India Hand New Zealand Control After Batting Flop Show On Day 1 In 3rd Test
India's batters lost the plot in a matter of 20 minutes, leaving the side at a jittery 86/4 after Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar gave the hosts the early bragging rights by dismissing New Zealand for 235 on an eventful day one of the third and final Test in Mumbai on Friday. Jadeja (5/65) and Sundar (4/81) did their job to perfection but India's batting continued to be a weak link as the side lost three wickets in the space of eight balls, starting with Yashasvi Jaiswal's (30) inexplicable reverse slog sweep. With his 14th five-for in Tests, Jadeja also moved ahead of former pace bowling teammates Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma to climb to the fifth spot in the list of highest wicket-takers for India in the format.

Carlos Alcaraz Recovers From US Open Disappointment, Hands Spain Winning Start In Davis Cup
Carlos Alcaraz starred in singles and doubles as Spain made a winning start in the Davis Cup Finals Group Stage against an injury-blighted Czechia. Roberto Bautista Agut secured the first point for Spain in singles with a 6-2 6-3 win over Jiri Lehecka. It set Alcaraz up to secure the win, but Czechia's Tomas Machac gifted the home team the decisive second point when he was forced to retire in the third set. It was all the more disappointing for Machac that he picked up the injury after winning a first-set tiebreak against Alcaraz. The world No.3 was far from his best in the opening stages, spewing 21 unforced errors in the opening set, in his first Davis Cup appearance since 2022.
