04-Aug-2017•Sidharth Monga at SSC

India raid the fruit orchard

In happier times, Sri Lanka's pep can withstand a few boundaries and aggressive opposition batsmen. This team, however, is low on reserves of self-belief, which was evident throughout a chastening first day at the SSC

03-Aug-2017•Andrew Fidel Fernando at the SSC

Same old Pujara, all-new approach

While scoring his 13th Test hundred, Cheteshwar Pujara showed a new-found willingness to take calculated risks to manipulate Sri Lanka's fields and open up his favoured scoring areas

03-Aug-2017•Sidharth Monga at the SSC

Seeds of England victory sown long before hat-trick finish

Toby Roland-Jones, who had a starring role on his Test debut, came through a scheme that is under threat

31-Jul-2017•George Dobell at The Oval

Elgar's fight can't make up for Philander gamble

It was not Vernon Philander's fault that South Africa were badly beaten at The Oval with the batting, especially, under scrutiny

31-Jul-2017•Firdose Moonda at The Oval

South Africa's catalogue of errors

Faf du Plessis' deja vu dismissal padding up was the lowlight of a mistake-riddled performance from South Africa

31-Jul-2017•Jarrod Kimber at The Oval

SA need to scratch their opener itch

Stephen Cook was discarded and Heino Kuhn has struggled to make the step up, while a younger option in Aiden Markram awaits his chance

30-Jul-2017•Firdose Moonda at The Oval

Will Roland-Jones be England's third man?

James Anderson and Stuart Broad have been almost ever-present for England this decade, but they have had a revolving cast of support

30-Jul-2017•George Dobell

Being Temba Bavuma

He has become adept at rescue acts but Temba Bavuma is still looking to solidify his place in South Africa's Test side

29-Jul-2017•Firdose Moonda

Testing conditions expose South Africa's top order

Even when South Africa have been winning in recent times it's been despite a lack of big hundreds from the main batsmen

28-Jul-2017•Firdose Moonda at The Oval

Magical day keeps Roland-Jones grinning from start to finish

Whether it was during his dashing tail-end cameo with the bat or his stunning first-change spell with the ball, Toby Roland-Jones was all smiles on day two of his England Test debut

28-Jul-2017•Jarrod Kimber at the Oval

Mature ton demonstrates Stokes' growth

Ben Stokes' most complete Test hundred came at a vital moment for England and set the example for his team-mates to follow

28-Jul-2017•George Dobell

Sri Lanka need to solve the Dilruwan Perera conundrum

By impressing in the role he hasn't been picked for, the frontline spinner has made his case as a batting allrounder

28-Jul-2017•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Galle

Back-up man Abhinav Mukund makes peace with his role

From being on the verge of giving up the game five years ago to making a comeback on the sheer weight of his runs, the stand-in India opener has come quite some way

28-Jul-2017•Sidharth Monga in Galle

Why captains choose not to follow-on these days

From 1981 till the famous Kolkata Test of 2001, almost 91% of the teams who could did enforce the follow-on in a Test. Since then, that number has dropped to 56.70%

28-Jul-2017•Shiva Jayaraman and Srinath Sripath

Hundred eludes Cook but innings has tons of value

His record against South Africa remains Cook's worst against any Test nation, but his 88 at The Oval could prove hugely significance

28-Jul-2017•Jarrod Kimber at The Oval

Cook's openness a lesson for England

Alastair Cook has benefited greatly from the advice of Gary Palmer - is it time for the ECB to change its stance on using him as a batting coach?

27-Jul-2017•George Dobell at Kia Oval

Philander leaves England feeling queasy

Vernon Philander became ill shortly before the start of the Test but it did not stop him producing three high-class spells of seam bowling

27-Jul-2017•Firdose Moonda at The Oval

India's footwork puts Sri Lanka in a spin

While India's spinners have looked dangerous, Sri Lanka's have been rendered rather ineffective courtesy the visiting batsmen's consistent stepping out

27-Jul-2017•Sidharth Monga in Galle

Fortunate Dhawan directs his sail

A player making a comeback could easily have been content with hundred more routine than 190 off 168 balls, but that's where Shikhar Dhawan did more
