Asia Cup final in Dubai. Babar, currently the second ranked Twenty20 (T20) batsman in the world behind team mate Rizwan, managed only 68 runs in six innings and his form would be a concern ahead of the 20-overs World Cup in Australia beginning next month. "If someone looks at his batting, you'd just say he's unlucky, especially the way he's getting out," Saqlain said after their 23-run defeat by Sri Lanka.

England's Stuart Broad proud to be in company of 'hero' Glenn McGrath
Stuart Broad said he was proud to have surpassed the Test-wicket tally of boyhood hero Glenn McGrath as England closed in on a series win over South Africa at The Oval. Broad captured the prize scalp of South Africa captain Dean Elgar for 36 on Sunday for his 564th Test wicket, topping long-retired Australia great McGrath's haul of 563. Elgar had been in good touch but the Proteas' most experienced batsman surprisingly decided against a review, even though replays showed the ball would have missed leg stump. South Africa had been 83-1 before Elgar's dismissal, which precipitated another batting collapse as they slumped to 169 all out in the deciding Test of a three-match contest. When bad light brought a premature halt to the fourth day, England were 97-0, needing just 33 more runs on Monday to reach a target of 130 that would secure a 2-1 series win.
