RAWALPINDI – England out of Champions Trophy after Afghanistan defeat Omarzai’s five-fer plays vital role in Afghanistan’s victory as they defended 326-run target. Root’s century in vain Root held the chase together after England lost Phil Salt (12) and newly promoted No. 3 Jamie Smith (9) in a wobbly start to a tall chase. Omarzai knocked back the top of Salt’s stumps in his second over and England’s experiment with Smith at No. 3 didn’t work for second straight game when he skied Mohammad Nabi’s (2-57) first ball to Omarzai at backward point. Zadran leads the way The 23-year-old Zadran absorbed the pressure of losing three wickets inside the batting powerplay and anchored Afghanistan to a strong total with his sixth ODI hundred. “I wanted to bat longer and longer and that 177 is a special moment for me,” Zadran said.

Football Australia acknowledges today’s Not Guilty verdict regarding Sam Kerr and welcomes Sam’s statement. Football Australia will remind Sam Kerr of the “behavioural standards” expected of national team players after the Matildas star was found not guilty of racially aggravated harassment of a police officer.

Kerr admitted she was drunk at the time following a night out that led to her vomiting in a taxi and a window in the taxi being smashed.
