The Hundred 2026 results: Sam Curran leads MI London to victory over Sunrisers Leeds
The Hundred men’s competition, The Oval
Sunrisers Leeds 143 (99 balls): Marsh 41 (27); Gleeson 4-25, Curran 2-27
MI London 144-3 (84 balls): Curran 60* (39), Pooran 58* (22); Carse 2-18
MI London won by seven wickets
Sam Curran’s all-round brilliance led MI London to a convincing seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Leeds in the opening match of the men’s Hundred.
Chasing 144, Curran finished unbeaten on 60 as MI London eased to their target with 16 balls remaining.
After Brydon Carse’s fine spell of 2-18 had given Sunrisers hope, Curran added 93 from just 40 balls for the fourth wicket with Nicholas Pooran.
The destructive Pooran struck a magnificent 19-ball fifty which took the game from Sunrisers, as he clubbed five fours and five sixes in his 58 not out.
Curran had earlier taken 2-27 and seamer Richard Gleeson also impressed with 4-25 as Sunrisers were bowled out for 143.
Mitchell Marsh top-scored with 41 at the top of the order but Sunrisers struggled for momentum after his departure, though Tom Alsop’s cameo of 31 from 18 balls gave them a late boost.
England white-ball captain Harry Brook fell for eight and Sunrisers skipper Zak Crawley only managed 13.
MI London, who were previously known as Oval Invincibles prior to the private investment in the Hundred, have won the past three men’s tournaments.

We have a busy day’s racing on Thursday with Flat action from Doncaster, Newbury, Southwell and Yarmouth, live on Sky Sports Racing…
5.55 Newbury – Recent winners Victory Gold and Waasil headline
Recent winners Victory Gold and Waasil headline a field of five for this BetVictor Nursery Handicap at Newbury.
The Saeed bin Suroor-trained Victory Gold recorded a first career success when seeing off Romanza in a decent novice at Lingfield and rates a live player from an opening mark of 87.
Karl Burke’s Waasil got off the mark at the second attempt when scoring at Beverley last month, relishing the extra yardage and he must be feared under Sam James.
Richard Hannon saddles Kempton winner Duke Of Burgundy, while Flying Pirate has been gelded since he finished third at Salisbury on his last start.
2.10 Doncaster – Night Star and Jassas contest strong opener
Night Star and Jassas contest an informative opening British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Doncaster.
Dubawi-colt Jassas debuts for powerful connections at a track they have released some smart horses at this year. William Buick takes the ride and he will be expected to go close.
Richard Hannon’s Night Star built on his first start against Superlative fourth Silver Dominion when third over course and distance just over two weeks ago. That form should see him hit the frame under Sean Levey.
550,000-euro yearling, Lead The Squad debuts for George Scott and Darragh Keenan. The Sea The Stars colt is related to St Leger runner-up Crystal Ocean and is one to watch in the betting.
An interesting newcomer for the Crisfords’ is Narrjoo. He was bought for 200,000gns and is a half-brother to UAE Prince.
6.14 Yarmouth – Starfinch drops in class on handicap debut
Starfinch makes her handicap debut as she has her sights lowered in the Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap at Yarmouth.
Harry Eustace’s filly landed a Southwell novice back in January before running with credit in the Listed Spring Cup Stakes at Lingfield the following month. Last of nine in Listed company at Goodwood, she will appreciate the drop in grade.
The consistent Hardy’s Hero has been a beaten favourite in his last two races but should be bang there again, as he runs off the same mark after going down a head at Newmarket on his previous start.
Caviar Cowboy and Three Non Blondes complete the field in this exciting encounter.
Best of the rest
2.40 Doncaster – Round The Table impressed at Ffos Las and looks above average.

LeBron James: Miami Heat admit video teasing NBA legend’s return posted by mistake | Basketball News
Miami Heat have confirmed a YouTube video teasing LeBron James’ potential return was posted in error; The gaffe has fuelled speculation over the NBA superstar’s next destination, with Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers also linked after his Los Angeles Lakers exit
Last Updated: 23/07/26 7:18am
Miami Heat have confirmed a video teasing LeBron James’ potential return to the NBA franchise was posted by mistake.
A live stream titled “LeBron James Introductory Press Conference”, scheduled for July 27, was uploaded to the Heat’s YouTube channel on Tuesday night but was later deleted.
A Miami Heat spokesperson later confirmed the video was mistakenly posted in preparation for James potentially returning to the team with which he won two championships.
The error has sent the basketball world into a frenzy as it awaits confirmation of where James will play his 24th NBA season.
James’ next step has dominated the news agenda ever since the 41-year-old confirmed he would be leaving the Los Angeles Lakers after eight seasons in June.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat have all been linked with the four-time NBA MVP.
James’ long-time friend and agent, Rich Paul, stressed that time would be taken and the next move carefully considered.
“We’re not going to be rushed. It’s his choice to make and, when he makes the choice, he’ll make it,” he told the Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul podcast.
