England pulled out a first-innings lead of 70 on Pakistan and then reduced them to 125 for four at stumps on day three of the second Test in Abu Dhabi.

Australia On The Brink Of Series Clean Sweep

Australia are on the brink of sealing a 4-0 Test series clean sweep over India after they closed day four of the final Test in Adelaide needing four further wickets to win.

Rain And Injury Halt New Zealand's Charge

Rain played spoilsport on the second day of the only Test between New Zealand and Zimbabwe in Napier as New Zealand closed on 392 for five.
