 England strike under the lights after Harry Brook, Ben Duckett cut loose Which feature of this most recent installment most appeals to you? The concept that any or both of Ben Duckett and Harry Brook might have been able to break Gilbert Jessop's 121-year-old 76-ball record for the fastest England hundred, and perhaps at least one of them should have? What about Joe Root, England's outstanding Test batsman of the contemporary era, being caught at slip while attempting a ramp shot on the opening day of a Test? How about Ben Stokes' most recent captaincy crowning achievement, a first-innings declaration after just 58.2 overs that is the second-fastest in Test history? By that point, England had cruised to an usually carefree 325 for 9, at a rate of 5.77 an over, with perhaps only Ollie Pope falling victim to anything that would typically be characterized as traditional bowling "pressure."

Pooja Vastrakar and Renuka Singh each took one wicket. India needed to score 119 runs in order to win, but they lost their top three hitters in the first seven overs, making the task difficult. However, the middle-order partnership of Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh teamed up once more to create an outstanding fifty-run partnership that helped India win. Earlier, West Indies captain Hayley Matthews chose to bat against India after winning the toss. Yastika Bhatia and Harleen Doel have been replaced by vice captain Smriti Mandhana and spinner Devika Vaidya in India. Karishma Ramharack, a spinner, has replaced Zaida James in the West Indies lineup. Another four from Rich

  Eoin Morgan ends his career in franchise cricket after retiring from international cricket last year. Eoin Morgan is a professional cricketer from Ireland who currently serves as the captain of the England cricket team in limited-overs formats. He is a left-handed middle-order batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.   Less than a year after quitting the international game, Eoin Morgan, England's lone 50-over World Cup champion captain, announced his retirement from all short-format franchise cricket on Monday with immediate effect. After a 16-year career—first with Ireland and subsequently with England—the 36-year-old Morgan withdrew from international cricket in July 2022. Despite this, he continued to compete in short-format competitions all over the world. "I am announcing my retirement from all facets of cricket with the utmost pride. I've given it a lot of thought, but I think it's time to stop playing the game that has given me so much over the ye
