In the latest round of Global Test League matches, England succumbed to a ten-wicket defeat in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe have now defeated England home and away in the inaugural Global Test League. Unfortunately, due to a media blackout, a full match report can’t be provided. What can be reported is that England captain Joe Root (17.33) still averages in the teens in the competition and Liam Dawson averages 8.13 with the bat and 419.00 at a strike-rate of 701.00 with the ball! On the plus side, Mason Crane does now have some Test wickets to his name. You can see him snapping up his maiden victim in the above photo.
Next up for England is a trip to India. They’ll have to up their game immensely if they’re to achieve any kind of result. The opportunity to become the first ever Global Test League Champions is slipping from England’s grasp.
