Star hospitalised after graphic injury; records shattered in Hundred demolition — Wrap

The Trent Rockets’ four-wicket victory over the Southern Brave in The Hundred was marred by a horrific ankle injury to batter Adam Hose.

The 32-year-old was taken to hospital after dislocating his right ankle while in the outfield at Trent Bridge, with the injury forcing a ten-minute delay as he received treatment.

Scans will determine whether Hose requires surgery, but recovery is estimated for between six and 12 weeks.

“We wish him a speedy recovery and will provide further updates in due course,” Worcestershire County Cricket Club said in a statement.

In Hose’s absence, the Rockets slipped to 4-60 before chasing the 141-run target with four balls to spare courtesy of a 76-run partnership between opener Tom Banton and wicketkeeper Tom Moores. Moores smacked five sixes during his 30-ball 55, while Banton contributed 49 from 38 balls.

Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who earlier claimed two wickets, sealed the victory with a six over long-on.

Earlier, Brave opener Leus du Plooy cracked a 34-ball 55 as the hosts posted 4-140 in Nottingham.

In the women’s match, the Brave defeated the Rockets by six wickets after chasing a 107-run target with two balls to spare. The Rockets collapsed to 8-55 after teenage spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman (4-13) and seamer Lauren Bell (3-16) ripped through the top order, ultimately bowled out for 106.

Opener Maia Bouchier (42 from 30 balls) and New Zealand all-rounder Sophie Devine (41 not out) guided the Brave towards victory despite an early stumble in the run chase.

Elsewhere on Saturday, the Oval Invincibles toppled the Welsh Fire by 83 runs after posting the highest score in Hundred history, smashing 4-226 in London.

Jordan Cox cleared the boundary rope ten times during his unbeaten 86 from 29 balls, receiving support from opener Will Jacks (38 from 28 balls) and all-rounder Sam Curran (34 from 18 balls). The Invincibles struck 17 sixes, a tournament record.

The Fire never looked like reeling in the target despite Jonny Bairstow’s rapid half-century, rolled for 143 in 93 balls with Tom Curran taking 4-15 from 18 balls during the run chase. Australian seamer Jason Behrendorff claimed 3-20 in another impressive performance with the ball.

In the women’s match, the Invincibles trumped the Fire by 39 runs at The Oval.

On Sunday, the Manchester Originals will host the Northern Superchargers at Old Trafford while the Birmingham Phoenix take on the London Spirit at Edgbaston.
