A century-plus stand between James Vince and Mark Stoneman helped England take the driver’s seat at the end of third day’s play of the second Test against New Zealand at Hagley Oval. Prior to that, the hosts were bundled up for 278 in the morning session, giving England a handy lead of 29 runs.

The Three Lions started their second innings on a shaky note as Alastair Cook returned to the pavilion on 14.

However, Stoneman (60) and Vince (76) steadied the ship, with a 123-run stand. Both the players were dismissed in the final session before bad light ended play with England on 202-3.

England’s overall lead is now extended to 231.

Hasin Jahan approaches Delhi Daredevils:

Hasin Jahan, an estranged wife of India pacer Mohammed Shami, has sought Delhi Daredevils help, requesting them to bar her husband from playing in the eleventh edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Jahan had previously accused Shami of having extra-marital affairs and domestic violence. She had also claimed that the pacer was involved in match-fixing. As a result, the Board of Control for Cricket in India had withheld Shami’s contract.

However, the board later cleared Shami and handed him his contract.

Jahan has now knocked the Daredevils’ door. She met the Delhi franchise’s CEO, Hemant Dua, recently in an attempt to roadblock Shami’s career.
