Ben Stokes finally arrives in this year's IPL with a match winning 107 not out as the Rajasthan Royals first down the Mumbai Indians 195 with 8 wickets and 10 balls to spare. Sanju Samson has really impressed me for them this year, he made an unbeaten 54 in the chase as well. Brilliant stuff which just about keeps the Royals alive in the tournament.

Sheffield Shield history created at Glenelg Oval, South Australia today. Victorian openers Will Pucovski and Marcus Harris put on an opening stand of 486. Previous best was 464 in 1990 by Mark & Steve Waugh. Victoria’s overnight score 0/418 in reply to South Australia’s 200. At lunch on Day 3 Victoria is 2/565 with Pucovski on 255 no. Harris scored 239.

Superb watching international cricket with a crowd back in
Decent game too. Australia's top order did their job well with Warner, Finch and Smith scoring 278 between them. Quick cameo by Maxwell adding 45 took them up to 374-6.

India slipped to 101-4, but Dhawan and Pandya have kept them in it, with the latter hitting a 31 ball 50.

Had wondered why Nortje wasn’t in the SA lineup yesterday, but reading on Twitter that Hendricks was picked instead because of the transformation targets (racial quota) CSA have. When every man and their dog knows Nortje is better than Hendricks, who is this helping?

England going well & Tom Curran having a better day than Friday so far, Saffers 97-5 after 14 overs with a fairly long tail at this level to come.

He still isn't an international quality cricketer. Shouldn't be near the side in any format.

Quite enjoy watching NZ cricket from provincial grounds. In the First Test at Seddon Park, Hamilton Kane Williamson made 251 and Kyle Jamieson 51no, his maiden Test half century. NZ declared at 519/7. West Indies 5/0 after 4 overs.
