England Records Highest T20I Total with Phil Salt Century vs South Africa

England and South Africa are competing in a closely contested T20I series, with the third and deciding match held at Trent Bridge facing potential disruption from heavy rain. England's Phil Salt delivered a historic performance in the second T20I at Old Trafford, scoring 141 not out off 60 balls, which included the quickest century by an England batsman in any format at 39 balls, helping England post a record-breaking team total of 304-2, the highest ever in a T20 international between two Test nations. South Africa struggled in response, being dismissed for 158, leveling the series at 1-1. The series decider is expected to be another high-scoring encounter if weather permits, with England appearing to hold momentum following their dominant display. Despite the threat of rain, England's team management, led by captain Harry Brook, is balancing youth and experience, with some players like Saqib Mahmood sidelined by injury and others like Rehan Ahmed awaiting opportunities.
