England vs New Zealand 1st Test, Day 1 Live Updates: Stuart Broad Strikes As New Zealand Lose Third Wicket
Netherlands vs West Indies 2nd ODI Live Updates: James Anderson gave England an excellent start on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Anderson dismissed New Zealand openers Will Young and Tom Latham early in the morning session, putting the visitors on the backfoot. Earlier, New Zealand had won the toss and elected to bat. England are under new captain Ben Stokes and new coach Brendon McCullum and will be hoping the new leadership will also bring a change in results. New Zealand, meanwhile are returning to England after winning the series there last year as well and then the World Test Championship final against India. While New Zealand will be without Henry Nicholls, who has been ruled out with an injury, Trent Boult has been declared fit to feature. England named veteran pacers James Anderson and Stuart Broad in their playing XI. Durham pacer Matthew Potts is also set to make his debut, while Alex Lees will continue to open. (LIVE SCORECARD)
New Zealand Sweat Over Trent Boult, Henry Nicholls For England Test Opener
Trent Boult and Henry Nicholls may miss New Zealand's first Test against England despite being named in the squad for the clash starting at Lord's on Thursday. Boult played in the Indian Premier League final for Rajasthan Royals on Sunday and is unlikely to recover in time for five days of Test cricket. Nicholls has had a disrupted start to the tour of England due to injury problems and a bout of the coronavirus. "We'll see how Trent scrubs up but I've had conversations with him leading up into this. It's part of the world and the way it is right now with the complexity of putting schedules together," New Zealand head coach Gary Stead told reporters on Monday.

IPL 2022, GT vs RR Live Score: Will Rain Play Spoilsport In Qualifier 1?
Live Score Updates From Qualifier 1 of IPL 2022 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals: Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals will be squaring off against each other in Qualifier 1 of the ongoing IPL 2022 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat had finished the league stage at the top of the table while Rajasthan followed closely behind at second. It would be interesting to see what combinations both teams field on the park and all eyes would be on Kolkata's weather as it has rained in small spells in the city. If the match is not possible because of rain, then the winner would be decided through a Super Over and if there is no time for even that, then Gujarat would go directly to the winner on the basis of finishing higher in the points table.
