Star England pacer Stuart Broad has been handed an official reprimand for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third match of England's ICC World Test Championship series against New Zealand in Leeds.

Former England spinner Graeme Swann is thrilled with the transformation the English Test team has undergone under the leadership of new captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum. He said that the momentum they are carrying from the recent series sweep over New Zealand makes them "slight favourites" for the rescheduled fifth Test against India in Birmingham. Swann said that if the Test had happened as per schedule last year, then he would have handed it to India "on a platter" as they were the better team then. But now, with England's new exciting brand of cricket, he feels the hosts hold the edge.
The fifth rescheduled Test between India and England will start on July 1 but there's no clarity on Rohit Sharma's participation. The Indian skipper is under isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 last week.

Rohit was named as India's all-format captain after Virat Kohli had stepped down from the role, following the Test series defeat in South Africa.
