IND vs WI 2nd Test: ICC slaps 25 per cent fine on Seales for Jaiswal episode

Pakistan ODI skipper Mohammad Rizwan gave a classic brain fade performance in Tuesday's third ODI against West Indies, registering a first-ball duck. Facing an in-form Jayden Seales, Rizwan walked out to bat following the fall of Abdullah Shafique who was also bowled out for a duck by Seales. Meeting an in-swinging delivery from Seales, Rizwan committed a brain-fade error as he got out of the way of the delivery before it reached the top of the stumps. The batter was left shocked at how the ball moved, to give cricket supporters on social media another chance to troll him.&nbsp;Pakistan hasn't been on their game for some time. Prior to the start of the ODI series, the team somehow managed to defeat West Indies 2-1 in a T20I series. Following a win in the first ODI, Pakistan was humiliated in the subsequent two matches, with the last match on Tuesday actually witnessing the hosts accomplish a humongous comeback. Observing the weird decisions made by Rizwan, fans trolled Pakistan's captain on social media. Leaving Seales' in-swinging ball can easily win the 'worst leave of the year' award.<h2>Watch the video here:</h2>

"We had a team plan from before. We just tried to execute it to the best of our ability. The analyst and the bowling coach just showed me the line that works in ODI cricket. I am working on it. We wanted to keep the stumps in play. The pitch was a little up and down. Especially in ODI cricket, I have learnt the length to bowl. It takes a lot of time and training. We keep our loads high, and it is paying off," Seales was quoted saying after winning the Player of the Match award. &nbsp;Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan, however, praised Seales, conceding that the pacer gave his side trouble throughout the entire series. "We understood this was the third game given that a Test across four innings was played on this deck. The momentum in the last 10 overs took it away as we were on top for the first 40 overs. We thought 220 was chaseable here. The credit goes to them. Credit to Hope. The execution was good but the edges went in their favour. Hope batted well and played some good shots. We had Ayub and Salman bowling. We thought Abrar would come and bowl. But Hope batted well and hence he didn't complete his overs. Seales was bowling well. He troubled us through the series. We needed partnerships and needed to spend some time," he said.

WI vs AUS, 1st Test: Fast bowlers headline 14-wicket day one in Barbados

Australia's pacers struck back with four wickets after they were dealt some of their own medicine in being dismissed for 180 by the West Indies fast bowlers on the opening day of the first Test in Barbados on Wednesday. Seeking their first Test match victory on home soil against Australia for 22 years, the Caribbean side will resume on the second morning at 57 for four at Kensington Oval. Also read | IND vs ENG: 'Experience matters,' acknowledges coach Gambhir but call for patience with pacers after Headingley drubbing Mitchell Starc, captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood replicated the devastation of West Indian counterparts Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph to bring Australia right back into the first of a three-match series. Seales capitalised on the early blows inflicted by Joseph, polishing off the lower order to finish with five for 60, his third five-wicket innings haul in his 19th Test. Joseph, who enjoyed a sensational debut series at the expense of the Australians, highlighted by a match-winning innings haul of seven for 68 in Brisbane 17 months ago, was again in devastating form against the same opponents, prising out four of the first six wickets to fall over the first two sessions. He cast aside the ordinary performances of most of the previous year and a half to claim four for 46 from 16 overs of sustained pace, where he continuously challenged all batsmen and would have enjoyed greater success but for poor catching by his teammates. Debutant Brandon King was the chief culprit, missing three chances at gully. But the most expensive lapse was from new captain Roston Chase, who, in his 50th Test, dropped Usman Khawaja at first slip when the opener was just on six. Khawaja and Head in key stand Khawaja battled to 47 before eventually falling to Joseph, featuring in an important 89-run fourth-wicket stand with Travis Head after the Australians had slumped to 22 for three in the morning following Cummins' decision to bat first on winning the toss. Head's top score of 59 was highlighted, as usual, by flamboyant drives and pulls, the left-hander counting nine boundaries in his 78-ball innings. Earlier, Australia's captain had cause to immediately ponder on the wisdom of his decision when Joseph dispatched Sam Konstas and Cameron Green in quick succession with the new ball and should have also accounted for Khawaja, who had another reprieve on 45. However, the opener's luck eventually ran out when he under-edged a pull at Joseph to be caught behind, while Beau Webster was comprehensively bowled by arguably the best ball of the day from the Guyanese pacer. Seales, who had dispatched Josh Inglis in the morning via a skied catch to wicketkeeper Shai Hope from a miscued pull, claimed a vital second wicket when Alex Carey edged a drive high to Chase at first slip on the stroke of tea. "This was really special for me," said Seales in reflecting on his effort at the end of the day. "I was injured when last I played a Test against them, so to come back here and get five was really satisfying. "With the new ball, we knew we had to bowl a bit fuller. This pitch was also a bit slower than the Australians would have expected, and that worked in our favour with them playing at balls they didn't have to." Following Head's swift demise at the start of the final session to medium-pacer Justin Greaves, Seales removed Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood without too much fuss, leaving the West Indies top-order batting with a challenging passage of play before the close. It proved a task beyond four of them, Starc accounting for openers Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell before Cummins removed Keacy Carty and Hazlewood dispatched nightwatchman Jomel Warrican, leaving King and Chase to carry the fight into the second day.

Seeking their first Test match victory on home soil against Australia for 22 years, the Caribbean side will resume on the second morning at 57 for four at Kensington Oval.&nbsp;

Opening batsman Brandon King and fast bowler Jayden Seales starred as West Indies cruised to a series-clinching seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the second ODI on Tuesday.

Having dismissed Bangladesh for 227, the home side completed their chase with 79 balls to spare, following their five-wicket triumph on the same ground on Sunday.

King struck a fine 82 from 76 balls with eight fours and three sixes to register his seventh half-century in the format to add to his three centuries.

His innings was also a perfect early birthday gift ahead of the Jamaican turning 30 next Monday.

King shared an opening stand of 109 with Evin Lewis who made 49 from 62 deliveries with two fours and four sixes.

He then put on 66 with Keacy Carty before his innings was ended by a blistering yorker from promising young fast bowler Nahid Rana.

Carty made 45 before skipper Shai Hope (17) and Sherfane Rutherford (24) guided their side home on 230-3.

Rutherford wrapped up the win with a huge six off Shoriful Islam.

"We were clinical. We've been struggling to win series at home, but we hope to finish 3-0 now," said Hope who already has one eye on the 2027 World Cup after the West Indies failed to qualify for the 2023 tournament.

"Every game is important, we're trying to earn points and get up on the ladder to ensure we make the next ODI World Cup."

Earlier Seales took a career-best 4-22 from nine overs.

He sent back Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to leave Bangladesh tottering on 54-3.

Opener Tanzid Hasan made a patient 46 before 38-year-old Mahmudullah, appearing in his 237th ODI, cracked 62 with two fours and four sixes before he became Seales's fourth victim.

Mahmudullah put on 92 with Tanzim Hasan Sakib (45) for the eighth wicket as Bangladesh pushed their total beyond the 200-mark.

"Our score wasn't enough, 300-plus was needed," admitted Bangladesh captain Mehidy.

"We bowled really well in the first ten overs but on this wicket, it's hard for bowlers to defend an under-par score."

The third and final match takes place at the same venue on Thursday before the two sides then meet in a three-game T20 series at Kingstown.

Opening batsman Brandon King and fast bowler Jayden Seales starred as West Indies cruised to a series-clinching seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the second ODI on Tuesday. Having dismissed Bangladesh for 227, the home side completed their chase with 79 balls to spare, following their five-wicket triumph on the same ground on Sunday. King struck a fine 82 from 76 balls with eight fours and three sixes to register his seventh half-century in the format to add to his three centuries. His innings was also a perfect early birthday gift ahead of the Jamaican turning 30 next Monday.

WI vs BAN: Brandon King, Jayden Seales shine as West Indies cruise past Bangladesh

Pakistan was marred by protests in the past few days and an incident from there is now making headlines. Security forces were seen pushing a protester off a 25ft-tall tower of shipping containers, as per reports. Hundreds of people were arrested in the protests that saw thousands enter the capital city of Islamabad, demanding the release of former prime minister Imran Khan.

The incident was captured on camera and widely circulated on social media. To counter the massive crowds, protesters alleged that the security forces launched a brutal crackdown and opened fire. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) claimed that “hundreds” were killed in the violent clashes with security personnel.&nbsp;

The protests were formally suspended on Wednesday following a midnight crackdown that left four dead and over 50 injured.&nbsp;

A video from the protests shows a man seemingly praying on top of a huge wall of containers that were put up to block protesters from reaching their destination.

WI pacer Jayden Seales breaks India bowler Umesh Yadav's record to create Test history | Read Here

Fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales took West Indies to the brink of victory in the first Test in Antigua on Monday, taking three wickets each to reduce Bangladesh to 109-7 in their second innings when bad light put an end to the fourth day.&nbsp;

Chasing 334 to win the match, Bangladesh will go into Tuesday's final day still 225 runs short of victory and with just three wickets in hand.

After bowling the home side out for 152 in their second innings, Bangladesh made the worst possible start to their chase when Roach bowled opener Zakir Hasan off an inside edge with the fifth ball of the innings.&nbsp;

Fellow opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy&nbsp;then edged Seales to Justin Greaves at third slip before Roach snapped Shahadat Hossain&nbsp;and Mominul Haque&nbsp;in quick succession to leave Bangladesh reeling at 23-4.

Litton Das led a mini-recovery but when he fell to Shamar Joseph, who saw four catches go down off his bowling, for 22, the visitors were in deep trouble at 59-5.

Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz went on the counter-attack with a 46-ball 45 before edging Seales to Joshua Da Silva behind the stumps. In his next over, Seales bowled Taijul Islam to end the day with 3-31.&nbsp;

WI vs BAN: Hosts on brink of victory in first Test against Bangladesh

The ICC has listed six players, three in the men’s and women’s categories, respectively, for the Player of the Month award (for August). Two Sri Lankans, two Irish, one South African and one West Indian, but no Indian player is among the nominees.&nbsp;

In the men’s category, ace South Africa spinner Keshav Maharaj, West Indian seamer Jayden Seales and emerging Sri Lankan all-rounder Dunith Wellalage are listed. On the other hand, in the women's category, two Irish cricketers, Gaby Lewis and Orla Prendergast, alongside Sri Lanka’s Harshitha Samarawickrama, were nominated.

Against India in the white-ball leg last month, Wellalage impressed one and all with his superb all-round skills. In the three-match ODIs, Wellalage scored 108 runs and picked up seven wickets, including a five-for (5/27) in the final game, which saw Sri Lanka win the One-Day series against India for the first time since 1997.&nbsp;

Maharaj also performed brilliantly in August. Against West Indies in the away Test series, Maharaj bagged 13 wickets, including 8/164 in the first Test and a five-for in the second innings of the second Test, ensuring a South African victory. His star performance saw him surpassing Hugh Tayfield to become South Africa's most successful Test spinner.

On the other hand, West Indies pacer Jayden Seales was as impactful during the South Africa Tests as any. He picked up 12 wickets at 18.08, including figures of 6/61 in the second Test. Though they eventually lost the match, his spell kept the hosts in the game.&nbsp;

<h2>Irish cricketers on the rise</h2>

Sri Lankan women’s batter Harshitha Samarawickrama was on the top of her game against Ireland during the white-ball series in August. After topping the runs chart in the shortest format, with scores of 86* and 65, Harshitha scored a stunning hundred (105) and 48* in the ODIs.

Orla Prendergast starred in the ODIs for Ireland, scoring 122* and picking valuable wickets during three One-Day games. Gaby Lewis played a match-winning knock of 119 off 75 balls in the second T20I, becoming the highest individual scorer for Ireland in this format.

Meanwhile, none of the Indians across both categories got nominated.&nbsp;
