England took the lead in their T20 international series against South Africa on Wednesday evening after Jonny Bairstow continued his excellent season and Moeen Ali set a new batting record in Bristol.
The Proteas may have lost the first T20 against England on Wednesday night by 41 runs, but they will be comforted by the prospect of a new South African cricket sensation being born.
Eoin Morgan said Chris Jordan's "expertise, skill and calm nature" enabled England to secure victory in the first T20 international against South Africa.
West Indies in their own backyard. Despite missing a slew of first-choice players, the Shikhar Dhawan-led India showed they have plenty of depth waiting in the wings as they completed a sweep over the Caribbean side on Wednesday with an emphatic 119-run victory in the third and final match. The triumph was India's third ODI series victory on the trot and saw them boost their rating to a total of 110 and some four rating points clear of arch-rival Pakistan (106), who is in the fourth place.
Jonny Bairstow's excellent season continued as he made 90 in England's 41-run win over South Africa in the 1st T20 international at Bristol on Wednesday. Moeen Ali compiled England's quickest T20 fifty, off just 16 balls, in the hosts' 234-6 -- their second highest total at this level behind the 241-3 they posted against New Zealand at Napier in 2019. "It was a great performance, what we've been looking for, a brilliant total, we were under threat for a while but delighted with the win," England T20 captain Jos Buttler told Sky Sports.
The 20-minute red card rule will again be trialled during the Rugby Championship next month, organisers said on Thursday.
Jonny Bairstow and Sam Curran had had a fun session during their work out in gym ahead of England's first T20I against South Africa, which the former won by 41 runs. In a video shared by England pacer Reece Topley on his Instagram story, Bairstow could be seen lifting Sam Curran over his shoulders. While Curran keeps smiling during the entire scene, Bairstow looks determined and serious about doing the task with perfection. Both the players are a part of England's upcoming three-match T20I series against South Africa, starting July 27.
Adam Gilchrist was a trendsetter in the game across formats. The man revolutionized the role of wicket-keeper-batters forever during his playing years. Post retirement too, Gilchrist is turning out to be a 'trendsetter' once again. He has been the first among popular voices to go on record and say "It will almost be commercial suicide for Cricket Australia to allow a player (in this particular instance, he quoted David Warner) to go head-to-head" against the Big Bash League (BBL).
