2nd Test: New Zealand strike back as South Africa stumble to 140-5 on Day 3

New Zealand held hope they could salvage the second Test as they reduced South Africa to 140 for five at stumps on day three in Christchurch on Sunday. It gave the Proteas an overall lead of 211 with five wickets remaining after posting 364 in their first innings and then bowling New Zealand out for 293. But there has been a momentum shift in the Test after South Africa dominated the first two days. Day three went New Zealand's way after they were rescued from 91 for five by a 133-run stand between Colin de Grandhomme and Daryl Mitchell on a docile wicket. When South Africa started their second innings 71 runs ahead, New Zealand needed quick wickets and Tim Southee and Matt Henry obliged to have the tourists 38-3.

India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja explode as India chase down 184 to win series

Shreyas Iyer has made himself a serious contender in India’s World Cup squad. After his explosive half-century in the series opener against Sri Lanka, the middle-order batter showed exemplary skills with a very impressive, unbeaten 74 to help India successfully chase down 184 with 17 balls to spare, and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match rubber. This is India’s seventh straight series win at home. Coming in at the fall of skipper Rohit Sharma (1), who had a rare failure up the order, Shreyas (74* off 44 balls; 4x6, 6x4) took on the onus of leading India’s charge.
