Suresh Raina takes a blinder during IND-L vs AUS-L match; watch video

Former India player Suresh Raina showed great athleticism on the field during the semi-final match of Road Safety World Series T20 match between India Legends and Australia Legends as he took a stunning catch to dismiss Ben Dunk at the end of the 16th over in Raipur.

Dunk cut a length ball from Abhimanyu Mithun in the air and Raina dived to his left and grabbed a stunner.

India Legends had put Australia Legends into bat and Shane Watson and Alex Doolan provided the side with a brilliant start as the two put 60 runs on the board for the first wicket. The Shane Watson-led side lost wickets at regular intervals but kept scoring runs at a decent pace and they were 136/5 in 17 overs when the match was halted due to rain and eventually was called off for the day.

The game has now been rescheduled for Thursday and will be continued from the same point at 3:30pm (IST). Mithun had picked two wickets for 15 runs in three overs for India Legends.

The second semi-final will be played between Sri Lanka Legends and West Indies Legends on Thursday evening while the final will be held on Saturday.

A three-year wait for a goal ended for Mee with a header from Ashley Westwood’s free kick in the 62nd minute, moving Burnley up to eighth in the English Premier League — seven points from the Champions League places with six games to go. Burnley was without Jay Rodriguez — the match-winner against Watford on Thursday — and due to a lack of options Sean Dyche could replace him with only defender Erik Pieters. “Coming into the night with a depleted squad, with only one senior boy on the bench, and playing like we did tonight, it shows the character, it shows we’re together," Mee told Amazon Prime. “To get a goal is nice. I’ve had chances cleared off the line or good saves so it’s nice to finally get one in. "It wasn’t a great ball from Westy (Westwood), it wasn’t what we worked on but you’ve got...

England vs New Zealand: Joe Root aims for Black Caps and India sweep ahead of Ashes

Joe Root believes there will be no better way for England to prepare to regain the Ashes in Australia later this year than by completing a home clean sweep of New Zealand and India. The England captain will lead his side in the first of a two-match series against New Zealand at Lord's on Wednesday, with five more Tests against India before the English season is finished. India, top of the Test rankings, and second-placed New Zealand will contest the inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton, southern England, later this month.

But such a viewpoint was labelled "limited, narrow and delusional" by former England captain Mike Atherton in The Times on Tuesday. Root, however, saw no conflict between England's short and long-term goals. "There's going to b...
