Pink Ball Test between India and Sri Lanka is most probably heading towards a finish on the 3rd day of the test match. India wrapped Sri Lanka’s first innings quickly at 109 in 35.5 overs in the first session to bat for the second time in the test match on the second day itself. Jasprit Bumrah was the star for the Indians as he bagged another fifer in the game’s longest format. Rishabh Pant (51) and Shreyas Iyer (67) again replicated their heroics from the first innings in their electric fifties against the Sri Lankans. India secured a lead of…
Australia finished on 505-8 at the stumps on day 2 of the 2nd test versus Pakistan at National Stadium, Karachi. Carrying on from 251-3, the Australian batters seemed in no hurry and took their time tiring out the Pakistani fielders. The night-watchman keeps the guard up: Nathan Lyon, sent in as a night-watchman at the end of the first day’s play, kept batting for more than one and half hours on the 2nd day. He frustrated the already irritated bowling lineup and kept the momentum going on for the Kangaroos. He combined with Khwaja to put up a 54 run…

Few significant moments from…
Shreyas Iyer played a valiant knock of 92 off 98, including 10 fours and 4 sixes, as India finished on 252 in 59.1 overs on the 1st day of the pink ball test. The pitch on Chinnaswamy had it all for both the pace and spin bowlers. In the first session itself, the ball started turning, and the odd one kept extremely low to surprise the batters out. As many as 16 wickets fell on the first day as Sri Lanka finished on 86-6 in 30 overs at the stumps. In the day/night test history, this became the first instance…
