India Equal Own Big Record After Washington Sundar Hits 11th Ton Of Test Series vs England
India's batting brilliance in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy continued to reach new heights as Washington Sundar's maiden Test hundred in the drawn fourth Test at Manchester took the team's tally of individual centuries in the series to 11, equalling their all-time record set against West Indies at home in 1978-79. This has been a series where India's batters have stood up in challenging conditions away from home. From experienced stars to young guns, everyone has contributed to what has been one of the most prolific run-scoring phases in India's Test history. It all began in Leeds, where despite losing the opening Test, India showcased their batting might with five individual hundreds in the match. Young Yashasvi Jaiswal made a composed 101, and captain Shubman Gill, who registered his first ton of the series with a majestic 147. Vice-captain Rishabh Pant dazzled with 134 in the first innings and followed it up with another hundred, 118 in the second innings. KL Rahul, too, stamped his authority with a fluent 137. The second Test in Birmingham belonged entirely to Shubman Gill, who batted like a man on a mission. He hammered 269 in the first innings and followed it up with 161 in the second, as India roared back to level the series 1-1. In the third Test at Lord's, it was KL Rahul once again showing his class with a gritty 100, but India fell short and slipped behind in the series 2-1. Then came the Manchester Test, where India's resilience was seen. Gill brought up his fourth century of the series, scoring 103 under pressure. In the final Day of the Test match, Ravindra Jadeja, smashed an unbeaten 107, and Washington Sundar, calmly brought up his maiden century with 101 not out. The duo's unbroken 203-run stand helped India save the match and keep the series alive going into the final Test. With the series now poised at 2-1 in England's favour, all eyes turn to The Oval, where the fifth and final Test begins on Thursday. Given the form India's batters are in, it will not be surprising if the century count goes past 11, setting a new record and perhaps even levelling the series in the process.

ICC Punish West Indies For Slow Over-Rate In 4th T20I Against Australia
The West Indies players have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate in the fourth T20I against Australia on July 26 in St. Kitts. Reon King of the ICC International Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction after the West Indies were ruled to be two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration. In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time. Captain Shai Hope pled guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction proposed by the ICC match officials, so there was no need for a formal hearing. On-field umpires Gregory Brathwaite and Leslie Reifer, third umpire Zahid Bassarath and fourth umpire Deighton Buttler levelled the charge. Notably, West Indies are yet to register a win on Australia's current inbound tour, having suffered a 3-0 defeat in the Test series and now trailing 4-0 in the T20I leg. After winning the first four T20I of the five match series, Australia now look to finish the series on a high when the two sides meet again on July 28 at the same venue.
