Known to lose his calm in the middle of the match on occasions, Bangladesh's star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasa gave another example of his leaky temprament on Day 5 of the first Test against Pakistan. Shakib, who has caused disruptive scenes on the cricket much multiple times in the past, once again lost his cool as Pakistan wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan took his team to be ready and face a delivery. Upset with Rizwan, who has also been at the center of many time-wasting tactics in the past, an angry Shakib threw ball towards the Pakistan star.

A fiery crash and driving rain marred the final practice for the Dutch Grand Prix Saturday, with many top contenders getting little track time before qualifying later in the day. Pierre Gasly from Alpine clocked the fastest lap but teams will have learned little from the session which was reduced to 16 minutes after a crash by US driver Logan Sargeant.

Joe Root's gritty unbeaten 62 guided England to a five-wicket win in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford on Saturday. Set 205 to win, England were faltering at 56-2 when star batsman Root came in shortly before tea on the fourth day.
