England`s U19 team wins against the USA, while the Lions face Australia and Women’s Ashes series raises concerns.

England`s U19 team showcased their dominance in the 2025 U19 World Cup, defeating the USA in a Group B match held in Johor, Malaysia. Winning the toss, England opted to bowl first, effectively restricting the USA to a competitive total. The USA struggled early, finding themselves at 63-3 after 13 overs, with captain-keeper Anika Kolan leading the charge. England`s Tilly Corteen-Coleman proved instrumental, taking a crucial wicket and contributing to two catches, including the dismissal of star opener Disha Dhingra for just 6 runs off 10 balls. England ultimately secured victory by eight wickets, maintaining their unbeaten streak in the tournament.

In a different arena, the England Lions faced off against Cricket Australia XI in a tour match. At stumps on the first day, the Lions stood at 53 for 1, with Ben McKinney being the only wicket to fall, scoring 32 runs. Skipper Alex Davies remained unbeaten on 15, alongside nightwatcher Jack Carson, setting the stage for a promising second day.

Meanwhile, the Women`s Ashes series saw England suffer a disappointing series loss to Australia, raising concerns about the team`s progress in the sport. This defeat marked another significant trophy loss for England, with their last Ashes victory and major trophy win occurring several years ago. The pressure is mounting for the team to reclaim their former glory.
