Pakistan offspinner Sajid Khan has found a number of ways of getting under England’s skin, from the moustache twirling to the thigh thumping that accompany borderline invasion of personal space.

Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie has admitted to “frustrations from time to time” over the reduced scope of his job, emphasising the need for clear communication.

Marnus Labuschagne says the race for the vacant Test opening spot is an open field, but insists it is fitting Steven Smith is no longer in that frame after his guaranteed switch back to No. 4 for the India series.

Toss India chose to bat vs New Zealand India missed their captain Harmanpreet Kaur due to a niggle, and in her absence Smriti Mandhana won the toss and opted to bat in the opening women’s ODI against New Zealand.

Keshav Maharaj said that he benefited from Tamim Iqbal’s advice about the Dhaka pitch.

South Africa
Lunch England 110 for 5 (Stokes 6*, Smith 5*) vs Pakistan England find themselves on the ropes at lunch on day one of the third Test against Pakistan at 110 for 5, albeit on a pitch so unpredictable it is not unreasonable to think they might yet achieve a par first-innings score.

It’s easy to forget, given all the chatter, that most of Australia’s squad for the first Test is locked in.

Mitchell Marsh fell cheaply twice against
Toss New Zealand chose to bat vs India After he lost what proved to be a good toss to lose, Tom Latham won the one that is good to win. The Pune pitch was dry, especially in the good length for the spinners. It was a no-brainer that it was a bat-first pitch. With Kane

Western Australia 332 (Inglis 101, Cartwright 65, Connolly 55) and 83 for 4 (Cartwright 39*) beat Tasmania 277 (Owen 69, Doran 66, Rocchiccioli 4-70) and 137 (Couch 4-50) by six wickets With WA chasing just 83 runs under sunny conditions early on the final day, Bancroft had a golden opportunity for a confidence boosting innings
New Zealand have played down all the talk around the Pune pitch – a slow, dry, black-soil surface is in the works – but if conditions turn out to be extreme and the ball turns square from the first day, it could favour the visitors’ spinners too. This is the assessment of their captain Tom
