The 27-year-old actor, known for his portrayal of the iconic superhero, reportedly sustained a mild concussion on Friday, leaving fans and Hollywood insiders worried about the future of the highly anticipated film.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Holland’s injury occurred while filming at Leavesden Studios in Watford, Herts, where the production of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been in full swing. The actor was quickly attended to by medical professionals, and an ambulance was called to the scene. A spokesperson for the East of England Ambulance Service confirmed that Holland was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. While initial reports suggest the injury is not life-threatening, it remains unclear how long Holland will be sidelined from filming.

The Spider-Man franchise has always been a fan favorite, and with Spider-Man: Brand New Day set to hit theaters on July 31st, 2026, the timing of this injury could raise concerns about potential delays.

For now, it remains to be seen when filming will resume and whether the injury will cause any disruptions to the film’s release. One thing is for certain: Tom Holland’s health is the top priority, and fans are hoping to see him back in action soon.

It was supposed to be a fresh chapter for England in the one-day arena, but the series opener against South Africa turned into a nightmare. All eyes were on young debutant Sonny Baker, but instead of a dream start, he found himself the target of Aiden Markram’s blistering assault, as the Proteas romped to a seven-wicket win with 175 balls to spare.

England’s batting, so often criticized for inconsistency, completely unraveled. Bowled out for just 131 in 24.3 overs, they never recovered from the early loss of Ben Duckett and the cheap dismissals that followed. Only Jamie Smith showed any resistance, carving out a battling 54 before a brilliant catch from Corbin Bosch ended his fight.

The real destruction, however, came from Keshav Maharaj. Officially ranked the ICC’s No.1 ODI bowler, Maharaj dismantled England’s middle order with a mesmerizing spell of 4 for 33. In just 33 deliveries, he reduced a strong batting lineup to rubble, ensuring the hosts collapsed spectacularly, losing their last seven wickets for only 29 runs.

Even fielding was a reminder of the gulf between the two sides. Temba Bavuma’s men produced sharp catches and run-outs, with Markram himself diving to remove Jofra Archer and Tristan Stubbs firing in a pinpoint throw to dismiss Harry Brook.

Brook later admitted England had no excuses, despite their rushed preparation following the Hundred final just 48 hours earlier. “We’re not a team that makes excuses,” he told reporters. “We’ve just got to crack on and put that performance behind us.”

For Baker, the day will be remembered with mixed emotions. Thrown the new ball in his very first ODI, he was pummelled for 56 runs in his first four overs, with Markram plundering 45 of them. To his credit, the 20-year-old returned for a second spell and showed resilience, but by then the damage was long done. Brook defended his teammate: “He got a bit of tap at the start but the way he kept cracking on and digging deep was awesome to see.”

England could have clawed back some control had fortune favored them. An edge from Ryan Rickelton fell inches short of Joe Root, and a subsequent lbw shout against the opener was not reviewed despite clear evidence in Archer’s favor. Small margins went against them, but it was the larger collapse that defined the day.

South Africa’s preparations had looked shaky, arriving from a long trip via Australia, Singapore, and London, but once on the field they looked sharper, fresher, and vastly superior. For England, jet lag wasn’t the excuse—it was poor application, poor execution, and the kind of collapse that has haunted them for years.

The series is far from over, but unless England rediscover discipline with both bat and ball, Markram’s statement innings and Maharaj’s ruthless spell could set the tone for another chastening campaign.

In a night that will be remembered in South African cricket history, 21-year-old Dewald Brevis produced an electrifying unbeaten 125*, guiding his team to a commanding 53-run victory over Australia in Darwin and levelling the three-match T20I series 1-1.

Brevis’ innings was nothing short of spectacular. His hundred came off just 41 balls — South Africa’s second-fastest T20I century — and he became the youngest South African to score a ton in the format. With 12 fours and eight towering sixes, Brevis scored 96 of his runs in boundaries, dominating the Australian attack with clean, fearless hitting.

The young star, who already owns the domestic record for the highest T20 score of 162, showed his class once again. More than half of his runs (66) were struck in the ‘V’ straight down the ground, including six sixes. Partnering with Tristan Stubbs, Brevis piled on 91 of the 126 runs in their fourth-wicket stand, turning the innings into a one-man show after South Africa had stumbled to 57 for 3 in the seventh over.

Australia’s bowlers had few answers. Four of their five conceded at over 11 runs per over, with only Ben Dwarshuis keeping things in check, giving away just 24 runs in his four overs. But Brevis’ acceleration in the 12th over against Glenn Maxwell was the defining moment — smashing three massive sixes and collecting 24 runs in the over.

By the time Brevis brought up his hundred with a pull shot off Dwarshuis, the scoreboard had already tilted heavily in South Africa’s favour. They finished on 218, their highest ever T20I score against Australia.

Australia’s chase never truly threatened. Despite Tim David’s blistering 50, which included a monster six over the stadium roof, the hosts fell behind the asking rate. David’s dismissal to Kagiso Rabada at 104 for 3 in the 10th over was the turning point. From there, wickets tumbled and the chase fizzled out at 165.

Teenage left-arm seamer Kwena Maphaka and allrounder Corbin Bosch claimed three wickets each, sealing South Africa’s biggest margin of victory over Australia in T20Is.

Fielding, often South Africa’s Achilles’ heel, was sharper this time. Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Nqabayomzi Peter took key catches, and Brevis himself held on to a sharp chance to dismiss Maxwell.

The series now heads to Cairns for Saturday’s decider, with momentum firmly in South Africa’s corner. If Brevis can carry even half of this form into the final game, Australia’s bowlers could be in for another long night.
