ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Australia batsman Steve Smith said on Tuesday the players felt "incredibly safe" on their first tour of Pakistan in nearly 25 years, despite spinner Ashton Agar receiving a death threat via social media just days before the start of the first test.

New Zealand were beaten comprehensibly by South Africa in the second Test in Christchurch on Tuesday but that doesn't mean the hosts did not have their share of brilliance in the series-deciding final Test match. On Day 4, Will Young pulled off an "outrageous" catch to dismiss South Africa pacer Marco Jansen. During the 79th over of South Africa's second innings, Jansen had flicked Colin de Grandhomme's delivery towards the deep midwicket region.
World Test champions New Zealand suffered another disconcerting defeat at home, losing to South Africa by a massive 198 runs in the second Test in Christchurch on Tuesday.
South Africa captain Dean Elgar felt vindicated after his "bold" decision to bat first paved the way for a dominant second Test win over New Zealand that levelled the series on Tuesday. The Proteas' batsmen had been routed for 95 and 111 in the series-opener at Christchurch on the way to their second-worst Test defeat after being sent in to bat first by New Zealand's stand-in skipper Tom Latham.
Team India registered a crushing 3-0 T20I series victory against Sri Lanka at home under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. With the third T20I win in Dharamsala, India joined Afghanistan and Romania in the list of most consecutive victories in the format with 12 wins. Such has been the domination of this side at home that even a new-look team looked fairly comfortable against the likes of New Zealand, West Indies and now Sri Lanka. Skipper Rohit Sharma was spot on in regards to his bowling changes and field placements but what lacked was his consistency with the bat, something for which he is well known for.
