Evin Lewis' blazing 91 powers West Indies to massive 256-5 and series win against Ireland
West Indies posted 256-5 after being sent in at Bready Cricket Club — propelled by an opening stand of 122 in 10.3 overs between Evin Lewis (91 runs in 44 balls) and captain Shai Hope (51 in 27).
West Indies smashed 20 sixes in total — Lewis hit eight maximums, with four each for Hope and Keacy Carty, who was 49 not out from 22 deliveries.
Ireland replied with 194-7. Ross Adair (48 in 36) and Harry Tector (38 in 25) took the total to 114-1 before Ireland was reduced to 116-4 in 12 overs.
The first and second games were abandoned because of rain.
The two teams drew a three-match ODI series 1-1 in Dublin in May, before England swept West Indies 3-0 in ODI and T20 series.
'Nice to take something back to the Caribbean,' Hope said.
West Indies will host Australia in a three-test series starting June 25 in Barbados, followed by a five-game T20 series. Australia is coming off a loss in the World Test Championship final to South Africa in London on the weekend.

West Indies skipper Shai Hope scored a 57-ball 102 against Australia in the third T20I, but Tim David's 37-ball 102 led Australia to a six-wicket win. West Indies skipper Shai Hope on Friday scored a 57-ball 102 against Australia in the third T20I of the five-match series, helping his team post 214/4 batting first, although it was trumped by a brilliant performance from Tim David, who also scored 102, but off 37 balls, to take his team to a six-wicket win.

The tally now includes seven half-centuries besides a hundred. 182 of his T20I runs have come against the Australians at an average of 45.5. This was Hope's second 50-plus score of the series. On the first delivery of the penultimate over, he went to deep point for one to reach his first T20I hundred, making 100 runs off 55 deliveries to join Gayle as the only Windies men with hundreds in all formats. But David bashed a 37-ball hundred and Australia beat the Windies by six wickets on Friday to clinch an overall win against the hosts. David smashed 11 sixes and six boundaries to finish on 102 runs off 37 balls as the Australians chased down 215 to win with 23 deliveries to spare. Australia took an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, which continues on Saturday, July 26, with another night matchup at Warner Park. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 15:43 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Tim David scores fastest T20 century for Australia in series-clinching win
BASSETERRE: Tim David scored the fastest century for Australia in a Twenty20 international which lifted the tourists to a series-clinching six-wicket win over West Indies in the third game of a five-match series on Friday. David and Mitchell Owen's unbroken 128-run stand guided Australia to 215-4 off 16.1 overs to seal the victory and an unassailable 3-0 series lead. Making the most of the small dimensions at Warner Park in David brought up his first international century from the final ball of the match with his sixth boundary. His blistering 102 not out, with 11 sixes, came from just 37 balls and bettered the mark of 43 balls set by current team-mate Josh Inglis against Scotland last year. It was also the third fastest century among ICC member nations, with only India's Rohit Sharma and South Africa's David Miller bettering the mark with 35 balls, both in 2017. "I didn't think I would have the opportunity to score 100 for Australia, so I'm so grateful for that opportunity and and pretty stoked," David said. David's fireworks overshadowed a brilliant unbeaten century by West Indies captain Shai Hope (102 off 57 balls) which featured eight boundaries and six sixes to lead West Indies to 214-4 off its 20 overs. Hope combined with opening partner Brandon King to put on 125 runs in 11.4 overs as the hosts made a rapid-fire start after losing the toss and being asked to bat first.

India vs England LIVE Score, 4th Test Day 4: Gill-Gambhir duo stare at their first series defeat together
India vs England 4th Test LIVE Score (India National Cricket Team vs England Cricket Team Match Scorecard): India face a mountain to climb on Day 4 of the 4th Test at Old Trafford. With England firmly in control, the visitors risk their first series loss of the ongoing World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. read more India vs England LIVE Score: England are in complete control of the fourth Test against India, with Shubman Gill and his team staring at a possible series defeat in Manchester. India will have to bowl England out quickly on Day 4 and then hope their batters can put up a big second-innings score, and do it fast. However, the main roadblock for the visitors right now is the dangerous Ben Stokes, who, after taking a five-wicket haul in the first innings, is now nearing a century with the bat. England captain Ben Stokes frustrated the Indian bowlers on Day 3 and will now take the crease again on Day 4 as he is looking set for a well-deserved hundred after his five-wicket heroics in the first innings. England are 7 wickets down with a lead of 186 runs, putting Shubman Gill's side under immense pressure. India need quick wickets otherwise the English tailenders have the ability to add valuable extra runs. India vs England 4th Test Day 3 LIVE Score: Former England skipper Joe Root played a brilliant innings of 150, while Ollie Pope added a solid 71 and captain Ben Stokes remained unbeaten on 77. Earlier, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett provided an explosive start to the home side after they bowled India out for 358 runs. Thanks to their efforts, England finished Day 3 with a huge total of 544/7. They are currently 186 runs ahead of India in this match and the Shubman Gill-led side faces a mountain to climb on the remaining two days. India are down and almost out of the match unless a miracle happens. Joe Root makes history Root made history by becoming the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket, going past legends like Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting. The only player ahead of him in the all-time Test run-scorers list is the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. 'Just one more to go. The way his career has gone over the last five years, there's absolutely no reason why not,' former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said when asked if Root can become the all-time No. 1 scorer in red-ball cricket. 'He's not a big one for landmarks, but I think that's a pretty cool one, second highest test runs is incredible. I'm sure he knew what the number was (that he needed) but he's not a guy who wants to shout about it,' England vice-captain Ollie Pope said.
