                                                Pietersen threatens England exit

 Kevin Pietersen could have played his last game for England after conceding that there were deep, perhaps irrepairable, divisions with the ECB and some other members of the England dressing room.

Pietersen, who has been unsettled for some time by the demands of the England schedule, refused to confirm that the final Test of the series against South Africa at Lord's would not be his last and expressed his anger that private conversations between him and officials at the ECB had been leaked to the media.

England assault as South Africa keep command

England 48 for 0 (Strauss 19*, prepare food 20*) trail South Africa 419 (Petersen 182, Smith 52, Broad 3-96) by 371 sprints

Alviro Petersen had been the batsman in South Africa's top six that England least concerned about, the only one to fail throughout their crushing innings triumph at The Oval.

For Petersen to reply with 182, his highest check score, did not actually fit the script, particularly as the script also engaged England victorious the toss in the second check and putting South Africa in to bat, anticipating that their quartet of very quick bowlers would cause mayhem. Instead, the tourists endured until tea on the second day.

New Zealand ahead regardless of Samuels ton

New Zealand 260 and 59 for 2 (Guptill 42, Deonarine 2-3) lead West Indies 209 (Samuels 123, Boult 3-58, Bracewell 3-46) by 110 sprints

The conclusion to play four seamers paid dividends for New Zealand as they secured a first-innings lead of 51 on a day where West Indies, barring Marlon Samuels, took their eyes off the ball. A score of 260 shouldn't have been too daunting for West Indies to overhaul, but New Zealand's seamers bowled with control and respect to bundle out the hosts for 209. Samuels performed the lone had with a counterattacking 123, his first check century in the West Indies, but New Zealand not ever let proceed of the start from the morning meeting. The openers stretched the lead past 100 but a couple of late wickets provided a deflated West Indies unit some barrack.

England did not bear the public humiliation, to adopt the admission of Graeme Swann, which they had endured at The Oval, but until the advent of the second new ball their gilded status was put under the fiercest inspection on the unfastening day of the Headingley check as Alviro Petersen joined the parade of South Africa batsmen angled upon grinding them into the grime.

Petersen became the fourth South Africa batsman to take a years of England's attack with the second Test only a day vintage, following the demonstration of Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis in the unfastening rubber. It was an intensely assessed activity, strong through the leg side, and when he come to both his fifty and then his century by dragging first Tim Bresnan and then Stuart very wide it was a perfect summation.



West Indies 11 for 0 trail New Zealand 260 (Taylor 60, Guptill 71, Roach 4-70) by 249 sprints

West Indies accomplished what was expected of them after triumphant the toss and opting to bowl, that was to bowl the opponents out. Kemar Roach justified his captain's decision with a four-wicket haul, backed by Tino Best, to constraint the labouring New Zealand side to 260 on a Sabina reserve throw which suggested something more to the seamers on the unfastening day than the surface at Antigua. New Zealand, though, conveyed it on themselves with a sequence of poor shots and as a outcome they could not ever hold West Indies under pressure for maintained periods.

Virat Kohli was one time afresh the architect of a successful Indian follow, one that clinched the ODI sequence for India - they took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match affray. Kohli anchored India's response to 251, and was assisted along by Suresh Raina, who struck his third half-century of the sequence, each of which came in an India win. Both had their instants of fortune, just when Sri Lanka had fought their way back, but one time set, they advanced the goal assuredly, not ever allowing the required-rate to proceed above six and often being imperious in their shot-making. A game that promised to be close at one issue finally made a comprehensive victor.

It turned out to be a bitter-sweet day for the visitors. Martin Guptill undid nearly three meetings of hard work with an impetuous slog that rejected him a much-deserved third check years. Though New Zealand battled hard, they will gaze back and rue all four dismissals because they gifted them away. West Indies, to their borrowing, bowled well in magic charms, and would have wanted for better comes back had the bowlers been backed by better fielding. Sunil Narine looked his potent self late in the day to lift West Indies' spirits after they looked a feel deflated following a wicket-less morning meeting.

What New Zealand required was a solid batting effort to reimburse for their failures in the ODIs. At least one of the openers required to bat through the day and Guptill had all but accomplished that. He had been underachieving as a check batsman, and hence shunned the Indian Premier League to head to Derbyshire to sharpen his skills in the longer format. He furthermore required to improve his check record against better-quality attacks - his two other centuries had come against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

It nearly blows you off your feet; the reduced stands and lawn banks are no barriers at all.

Batsmen have to be very cautious the strong breeze doesn't hurl them off their stance, as Virender Sehwag said today. That is not their biggest concern, though.
