Nandre Burger to Jacob Bethell, FOUR, first hundred for Jacob Bethell in international cricket! He takes his helmet off, raises his arms and has a big smile on his face. He gets a big hug from Root, A standing ovation from the crowd for the talented youngster. It has been a free-flowing knock from the southpaw and he has been a treat to watch so far. Was a full-toss, Bethell backed away a bit and drove it through extra cover to reach the milestone

40.2
Maharaj to Jacob Bethell, out Stumped!! Good bowling from Maharaj and Bethell falls after a superb innings - gave it away far too early, rushed down the pitch and Maharaj saw it coming, fired it quicker and wider of off, having been completely undone in the flight, Bethell had no chance of reaching the ball - a simple stumping for Rickelton and Bethell walks off to a rousing reception from the Southampton crowd, gets a tap on his back by Maharaj, has been a stunning innings.

I am not surprised by the progress of Jofra and Jacob.
Preparation, improvement, and work ethic are the keys to success.
Jacob Bethell's mom spoke about how she would get up even when she was tired to take him to the Franklyn Stephenson academy, as well as on the tour to the West Indies. She did the same in preparation for the English tour.
Jofra is always working. Coming home is not only a vacation, but it is also to work.
Look at some of the senior guys around the region, and the flaws as a youngster remain.
Bethell had the best partner yesterday to guide him, in Joe Root.
