All eyes are on Rawalpindi this Wednesday. Sri Lanka start Day 3 of the first Test on 114/3, still 320 runs behind Pakistan’s 434/9 declared, and they need 121 more just to make Pakistan bat again. With no other major international match on today’s card, this is the game to follow for fans in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.

Highlights
We could not confirm an official highlights video for Tuesday’s play, so here is a short recap.
Rawalpindi: Pakistan resumed on 281/5 and added 153 more runs before captain Babar Azam declared midway through the second session. Saud Shakeel was the backbone of the innings with 93, falling seven short of a century when he was caught behind off Asitha Fernando. Debutant Arafat Minhas made a lively 52, which meant Pakistan finished with five half-centuries, three of them from debutants. Fernando was Sri Lanka’s best bowler with 3/107.
Sri Lanka’s reply got off to a poor start. Mohammad Abbas struck early and Saqib Khan removed Dinesh Chandimal and Lahiru Udara to finish the day with 2/54. Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva then steadied things until bad light ended play early.
Hamilton: Rain never let up at Seddon Park, and the 3rd ODI between New Zealand and India was called off without a ball bowled. India keep their 2-0 lead, so New Zealand can no longer win the series.
Coming Up
Friday, 13 November is packed: New Zealand vs India, 4th ODI at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui; Australia vs England, 1st ODI in Perth; and the second Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe Test.
