PAK vs ENG: England captain set to miss 3rd T20 to be with wife on child birth
LONDON: England captain Jos Buttler won't be playing today's Twenty20 international against Pakistan as he had left the squad to be with his wife, who will has given birth to the couple's third child.
The 33-year-old England captain struck a match-winning 84 as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the rain-affected four-game series with a 23-run win in Birmingham on Saturday.But he is now set to miss today's T20 in Cardiff, with vice-captain Moeen Ali in line to lead England at Sophia Gardens instead.
Ben Duckett could be brought in to open in Buttler's absence or England could promote Will Jacks from No 3 after he made 37 off 23 balls against Pakistan at Birmingham's Edgbaston ground.
Surrey all-rounder Jacks recently returned from a stint in the T20 Indian Premier League, where he made a dashing unbeaten hundred to lead Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a nine-wicket win over Gujarat Titans...GENEVA: Novak Djokovic on Tuesday said Rafael Nadal was his favourite to win the French Open, despite the record 14-time champion struggling for fitness in the twilight of his career.
World number one Djokovic is tuning up at the Geneva Open this week before the second Grand Slam of the year begins in Paris.
He said if Nadal was in the French Open draw, he could not be ruled out, despite his injury problems and growing competition from a younger generation.
“This year is more open,” French Open defending champion Djokovic told reporters at the Parc des Eaux-Vives grounds in Geneva.
“Casper Ruud is surely one of the five players who are candidates to win. You have Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas — all the players who won a major tournament on this surface this year.
“But when you talk about Roland-Garros and Nadal is there, he is always the biggest favourite for me. After everything he has done on the courts at Roland-Garros, it’s normal, respectfully to put him as the biggest favourite. Obviously it’s a little different with his level of play. But it’s Roland-Garros, and it’s Nadal.
“After that, maybe me, if I feel good, if I play well. At Roland-Garros, and all the Grand Slams, I am a bit of a different player.”
Djokovic, who turns 37 on Wednesday, took a wild card to play in Geneva in a bid to rescue an alarming dip in form ahead of his French Open title defence next week.
The 28-man Swiss clay court tournament serves as a final warm-up.
The record 24-time Grand Slam champion will arrive in Paris without a title in the season for the first time since 2018, unless he wins Geneva.
While time has caught up with Nadal, 37, Djokovic said he was hungry to keep playing at the top.
“I’m searching for my highest possible level,” he said. “It’s not an obligation. It’s truly my desire, my feeling, my passion, my love for tennis. That’s the most important. I’m seeking to stay connected with that feeling.”
Djokovic’s preparations for the French Open have been far from ideal, beginning with a loss to Ruud in the Monte Carlo semi-finals.
He then opted to skip the Madrid Open before losing in the third round of the Italian Open, two days after he was hit on the head by a fan’s water bottle while signing autographs.
The Serbian, who said he felt out of sorts during his 6-,2 6-3 loss to Alejandro Tabilo, told reporters: “The head is good. All is well. I’ve trained for over a week and I’m feeling fine.
“I’ve dedicated quite a bit of time with my new fitness coach to build the endurance, to build physical strength and capabilities that I need in order to play a best-of-five Grand Slam on the physically most demanding surface, which is clay. So, hopefully, I’m going to get more than one match here in Geneva, that’s the goal and then let’s see what happens in Paris. The reason why I chose to come and play is because I feel like, at this moment, there is no better practice for me than match play.”
If he were to move up the order for England on Tuesday, Jacks would be opening the batting alongside Phil Salt, a player he knows well from their time in franchise cricket.
"I think we're both very comfortable," Jacks told Sky Sports. "Me and Phil have played a lot of cricket together — we've played franchise cricket together which definitely helps when we come to England.
The 25-year-old added: "We understand each others' games very well and we're both that kind of free-flowing, top-order batters everyone has nowadays."
This series, which concludes at The Oval in London on Thursday, is serving as a warm-up for the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the United States, with reigning champions England starting their title defence against Scotland in Barbados on June 4.
England Women vs Pakistan Women, third ODI LIVE! Text commentary and in-play video clips
Updates from the third one-day international between England Women and Pakistan Women in Chelmsford. Watch live on Sky Sports Cricket.It looks like Kate Cross is to start the Pakistan run-chase with a maiden, but then she oversteps to finish - no-ball.
England had a problem with extras during their win in the second ODI... so hopefully not a sign of things to come.
The resulting free hit at least doesn't prove too costly, just a single as Sadaf pulls a shorter delivery out to the fielder at deep square-leg.England batter Nat Sciver-Brunt, speaking to Sky Sports:
"It felt fun. We had a little bit of a tricky period around 80 or 90, but on the whole, really happy.
"I'm not very good at guessing par, but I'd say getting 300 is pretty good.
"With the bowlers we have, I'd say we're on for defending it.
"It was great to get to that century."Huge shot from Sciver-Brunt as Diana overpitches an attempted yorker which is carted into the stands for six - and she follows that with clubbing the next delivery back down the ground for six.
Then Sciver-Brunt finds the gap with a shorter delivery which is sent back through the covers for four, followed by a single.
Capsey follows up with two off the last as well to make it 20 runs from the over.Fatima is back on for only her sixth over of the day and some fine fielding from Muneeba limits Caspey to just two after steering the ball behind her.
She follows that with a single and then Sciver-Brunt comes up with a wonderful scoop shot to find the boundary and move two away from her century.
She repeats that shot and brings up her ninth ODI 100 in the process with another boundary, with another four off the last which evades the diving Aliya in the deep.A single for Sciver-Brunt takes England to the 250 mark with five overs remaining, but they only manage one more single for Capsey off Dar's penultimate over.Oh, a let-off for Sciver-Brunt as she gets an edge on one, but the wicketkeeper can't take the ball for what could have been a catch or a stumping.
She makes the most of that as she sweeps Nashra away for four followed by adding a single, and Capsey runs two more off the last.Over 38 - England 217-5 (Capsey 1, Sciver-Brunt 79)
Alice Capsey is the next batter in and straight away she's off the mark with a single, followed by Sciver-Brunt carving one into the leg side for a single.
There's a hopeful lbw shout against Capsey off the last ball as well, but it's given not out and Pakistan don't review.
Sabalenka, Ruud light up Roland Garros after rain wreaks havoc on schedule
PARIS: Second seed Aryna Sabalenka and two-time French Open finalist Casper Ruud launched their bid for a maiden title in Paris as they eased past their respective opponents on a cold, rainy day in the first-round on Tuesday.
Spectators at Roland Garros were largely starved of action with the weather preventing any chance of play on the outer courts before 4 p.m. local time, the proceedings were limited to the two main showcourts — Philippe Chatrier and Suzanne Lenglen — both of which have retractable roofs.
Sabalenka, who is looking to clinch her second Grand Slam crown of the year, recorded a breezy 6-1, 6-2 win over Russian teenager Erika Andreeva while Ruud eased past Brazilian qualifier Felipe Alves 6-3, 6-4, 6-3.
The 26-year-old Sabalenka, who successfully defended her Australian Open title earlier this year, arrived at Roland Garros as a top contender after strong results in the European clay swing and wasted little time to get going on Court Philippe Chatrier.
After breaking in the fourth game when 19-year-old Andreeva hit a double fault, Sabalenka fired up her forehand to quickly build up a 5-1 lead and closed out the opening set when her opponent sent a shot wide.
The Belarusian pounced on world number 100 Andreeva’s serve again to grab the lead in the second set before handing the break back while attempting a chip from deep, but last year’s semi-finalist promptly surged ahead 4-2 after saving more breakpoints.
Having neutralised the increased threat from Andreeva, she wrapped up the contest on serve in 68 minutes, finishing it off on her third matchpoint with a sublime drop shot at the net to huge cheers from the crowd...“I’m trying to do well on clay, it is tough conditions here but I enjoy playing here and I’m just trying to bring my best tennis every time — whatever the surface,” said Sabalenka.
Meanwhile, Ruud, fresh from his win in Geneva last week, looked confident on the Paris clay, serving close to 90% first serves as he sped past the Brazilian in under two hours.
“I think it’s been a good clay season for me. Madrid and Rome could’ve gone a bit better. It wasn’t what I hoped for. But other results went well. All in all I’m happy.”
Ruud, a losing finalist in the previous two editions of the French Open, earned three break points at 3-2 and more on the Brazilian’s next service game before snatching a break on his seventh opportunity to go 5-3 up and bag the first set.
Alves had matched Ruud’s power game for about an hour but gradually the mistakes piled up as Ruud did not give a single break point away in the entire second set.Another early break in the third saw Ruud firmly in the driving seat and the 25-year-old sealed his win in just under two hour.
Frenchwoman Alize Cornet’s career ended with a straight-sets defeat by Zheng Qinwen in her record-extending 69th consecutive Grand Slam appearance.
Cornet was no match for China’s Australian Open runner-up Zheng, losing 6-2, 6-1.
She made her debut at Roland Garros as a 15-year-old in 2005 and has not missed a Grand Slam tournament since the 2006 US Open.
Cornet reached a career-high ranking of 11th in 2009 and enjoyed a surprise run to the 2022 Australian Open quarter-finals.
“I already cried yesterday watching Rafa,” said a tearful Cornet after seeing Nadal lose what was likely his last match at the French Open on Monday.
Over on Court Suzanne Lenglen, former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina powered into the second round with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Belgian Greet Minnen.
Kazakh world number four Rybakina is the only player to defeat Swiatek on clay this season, in the Stuttgart semi-finals in April.
Australian Alex De Minaur thumped Alex Michelsen, Petra Martic overcame Kristina Mladenovic and Arantxa Rus stunned three-times Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber in the few matches that were completed on the outside courts.
In Tuesday’s late matches, Daniil Medvedev had lost in the first round on five of his previous seven Roland Garros appearances, but made no mistake this time, seeing off Dominik Koepfer 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3.
Sixth-seeded Greek Maria Sakkari bowed out in the first round for the second straight year with a 6-3, 4-6, 3-6 loss to Varvara Gracheva.
