  1. Thats's all folkspublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 31 July 2021

    An exciting end to yet another exciting day in The Hundred.

    Four games - and the two at Headingley were both classics.

    But that's what this sport is all about whatever the name.

    A great game of cricket is a great game of cricket,

    Good night all. Please join us again tomorrow for more of the same when it's another double men and women bill of Birmingham Phoenix v Trent Rockets at Edgbaston and London Spirit v Southern Brave at Lord's.

    "We needed to get on the board and get on a winning streak. It was a great atmosphere."

    Match hero Harry Brook, speaking to Sky Sports: "Rash bowled exceptionally well and I thought he deserved it [the Match Hero award]. There weren't many runs on the board so me and Lynny were trying to tick it over. We thought we could go hard at the end. We did in the end.

    "Obviously we wanted our first win. It is nice to win, especially in front of a home crowd. I want to be a match-winner and that is a great example there."

  6. Brook finishes like Stokespublished at 20:44 British Summer Time 31 July 2021

    It's been an emotional 24 hours for Ben Stokes.

    But he would have been proud about the way his side got home without him.

    And young Harry Brook showed a bit of the Stokes spirit with an unbeaten 47 to win the man of the match award.
