Brook’s woeful england battered by the boks
ENGLAND suffered a double-quick drubbing as they were blown away by South Africa in the opening Metro Bank ODI at Headingley.
A criminally slack batting performance, topped off by a horrible run out mix-up which cost them the wicket of captain Harry Brook, saw them crash to defeat with almost 30 overs to spare.
From 102-3, England lost their last seven wickets for 29 runs in the space of just 44 balls. They did not even make the halfway point of their innings.
South Africa, kick-started by Aiden Markram's rapid 86, passed the total with one ball of the 21st over remaining for the loss of three wickets. Two of those fell with the scores level.
