Highlights, Zimbabwe vs Ireland, 2nd T20I in Harare: IRE level series 1-1

Toss update: Ireland have won the toss and opted to bowl in the second T20I against hosts Zimbabwe in Harare.

Playing XI:

Zimbabwe: Craig Ervine(Captain), Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wesley Madhevere, Innocent Kaia, Sean Williams, Ryan Burl, Clive Madande(wk), Brad Evans, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Tendai Chatara

Ireland: Andrew Balbirnie(Captain), Ross Adair, Stephen Doheny(w), Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Tyrone Kane, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Fionn Hand, Graham Hume

Preview: Zimbabwe enter the second T20I against Ireland in Harare on Saturday, knowing a win will help them seal the series with a game to spare.

Harare-born Gary Ballance, who has previously played international cricket for England, made his Zimbabwe debut in the first T20I, scoring a match-winning 30 as Zimbabwe chased down a target of 115 with five wickets to spare.

Ireland’s batting looked far from impressive, with as many as seven batters, including Andrew Balbirnie being dismissed for single figures.

Gareth Delaney (24), Curtis Campher (20) and Stephen Doheny (15) were the only Irish batters with a two-figure mark with the bat, and if the first T20I is to go by, then the visitors need to step up their batting.

Zimbabwe’s chase was not straightforward despite the target being moderate, after they lost skipper Craig Ervine and Tadiwanashe Marumani inside the first two overs. However, Ballance, Sean Williams (34*) and Clive Madande (18*) ensured the hosts cross the finish line with seven balls to spare.

Premier League: Ben Mee's header helps Burnley register win over Crystal Palace

Ben Mee marked his 300th league appearance for Burnley by clinching a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Monday and keeping his team in an unexpected push for European qualification. A three-year wait for a goal ended for Mee with a header from Ashley Westwood’s free kick in the 62nd minute, moving Burnley up to eighth in the English Premier League — seven points from the Champions League places with six games to go. Burnley was without Jay Rodriguez — the match-winner against Watford on Thursday — and due to a lack of options Sean Dyche could replace him with only defender Erik Pieters. “Coming into the night with a depleted squad, with only one senior boy on the bench, and playing like we did tonight, it shows the character, it shows we’re together," Mee told Amazon Prime. “To get a goal is nice. I’ve had chances cleared off the line or good saves so it’s nice to finally get one in. "It wasn’t a great ball from Westy (Westwood), it wasn’t what we worked on but you’ve got...

England vs New Zealand: Joe Root aims for Black Caps and India sweep ahead of Ashes

Joe Root believes there will be no better way for England to prepare to regain the Ashes in Australia later this year than by completing a home clean sweep of New Zealand and India. The England captain will lead his side in the first of a two-match series against New Zealand at Lord's on Wednesday, with five more Tests against India before the English season is finished. India, top of the Test rankings, and second-placed New Zealand will contest the inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton, southern England, later this month. England, and many of their supporters, have long given the impression that matches against arch-rivals Australia are the only Tests that really count, with everything else a 'warm-up'. But such a viewpoint was labelled "limited, narrow and delusional" by former England captain Mike Atherton in The Times on Tuesday. Root, however, saw no conflict between England's short and long-term goals. "There's going to b...
