England level ODI series with India at 1-1 thanks to Joe Root ton

Although mystery man Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets, they all owed something to good fortune and his ten overs cost 68 runs. Once captain Virat Kohli was lbw to Moeen, India virtually gave up on their run chase and failed to hit a six in a completed 50-over innings for the first time in seven years. M.S.Dhoni, one of the great superstars of Indian cricket, played an extr...

England vs India T20 result: Alex Hales blasts Eoin Morgan’s men to victory in Cardiff to level series

Image
6th July 2018, 9:27 pm == ALEX HALES hit a massive six from the first ball of the final over as England levelled the Twenty20 series with India. The Notts batsman hoisted Bhuvneshwar Kumar out of the ground and made certain that England won by five wickets. Getty Images - Getty Alex Hales smashed a huge six to see England home in the second T20 Reuters Alex Hales sealed a five-wicket victory for England in Cardiff It followed an earlier and equally big strike by Hales off Kuldeep Yadav as England overcame their wobbles against the mystery spinner. The ball sailed so far and high that it almost landed in the nearby River Taff. Jonny Bairstow also swept Kuldeep for a huge six over square leg and into the main stand. He repeated the dose next ball with another monster maximum over mid-wicket. England won despite suffering a batting wobble in the second Twenty20 match in Cardiff. Set a modest 149 to win, England lost Jason Roy, Jos Buttler and Joe Root and slumped to 44-3. Hales and cap...

England vs India T20 result: KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav lead tourists to big win in Manchester

Image
3rd July 2018, 9:03 pm == EOIN MORGAN and his England players suffered their worst nightmare when they were teased and tormented by spin. With the sun blazing and the pitches parched, some cricket grounds look like they could be in Mumbai or Delhi. And, guess what, folks, the Indians are in town. AFP India thrashed England in the first of three T20s at Old Trafford on Tuesday Destroyer-in-chief in the first Twenty20 match at Old Trafford was a left-arm twirly man called Kuldeep Yadav. His finished with 5-24 in four overs and his haul included Morgan, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root in the same over. Bairstow and Root were both dismissed for golden ducks. Even though Jos Buttler continued his golden form with an innings of 69, England were routinely thrashed by eight wickets with ten balls to spare. It was a chastening experience after England won all six white ball games against the Aussies. England’s bowlers were put to the sword by K.L.Rahul, who plundered a century from just 53 balls....

Jos Buttler leads England romp over Australia in T20 to complete dominant 6-0 clean sweep

Image
27th June 2018, 10:06 pm == ENGLAND battered and brutalised the hapless Aussies one final time with another record-breaking batting demo. Their crushing victory in the sole Twenty20 internationals means the score from white ball matches over the last two weeks is: England 6, Australia 0.

Image
18th June 2018, 6:43 pm == ALEX HALES returns to his home ground on Tuesday desperate to pile on the runs and regain his place as England opener. Hales will bat at No.3 against Australia at Trent Bridge – but he knows he will be dropped as soon as Ben Stokes regains full fitness. Getty Images - Getty Alex Hales will play at his home ground in the third ODI Getty Images - Getty Alex Hales knows he must score big to keep his place in the team So his route into the first-choice World Cup team next summer is to dislodge either Jason Roy or Jonny Bairstow at the top of the order. Hales was regular first-choice opener for three years following his debut in 2014 and broke the England all-time record with 171 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge in August 2016. But he opened the door when he was banned for two games late last summer following his night out with Ben Stokes. Roy and Bairstow scored a stack of runs in his absence – and have been together ever since. As England try to secure the se...
