🏏 :engerland: England (and :walesisntit: Wales) Cricket 2026

164-6 (39.2)

England need 108 runs to win from 10.4 overs with 4 wickets remaining

Typical collapse :-

Fall of wickets:
1-12 (Zak Crawley, 2.5 ov),
2-129 (Ben Duckett, 27.1 ov),
3-144 (Joe Root, 32.4 ov),
4-156 (Harry Brook, 36.5 ov),
5-158 (Jacob Bethell, 37.3 ov),
6-164 (Sam Curran, 39.2 ov)

Pub must be open obviously

Ahmed and Buttler gone. Ahmed to a superb catch on the boundary, Buttler mistiming a slower ball and getting his stumped smooshed.

211-8, require 61 runs with 2 wickets remaining…

Proves the old adage, bowl at the stumps, they miss, you hit.

Hmmm, 20 runs required from the last over…

Don’t matter, Overton refuses a run on the first ball and then slices the next to mid-wicket

252ao

Those 23 runs in the last over really did for England.

lose by 20 runs

I guess that could be because Rashid has more “not outs” as he bats lower down the order…

Actually their runs are very close, Rashid has 41 NOs compared to Crawley’s 4

Clearly Rashid bats more sensibly

SL bat 1st.
Crawley injured

England captain Harry Brook confirms Rehan Ahmed will open the batting with Zak Crawley injured with Will Jacks slotting into the middle order.

Pinch hinters are back in fashion it seems.

So just that one change gets another part time spinner in the team

Oooh we took a wicket. 16-1 from 4.3
