A law that rarely comes into play in cricket is when a wicket-keeper batter claims or interferes with play by keeping his gloves ahead of the stumps. But that is exactly the sin that Northamptonshire wicket-keeper Lewis McManus made in a Vitality T20 Blast contest against Somerset. With Somerset's Tom Kohler-Cadmore on strike, McManus had just appealed for a stumping. However, after replays showed that McManus' gloves had just crossed the line of the stumps before he collected the ball, the third umpire decided to call it a no-ball altogether.

Three Uncapped Players Named In England's Playing XI For First T20I Against Australia

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) named the playing XI on the eve of the first T20I against Australia at Utilita Bowl in Southampton on Wednesday. Three uncapped players, Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell, and Jamie Overton, will make their England T20I debut against Australia. Philip Salt will captain the side in the absence of injured designated skipper Jos Buttler. Apart from handling the captaincy duties, Salt will look to lead the charge with the bat in the opening order. The 28-year-old's explosiveness at the top is reflected in his T20I statistics; he has amassed 885 runs at a whopping strike rate of 165.11 in 31 T20Is. In Buttler's absence, Cox will take up the duty behind the stumps. All-rounder Liam Livingstone will prove the firepower needed in the middle-order and is also capable of chipping in with a couple of overs with his spin.s
