The anchor asked Dory: "How's Your Day Going Dory?" The reply was: "It's perfect. We love cricket."
Sri Lankan pace legend Lasith Malinga on Thursday congratulated the national senior women's team for clinching a historic series win in England.

Having made her international debut at the age of 12, cricketer Mahika Gaur made history on Friday as she made her international debut for the second time, but on this occasion for England.

On her big day, Mahika also bagged her maiden international wicket, getting the better of Chamari Athapaththu. However, if it wasn't for rain playing spoilsport, Mahika could've gotten more wickets.

England's left-arm spinner Alex Hartley announced her retirement from professional cricket at the ongoing Hundred tournament. Hartley took a break from the game earlier this year after claiming she was "struggling mentally" while playing for Thunder in regional cricket, having lost confidence in her bowling and interest in the game. Then she made a comeback in the Hundred for Welsh Fire where she played three games, taking two wickets. Because of Fire's resurgence this year, they are already guaranteed a position in the knockout stages. Hartley's final game could be either Saturday's eliminator at The Oval or Sunday's final at Lord's.
