Watch: Five wickets in final over! Epic club match ends in dramatic tie in England
Cricket fans witnessed one of the most dramatic finishes in recent memory as Marple CC lost five wickets in the final over, needing just one run to win, and ended up tying the match against Bramhall CC in the Cheshire County Cricket League on Saturday, July 12.
In a gripping 2nd XI clash at the Michael Hibbert Cricket Ground, Marple were cruising towards a comfortable win, chasing Bramhall's total of 201. With the score at 201/5 in the final over, the equation was simple: one run to win, five wickets in hand. But what followed was nothing short of extraordinary.

Josh Patel turned hero for Bramhall, taking four wickets in four balls — a stunning hat-trick followed by an lbw — to suddenly reduce Marple to 201/9.
His victims included Andrew Wild, Joel Greasley, Edward Skelton, and Ben Bailey.

With two balls remaining, Marple captain James Hirst walked in as the last batter. He tapped his first ball into the off-side and went for the winning run. But Andy Tatton fielded sharply and threw it to wicketkeeper Ed Gray, who completed a clean run-out of non-striker Greg Marsland to tie the game in unbelievable fashion.
Only four of the five wickets were captured on video — but the footage, which has since gone viral, captures the chaotic, thrilling nature of grassroots cricket at its best.

The tie earned both teams eight points, along with additional batting and bowling bonus points.

Cal Raleigh makes Derby history: Here's what the iconic chain is worth and how much he earned in prize money
(Image Source - Getty Images) Cal Raleigh's victory in the Home Run Derby was about more than just a trophy. Sporting a flashy chain and holding $1 million, the Mariners catcher marked a vital milestone in his career. This chain, specially designed each year to reflect the theme of the host city, weighed nearly two pounds and symbolized a long-standing tradition. For Raleigh, that night was filled with pride, history, and a huge financial reward. Cal Raleigh wore the 2025 chain proudly during the trophy ceremony The Home Run Derby chain is custom-crafted, frequently showing diamonds and precious gems that align with the host city's theme. In 2024, the Texas-inspired chain flaunted more than 500 diamonds and had a weight of about 2 pounds. While the MLB doesn't publish an official value, experts are able to give an estimate. According to jewelry analysts who spoke to Sports Illustrated, the 2023 chain, which has more than 1,000 stones, is estimated to be worth around $50,000. The 2024 model, though it has slightly fewer stones, is expected to be in a similar price bracket, likely in the tens of thousands, due to its craftsmanship and materials. Raleigh's grin was impossible to miss as he sported it during the trophy presentation, 'It's heavy, but it feels great,' he told ESPN's Karl Ravech on-air. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo It's a keepsake he'll treasure as much as the title itself.

IND vs ENG: 'Find a new...' - Nasser Hussain highlights what India are missing after narrow loss at Lord's
Shoaib Bashir celebrates dismissing Mohammed Siraj (Photo by) India's gut-wrenching 22-run loss to England at Lord's on Monday has reopened the debate around the absence of Virat Kohli from the Test setup. Chasing a modest target of 193, the visitors crumbled to 170 all out despite a heroic, unbeaten 61 from Ravindra Jadeja . As the dust settles, attention inevitably shifts back to the void left by India's former No. 18. Former England captain Nasser Hussain , speaking on commentary during the gripping final day, echoed the sentiment felt by many fans. 'No Virat Kohli today. India needs to find a new one. The old one has retired. He was the king of the run chase,' Hussain remarked on air. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! This five-Test series marks the first time since 2011 that India are touring England without Kohli. Both he and Rohit Sharma called time on their Test careers earlier this year, just days before the squad was announced. Naturally, speculation brewed about how India's batting would hold up without two of its most experienced heads. Those doubts seemed to fade early in the series as Shubman Gill 's team made an impressive start. Centuries from four of the top five batters, coupled with Rishabh Pant 's aggressive form, temporarily silenced any questions about the leadership transition. India vs England: India fall short at Lord's, England lead series 2-1 However, at Lord's, those murmurs returned with force. The top-order collapse exposed the kind of temperament and experience that Kohli had brought to these tricky fourth-innings chases for over a decade. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 고현정 따라해 2주만에 몸무게 뚝..! "체지방'만 싹~ 빠졌어요!! 체지방 집중감소 新물질 더 알아보기 Undo Even as Shubman Gill shows signs of maturing into his role as captain, and Pant continues to deliver with the bat, comparisons with Kohli are hard to escape. Gill's animated exchanges with Zak Crawley over time-wasting hinted at his growing aggression, but it also reminded many of Kohli's animated on-field presence — a signature trait fans admired and rivals noted. Poll Do you think Shubman Gill has the potential to fill Kohli's shoes as a leader? Yes, definitely Maybe, with time No, he can't Ultimately, what India missed the most on Day 5 was not Kohli's aggression or aura, but his batting. In a chase that required a calm head and experience under pressure, Kohli's absence was felt in every misjudged shot and nervy defence. With England now leading the series 2-1, India face a crucial task ahead. The fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester begins on 23 July, and the team management will be eager to regroup, reassess and respond. Whether someone steps up to fill the Kohli-sized void remains the biggest question hanging over this promising but inconsistent Indian side. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

Portrush is ready for Rory-Lowry mania
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy (Malcolm Mackenzie/PA via AP) Portrush, N Ireland: The 153rd edition of the Open was a sellout long back; almost six months ago, say some. Then came Northern Ireland's favourite son Rory McIlroy's career grand slam with the dramatic Masters victory at Augusta National. Add to that, the winner last time at Portrush in 2019 was Irishman Shane Lowry, a win that played a big role in the quick return of the Open to Portrush in six heady cocktail of Rory, Lowry and Portrush has turned the 2025 Open into a mania like never before. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The town, which had a little over 6,150 people as per the 2021 census, is hoping to welcome almost 280,000 people. Organisers said almost 1.1 million people applied in the public ticket ballot last year, with 278,000 securing tickets across the practice days and four tournament days. That was about 41,000 more than attended the 2019 Open, which was the first time the Open had been played in Northern Ireland since the record, the highest attendance at an Open came in 2022 at St Andrews when 290,000 attended the 150th staging of the tournament. Rooms are just not available in this tiny seaside resort of Portrush, where there are three sandy beaches – the West Strand, the East Strand and White Rocks.

The main part of this stunningly pretty town is the railway station, which has an imperious tower clock indicating its proud presence. Nearby are most of its hotels, now sharing the space with the omnipresent bed-and-breakfast places and alongside are the restaurants and bars on the Ramore Head. The tip of this one-mile peninsula points northwest and on it lies Portrush's busiest area. Yet, the best-known landmark of Portrush is the Royal Portrush Golf Club, the only golf club outside of Great Britain to have hosted the Open — in 1951, in 2019 and now. The organisers are confident they can manage McIlroy–Lowry mania. A special monitoring cell will keep an eye on all that happens at the venue and in the town, and yet none of it is obtrusive and neither does it take away the fun that golf fans hope to have. Sometime back, the R&A chief executive Mark Darbon, who oversees his first Open, acknowledged that the prospect of McIlroy teeing off on home turf at Portrush as a Masters champion, who had completed a career slam, added to the excitement. 'I think it's brilliant for the sport of golf, not just our own championship,' Darbon had commented. The clamour for tickets had reached a feverish pitch even before McIlroy had completed his career Slam at Augusta. Over the years, the Open has positioned itself as more than just a golf event. It is not just the world's oldest golf major, but is probably one of the biggest sporting majors in the world. An independent forecast by the Sport Industry Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University estimates the 2025 Open at Portrush will generate more than £213 million in total economic benefit for Northern Ireland. That would make it the biggest sporting event ever staged in the region. It could also pave the way for a future Open's return to the island of Ireland and the possibility of holding a future Open at Portmarnock near Dublin.
