Saturday’s big story comes from Wellington, where rain cut the 2nd ODI between New Zealand and India to 47 overs a side and India’s bowlers then left them a chase of 135. In Sylhet, Towhid Hridoy struck his maiden Test century to keep Bangladesh in the fight against West Indies, while Afghanistan continue their reply to Zimbabwe’s 504 in Sharjah.
