England vs Netherlands latest: Live score and updates from the Cricket World Cup
Englands Score: 284/6
The cricket match began with Van Beek bowling a few balls that missed the mark, and after some shots from the opposing team, he accidentally sent one past Woakes and the keeper, causing the umpire to give five wide points. He tried to adjust his aim but was still struggling, and ended up throwing another wide ball. Woakes managed to hit one for two points, then Van Beek threw another wide ball, making the over last for 10 balls. He slowed down his pace and Woakes hit a cutter for a single, leaving Stokes with one ball. Stokes was able to get back on strike with a drive to extra and focused on hitting towards the short legside boundary.
"Stokes And Woakes Lead England To 270/6"
Edwards decides to have Dutt bowl his 10th over. Woakes understands that the boundary on the legside is shorter for left-handed batsmen, so he chooses to take a single after facing the first ball.
Dutt is attempting to avoid giving a chance for a slog sweep. He throws the ball wider than the off-stump, but ends up pitching it a bit shorter. Stokes seizes this opportunity, rapidly hits the ball off the back foot, and knocks it through the cover for a boundary of four runs.
In informal English: He hits the ball in a sweeping motion, sending it flying for six points. The ball almost hits a fielder, but narrowly misses them and goes past. He manages to score ten points in just two balls. However, he struggles to hit the ball again with a reverse-sweeping technique, but luckily his hit is valid after review. In more formal English: Using a slugging sweep, he effortlessly sends the ball flying for a remarkable six-point score. The ball briefly comes into contact with a fielder before sailing over them and out of bounds. With just two balls left, he manages to amass a total of ten points. However, he encounters difficulty in his attempt to steer the ball with a reverse-sweep and yet is fortunate to win the challenge as it is deemed a valid hit upon review.
Dutt releases the following ball but loses his grip and unintentionally throws a full toss at shoulder height. Stokes takes advantage of this and hits the ball for a six. He then hits another six by smashing the free hit towards the long on area.
The over has ended after 24 balls have been bowled.
Stokes was given out leg before wicket by umpire Dutt as he lost his balance while attempting a reverse sweep. It is possible that it hit his glove.
English Cricket Team Scores 246/6 With Contributions From Stokes And Woakes
Stokes selects Van Meekeren's not-so-fast delivery and hits it from his pads to make two runs. Later, he achieves the fifty partnership milestone by powerfully pulling the ball to add one more run. Woakes manages to get the ball out of the yorker and gets a single point by hitting it off his toes to the square leg sweeper.
Van Meekeren throws a ball that smells nice. Stokes dodges it and the person in charge of judging if it's good or not thinks it went too far to the side. Stokes hits a ball that was really close to the ground and the person on his team named Woakes scores a point when Edwards tries to hit the stumps (which are a target) after making a really impressive stop. Edwards didn't really need to do that because Woakes never left his starting spot.
There is a strong connection between where teams rank on the points table and their performance.
"ENG 239/6 With Stokes And Woakes Leading"
De Leede bowls a delivery to Woakes which he misses outside the off-side, but on the next delivery De Leede bowls a straighter delivery and Woakes manages to hit it to mid-on and takes a single.
Stokes hits the following ball with a long shot towards the cow corner for a six, which helps him to reach his half-century. Then, the next ball is bowled up towards his legs, and he hits it in front of the square for a single. Woakes also hits a single towards the long-on with a firm grip of his bottom hand. He then uses his strike-rotator technique to hit the ball towards midwicket to hold the strike for the next round.
England Scores 229/6 With Stokes At 46 And Woakes At 27 In Over 42
Van Meekeren comes back to bowl his eighth over and puts pressure on Woakes. Stokes manages to get a single from the first ball by hitting it off his toes. After three balls with no runs, Woakes skillfully hits the ball towards third man and gets back for two runs. The final ball is short and Woakes cleverly hits it to midwicket for a single from a tricky delivery. This is very smart bowling by Van Meekeren in the end stages of the game.
Stokes And Woakes Lead ENG 225/6 With 41 Overs
Stokes seems to be feeling very burdened and unsure while he is batting. He is holding back on his natural instincts because he is aware that his timing is not consistent. However, Woakes is playing with great confidence. He effortlessly hits a second four through mid-off with flawless poise. He also takes advantage of Van Beek's slower ball which veers towards his leg and middle. He lightly touches the ball off his knee roll to score another four runs.
English 215/6, Stokes On 44, Woakes On 15: For The Over 40s
Ackermann takes over for Dutt on the field while Woakes is able to break his 10-over dry spell and score a boundary for England by expertly using his wrist to create a handsy drive that pierces through the covers. After scoring a single through square leg, Woakes hands the bat over to Stokes who also makes a powerful drive towards long on. Woakes then takes back the bat and manages to score another run to keep the strike.
ENG's Score: 204/6 With Stokes And Woakes Leading
During the match, Dutt had a challenging task of catching a hit made by Ben Stokes at deep fine leg. Stokes expertly flipped the ball up, sending it three meters from the boundary. While Dutt attempted to catch the ball with a diving effort, it sadly slipped through the top knuckles of his right hand. Stokes let out a sigh of relief and grinned alongside De Leede after completing a single run. Meanwhile, Woakes hit a straight drive that would have surely resulted in a four, were it not for the impressive relay fielding skills of the Dutch players, who moved swiftly like graceful gazelles.
England Scores 204/6 With Contributions From Stokes And Woakes
Dutt finishes his ninth over without much damage. The opposing team only manages to score four runs as Woakes hits two to the third man and then both players hit singles to long on.
I haven't witnessed England in such a confused state of mind in eight years. They require the guidance of Trevor Bayliss and Eoin Morgan, or maybe a spiritual advisor.
"England Scores 200/6 With Stokes And Woakes"
Stokes hits the ball from De Leede to the leg side and scores two runs. Then he hits the ball to the long on and scores a single. Woakes strikes the ball for two runs using a controlled pull shot and then hits a single to the cover area, making the team's total score reach 200.
ENG 194/6 With Stokes On 37 And Woakes On 1 - Over 36
Moeen attempted to hit the ball over extra cover, but his shot was not successful. Chris Woakes, who was smiling, sought advice from the umpire while adjusting his helmet strap to avoid experiencing the same fate as the original Big Ange and to prevent any delays during the match. He scored one run, as he usually does, by hitting the ball through point for four runs.
In my opinion, it would be beneficial for Rashid to be positioned at No. 8 on similar pitches. His skillful use of his wrists enables him to locate gaps in a manner that is unmatched by his teammates. Additionally, he is one of the few players on the team who has performed admirably throughout the course of this tournament.
Moeen attempted to hit the ball over long off, but unfortunately, he lost control of his bottom hand. Consequently, he lost his balance while hitting the ball, which led to a weak shot that landed straight into the hands of the fielder running in from the boundary. It was not a good shot, and he did not have enough power to make it count. The score is now 192/6.
ENG 191/5 With Stokes Scoring 35 And Moeen 4 Runs
Stokes rushed towards De Leede and hit the ball over the midwicket area, but it landed a few meters away from the boundary. O'Dowd was able to stop it before it went over the rope. They took two runs and then De Leede hit the ball close to his body and got a single. However, Moeen was unable to score anything off the remaining two balls.
According to Shane Watson, Bas de Leede achieved his 12th dismissal at the World Cups by successfully removing Joe Root from the ground. This accomplishment surpasses the previous Dutch record held by his father, Tim.
"ENG's Score Reaches 188/5 With Stokes And Moeen"
Ackermann, a previous captain for Leicestershire, moved to Durham at the end of the season. He was seen speaking with his new teammate Ben Stokes, who only managed to score one point by hitting the ball to a player positioned far away. The other player, Moeen, who is also left-handed, hit the ball gently to the off-spinner and earned one point by hitting it to a player that was standing near the boundary line.
In this year's Hundred, Jos Buttler managed to score 391 runs from 269 balls. While opinions regarding the competition may vary, it is clear that continuously swinging at every ball was not the best way to ready oneself for a 50-over World Cup. As a result, Buttler's performance has not been great, with an average of only 13 and uncertainty about whether to play defensively or aggressively.
"Englands's Scorecard: 186/5 With Stokes On 31 And Moeen On 3"
During Van Meekeren's seventh over, two singles were scored and a wide was called. Although he didn't start well, the medium-fast bowler has improved his performance and his figures are now respectable. The teams take a break for drinks.
"Stokes & Moeen's Contributions For ENG: 183/5"
England is facing difficulties in getting Ackermann out, but it's always good to be cautious. They have added three singles to their score, and their bowling and fielding have improved in the last few matches. However, they need their batsmen to step up and set a strong target. Their plan is to reach 40 overs with wickets in hand and then aim for a score of 300 or more to defend.
ENG 180/5: Stokes On 28, Moeen 1
"Captain, we have a problem - this ship is going down. On the very first ball, Buttler was dismissed and then Moeen stepped in and made his first run by playing a chop shot in the area just in front of square for a single."
Buttler was caught by Nidamanuru bowled by Van Meekeren for five runs. This worsens the already bad situation for the team's captain in the World Cup. Buttler lacked proper timing and smoothness in his gameplay. When he tried to drive the ball, his bat handle twisted, causing him to hit a poor shot straight to mid-off. If he had been in better form, that shot would have easily scored six runs. As a result of this dismissal, the team's score is now 178 runs for five wickets.
"Eng: 174/4 With Stokes & Buttler At The Crease"
England made Ackermann run for four singles during the game.
Eng 174/4 With Stokes And Buttler Scoring
De Leede attempted to use a fancy back-heel move to redirect a powerful shot from Stokes towards the non-striker's side. This was a risky move as he could have been injured just like Pandya was before. However, fortunately, he missed the ball. In any case, Buttler was able to score. Although the ball hit the stumps, no runs were scored at that point. However, Stokes managed to hit the next short delivery to the square and scored four runs to continue adding points to the scoreboard. At the start of the over, Buttler made a mistake by leaning too much and attempting to cut a ball that was outside the sixth or seventh stump line. He ended up hitting the ball and it went very close to the third man before falling down on the ground.
"England Scores 167/4 With Stokes And Buttler In The Game"
Buttler scores his first runs by hitting Ackermann's delivery to cover for a couple of runs. The Dutch team has chosen to mark the boundaries with colored lines, which means England's players have to depend more on their eyes and hands instead of their feet.
Eng Leads With 164/4 And Stokes At 18, While Buttler At 0
Brook is lured in by De Leede's careful bouncer, and the Netherlands continue to slowly make progress. However, Buttler steps onto the field, urgently needing to make a score as much as England needs him to do so.
The Golden Boy made a bad decision and got caught out. The ball was too high and far away from his hitting area, making it difficult to control. He ended up hitting it off the wrong part of the bat and sending it towards square leg. The bowler, De Leede, was smart in bowling it that way. This caused the current score to be 164/4.
ENG 163/3 With Stokes And Brook Scoring 17 And 11 Respectively
Van Meekeren enters the pitch with energy, while Stokes shows off his skill with an intense back-foot drive that sends the ball flying through extra-cover for four. Van Meekeren, who recently starred in a Dutch TV show called Rentaghost, quickly bowls a cross-seamer which Stokes responds to by pulling hard, earning them two points.
Stokes And Brook Score 10 Each In ENG 155/3 Match For Players Over 25
Stokes showed some impressive skill as he gently guides the ball through the cover for a four. He then changed his position by flicking the ball through the midwicket, allowing him to take control of the match. Brook ensures he retains control of the strike by pushing the ball defensively to mid-on.
Insufficient Limb: A Hindrance
It's puzzling why Malan decided to call for a speedy run with Stokes, who only has one leg, resulting in his dismissal. However, the more significant concern is why England has a batsman in the team who only has one leg? If Stokes had left the team after playing against Australia, he could have undergone surgery on his knee sooner and had more time to recover before the Test series.
"England's Score At 149/3 With Stokes And Brook Leading"
Harry came back with a bang after being out of the game due to unfavorable selection decisions. His technique was impeccable with a high elbow and perfect timing for a boundary off Van Meekeren. He followed it up with an even better drive through cover for another four, reminiscent of a Hollywood movie scene. It was a shame that Harry was benched after scoring a top score of 66 against Afghanistan in the previous game. The selection choices were unjustified.
Stokes And Brook Score As ENG Reaches 141/3 At Over 23
If you're a big fan of Twin Peaks, you might hear the phrase "It is happening again." This is applicable to the recent events in England cricket, as they once again played it safe and cautiously with Van Beek. Stokes hit a shot to third man, Brook scored his first point with a punch through point.
I am fond of this stadium. The architect who designed the famous Rose Bowl is also behind this impressive structure. The two stadiums share similarities, such as the grandstand with two tiers and seating located beneath a walkway that encircles the field. However, this stadium is situated far from the city center, unlike the Rose Bowl. Although Pune is expanding quickly and engulfing the stadium. Moreover, the curry at the press box is unparalleled.
Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, and Liam Livingstone are great illustrations of players struggling with their 50-over batting in the World Cup. It would have been optimal for them to have played more ODIs after the Ashes. Unfortunately, there were no games scheduled for August. As a solution, they could have played some 50-over Metro Cup county matches to regain their rhythm and then progressed onto the four ODIs against New Zealand. It's all about investing in the process and seeing the rewards later on.
Eng 139/3 With Stokes And Brook At The Crease
Stokes wouldn't have reached the base, and I even question if someone as quick as Root could. Malan made a foolish decision after a good performance.
Malan was dismissed for 87 runs after he hit the ball to the cover and asked Stokes, who had a knee issue, to run with him. However, Stokes quickly warned him and he was forced to return to his crease. Edwards, after receiving a throw from Van Beek, knocked the stumps and Malan was out. The new score was 139/3 after this dismissal.
Malan Leads England To 135/2, With Stokes Contributing 1 Run - Over 21
What a surprising end to Root and England's championship. They tried to use their usual tactics, but it lacked the passion and effectiveness they usually have. Nonetheless, it's good to see Stokes getting a chance to play without being under immense pressure. Have a great time, Ben. Time is running out.
Wow! Root attempted a tricky reverse scoop shot but the ball didn't bounce as high as he expected, causing it to sneak through his legs right below his private parts and hit the wicket. He's clearly frustrated and angry about his error in judgment, giving up on the shot halfway through. This unfortunate mishap has resulted in his dismissal and the team's score is now 133/2.
"Malan Shines In ENG 132/1 With Root Trailing"
The gentlemen Stokes, Trescothick, and Mott displayed happy expressions on the balcony following Malan's powerful hit. This occurrence is not commonly seen. Dutt returns to bowl and Root quickly hits the ball for two, making use of his rapid hand speed. He then follows up with a drive towards the back foot for a single hit through mid-on. Malan also manages to score a single in a straightforward manner, while Root returns the favor. Unfortunately, Malan is unable to hit a ball aimed at his legs and is caught out. However, he was able to make it to safety before the ball was called wide.
Englands Score In Cricket: 125/1
Malan made use of his feet but had to come up with new ideas when Van der Merwe bowled a shorter ball. However, he has the strength in his forearms and skill with the bat to hit it powerfully over the midwicket boundary for a six. Shifting his weight onto his back foot, Malan swiftly hit a single behind the square leg umpire. Root also followed Malan's lead and hit a single in the same direction.
"ENG 117/1: Malan Scores 75, Root 23"
Ackerman returned to the bowling crease and delivered six balls which resulted in the batsmen hitting them straight down the ground for singles. He bowled the ball with enough length and accuracy to make it difficult for the batsmen to hit it in any other direction.
"Eng 111/1: Malan Scores 72 While Root Makes 20"
Van der Merwe assumed he had tricked Malan into taking a risky shot when he bent down on one knee to do a sweeping shot. However, Malan executed the shot perfectly and the ball sailed over the head of fielder O'Dowd who was barely inside the boundary line. It flew two rows back resulting in a six scored. Nelson was achieved after four single runs were made, following a thrilling and nerve-wracking start to the over. The players then took a break for drinks.
Eng 101/1: Over 16
There's been a substitution: Van Meekeren is leaving the field and Colin Ackermann is taking his place. The team is focusing on using more spin to try to stop the other team from scoring too many points off the medium-paced players. England manages to get five single points off the off-spinner. Root hits two of those singles towards the cover and midwicket areas in a standard rotating style, while Malan gets three singles through the cover area.
"Eng Leads With 96/1; Malan Scores 61"
Van der Merwe, as stingy as usual, doesn't allow them any space to swing their arms, so they make do with what they can, hitting small shots and gently nudging the ball for four singles.
Malan And Root Propel England To 92/1 In Over 14
Although Root had a difficult time in the last over, he still felt at ease enough to pull off a reverse scoop move. He pivoted his body 90 degrees to display his entire profile to the bowler and quickly swiped the ball over the wicketkeeper's head for four runs. In a previous match against India, Root had unsuccessfully leaned towards the offside and was caught out by Jasprit on his first ball. However, in this match, he executed a precise stroke through the midwicket area, using the center of the bat to score two runs, which could have easily been four if O'Dowd didn't dive for the ball.
The arrival of Roelof van der Merwe, the ruler of Ciderabad whose title is Maharajah, is imminent.
"Malan's 58 Propels ENG To 82/1 Against Opponent"
Giving credit to the Netherlands, the substitute bowlers have improved their performance after a poor start by the initial pair. During the game, Root managed to escape from a potential downfall as De Leede observed his approaching feet, subsequently adjusting his length and discovering a leading edge as Root closed his bat face too early. The ball flew past a diving point, and the players earned two runs.
Upon their arrival in India, the Netherlands initiated a social media drive with the aim of locating proficient net bowlers. The response was overwhelming, with a remarkable 10,000 applications received. After careful scrutiny, only four were selected. It's uncertain whether the details of the unsuccessful 9,996 applicants should have been made known; however, their bowling skills would not have been any worse!
Malan And Root Lead England To 78/1 At The Age Of 12
Malan doesn't plan his pick up shot but he hits it in advance which makes it possible for him to play a flip shot and avoid the fielder who is guarding the area in front of square. They manage to run two points. The batsman who uses their left hand hits the ball to the middle and runs to get a single point and then pulls another one. Root hits the ball and earns one point when he taps it off his pads, and even though he played a beautiful cover drive, he only earns one point because the fielder stopped the ball.
"Eng At 73/1 With Malan Scoring 53 And Root On 2"
Dutt gets replaced by Bas de Leede, who manages to prevent four points from Malan after taking a direct hit to his boot from a powerful drive. Stokes, with his impressively thick beard, finds the situation amusing and can be heard laughing from the balcony. A softer touch earns de Leede two individual points, while Root hits a beautiful cover drive that rolls along the ground to the sweeper, resulting in one extra point.
"10 Or More Runs: ENG 70/1 "
Van Meekeren takes the place of Van Beek. The tall bowler prefers a shorter length than his fellow Dutch teammate who can swing the ball. Van Meekeren surprises Root with his added bounce and Root fails to score off five deliveries after Malan scores a single to fine leg with an inside edge and his front pad.
ENG 69/1: Malan Hits Fifty, Root Adds One
As Dutt bowls, Root taps the ball for a single to open his scoring. Malan, on the other hand, loves to smash a square cut even more than a cover drive. And that's exactly what he does when Dutt delivers a poor, wide ball, which Malan effortlessly hits through point for a boundary. Then, Dutt makes the mistake of throwing another short delivery at Malan. This time, Malan pivots on his back foot and whips the ball towards the corner, scoring his half-century off just 36 balls.
"Eng Leads With 63/1: Malan Scores 45, Root At 0"
Malan is showing the opposite mentality to Bairstow, as he intends to make himself a regular at bed and breakfast establishments. He recently hit two boundaries off his pads and followed it up with an aggressive pull shot that resulted in four runs. During Van Beek’s third wide delivery, Malan was able to strike another cover drive which quickly reached the fence for another four points. Malan then added to his impressive performance by hitting his third boundary in a row during another Van Beek over, this time with a cover drive that pierced through the diving fielder's hands. He is known for his powerful cover drive and not many left-handed batters can produce a hit with as much force as Malan. It's best not to give him the opportunity to hit his signature shot.
"England's Score: 48/1 With Malan On 31 And Root At 0"
The cricket pitch seems to be in excellent condition, but Jonny missed the chance to stay and play due to a misjudgment in the ball's trajectory and his batting technique.
Malan was caught out by Van Meekeren's delivery bowled by Dutt, scoring only 15 runs. His attempt to sweep was unsuccessful as the ball bounced higher than anticipated, causing it to hit the top edge and fly straight up into the air. Van Meekeren was quick to run towards the leg slip and was able to easily catch the ball. This resulted in a fall of wicket with the team's total score at 48 for one.
I have witnessed some extremely poor new ball bowling in a World Cup. It was truly dreadful. The ball was delivered with half volleys, wides, and full tosses aplenty. Malan was undoubtedly shocked by his good fortune while Bairstow once again failed to capitalize. His performance in this World Cup thus far has been quite disheartening. It appears that there may be rain on the way as the sky behind the grandstand is turning ominously dark.
"England Dominates With A Score Of 47/0: Bairstow 15, Malan 30"
Congratulations to Van Beek for persevering with his longer deliveries despite the presence of some swing in the air. Nevertheless, the English players are able to hit the ball consistently and Malan manages to score three singles against him, including one lucky shot that grazes the edge of his bat. Meanwhile, Bairstow achieves two successful hits.
Bairstow And Malan Build ENG Innings: 42/0
It appears that it may rain soon, as per Harsha Bhogle, who is known as the Michael Fish of the commentator team. Dutt is bowling much more accurately now, and England only manages to score three singles off his bowling.
What a great way to kick off the latest cricket season in England. As I see it, England's batting woes begin right at the top. While it was a good call to omit Jason Roy, this has thrown Jonny Bairstow off his game. Being the main aggressor or even just facing the first ball doesn't come naturally to him, resulting in numerous low-scoring departures. This in turn exposes Joe Root to the new ball. Given the current circumstances, Root could perhaps be better suited to playing as an ODI No. 4, facing mainly spin bowling with open fielders instead of facing fast bowlers with close-in field placements as the No. 3 batsman.
In any case, the fast beginning of Malan may assist in resolving the issue. Bairstow can simply follow at a relaxed pace behind him, if he chooses to.
Bairstow And Malan Lead England To 39/0 In 4 Overs
Van Beek sticks to the same style and Bairstow moves slightly forward to hit the ball towards the cover for a single. Malan faces Van Beek's unstable, full-length ball and successfully places it between the bowler and stumps for a clear four. He follows this up with a controlled pull for a single. Van Beek returns to a full-length ball but it hits Bairstow's pads, allowing him to gracefully hit a leg-glance for four runs. That over showcased two classic strokes: Malan's straight drive and Bairstow's impressive shot.
Bairstow And Malan Score 29 In 3 Overs
Bairstow managed to hit the ball downwards, but unfortunately, he couldn't surpass the fielder standing near the boundary line at the square leg. He hit the ball so hard that he could only manage to take a single run. Next, Dutt, the bowler, changes his technique and approaches the left-handed Malan from the other side. Malan takes advantage of this and hits the first ball in style, which was too short and wide and goes for a four. Malan continues his good form and hits two consecutive fours in the second over, this time slicing it behind the point. England has had a great start, but unfortunately, it's not the same for the Netherlands.
Englands's Score: 20/0
Logan van Beek has the responsibility of using the second new ball and he begins by pitching a strong delivery that swings inward towards the stumps. Malan manages to dig it out with the bottom of his bat and it bounces over the wickets. Impressed by the impressive swing of the ball, Malan attempts to repeat the shot with another one in the style of Waqar, but he misses it and instead flicks a full toss from the middle and leg to hit a four. The next two balls are also not good enough and Malan adds to his impressive display of shots with two consecutive fours - one with a powerful off drive and another with a smooth cover drive.
Van Beek attempts to adjust his line and bowls two balls wide of Malan's rear end. England is looking good as they score 14 runs off his first over.
"England Dominates With 6-0 "
The player called the off-spinner is being protected by two fielders - one in the slip and another on the offside. Bairstow tries to hit the ball while standing on the back foot but he is unable to get it through to the other side for the first three balls. However, on the fourth ball, he makes a sweeping shot and scores four points. When the ball bounces too high on him, he has to use his wrists to get it in the correct direction. Bairstow then goes back to using his back foot and swings the bat horizontally to send the ball behind the point, earning him two points.
Players Out For The Game
After the singing of the anthems, it seems like there are only 1,000 individuals present in the 50,000 seating capacity stadium. Aryan Dutt, the offie player, is set to bowl the initial over like usual.
It is important to bear in mind the performance of England's batters during the first seven qualifiers when they were under pressure.
In 7 innings, Dawid Malan scored a total of 286 runs by hitting 287 balls.
Harry Brook scored 128 runs in 117 balls during a four-inning cricket match.

It was an outstanding performance by Root, who kept the bowlers under pressure throughout his innings, making it difficult for them to stop him. Overall, Root's impressive performance was a sight to behold and it showed why he is considered one of the best batsmen in the game today.
innings Jonny Bairstow's impressive score of 141 out of 165 was achieved in seven innings.

His efforts were acknowledged by the cricketing community and fans, who celebrated his achievement with great enthusiasm. England will look to build on this success and continue their winning momentum in the upcoming fixtures.
Maharashtra's Leeds
It's pretty humid in Pune (similar to Headingley, maybe check the skies at toss time instead of the ground). On the way to the match, we noticed some drops on the windshield of the media bus, even though it was still three and a half hours before the game. Getting to the stadium does involve some travel through the city, but it's a nice opportunity to see what Pune is all about. We spotted many vendors with Diwali-related goods such as fireworks, lights, flowers, and decorations. This is my first visit to Pune, which seems to be on the rise like many other Indian cities, with a significant investment in their metro system and a lot of construction taking place for new high-rise apartments.
This morning, I spotted the Australians and noticed a sleepy Marnus Labuschagne lingering around the reception area. They made the journey from Mumbai to Pune earlier today, still trying to process what many are calling the greatest innings ever. During their trip, they likely traveled on the same highway where Rohit Sharma was recorded driving his Lamborghini at speeds reaching 200 kilometers per hour. It seems he was moving faster than the bus carrying the media.
Thus far, in the three games played in Pune, the team that has been pursuing the score has emerged victorious on two occasions. For instance, Sri Lanka comfortably achieved their target of 256 runs - with 43 balls remaining- against Bangladesh. Similarly, Afghanistan chased down Sri Lanka’s total of 241 runs with ease in just 45.2 overs. However, in the third match, South Africa displayed a dominant performance by scoring an impressive 357 runs while batting first. As a result, they managed to restrict New Zealand to a meager 167 runs in only 35.3 overs, securing a comprehensive victory.

England Win Toss
We have made the choice to bat in the competition referred to as the 'European derby' by Ravi Shastri.
England have decided to swap in Gus Atkinson instead of Mark Wood, and Harry Brook in place of Liam Livingstone, meaning two changes in total to the team lineup.
Hello! England's cricket team has suffered five consecutive losses, causing them to hit rock bottom. They currently sit at the bottom of the standings, just below the Netherlands based on their net run rate. Today, they face off against the Netherlands with two objectives in mind: firstly, to avoid coming in last place and secondly, to try to climb up to eighth place with wins today and on Saturday at the Eden Gardens stadium. This would secure them a spot in the Champions Trophy in Pakistan in February 2025.
Although England can technically refer to themselves as world champions in this particular format for the next nine days, it's not much of a comfort. Even if they manage to win their final two games and maintain the same level of dignity as Australia did in 1992, it won't make their defeat any less significant. Australia's 1992 loss is considered the worst title defence in the tournament's history, not just because they lost four out of their first six games, but also because it happened on their home turf.
Numerous pieces of writing have explained what went awry and Nick Hoult’s “Death by a thousand cuts” is the most thorough investigation.
In my experience of watching England play in tournaments and on Test tours since 1975, it's dishearteningly familiar how quickly they lose confidence and suffer defeat. They used to talk a big game when in tough situations, but they've always relied on a savior to turn things around, which is rare. We expected more from this group because of their success in white-ball cricket since 2015, but they've played too few ODI cricket matches in the last four years to realize how steep their decline has been.
Despite England's struggles in the past, they have managed to defeat the Netherlands in all three World Cup meetings. Last year, they even beat them 3-0 in a game that marked Eoin Morgan's farewell. Although Morgan has been critical of the team's language recently, his accomplishments are undeniable. However, he may have stayed around too long and his performance has not been the same since his chronic back injury started to affect him. Glenn Maxwell has shown that even with mobility issues, one can still perform exceptionally well in a match. England should have prepared better to move on from Morgan's departure.
