Morris had taken his first two ODI wickets in a fiery spell to leave West Indies in tatters, before they were eventually bowled out for 86. But three balls into the fifth over of his first spell, having claimed 2 for 13 with a maiden, he felt pain in his left side, and immediately grabbed
Mayank Agarwal has received a fitness clearance to return to cricket after missing the previous round (fifth) of the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy following a health emergency.

Ben Stokes has questioned the DRS for giving Zak Crawley out lbw but does not believe it was the reason England lost the second Test in Visakhapatnam. India levelled the series 1-1 with victory by 106 runs on day four, bowling the tourists out for 292 in pursuit of 399. Just as in the first
India rode on individual brilliance to level the series against England in Visakhapatnam. Yashasvi Jaiswal made a double-century in the first innings, but the next highest score was only 34. Jasprit Bumrah blew England away with reverse swing even as the spinners were struggling to make headway. Then Shubman Gill broke out of a poor

Jasprit Bumrah finished the Visakhapatnam Test against England with nine wickets – 6 for 45 and 3 for 46 – to help India draw level at 1-1 in the series. The highlight of his performance was the yorker that swung into Ollie Pope and uprooted his middle and leg stumps in the first innings. “As
India drew level in the five-match series with a 107-run win over England in Visakhapatnam, but the batting performance remains an area of concern. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a double-century in the first innings and Shubman Gill hit a hundred under pressure in the second, but no other batter could get a big score. Captain Rohit
It proved to be the case, but Ben Stokes says at no point did his side believe their lofty fourth-innings target in the second Test against India was too many. Still needing 332 of the 399 set by the hosts, captain Stokes and his team began the fourth day in Visakhapatnam with the trademark self-belief
Shubman Gill has admitted to feeling nervous and under pressure going into the second Test against England in Visakhapatnam where he scored 34 in the first innings – India’s second-highest score – and, more crucially, 104 in the second innings to help set a match-winning target of 398. “I’ll sum it up in one line.
New Zealand have called all the shots so far in the Mount Maunganui Test, and go into day three with a lead of 431 to boot. However, Kane Williamson is not getting carried away just yet, and has called on his team to “maintain their discipline and play the long game” as they look to
Sri Lanka 439 (Mathews 141, Chandimal 107, Naveed 4-83) and 56 for 0 (Karunaratne 32*, Madushka 22*) beat Afghanistan 198 (Rahmat 91, Vishwa 4-51, Asitha 3-24) and 296 (Ibrahim 114, Jayasuriya 5-107, Asitha 3-63) by ten wickets Sri Lanka’s use of the second new ball sent Afghanistan tumbling to a ten-wicket defeat on day four.

There are no spare batters left in Australia’s squad after Travis Head was sent home to rest following the first ODI at the MCG.

England 67 for 1 (Crawley 29*, Duckett 28) and 253 need another 332 runs to beat India 396 and 225 (Gill 104, Axar 45, Hartley 4-77, Rehan 3-88, Anderson 2-29) Ludicrous though it may sound, the chase is on. No team has ever hunted down a target of 399 to win a Test match in
They will perhaps be glad to know that an opposition centurion has given them and their attack a top rating. Dinesh Chandimal, who made 107 on Saturday as Sri Lanka established a 241-run lead, said Afghanistan’s bowlers – who have played fewer than five Tests collectively – bowled far better than their experience suggests. “You’ve
Shubman Gill broke out of a run of poor form in Test cricket with his third century, against England in Visakhapatnam. Until this innings – 104 off 147 balls – he had crossed 35 only once in the last 12 innings. Considering that at some point – even if not in this series – that
Three ODIs in five days are making Australia’s selectors rotate their pace bowlers against West Indies, but Sean Abbott doesn’t want to hear a word about resting in Canberra on Tuesday because he knows how hard he must fight to get a place in the team. Abbott produced a starring all-round performance at the SCG,
Sri Lanka’s team manager confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that Gunasekara, 24, was taken to hospital for further assessment after leaving the field. Sri Lanka cricket later confirmed Gunasekara would remain under observation for 24 hours.

It meant, after bowling two overs to start the day’s play, England were short a bowling option. Nevertheless, they rallied to dismiss India for 255, with the inexperienced spin trio of Tom Hartley, Rehan Ahmed and Shoaib Bashir combining for eight wickets to limit England’s target to 399 to win in Visakhapatnam for an unlikely
