Chris Jordan opens up about "relentless" racist abuse after England's T20 World Cup exit

Chris Jordan has opened up about the "relentless" racist abuse he received on social media after England were knocked out of the T20 World Cup by New Zealand in November.

England were among the favourites to win the tournament, but lost their semi-final in dramatic fashion after a brilliant unbeaten 72 from Daryl Mitchell and a stunning cameo from Jimmy Neesham.

England's bowlers came unstuck at the death with New Zealand needing 57 runs to win off just 24 balls, a target they managed to reach with six deliveries remaining. And Jordan was on the receiving end of a brutal assault from Neesham in the 17th over that turned the tide in New Zealand's favour, with 23 runs coming from it.
