Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test: Aussies look to second spinner after Rawalpindi stalemate
The historic occasion -- Australia's first Test in Pakistan since 1998 -- was marred by a pitch described as "dead" by vice-captain Steve Smith as Pakistan piled up 728 runs for the loss of just four wickets, and one of those was a run out. Openers Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique both made maiden Test hundreds -- Imam scoring one in each innings -- while senior batsman Azhar Ali also passed three figures during five attritional days. The series now moves to Karachi's National Stadium, a favourite hunting ground for Pakistan, who have won 23 of the 43 Tests they have played there while losing only twice. Australia have never won in Karachi in eight attempts, losing five and drawing three.

'Full freedom now': Virender Sehwag's hilarious message to Ravichandran Ashwin after 'Mankading' ruled not unfair
Mankading' method was removed from the list of unfair play in new laws approved by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) on Wednesday, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag came out with a cheeky response. The former India opener posted a tweet including Ravichandran Ashwin and England player Jos Buttler - the two players who were involved in an infamous incident of the 'Mankading' in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The incident involving the two players took place during the 2019 season of the IPL when Rajasthan Royals' Buttler trudged outside the bowling crease even before Ashwin, playing for King XI Punjab (now renamed Punjab Kings), delivered the ball. The off-spinner dislodged the bails in his stride and the batter was given out. Since then, the legitimacy of this mode of dismissal has been questioned under the 'spirit' of cricket'.
