  • England now must win the dead rubber in Southampton on Sunday to avoid a home ODI series clean sweep for the first time since 2006, increasing pressure on selectors and leadership amid ongoing white-ball struggles.
  • Despite scrutiny, Jacob Bethell produced an aggressive 58 amid red-ball cricket scrutiny, showcasing his ability to thrive under pressure and challenging England's selectors and coaching staff.
