ENG vs IND: Ravindra Jadeja equals Kapil Dev's record with valiant 89 at Edgbaston
Ravindra Jadeja equalled Kapil Dev's record with his gritty 89 off 137 balls against England on Day 2 of the second Test in Birmingham. Jadeja and Shubman Gill put on a 203-run stand that ensured India will get to a big total at Edgbaston as the all-rounder shut down noise around his place in the side. Jadeja came in to bat not in the best of form and his performances were criticised. In the last six innings before the one in Birmingham, the all-rounder had failed to register a 30-plus score with the bat, raising concerns about his spot in the squad. advertisementENG vs IND 2nd Test Day 2 Updates When it came to the ongoing Test, Jadeja walked in when India were in major trouble, losing Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy in the span of one over. The veteran's role was to ensure India got to the end of Day 1 without a lot of trouble, and he started to take a special liking to Bashir. Starting Day 2 on 41, started the day with a boundary and with minimum fuss, made it to his fifty. This meant that Jadeja equalled Kapil Dev's record and is now joint-second for most 50+ scores by an Indian in SENA Tests while batting at No. 7 or lower. Jadeja now has 8 50-plus scores in SENA countries. Jadeja continues to make a statementadvertisementThe all-rounder then continued to show his new-found form as he started to go after the England bowlers as he hit Ben Stokes for a couple of boundaries as he played second fiddle and helped out Shubman Gill to get his 150 with ease and ensure the partnership also went past the 150-run mark. Jadeja ensured that the scoreboard was ticking on and the strike was rotated well. One of the best moments from his knock was when England set a defensive field and Jadeja was still able to find the gap and get a boundary. He stepped down the track to hit Bashir down the ground for a six to edge close to nineties and raise hopes of another hundred in Birmingham, having scored one the last time he came on tour. Unfortunately, those dreams were squashed as a vicious bouncer from Josh Tongue caught him off guard and the ball got the finest of knicks and went to the keeper. - EndsMust Watch

Taylor Fritz gets through another late-night five-setter to reach 3rd round at Wimbledon
LONDON: Late-night finishes and five-set matches are becoming a habit for Taylor Fritz at this year's Wimbledon. This time, though, he managed to wrap up his win over Gabriel Diallo before the match was suspended — making sure the fifth-seeded American won't have to come back on court for a fourth straight day. Fritz overcame a bloodied elbow to win 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (0), 4-6, 6-3 on No. 1 Court on Wednesday. That was a day after he finished off another five-set win over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in a match that was halted on Monday night at about 10:15 p.m. after Fritz forced a fifth set, with Wimbledon's 11 p.m. curfew looming. He completed the win over Diallo a little later than that on Wednesday. 'That's an incredibly hard match,' Fritz said. 'The fourth set that I lost, I really don't think there's much I did wrong at all.' Fritz sustained a cut to his elbow after diving to reach a ball when he had break point while trailing 3-2 in the fourth set. While he returned the ball, Diallo won the point and went on to hold serve. Now Fritz is looking forward to finally getting a day off. 'Tomorrow is going to be a very, a very light hit. I think I've played plenty of tennis,' he said. 'I'm very due a nice, relaxing day.'
