37 h. ago Brendon McCullum labels upcoming Ashes as ‘biggest series of all of our lives’

England head coach hails ‘box office’ Jofra ArcherStokes and Wood ‘progressing well’ after injuriesBrendon McCullum has ramped up the Ashes hype ahead of this winter’s trip to Australia, describing England’s pursuit of the urn they last won a decade ago – and have brought back from the Antipodes just once since 1986-87 – as “the biggest series of all of our lives”.England returned to international action last week for the first time since a thrilling five-Test series against India concluded in early August, and though they lost to South Africa over three one-day internationals that run ended with a historic, one-sided victory in Southampton on Sunday. A spellbinding performance in that game from Jofra Archer, who took four wickets for 18 runs – “There was an ‘ooh’ or an ‘aah’ every single over,” he said afterwards – set imaginations racing with thoughts of what the injury-prone seamer might achieve in more high-profile assignments to come.

55 h. ago Jofra Archer stars as England power to record ODI win against South Africa

3rd ODI: England, 414-5, bt South Africa, 72, by 342 runsJacob Bethell and Joe Root score centuries to set up rout What even was this? What does any of it mean? In an extraordinary, bewildering, borderline nonsensical game, England romped to their fifth-highest total of all time before they skittled South Africa for their second-lowest to win by the largest margin in the history of the format – the teams divided in the end by 342 runs.For the home side this was every bit as ecstatic as the grizzly defeat in the series opener had been miserable, as centuries from Jacob Bethell – the very first of his career – and Joe Root – not his – helped England to post 414 for five, and were followed by a magnificent display with the ball from Jofra Archer as South Africa lost all nine wickets – their captain, Temba Bavuma, unable to bat because of a calf strain – for just 72.

55 h. ago England beat South Africa by 342 runs for biggest winning margin in men’s ODI history – as it happened

Jofra Archer, Joe Root and Jacob Bethell star for England as they inflict a record ODI win on South Africa in SouthamptonAn interesting chat between Nick Knight, Shaun Pollock and Mike Atherton. Athers says that England are trying to bring the ODI and Test teams together whilst treating the T20 side as a different entity. That’s sensible on paper, he says, but brings a “real challenge because of the amount and volume of Test cricket England play. They are going to have to be quite strong about where their players play franchise cricket.”South Africa: Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Temba Bavuma (capt),Matthew Breetzke, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Wiann Mulder, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Codi Yusuf, Nandre Burger.

Weak market conditions, US tariffs and downbeat client confidence blamed for drop in factory ordersOuch! The UK manufacturing sector shrank again last month, as factories were hit by weaker demand at home and abroad.The latest monthly poll of purchasing managers across Britain’s manufacturing sector found that new orders and new export business both fell at quicker rates in August, leading to another drop in production volumes.“Production volumes are still showing resilience in the face of global geopolitical uncertainty and US tariff policies, with both July and August having seen only slight contractions that were milder than those suffered earlier in the year. Business confidence has also lifted to a sixmonth high, reflecting hopes that the trading environment is starting to settle down.However, August also saw a steep drop in UK manufacturers’ new orders, with total order books and overseas demand both falling at some of the fastest rates seen over the past two years.
