Sam Curran
It may not take us lengthy to neglect England’s sequence win over Sri Lanka, such has been the gulf in school. But their younger left-armer will not – his first ever worldwide five-for and at his house floor, too.

France
Mutiny and distress amongst Les Bleus? Welcome again, it is been too lengthy. The sweat had barely dried on the brow of Kylian Mbappe following his penalty miss in opposition to Switzerland when tales of in-fighting amongst gamers and fogeys started to emerge.
