Trent Rockets chased down London Spirit's total at Trent Bridge with two balls to spare, moving into the top four of the men's standings. Craig Overton struck the winning six — a moment made sharper by the fact he was batting against his twin brother Jamie, who was bowling for Spirit.

It wasn't just the final blow that mattered. Overton contributed with both bat and ball across the match, and that blend of performance proved crucial in a chase that never had much margin for error. Four-wicket victories in The Hundred are won on details, and he delivered them.

London Spirit have now lost their first two games of the tournament.

Rachin Ravindra came within two runs of a century, smashing 98 off 44 balls with seven sixes to lift Welsh Fire past MI London. The knock set a total the hosts couldn't chase — Lockie Ferguson's four wickets shut the door on the way down, and Welsh Fire won by 15.

It's a second straight win for Fire, and Ravindra's brutal hitting in the middle overs is why he's been picked for the IPL squad. Boundaries dominated the match, and when a batter can turn a boundary into a six the way Ravindra did here, the maths shifts fast. His strike rate in this format isn't theoretical anymore — it's match-winning.

Bangladesh fast bowler Nahid Rana has been ruled out of the opening Test against Australia with a side strain. Shoriful Islam and Litton Das will also miss the match but could return for the second Test after rehabilitation. The first Test begins in Perth on 27 June.

Bangladesh have called up uncapped seamer Tanvir Islam as cover. Rana had been expected to lead the pace attack after taking 17 wickets in the preceding home series against England. The injury leaves Bangladesh without their most reliable overseas performer this year.

Team management said the focus now shifts to managing workloads for the remaining quicks. Australia have named an unchanged squad from their recent home series against Sri Lanka.

Pakistan opener Abdullah Fazal suffered a lower back injury during training ahead of the first Test in Tarouba and won't feature in the ICC World Test Championship series against West Indies and England.

Shafique and Shakeel are in to replace him — Shafique hasn't played Tests since October 2025, while Shakeel's return comes sooner than planned. On the West Indies side, Tagenarine Chanderpaul's been recalled to open after John Campbell was ruled out with injury.

Pakistan handed a debut to Ali Usman in that first Test. West Indies reached 194 for three on an rained-on opening day at Brian Lara Cricket Academy, with Kavem Hodge making an unbeaten 83. Only 67 overs were possible.

Mayank Yadav took 2 for 18 and was named Player of the Match in India's seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe at Harare. The pacer said returning to play for India kept him motivated through the two-year injury layoff. His childhood dream, he added, helped him come back stronger after the mental grind of being away.

Ashok Sharma made his India T20I debut in the same match. The 24-year-old Rajasthan pacer, a farmer's son from a village near Jaipur, clocked 154.2 kmph in IPL 2026 and led the wicket-takers in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy with 22 scalps.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored his maiden international half-century off 18 balls to help India chase 126. The 15-year-old batted under new captain Shreyas Iyer.

Ryana MacDonald-Gay's bowling set up Manchester Super Giants' comfortable win over London Spirit in The Hundred. The Super Giants restricted their opponents and chased down the target with room to spare — a statement result in the revamped 2026 edition of the competition.

This season marks a significant shift for the league. New ownership structures have poured money into several franchises, including Manchester, with higher player salaries and increased investment now the norm. Grace Ballinger has already flagged rising expectations around what these upgraded rosters should deliver.

The Super Giants' opening win gives them early momentum, though whether their added resources will translate to sustained success remains the real test.

Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe in the deciding T20I with a tense chase completed in the final over. The win secured the three-match series 2-1. Sikandar Raza reached a significant milestone during the series with his all-round contributions.

The decider featured strong bowling displays from Bangladesh that kept Zimbabwe under pressure throughout the chase. Zimbabwe's campaign continued despite the series loss. The result came after a dramatic finish that required composure in the closing stages.

Litton Das, Bangladesh's T20I captain, faces a separate disciplinary hearing over an unrelated breach of the code of conduct. The hearing stems from a trip to China after the ODI series. The two matters remain distinct according to the reports.

The BCCI has stated there are no immediate plans for Rohit Sharma to retire. The clarification addressed speculation that surfaced before the third ODI against England at Lord's. India enter the match needing a win to claim the series.

The third ODI offers Rohit Sharma an opportunity to shift attention back to on-field performance. India's bowling coach Morne Morkel has expressed confidence in the captain's recent form. The match is expected to be Rohit Sharma's final appearance in the format on this tour.

Rohit Sharma turned 39 in April and this tour comes during what could be his last full IPL season with Mumbai Indians. Earlier speculation had linked the question of his international future to the outcome at Lord's.

Sir Garry Sobers died on Friday at 89. The West Indies all-rounder spent two decades redefining what it meant to be complete — a batsman who could anchor an innings (8,032 Test runs at 57.78), a bowler who took 235 wickets, a fielder who didn't miss. He played 93 Tests between 1954 and 1974, captaining 39 of them and steering West Indies to a series victory in England in 1966.

Cricket Australia and the ECB released statements Friday morning. Both noted a feat that captures him whole: Sobers once scored a Test triple century and took five wickets in the same match — something that's never been done before or since in Test cricket.

The ECB plans to appoint a new Test head coach before England's series against Pakistan. The board is reviewing between six and ten candidates for the role. Andy Flower is among the names under consideration.

McCullum's departure leaves the position open ahead of a busy schedule that includes the Pakistan tour. The ECB wants the new coach in place in time for that series. No timeline for the final decision has been confirmed yet.

The appointment comes after recent results that included the ODI loss to India at Edgbaston. England will need the new coach to prepare the side for the upcoming white-ball World Cup as well.

India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has asked to step down after the England tour, citing personal reasons in his request to the BCCI. The move now awaits approval from head coach Gautam Gambhir.

Ten Doeschate joined the support staff before the 2024-25 season. His exit would leave a gap in India's coaching setup with major tournaments still to come this year.
