Cricket Australia XI vs South Africa, T20 Practice Match

RSA 201/5 (20.0 Ovs)
CAXI 160/7 (20.0 Ovs)

South Africa won by 41 runs
 
Just watched a bit of the England Sri Lanka test. What an epic 10th wicket stand! Some of the best test cricket I have watched in a while. Sam Curran and Anderson put on over 60 runs at more than a run a ball to rescue the England innings a bit. Was fun to watch. Some shocking fielding from the Lankans though, two dropped catches on Curran.
 
Nitish has been rummaging in the stats cupboard: "The last time a team's captain came out to bat at no.11 (excluding those injured) was way back in 2001--Waqar Younis vs England."

Test match is turning into a nice scrap.
 
ENG 290
SL 336-all out

Sri Lanka lead by 46 runs

Valuable lead I reckon

** England will come out to bat for one over :unsure:
 
Plenty of good cricket today. New Zealand take on Pakistan in a test match at Abu Dhabi. New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat.

Pakistan : 1 Imam-ul-Haq, 2 Mohammad Hafeez, 3 Azhar Ali, 4 Haris Sohail, 5 Babar Azam, 6, Asad Shafiq, 7 Sarfraz Ahmed (capt & wk), 8 Hasan Ali 9 Bilal Asif, 10 Mohammad Abbas, 11 Yasir Shah

New Zealand: 1 Jeet Raval, 2 Tom Latham, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Ross Taylor, 5 BJ Watling (wk), 6 Henry Nicholls, 7 Colin de Grandhomme, 8 Neil Wagner, 9 Ajaz Patel (debut), 10 Trent Boult, 11 Ish Sodhi
 
Erasmus in Eng v SL has SL call for a review and a couple of balls later Eng reviews. Both reviews were absolute howlers. First one was not out to a ball that hit the pad outside off. The second was out hitting the middle of middle.

The good news is that reviews are all gone. England 109/4.
 
England 324/9 and lead by 278. Bad light stopped play. Good ton by Root put them in a very good position.

Edit: This is stumps day 3.
