Ireland capture England’s final six wickets for 31 runs
A fine hundred from Sophia Dunkley ensured England sealed a series clean sweep in their third ODI against Ireland at Worcester on Sunday, but not before a disappointing batting collapse.
The hosts, batting first for the first time in the series, had looked on course for a huge total after powerful ball-striking up top from Dunkley, who reached 119, and Maia Bouchier, who made 39. But the innings finished limply with the loss of their last six wickets for 31 runs, as England were bowled out for 291 in 48.5 overs.

Eurometal predicts 300,000 job losses in manufacturing in the rest of 2026 because of expanding competition from China, which is now enjoying a record €1bn-a-day trade surplus with the bloc.

MAAGDENBURG (ANP/DPA/RTR) - Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) heeft "geschiedenis geschreven" bij de verkiezingen in Saksen-Anhalt, stelt lijsttrekker Ulrich Siegmund. De radicaalrechtse partij kan volgens Duitse media rekenen op zeker 44 procent van de stemmen.
Dat zou het beste resultaat voor de anti-immigratiepartij zijn sinds de oprichting in 2013. "We steken de hand uit naar alle democratische partijen die samen beter beleid willen maken", zei hij in Maagdenburg, de hoofdstad van Saksen-Anhalt. Volgens hem valt er niet te onderhandelen over onderwerpen als migratie en veiligheid in Duitsland.
Siegmund zei eerder dat het zijn doel is om genoeg zetels te winnen om een regering te vormen zonder afhankelijk te zijn van coalitiepartners. Vrijwel alle partijen sloten voorafgaand aan de verkiezingen samenwerking met de AfD al uit. Alleen de linkse BSW deed dat niet, maar het is nog niet duidelijk of die partij de kiesdrempel heeft gehaald.
