    Joburg-born England international Keaton Jennings – son of former SA wicketkeeper Ray – hit 31 off 18 balls (three fours, two sixes) in the London Spirit’s 22-run defeat to the Trent Rockets.

    Jennings continued his fine form with 61* off 50 deliveries (six fours) in the Spirit’s 12-run loss to the Manchester Originals.

    Joburg-born fast bowler John Turner – who was Hilton College’s head boy in 2019 – took 3-24 for the Trent Rockets in their nail-biting final ball-defeat to the Southern Brave.
