Joe Root has been in stunning form with the bat in the past year and in the opening Test against New Zealand at Lord's, he became the latest entrant to the elite 10,000-run club in Test cricket. The former England captain continued his rich vein of form in the ongoing second Test at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham, scoring a brilliant 176 to lead England's reply to New Zealand's mammoth first innings score of 553. As Joe Root reached the magical three-figure mark, a few of England Women team stars were in the stadium to witness the special knock.
Babar Azam hopes that his extraordinary run-scoring can fire Pakistan to World Cup glory -- and in the process fulfil a childhood dream. The 27-year-old is in the form of his life across the three formats of international cricket and last week became the first batsman to hit three consecutive centuries on two separate occasions in ODIs. But Azam told AFP that his prolific form will count for little if it does not bring success at the T20 World Cup in October in Australia and the 50-over showpiece in India next year.

England batter Joe Root has been in fine form over the course of last year and he showed his class once again in the ongoing second Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge after scoring 176 runs off 211 balls with the help of 26 fours and one six. He helped the hosts post 539 runs in reply to New Zealand's first innings score of 553, meaning the visitors could only take a slender lead of 14. On Day 4 of the ongoing Test, Root showed his complete range and even registered a reverse scoop six off the bowling of Tim Southee, leaving fans and commentators in awe.
Government workers in Costa Rica will be allowed extra time off for lunch to watch their national team take on New Zealand in a playoff to decide the last team to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.
New Zealand collapsed to 224-7 as England gave themselves a chance to chase a dramatic series victory by close of play on the fourth day of the second Test on Monday. The Kiwis lost five quick wickets in a tense evening session at Trent Bridge and head into the final day with a lead of 238. With three wickets left, New Zealand face a difficult period early on Tuesday as they try to bat their way to safety. Daryl Mitchell is on 32 not out, with Matt Henry on 8, and if England can rattle through the tail, they will fancy themselves in a thrilling run chase. England chased down 277 to win the first Test at Lord's thanks to a Joe Root century.
