Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara has completed 5,000 List A cricket runs. India's Test veteran accomplished this landmark during his side's One Day Cup match against Middlesex at Hove on Tuesday. Pujara unleashed a rare side of him during his side Sussex's match against Middlesex, smashing 132 runs in just 90 balls with 20 fours and two sixes. He was striking runs at a great strike rate of 146.66.
England seamer James Anderson admits he is fortunate to still have the passion for Test cricket but feels it is unlikely there will be many more playing beyond their 40th birthday.
Proteas coach Mark Boucher, ever candidly, reminded everyone ahead of the Test series between his charges and England starting on Thursday that the on-field skirmishes of the two nations always creates a huge amount of hype.
Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root piled on further statistical accomplishments as they powered England to a seven-wicket win over India at Edgbaston.
Joe Root has joined a select group of England players after making 737 runs in England's drawn Test series against India.
The former England captain rounded off the campaign with a majestic 142 not out as, alongside Yorkshire team-mate Jonny Bairstow (114 not out), he guided England to their highest fourth-innings winning chase of 378-3 during a seven-wicket victory in the Covid-delayed fifth Test at Edgbaston on Tuesday.

When England exited their own World Cup before most of the country had even woken up to the fact it was happening, it appeared the team could sink no lower. In Wisden, editor Matthew Engel lamented the failure to seize upon a “make or break opportunity for cricket to re-establish itself in the public’s affection”. That disconnect only grew as the summer continued, as sparse crowds watched a chaotic and demoralised team plunge to the bottom of the Test rankings.
