England named batter Harry Brook at the expense of Jason Roy on Sunday in the squad for their 50-over World Cup title defence.
At SuperSport Park, Centurion
LONDON : When England fast bowler Stuart Broad announced on Saturday that he was retiring from cricket after the Ashes series, he probably had visions of bowling his team to victory on the fourth day of the final test against Australia.
England skipper Ben Stokes made history on Saturday as he became the batter with the highest number of sixes during a single Ashes series against arch-rivals Australia. Stokes accomplished this during England's fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval. In the second innings, he scored 42 off 67 balls. His knock consisted of three fours and a six. His runs came at a strike rate of 62.68. In the previous innings, he could score just three runs.
One of the greatest batters of his generation, former England captain Kevin Pietersen has been a big talking point for some of the comments he has made during the Ashes 2023 as a pundit. From criticising the England team's approach during certain phases of the game, to receiving sharp retorts from Australian great Ricky Ponting over certain comments, Pietersen hasn't often found himself making the headlines. Now, the England great probably crossed a line in suggesting that the injured Nathan Lyon only came out to bat on Day 4 of the second Ashes Test to get 'concussed'.
Jonny Bairstow has been praised as a hero by his England teammate Josh Tongue after he prevented Just Stop Oil protesters from potentially disrupting the opening day of the second Ashes Test at Lord's.
Former England star Kevin Pietersen didn't hold back in his scathing assessment of England's performance on the opening day of the second Ashes Test at Lord's, as Australia took control with their formidable batting display. Pietersen, who had the honor of ringing the bell before play commenced, expressed his disappointment with England's bowling efforts after the tourists ended the day at 339 for five.
Former England captain Kevin Pietersen lashed out at the England bowlers for showing lack of intent on Day 1 of the second Ashes Test at Lord's, London. Host skipper Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to bowl first under overcast conditions, but Australia had all the fun. Openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja put a 73-run stand. Despite losing five wickets on the day, Australia posted 339 runs at the end of play. Josh Tongue and Joe Root picked two wickets apiece, while Ollie Robinson also claimed a wicket. The trio, however, lacked support from other England bowlers.
