In the ongoing unofficial Test match between England U-19 and South Africa U-19, an interesting event happened which was a bit shocking for the cricket fans. England's cricketer Aaryan Sawant was run out by Jorich Van Schalkwyk in the 31st over when the batter was well set.

However, Jorich had no intention of dismissing the batter. When the batter tried to play a slog sweep towards the short leg, Jorich was standing there. 

The ball hit the fielder and came straight back to the stumps, dismantling the bails. It was a rare incident as the ball hit Jorich quite hard, and he was injured. The team's physio was called on the field to check the player. Aaryan was batting 11 runs off 26 balls when the incident happened. The player had to return to the pavilion in a disappointment.

South Africa still need 228 runs to beat England in the first unofficial Test match. At the end of the day, they were 89 runs at the loss of two wickets. In the ODI series, the Proteas won the series, 2-1. 

Muhammed Bulbulia's terrific show continues

England scored 299 runs in the first innings, thanks to Farhan Ahmed's 90 runs. Later, South Africa's opening batter, Muhammed Bulbulia, scored a brilliant 88 runs off 163 balls in the first innings, helping the team get to 319 runs. He was supported by Jason Rowels, who scored 90 runs. For England, Farhan Ahmed claimed four wickets. He made a terrific all-round performance in the game. 

In the second innings, England scored 336 runs, giving a target of 317 runs for the Proteas to clinch victory. Now, Bulbulia is unbeaten on 40 runs in 70 balls and will play a key role on the last day.
