Timing is everything. Phil Salt would have been up for millionaire if the Indian Premier League auction was held in Dubai on Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, the unsold responded to his snub by scoring England's highest Twenty20 scores on an evening of carnage in the Caribbean. Salt also became the first England batsman to reach back-to-back hundreds in the format after a tumultuous 109 on Saturday that maintained hopes for a comeback series victory for Jos Buttler's side, smashing 119 from 57 balls.

RICHARD GIBSON IN ANTIGUA: Sam Curran roared back from his worst show in his international career to decimate West Indies' top order and propel England to a series-levelling victory at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Curran, a Surrey all-rounder, produced a new-ball spell of three for one in eight deliveries, reducing the hosts to 23 for four, three days after returning figures of 9.5-0-98-0, the most expensive by an Englishman in 53 years of one-day internationals. Both Keacy Carty and Brandon King were cut at slip in Zak Crawley, while Shimron Hetmyer, a stumbling forward, was the subject of a fruitful LBW investigation by a rejuvenated England captain Jos Buttler.

PacWest, a Los Angeles-based bank, reported on Thursday that it was considering 'all alternatives, including asset sales,' but that Tennessee-based First Horizon announced that its $13 billion merger contract with TD Bank had been terminated early on Thursday. Both regional banks' shares fell by as much as 40% in pre-market trading, while panic about stability and the possibility of contagion pummeled other regional banks. It came just hours after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell sought to assuage concerns over three banks' failures since March, claiming that "the US banking system is safe and resilient."

Brandon King, the West Indies, won the toss and chose to bat first, with Brandon King batting in a blistering 62 from 48 balls to bring them up to 146-5. However, Ireland won with 15 balls to spare thanks to Paul Stirling's half-century to boot the two-time winners out of the competition.
