An Antonov cargo plane operated by a Ukrainian airline crashed Saturday near the city of Kavala in northern Greece, killing all eight crew members on board, authorities said.
Brendon McCullum gave away very little, but it wasn't difficult to read his facial expression once Alex Lees was run-out after a horrible mix-up with Joe Root. Within minutes, for England it had gone from being 'Bazball' to 'Bust ball' as 107 for no loss turned to 109 for 3. Irrespective of the outcome of this Test match, Indian cricket has got a genuine captaincy material in Jasprit Bumrah, who can lead the 'Men in Whites' for a long time to come if the cricketing establishment reposes its faith in him.
As Rishabh Pant played his blitzkrieg innings on Day 1 of the rescheduled fifth Test against England, former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri recalled an old chat with Rishabh Pant and how he had suggested the reverse-sweep to the swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter. Pant displayed an array of attacking strokeplay as he smashed 146 off 111 deliveries at Edgbaston on Friday. Shastri, who is on commentary duty during the Test, said he had suggested that Pant try "something more outrageous" when he was getting out in a similar fashion on more than one occasion.
Rishabh Pant, with his blitzkrieg knock in the ongoing 5th Test against England at Edgbaston, broke a record by former India captain MS Dhoni that stood for 17 long years. Pant, who reached his fifth century in the longest format in just 89 deliveries, hit the fastest Test ton by an Indian wicketkeeper. MS Dhoni held the record with his 93-ball century against Pakistan in Faisalabad in 2005. Pant went on to score 146 off just 111 deliveries. His knock was studded with 19 boundaries and four sixes.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) will have an extended 10-week window in the next international calendar to allow all the world's top cricketers to participate in the popular T20 competition, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah told Reuters.

Throughout the tournament, Pandya was leading Gujarat from the front, taking the charge with the bat at either number three or four, something which he hardly got to do in his previous franchise Mumbai Indians. Pandya was the anchor Gujarat needed with the bat before unleashing his stroke play in the back end of the innings, amassing 487 in 15 innings at an average of 44.27 and strike-rate of 131.26. With the ball too, he was chipping in occasionally, with his spell of 3/17 in the final at home ground in Ahmedabad proving to be match-winning.
