He looks like a club player, Travis Head. He's not Ricky Ponting. But he scores at an incredible rate, in an unorthodox way.

Is there are a better batter in the world than Travis Head at the moment? He looked totally untroubled during that 154, his sixth ODI ton, and to be fair he's good to watch.
And his 'tache is a throwback to when David Boon was playing.

BBC Sport at Headingley
It's September but England's men are finally about to take to the field for a cricket match in the north in 2024. Yes, I know there was a Test in Manchester.
The Aussies are wandering around in their woolly hats. It still feels like a classic cool, overcast Headingley morning.
Good toss to win, I reckon.
England v Australia (11:00 BST)
Australia captain Mitchell Marsh: "We would have bowled first with the overheads but we are happy to bat.
"We are blessed to have Travis Head, he has been in incredible form and long may that continue."
England v Australia (11:00 BST)
England captain Harry Brook: "We're going to have a bowl. I think when Jos has been in charge he's liked chasing, he's always had such a powerful batting unit, so hopefully we can put pressure on the bowlers and chase it down.
"Usually at Headingley the pitch has got a little bit in it but that changes with very quickly with the white ball, I'm sure it'll go pretty flat, pretty soon."
On whether his side will keep the same approach: "Exactly the same, keep coming, potentially come harder, put pressure on their bowling unit and carry the momentum from the first part of the last game's innings into today."
England v Australia (11:00 BST)
One change for England, with Olly Stone replacing Jofra Archer.
England: Salt, Duckett, Jacks, Brook (c), Smith, Livingstone, Bethell, Carse, Stone, Potts, Rashid.
Australia have brought back Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood with Dwarshuis, Abbott and Green missing out - making a strong team look even stronger
Australia: Short, Head, Marsh, Smith, Labuschagne, Carey, Maxwell, Hardie, Starc, Zampa, Hazlewood.
England v Australia (11:00 BST)
Mitchell Marsh calls heads but it is tails, and Harry Brook says England will bowl.

Good morning!
There are many ways to describe the way England lost to Australia at Trent Bridge, with 'thrashing' probably being the kindest. But it's a new day, and England have conjured up some storied wins over Australia at Headingley down the years so let's see what gives today, eh?
