Tom Curran and Jack Leach star with ball as England Lions topple UAE in Dubai

03 December 2016 03:54

Tom Curran and Jack Leach combined to spark a spectacular United Arab Emirates collapse and help Keaton Jennings sign off as England Lions captain before his likely Test debut next week with a series-clinching 100-run win.

Surrey seamer Curran took five for 16, after making a valuable 40 from number seven in the Lions' 190 all out in Dubai, and Somerset slow left-armer Leach added three for seven in 6.2 overs as UAE lost their last nine wickets for 27 runs to be bowled out for 90.

Curran said: "You have some days in your career that stand out - and I'll remember this, taking five wickets for the England Lions."

The Lions will name a new captain for the last match of the series on Monday, when Jennings is due to fly to India to join the England squad in time for the fourth Test against India in Mumbai.
