky, 16, hit six sixes as he scored 108 runs off 127 balls, guiding a struggling England Lions to a total of 319, ensuring a first-innings lead of 105 runs on day two.

Flintoff picked his son for England Lions last month, with Rocky getting a late call-up to a tour of South Africa after becoming the youngest player to score a century for England Under-19s in July.

The right-handed batter had scored four runs on his England Lions debut against a Cricket South Africa Invitation XI, followed by 23 runs in two innings in the first four-day match of the Australia tour earlier this month.

England Lions are also scheduled to play a first-class Test against Australia A from next Wednesday in Sydney.
