Pakistan v South Africa, 2nd Test, Dubai, 3rd day: Misery for Pakistan as openers fall
Pakistan 99 & 56/3 (28.0 overs) and South Africa 517, Pakistan trail by 362 runs with 7 wickets remaining
Pakistan had to endure 83 overs without a wicket during the triple-century stand between Graeme Smith and AB de Villiers. Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander, on the other hand, needed only 11 balls in ten minutes before lunch to get rid of Pakistan's openers, as the second Test moved towards an increasingly inevitable South African victory on the third day.
Bangladesh v NZ, 2nd Test, Mirpur, 5th day: Bangladesh impress but rain forces draw
Bangladesh 282 (Tamim 95, Wagner 5-64) and 269 for 3 (Mominul 126*, Tamim 70) drew with New Zealand 437 (Anderson 116, Watling 70*, Shakib 5-103)
Overnight rain and a persistent light drizzle through the day ruined the last day's play in the second Test, in Mirpur. That meant Bangladesh had registered their second successive drawn series after finishing 1-1 against Zimbabwe in April this year. The 0-0 result against New Zealand, a team ranked higher than them in the Test rankings, is a fine result for the home side. They have now drawn three Tests against New Zealand in eleven matches.
The covers came on and off twice in Mirpur in the morning session, but they remained on since 11.00am. The rain never progressed into a downpour, but it was enough to bring everything to a standstill.
Mominul Haque, with his 376 runs in four innings, and Sohag Gazi, with eight wickets, take the top positions in the batting and bowling charts for the series. For New Zealand, Kane Williamson is the top run-scorer with 250 runs, while Neil Wagner's seven-wicket tally ranks the best among his team's bowlers.
Mominul, however, missed a chance to topple Habibul Bashar's record for aggregate runs in a series by a Bangladesh batsman. Bashar had made 379 runs against Pakistan in a three-match series in 2003. Mominul's tally is second on the list.
The two teams now play a three-match ODI series, starting on October 29. New Zealand depart from Bangladesh on November 7, a day after the one-off Twenty20.
They touched down in Perth for the five-Test tour barely two months after wrapping up a 3-0 home series win over Australia, and they will once again look to capitalise on their opponent`s fragile batting. Australia chopped and changed batsmen and their position in the order throughout the last campaign and they paid the price, with coach Darren Lehmann promising more stability this time round.
England spinner Graeme Swann said on arrival that the team was "always confident".
"If we play our good cricket, then it should be a great series. Can`t wait to get cracking," he said. But Cook denied England will be complacent after being dominant against their arch-rivals for so long, particularly with an anticipated hostile reception expected from the home fans.
Graeme Smith smashed a double century and AB de Villiers hit a robust hundred to guide South Africa to an imperious position in the must-win second Test against Pakistan in Dubai on Thursday. South African skipper made 227 not out for his fifth double ton while De Villiers -- dropped off the first delivery by wicket-keeper Adnan Akmal off paceman Mohammad Irfan -- was unbeaten on 157 for his 17th Test century.
The duo plundered a hapless Pakistan attack to take South Africa to 460-4 at close on the second day, giving them a big 361-run lead with three full days to play to force a series-levelling win. Pakistan won the first Test by seven wickets in Abu Dhabi last week.
Smith and De Villiers have set an all time South African record for the fifth wicket in Tests with 326, beating the previous best of 267 set by Jacques Kallis and Ashwell Prince against the West Indies at Antigua in 2005.
Tendulkar wanted BCCI to schedule his final Test match in Mumbai
The Mumbai Cricket Association today issued a statement on behalf of retiring great Sachin Tendulkar saying the senior India player was "more than happy" to play his final Test in the city and he would be pleased whichever way MCA chooses to felicitate him.
However, it was learnt that Tendulkar is upset with reports that MCA is to gift him a special painting on November 11 at the official felicitation when the association's Kandivli facility will be named after him.
Tendulkar is set to play his 199th Test at Kolkata's Eden Gardens, which happens to be the first game of the two-match rubber against the West Indies, from November 6-10 before playing in his and the series' last game here.

Sachin Tendulkar is more than happy to play in Mumbai in front of his home crowd. He just wants his mother to be present when he plays his last Test. This is his main wish. Whichever way MCA honours him is acceptable to him," said MCA's joint secretary Dr P V Shetty today.The MCA official did not elaborate what provoked such a statement being issued on behalf of the celebrated cricketer, who will bow out of the game after playing his landmark 200th Test against the visiting West Indies team at the Wankhede Stadium here from November 14-18.

The knock, which included 20 fours and 10 sixes, was the highest one-day domestic individual score, beating the 187 Jimmy Maher scored for Queensland against Western Australia in 2004. With three centuries in four matches in the competition, Warner has accumulated 527 runs at an average of 75 - a run of form that will not have been missed by selectors with the first Ashes test less than a month away.
Warner was left out of Australia's limited overs squads for the ongoing tour of India and his international career remains precarious after a number of disciplinary offences. Stood down after punching England batsman Joe Root at a Birmingham nightspot in the leadup to the first Ashes series of the year, Warner missed out on the first two tests.
That came three weeks after a highly-publicised Twitter rant against two Australian journalists which led to a fine and a dressing down from national governing body Cricket Australia. Warner's innings on Thursday helped New South Wales to victory by four wickets and they will play Queensland in the final on Sunday.

Mohammad Shami picked up three wickets and impressed both MS Dhoni and George Bailey. Rattled by Mohammed Shami's three-wicket burst with the new ball in the abandoned fourth ODI, Australian skipper George Bailey has instructed his batsmen to watch out for the rookie Indian pacer in the remaining games of the ongoing seven-match series.
Taken aback by Shami's pace and swing, Bailey said: "Obviously Shami bowled very well. He's someone we haven't seen in the series and he was a little bit quicker than what we expected. He certainly got movement off the seam," Bailey told reporters after the fourth one-dayer at the JSCA Stadium on Wednesday.
"That's something to be pretty aware of for the rest of the series. That's obviously what's going to be coming at us," he said. Shami rocked the Australian top-order but half-centuries from Bailey (98) and Glenn Maxwell (92) in a record 153-run fifth wicket stand enabled them to post a challenging 295/8.
However, rain played spoilsport when India were 27 for no loss after 4.1 overs and the match was abandoned with Australia continuing to lead the series 2-1. Amassing 318 runs, Bailey on Wednesday became the first Australia skipper to go past 300 in any bilateral ODI series.
Yet a modest Bailey said it was ridiculous for him to think of making to the Ashes squad in the Australian summer. "I think there's probably eight guys who have got a chance of playing in that Ashes team. It's so far away. It's just ridiculous to look at it," Bailey said.

Pakistan 99 and South Africa 337/4 (101.0 overs)
South Africa lead by 238 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Graeme Smith strolled to his 27th century and AB de Villiers his 17th century in the second session of the second morning against Pakistan, helping South Africa to a healthy 238 runs lead in Dubai.
Pakistan bowlers managed just the one wicket, that of nightwatchman Dale Steyn, and were thwarted for around 90 minutes by an unbeaten 203-runs stand between Smith and AB de Villiers.
