Gary Kirsten has resigned as Pakistan’s limited-overs coach after six months in the role and Test coach Jason Gillespie will be in charge for the white-ball tour of Australia which starts next week. The former South Africa batter was appointed on a two-year contract in April at the same time as Gillespie took over the Test side. Kirsten is reported …

In England’s second innings, Stokes was bizarrely lbw playing no shot to spinner Noman Ali. England were ultimately skittled for 112, their lowest total in Pakistan, setting the hosts towards a nine-wicket win. “He is disappointed, naturally,” said McCullum. “We all know how competitive and driven the skipper is.

In the same Test, Root made 262, and in doing so he passed Sir Alastair Cook’s previous England best …

For Brook, who admitted he was merely trying to beat his father David’s highest score of 210, it was also testament to a fitness regime implemented when he missed England’s tour of India earlier this year. Leaner, more agile in the field and with perhaps the safest pair of hands in the England team, Brook said he would have “got …
