Joe Root is going through the form of his life in Test cricket. The star batter scored two hundreds across two innings in the second Test of the ongoing three-match series vs Sri Lanka. The twin tons also saw Root going past Alastair Cook to become the England batter with most centuries in Test cricket. Root now has 34 to his credit, one more than that of retired player Cook. The right-handed batter, who is 33 years old, has over 12 thousand Test runs to his credit and he is quite close to the all-time record of India great Sachin Tendulkar.

England vs Sri Lanka 3rd Test, Day 1: With a 2-0 lead, hosts England would hope to complete a 3-0 sweep as they take on Sri Lanka in the final match of the 3-Test series. It has been a flawless series for England, especially considering the fresh faces that have were drafted into the team. While Joe Root has been the marquee star of the series, the likes of Jamie Smith, Matthew Potts, and Gus Atkinson have done really well. For Sri Lanka, a trend-breaking performance is the need of the hour. (Live Scorecard)
There's a reason why former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi was given the nickname 'Boom-Boom'. One of the finest attacking batters Pakistan has produced, Afridi held the record of scoring the fastest century in ODI cricket, having notched up a 37-ball ton against Sri Lanka in Nairobi, for a long time. In 2014, New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson broke Afridi's record in 36 balls. Former South Africa skipper AB de Villiers then shattered Anderson's record by registering a 31-ball ton against West Indies in 2015.
San Marino, the world's worst team according to the FIFA rankings, made history on Thursday by beating Liechtenstein 1-0 in the UEFA Nations League to claim their first ever competitive win. The tiny country of barely 30,000 people, surrounded by Italy, came into the match at their San Marino Stadium looking for a first win of any sort since beating Liechtenstein in a friendly in 2004. Liechtenstein had a goal disallowed for a tight offside in the first half before San Marino pounced on a defensive error to grab the winner in the 53rd minute through Nicko Sensoli.
As Pakistan cricket goes through one of its toughest periods, Babar Azam is one player who is in the thick of criticism the men's national team is getting. A 0-2 Test series defeat at the hands of Bangladesh at home is being labelled as the national team's worst in the longest format by many. One of the reasons behind Pakistan's poor show on the 22-yard pitch is the underperformance of top players like Babar Azam. While many former Pakistan cricketers have criticised Babar over the last few weeks, Basit Ali advised the star batter to get married.
Harshit Rana is banging on the door for more India call-ups and his performance in the Duleep Trophy 2024 have done only good to those chances. However, as the pacer ran through India C's batting order with four wickets in the first innings, he also brought back his infamous signature flying kiss celebration that caused him to get a ban during IPL 2024. This time though, Harshit did not aim it at the batter he had just dismissed, but at his own dressing room instead.
