Really don't know why ADR wasn't in the frame.

It's interesting that in lots of other games it's been late order runs that have been critical. Not sure England have that in them to the same extent.

Thanks for an amazing gig!

Half-century for Laura Wolvaardt (81 balls faced).

This is the 45th time Wolvaardt has scored 50+ runs in an ODI, and the 10th time at a World Cup.

Knight on post captaincy "I'm pretty proud of what I achieved in those nine years. It didn't finish how I wanted, but that's life sometimes. The powers that be wanted to have a fresh start and move on, and I'm completely accepting of that. I'm ready to close that chapter of my life."

Music journalism was once funded by labels advertising. In 2025, barely any record labels advertise, instead paying influencers to gab on. If you believe in cultural criticism and long-form writing, becoming a tQ subscriber is one vital way to ensure it survives:

Won't "like" that, but definitely a sense of a changing of the guard period

This marks the end of a generation for England: barring something extraordinary, we've seen the last time a player born in the 1980s has played a Test for them.

There are quite a few such players still active for other countries - Zimbabwe alone have five.
