Arjun Tendulkar took 3 for 11 and smashed an unbeaten 66 off 34 balls as Arcs Andheri cruised to a nine-wicket win in the T20 Mumbai League. Captain Shivam Dube's side barely broke a sweat chasing the target.
The all-round show — quick wickets followed by a clean batting display — is exactly the profile Mumbai Indians have been tracking in their emerging fast-bowling all-rounders. Tendulkar's still developing in domestic cricket, but performances like this suggest he's tracking the right way.

The BCCI named Sairaj Bahutule its spin bowling coach for the men's senior team on Saturday. Bahutule, who played 7 Tests and 7 ODIs for India between 1997 and 2001, spent the last two decades working with domestic and age-group sides — including stints as a spin consultant across state teams.
His brief is to build the spin resources in the senior setup as India prepares for a busy international calendar. The move marks a clear shift toward a specialist approach in the bowling department, though no other changes to the coaching staff have been announced.
The ICC is trialing pink balls in Test matches to reduce time lost to bad light, with implementation details still being worked out.
The ICC will trial pink balls in Test matches to reduce time lost to bad light — a recurring headache in recent day-night fixtures. Pink balls offer better contrast under floodlights than red ones, and officials are testing how they perform across different conditions before rolling them out wider.
Implementation details are still under discussion. The ICC hasn't named which match will host the first trial yet. But results from the experiment are expected to shape future scheduling decisions.
The MCC acknowledged the Lord's pitch for the England versus New Zealand Test didn't measure up. Inconsistent bounce plagued the surface throughout — a low-scoring match that lasted just three days, with conditions that frustrated both teams and captains alike.
Ben Stokes called it extreme and unhelpful for Test cricket's future. The MCC expressed frustration with the variable bounce and pledged to tighten pitch preparation for upcoming home Tests, using what they learned here to do better next time.

Thirty-three wickets fell in the first two days of England vs New Zealand at Lord's, with Nasser Hussain and Michael Vaughan both questioning whether the surface meets Test cricket standards.
Thirty-three wickets tumbled in the first two days at Lord's — excessive seam movement and unpredictable bounce turned the pitch into a bowler's lottery, according to Nasser Hussain and Michael Vaughan. Both former captains called it substandard, not fit for Test cricket.
Rain washed out most of day three. Only 9.4 overs were possible before play stopped, leaving New Zealand at 55 for 5 — still 199 runs away from chasing down England's total. Ollie Robinson had already taken two wickets in that brief spell, adding to Gus Atkinson's two earlier in the match. England debutant Emilio Gay had scored a fifty in the first innings.
The high dismissal rate has forced questions about Lord's pitch preparation. There's also grumbling about the lunch call — taken during a sunny break in relentless rain — that may have cost England bowling time. England hold the advantage heading into day four, but the focus now is whether the MCC can fix what's clearly become a recurring problem at its flagship ground.
