England have enjoyed a perfect start to life under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, defeating World Test Champions New Zealand 3-0.
West Indies are just four wickets away from winning the second Test against Bangladesh. However the play on Day 4 was delayed due to wet outfield. On Day 3, Kemar Roach had become just the sixth West Indian to claim 250 Test wickets as the senior pacer swept through the top order of the Bangladesh second innings to put his team on course for victory on the third day of the second and final Test at the Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia on Sunday. Roach's three wickets led the assault of the hapless visitors who closed the truncated day at 132 for six in their second innings, still needing another 42 runs to avoid an innings defeat after Kyle Mayers' topscore of 146 anchored the West Indies first innings total of 408. Another brief respite followed courtesy of another series of showers. (LIVE SCORECARD)

LEEDS, England : England will go into Friday's re-arranged test against India with the same aggressive approach to their batting as they displayed in their 3-0 series win over New Zealand, said new captain Ben Stokes.
Bairstow, whose batting heroics was key to ensuring England won the second Test, picked up where he left off from Trent Bridge as he brought up his half century in 30 balls and then took England to victory on the last day with an unbeaten 71, finishing it off with a six. A 111-run partnership with Joe Root, who was 86 not out, saw England reach the competitive victory target of 296 as they completed their first clean sweep of a home series in over a decade.
Ramesh Powar said they are on the "right track" ahead of next month's Commonwealth Games, where cricket will make its debut. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side stuttered in the middle overs to manage just 138 for five to lose the final T20I against Sri Lanka by seven wickets. But overall, India claimed a 2-1 win in the three-match series, which is seen as the build-up to the Birmingham multi-sport event.
