England are 2-0 down with 3 to play, meaning they need 3 wins from 3 to win the Ashes. Things started well with wickets before lunch before Mitch Marsh went ballistic and smashed an amazing ton. England dropped a load of catches along the way, which was atrocious. A comeback from 2-0 down is a feat which hasn't happened in almost 100 years. Heading to Headingley, a happy hunting ground for them in...

The rain-impacted IPL final saw Gujurat Titans take on CSK with this year's two best teams demonstrating their skill on the biggest stage. The 214 posted by GT was a huge mountain to climb but the rain helped CSK get an adjustment target from 15 overs and they went for it from ball one, even with Noor Ahmed producing a wicked spell the boundaries kept coming. Conway, Rayudu and Rahane led the way,...
