Jamie Overton hit a stunning 97 on his England debut and then starred with the ball as the hosts closed in on a series clean sweep against World Test champions New Zealand at Headingley.
Jamie Overton hit a stunning 97 on his England debut and then starred with the ball as the hosts closed in on a series clean sweep against World Test champions New Zealand at Headingley. New Zealand were 168-5 in their second innings, a lead of 137, with paceman Matthew Potts having taken 2-20, when rain cut short Saturday's third day of the third Test. But with England having chased down 299 inside a day to win the second Test and go 2-0 up in the three-match series, the Black Caps still had plenty to do if they were to avoid a whitewash, with two days' play remaining in Leeds.
Jonny Bairstow reckons he is finally showing his true personality as an England cricketer by playing in a thrilling style to put ‘bums on seats.’
Daryl Mitchell on Friday broke a 73-year-old record for the most runs by a New Zealand batsman during a Test series against England while making 109 at Headingley. His third hundred of the three-match series took him to 482 runs, 20 more than Martin Donnelly made in 1949.
Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell came to New Zealand's rescue in the ongoing third Test against England at Headingley in Leeds. With New Zealand reeling at 123 for five on Day 1, the pair added 120 runs for the sixth wicket before Blundell was dismissed in one of the most unfortunate ways on Day 2. England pacer Matthew Potts bowled a full-length delivery which nipped back in after pitching, striking Blundell on his left leg. While the umpire raised his finger straightaway, Blundell did not get the chance to review the decision as the DRS was down at the venue.
In-form Daryl Mitchell powered New Zealand's revival after Stuart Broad struck early for England on the first day of the third Test at Headingley on Thursday. New Zealand were 225 for five at close of play, with Mitchell 78 not out following his hundreds at Lord's and Trent Bridge. Those inspired efforts were insufficient to prevent the World Test champions falling 2-0 behind in the three-match series. But Mitchell will aim to add another ton as the Black Caps try to salvage a victory in the series finale. Broad, England's spearhead after James Anderson was ruled out with an ankle injury, removed Tom Latham in the first over of the day and then captured the prize wicket of New Zealand captain Kane Williamson during a return of two for 45 in 17 overs.
Notts Outlaws hit their highest ever T20 score to beat Derbyshire Falcons comfortably by 94 runs. Falcons won the toss and captain Shan Masood put Outlaws in to bat first at Trent Bridge on Thursday (June 23) night, who brought in Sol Budinger and Zak Chappell for Calvin Harrison and Dane Paterson.
There is more to this controlled aggression than belting the ball out of Trent Bridge. On a fibre-testing first day of the third Test, England’s bowling and fielding also increased in sharpness.
