The game had been billed as Eoin Morgan against Jos Buttler yet it was another England captain who stole the show before a ball was even bowled at Lord’s as London Spirit hammered Manchester Originals by 52 runs.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane took part in the toss wearing a London Spirit shirt with none other than the number 10 on his back, before taking part in a six-hitting contest on the famous outfield with his Spurs teammate Matt Doherty.
The England football captain is a keen fan of the game having taken part in numerous cricket challenges over the years and was even offered a net by England’s Test captain Ben Stokes, after Tottenham uploaded a video of the squad playing cricket in the club’s gym at their training ground.
