Marston's Delivers The Perfect Pint Of Pedigree
The moment when the ball landed in the drink

On Saturday, 13th August during the third Test between India and England, cricketer Praveen Kumar hit a 6 which landed spectacularly in spectator Jeremy Cornwall’s pint of Pedigree!

Jeremy is now something of a local celebrity following the distribution of a slow motion video of the ‘lucky’ ball landing in his pint and the resulting social media frenzy during the test match. After seeing Jeremy’s pint spill everywhere on Saturday, Marston’s did the right thing - delivered him a fresh pint at his workplace.

Jeremy is revelling in his fifteen minutes of fame and to congratulate him, Marston’s have rewarded him with a mini cask of Pedigree.

Des Gallagher, Marketing Manager for Marston’s Beer Company says: "It’s a rare occurrence for someone to hit a 6 in a match, never mind someone catching the ball in a pint of Pedigree! It’s only fitting that we deliver Jeremy a perfect pint to make up for the spillage and reward his lucky catch. The catch certainly caused a stir and once again Pedigree was in the headlines as the official beer of the England cricket team."

England ensured India ended their tour of the country without an international win as they produced an accomplished performance to win the fifth and final One-Day International by six wickets in Cardiff to wrap up a 3-0 series win. On the day that Rahul Dravid said his goodbyes to ODI cricket, receiving a warm ovation for a stylish knock of 69, the game was finished off by England's debutant Jonathan Bairstow, who cracked an unbeaten 41 in just 21 balls.
India will hope to end an, as yet, barren tour on a positive note by winning the final One-Day International at Cardiff. Whitewashed in the Test series and winless on the limited overs leg of the tour to date, the World Cup winners will want to give Rahul Dravid a fitting one-day farewell with an authoritative performance in their last match of the summer. England, on the other hand, will want to carry on their momentum and complete a summer in which they won practically everything on a winning note.
Yorkshire's Jonathan Bairstow and Somerset's Jos Buttler have been added to England's squad for the fifth and final One-Day International against India at Cardiff. Bairstow has been called up as cover for Durham all-rounder Ben Stokes, who is struggling with a finger injury while Buttler is added as batting cover.
Stuart Broad, the England all-rounder and Twenty20 International captain, has been ruled out of the end of the international summer and the one-day leg of his side's upcoming tour of India this winter. The Nottinghamshire man tore a muscle in his right shoulder during the closing stages of India's innings in the fourth One-Day International at Lord's.
England and India tied the fourth One-Day International in dramatic circumstances at Lord's, a result which handed England the series with one game still to play. India posted 280 for five having batted as well as they had throughout the series but after a number of stoppages due to rain with both sides ahead of the Duckworth/Lewis par score at different points, England closed on 270 for eight when play was finally called off.
Ravi Jadeja scored a half-century and then took two wickets as India ran England close before finally succumbing in the third One-Day International at The Oval. Jadeja scored 78 out of India's 234 for seven - itself a fine effort having been reduced to 58 for five and after rain interrupted proceedings, England got home with seven balls to spare.
