England enjoyed a dominant opening day of the first Test as they bowled West Indies out for 121 and then reached 189-3 by the close of play. In Jimmy Anderson's farewell Test, it was Gus Atkinson who stole the show as he took seven wickets on his debut, while Anderson, Chris Woakes and captain Ben Stokes all picked up one apiece. Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope then set about putting England in control as they hit 76 and 57 respectively after Ben Duckett fell early.

The Australia captain, 30, is undoubtedly the best bowler in the world having been sold to the Sunrisers for $3.6 million last week, despite being ranked third in the Test bowler rankings. Cummins had a shorter middle finger when he first appeared on the scene as a prodigious 18-year-old talent.

As Australia levelled the ODI series after thrashing India by ten wickets in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, Steve Smith took a stunning catch. The Aussies ripped into India's batting line-up, with the hosts bundled out for 117, their fourth-lowest ODI total at home, as Mitchell Starc took five wickets and Sean Abbott chipped in with three wickets. As Smith, who is still standing in as skipper in place of Pat Cummins, began to his right to exclude Pandya for 1.

RICHARD GIBSON: Some of the finest players of the game began their Test careers in Karachi: Sachin Tendulkar, a Pakistani king of reverse swing, and Mike Gatting, one of the few English captains to win in Australia, started by scoring more times and hitting more hundreds than anyone else. Whatever Rehan Ahmed does achieve after his initial stay at the National Stadium, he will also be guaranteed a spot in the history books. He was ranked 710th in the United Kingdom on yesterday, just 126 days after his 18th birthday. After an unfortunate start, Ollie Pope made Saud Shakeel the first international victim of his leg spin, and after replays confirmed his suspicions, he returned to salute his father Naeem in the crowd.

NASSER HUSSAIN: On the last day or two of Test matches in Pakistan, funny stuff can happen, so we shouldn't rush to judgment about the Rawalpindi pitch so early in the game. But it was impossible not to conclude that the Pakistan crowd and supporters around the world deserve a bit more than what we've seen so far. Obviously, I am not discussing England's batting. They were sensational as they rode to 657. However, cricket is so much more watchable when there is even a match between bat and ball. And this pitch isn't providing it. Surfaces in Pakistan have never cracked down, which has explains why they have hosted so many draws, as well as the early finishes and the Kookaburra ball, which goes soft so quickly.

Exclusive INTERVIEW BY LAWRENCE BOOTH: England's Sarfraz Nawaz, the godfather of reverse-swing cricket, believes that England will make good use of one of cricket's most lethal abilities as they begin their historic series in Pakistan. Sarfraz, who took 177 wickets in 55 Tests between 1969 and 1984, learned the art of pitch at home and then passed it on to Imran Khan. Imran had inherited it to Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis in 1992, sparking accusations from English batters that they had picked the right seam. But the ability has since evolved globally, and Sarfraz believes it will play in the three Tests in Rawalpindi, Multan, and Karachi's later stages, particularly in the drier weather predicted at the last two locations.

With a win over Pakistan's under-fire openers, England was brought back to earth with a jolt, the most important 10-wicket victory in Twenty20 internationals history. It seems ridiculous to suggest that Mohammad Rizwan and Captain Babar Azam, the world's top one T20 batter and the one-day equivalent, respectively, should be the object of mockery. This is Pakistan, where expectation and admiration have never been greater than ever before, and the heat is certainly on as they began on the chase for a 200-run target to level the series under the National Stadium's lights.

In a road traffic collision in South Africa, the respected official, who was in charge of more than 100 Test matches between 1992 and 2010, was involved. 'Rudi sustained fatal injuries after an accident between Cape Town and Gqeberha,' according to a family spokesperson for Fox Sports, who requested anonymity.'
