Plom Stars As England U19s Clinch South Africa Test Series

Posted on Thursday 19 July 2018

Jack Plom featured for England U19s as they produced a fantastic comeback against South Africa to win by four wickets and seal the series.

South Africa batted first and reached 209, whilst England were bowled out for 133 in the first innings and trailed by 76 runs.

The England bowlers responded well with Adam Finch taking four wickets and Jack Plom striking twice to dismiss the tourists for 90.

This set England a target of 167 to win and some early wickets put the pressure on, but good batting from Tom Banton (34) and Jack Davies (32*) ensured England the win and wrapped up the Test series.

Speaking about England’s fightback, England Under-19s coach Jon Lewis said: “Jack Plom sparked it and the rest were able to jump on the back of it. I’ve seen already in my short term as England Under-19s head coach at this level the pressure can get to teams. The third innings the pressure got to our opposition and our guys really stamped their authority on the game.”

Alastair Cook Hits Unbeaten Century For Lions

Posted on Tuesday 17 July 2018

Alastair Cook hit his first century of 2018 in commanding fashion yesterday as he continued his preparations for the forthcoming Test series against India.

The 33-year-old brought up his ton from 173 balls and finished 154 not out on the first day of the Lions four-day match versus India A in Worcester.

It was the 62nd century of the Essex left hander’s career and his first since England’s Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne last year.

Cook opened the batting with Rory Burns who fell for just 5, but found good company in both Nick Gubbins (73) and Dawid Malan (59*) as the Lions ended the first day in a strong position on 310-2.

He controlled the bowling of Navdeep Saini, Ankit Rajpoot, Mohammed Siraj, Shahbaz Nadeem and Jayant Yadav well in his six-hour innings, in which he hit 22 boundaries, and will look to build on his score later today.
