England

England hosted Ukraine at Wembley after having beaten reigning European champions Italy away three days previously. Harry Kane tapped in Bukayo Saka's cross after 37 minutes and Saka curled in a close-range volley three minutes later, reports Xinhua. The visitors failed to make any threat with only three attempts on goal.

Moeen has already retired from Test cricket and only plays white-ball cricket for England and in franchise leagues all around the world. The 35-year-old has made it clear that the World Cup in India is a clear priority but has floated the idea of subsequently stepping away from the format, "I don't set a lot of goals, but I want to play that World Cup, be a part of that World Cup and hopefully win that World Cup and then we'll see.

Gardner won the award back in December and her inspirational all-round form in February earned her the Player of the Tournament prize as Australia claimed a sixth global T20 crown. Sciver-Brunt followed up her recent ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year Award with a string of impressive batting performances, steering England to another World Cup semifinal.

Jadeja is on the shortlist for the first time after inspiring a dominant start to the series for India in their World Test Championship battle against Australia. Brook continues to thrive in Test cricket, and yet more explosive scoring during England's series in New Zealand last month earns him another nomination for the award, following his win back in December.

Trailing by 226 runs, New Zealand came up with a defiant effort in their second innings to reach 202 for 3 in 83 overs, still trailing England by 26 runs. With seven-second innings wickets in hand, New Zealand, who won the toss and elected to field, will be hoping to gain a substantial lead to force England on the back foot.

Brook was well on course for his maiden double ton but showers in the final session brought an early end to the day with the 24-year-old unbeaten on 184 off just 169 balls - including 24 fours and 5 sixes, driving England to 315-3 at stumps. At the other end, he had Joe Root for company, who notched up his 29th Test hundred (101 not out).

Stokes -- who played at now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017 and for Rajasthan Royals, too, from 2018-2021 in the IPL -- will join Chennai Super Kings for a signing amount of INR 16.25 crore, the joint-third most expensive player in the IPL 2023 player auction held last year.

The England batters warmed up for the knockout stages with a thrilling display, smashing Pakistan's attack to all corners of Newlands as they reached 213/5 in their 20 overs, reports ICC. And the reply never really got going as Pakistan ended their tournament in disappointing fashion, managing to avoid being bowled out, but finishing on 99/9.

Evergreen duo James Anderson and Stuart Broad, who created history on Saturday when they overtook Australia greats Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath to become the teammates with the most wickets in Test history, were at it again to wrap up the Test triumph for England in style. On Sunday, Anderson collected two wickets in as many balls to send Scott Kuggeleijn and Tim Southee packing early in the session.

That left New Zealand just 19 runs adrift of England's first innings score of 325. But the visitors added quick runs and will resume on 79/2 on Saturday afternoon in the Day/Night match, 98 runs ahead and with eight wickets including first-innings star Harry Brook, former captain Joe Root and skipper Ben Stokes still to come.
