Live Score card of India v Sri Lanka of the 1st ODI

At 40, challenges still exist for Sanath Jayasuriya. The Sri Lankan team management, led by captain Kumar Sangakkara, has decided to push Jayasuriya down the order to make better use of the allrounder. Jayasuriya admitted it was a "big challenge" for him to return to the position where he had started his career.

"Since 1995, I have not opened unless I was coming back from an injury. So it is a big challenge, which for the last 15 years I haven't faced," Jayasuriya told Cricinfo on the eve of Sri Lanka's first ODI in Rajkot. "But I have taken up the challenge and I will work hard to perform." Article by Cricinfo.

Live Score card of New Zealand vs Pakistan of the 2nd test!

The 2nd day of 2nd Test Match of the Pakistan tour of New Zealand is scheduled in between Pakistan and New Zealand today played at Basin Reserve, Wellington 4 December 2009.

It's a venue that Pakistan's bowlers have enjoyed more than any other side over the last two decades, and they celebrated the Basin Reserve's 50 Test in fitting style, destroying New Zealand's top order with another clinical performance which left them superbly placed to level the series. After extending their first innings to 264, thanks largely to Kamran Akmal's enterprising 70, the bowlers immediately got down to business, exploiting the conditions and the huge flaws in the techniques of the New Zealand batsmen, bundling them out for 99 and extending their overall lead to 229 by close of play.

Save for a brief four-over period when New Zealand took the last three Pakistan wickets and a little period just before close of play, the day belonged entirely to the visitors. Mohammad Aamer did his by now customary trick of taking a wicket in his first over (is he the new first-over specialist after Daryl Tuffey?) and consistently bowled in the mid-140s kph, Mohammad Asif operated in his usual channel around off and seamed the ball both ways, Gul was the perfect first-change bowler who offered the New Zealanders no respite, while Danish Kaneria befuddled the lower order with his bag of tricks.
