Despite kagiso rabada: Cricket News & Match Updates

ICC World Test Championship Final: Despite Kagiso Rabada striking twice, Australia managed to take their lead past 100 after reaching 32/2 in 12 overs at tea on day two of the ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord’s on Thursday.

Australia first took a 74-run lead thanks to Pat Cummins' brilliance, who picked 6-28 in his 18.1 overs, thus getting into the Lord’s honours board and also reached the milestone of 300 Test wickets. Cummins further became the first fast-bowling captain since 1982 to take a five-wicket haul at Lord's.

At the close of second session, Australia’s lead stands at 106 runs and with Steve Smith (four not out) and Marnus Labuschagne (16 not out) at the crease, the current mace holders will be primed to make tons of runs and push the game out of South Africa’s reach.   Read More...
