In a bizarre turn of events, England have been bowled out in exactly 100 balls in back-to-back T20Is against South Africa on the eve of the second season of The Hundred.
The Hundred is set to get underway on Wednesday, with Southern Brave taking on Welsh Fire in the opening match of the tournament at the Rose Bowl. And with England's white-ball stars all set to be in action in The Hundred, they come into the tournament after failing to win a single series this summer.
After a busy run of 12 games in just 24 days, England have lost three series and drew one, with their run coming to an end with a disappointing 2-1 defeat to the Proteas. Having won the first match in stunning fashion after racking up a mammoth 234 with the bat, England's batting let them down in the final two games.
