Over in England, Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis made a move of his own, up three spots to a career-best seventh (674) thanks to his 121 in Leeds, while Harry Brook closes in on a top ten spot, moving one spot to 11th (650) thanks to a half century at The Oval. Brook sits just three rating points from Ireland’s Harry Tector (653).
Meanwhile in South Africa, Temba Bavuma’s century against Australia led to a 10-spot jump to 32nd (556), and Matthew Breetzke continues his rise in international standing, going up 19 places to 21st (607). David Miller, who too feasted with runs (142 off 93 balls in the second ODI), re-entered the rankings at 41st.
