(Reuters) - Australia have recalled fast bowler Kane Richardson for Tuesday's T20 series opener against Sri Lanka and stuck with the three-pronged pace formula that won them their first World Cup last year.

(Reuters) - New Zealand head to Nottingham for the second test against England with pride wounded and their World Test Championship (WTC) campaign on a knife-edge after a deflating loss at Lord's.
New Zealand head to Nottingham for the second test against England with pride wounded and their World Test Championship (WTC) campaign on a knife-edge after a deflating loss at Lord's.
Less than a year after beating India at the same venue to claim the inaugural WTC trophy, New Zealand's five-wicket defeat on Sunday left them seventh in the standings and another setback at Trent Bridge could prove terminal for their title defence. The Black Caps could do with all hands on deck to turn things around, but are unlikely to have all-rounder Collin de Grandhomme available for the match starting Friday after he suffered a heel injury while bowling on day three.
Brett Hodgson has made two changes to his side to face Wakefield Trinity at Belle Vue this afternoon. The Black and Whites are looking to continue their fine recent form and they’ll fancy their chances of picking two more points up in West Yorkshire.
Kane Williamson says New Zealand must move on quickly from their five-wicket loss to England in the first Test after the touring side let a winning position slip at Lord's to go 1-0 down in the three-match series. New Zealand were in a commanding position as they led by 242 runs in their second innings with six wickets remaining, but lost three in three balls to open the door for England to fight back and, in the end, complete a comfortable victory.
Joe Root scored an unbeaten century as England capped a dramatic fightback to win the first Test against New Zealand by five wickets at Lord's on Sunday. England, set 277 to win, finished on 279 for five, with former captain Root 115 not out after the hosts had slumped to 69 for four. Victory, achieved with more than a day to spare, was just England's second win in 18 Tests and gave them a 1-0 lead in the three-match series against World Test champions New Zealand.
