England complete T20 series clean sweep to continue Harry Brook's winning start
Harry Brook made it six of the best as England's white-ball captain, wrapping up a second series sweep over the West Indies with a 37-run win Southampton. Having whitewashed the tourists 3-0 in the ODIs, Brook's men did it again in the T20 leg to cap a triumphant start for the new limited-overs skipper. The tone was set with a breakneck opening partnership of 120 in just 8.5 overs between Jamie Smith (60) and Ben Duckett (84), paving the way for a towering total of 248 for three – equalling the record score on English soil. A record-breaking night in Southampton! 💥 IT20 series sweep secured 🔒 Match Centre: — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 10, 2025 The tourists never got to grips with a chase of that magnitude but still made 211 for eight, Rovman Powell's unbeaten 79 coming too late to make a difference. With the series already secure, England had nothing to lose and their top-order pair batted with abandon in a powerplay that brought 83 wicketless runs. Duckett was a bundle of energy at the crease, skipping around and stepping inside the line to cue up a vast array of strokes. The bowlers struggled to find a safe area to bowl and captain Shai Hope could not plug enough gaps in the field as Duckett reversed his hands, stepped outside off to open up square leg and carved anything short over the in-field. When Alzarri Joseph tried to sharpen him up with a first-ball bouncer, he casually swatted it for six. Smith's tactics were more streamlined but no less effective, with an emphasis on big, bludgeoned shots down the ground. Duckett won the half-century sprint, bringing it up off just 20 balls, but Smith was just a couple behind. He hurried to his first T20 fifty for England with three sixes in four balls off an outmatched Romario Shepherd, with one particularly dazzling blow on the up over extra cover. His attack ended after 26 brutal balls when he leaned back and hit Gudakesh Motie to Shimron Hetmyer on the boundary, for once lacking distance. Smith was only given his chance at the top of the order due to Phil Salt's paternity leave, but the role already feels like his to lose. The reward for removing him was the arrival of the series top run-scorer, Jos Buttler, who announced himself by rocking back and hammering Joseph over the crowd and into the concourse in front of the fast-food vans. Buttler perished after skying a wide ball from Sherfane Rutherford and Duckett saw a first century evade him when he lost his leg stump to Akeal Hosein, but the runs kept flowing. Brook hit 35no, including eight off the last two balls to level Australia's record score at the same ground in 2013, while Jacob Bethell produced another electric cameo worth 36no from only 16 balls. That included three mighty sixes in succession off Motie and a wonderfully inventive reverse flick to deep third. It looked a tall order for an brow-beaten West Indies and so it proved, Luke Wood and Liam Dawson taking care of the openers Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles in single figures. Hetmyer smashed three sixes as he burned brightly and briefly, attempting a fourth off Bethell's left-arm spin but finding the fielder. Hope went down fighting with 45 before being bounced out by Brydon Carse and Powell took a hefty chunk out of the winning margin, but the chase never quite caught fire.

Rangers will never suffer Crystal Palace UEFA sweat as SFA chief makes dual ownership rules clear
Mike Mulraney explains that Ibrox takeover as well as Hearta and Hibs deal meet key criteria set by Hampden beaks Mike Mulraney insists the SFA would never allow dual ownership where it could cost clubs a place in Europe. Co-Leeds United investor, the 49ers group, has just bought a minority share in Rangers, similar to Brighton owner Tony Bloom at Hearts and Bournemouth's holding company Black Knight who have put money into Hibs. SFA chiefs have given these deals the green light but only because they are minority investments in the Scottish clubs. English FA Cup winners Crystal Palace are sweating on their European inclusion for next season because they also have control of French side Lyon. Mulraney said: 'We make sure if ever there is a contention about a dual-ownership model whereby the Scottish club would be seen as subordinate, that cannot be. You can't get investment rights unless you agree the Scottish club is never subordinate. 'In the event UEFA said, 'these two clubs can't play in the same competition, we've changed the rules', nobody really thought about it. The SFA ensures that the Scottish club is never subordinate.'

England equal highest EVER T20 score in this country as Harry Brook's side complete clean sweep over West Indies with dominant victory
Harry Brook made it six of the best as his England side equalled the biggest Twenty20 international score in this country in a landslide win over West Indies in Southampton. Career-best contributions from Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith set the platform for a total of 248 for three, matching the runs made by Australia against England on this ground 12 years ago. Earlier this year, the Jos Buttler era ended with 10 defeats in 11 white-ball internationals, but Brook has flipped such form on its head since inheriting the captaincy baton, winning every one of his half a dozen matches to date. There will be tougher challenges ahead. This was a West Indies team missing the injured Andre Russell and permanently without their premier batsman following Nicholas Pooran's retirement from international cricket on the eve of this contest. But there was no let-up in England's intensity: they refused to give squad players a run-out by keeping the same XI and embarked on clearing the not insignificant boundaries at the Utilita Bowl. Between them, they struck 15 sixes. In sharing 120 for the first wicket inside nine overs, Duckett and Smith provided a masterclass in hitting the ball to parts of the field where fielders were not. Duckett registered England's fourth fastest 50 and kept going when a chance burst through Shimron Hetmyer's hands at extra cover soon afterwards. That was the second time in the innings that the left-hander had mangled a fielder's fingers: Alzarri Joseph forced off the field to be strapped up after intercepting a half chance in his follow through. Mostly, though, the Windies watched balls flying over their heads as England piled up their second best tally in this format, behind the 267 for three they made when these two teams met in Trinidad 18 months ago. Phil Salt's second century in as many matches sparked the pyrotechnics that night, but he may have been forgiven for regretting his decision to skip this series for paternity leave after his stand-in Smith belted 60 off just 26 deliveries here. England's innovation reached new levels: Buttler flipped his fourth ball 100 metres over fine leg and then wedged a one bounce four inside-out with one of the more extraordinary shots of an extraordinary innings. Top of the lot, however, belonged to Jamie Smith, who followed bringing up a maiden 50 in T20s for England with successive sixes over long-on by slapping a third in the over from Romario Shepherd over extra cover off the front foot. Generally, spin proved harder to hit, but Jacob Bethell challenged the theory with three successive sixes off Gudakesh Motie towards the death. And England used pace off the ball as their main weapon with Adil Rashid coming back from rare punishment in Bristol at the weekend with two for 30.
