India’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in action against Sri Lanka A in the tri-nation series final in Dambulla on Sunday. India’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed the fastest half-century in List A cricket history on Sunday, reaching the milestone in just 11 balls in Dambulla but staying unfazed after his breakout season.The 15-year-old blazed 94 off 29 deliveries in India’s 66-run win over Sri Lanka A in the tri-nation series final, striking 10 fours and eight sixes to power his side to 377-9.Sri Lanka were dismissed for 311 in reply, handing India victory.Sooryavanshi, who earned his maiden India A call-up for the one-day international tri-series, is fresh off a standout Indian Premier League season, where he topped the scoring charts with 776 runs in 16 matches and set a new benchmark with 65 sixes, surpassing Chris Gayle’s record."I didn’t think too much. I just wanted to make the most of the first 10 overs and execute my plans,” he told reporters."There was no pressure. I worked on areas that weren’t going well, and today everything came together."I’ve learned a lot. I’ve played 50-over cricket quite a bit, even if people don’t realise it. The conditions were different, but it was a good experience.”His performances for Rajasthan Royals made him the first player in IPL history to be named both Most Valuable Player and Best Emerging Player. India have named him in their squad for the upcoming Twenty20 International series against Ireland and England, where he could become the youngest player to represent India in men’s internationals, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar, who debuted aged 16. BRIEF SCORES India A 377 for 9 (Sooryavanshi 94, Tilak 67, Gaikwad 40, Sahan 2-39) beat Sri Lanka A 311 (Sahan 62, Samarawickrama 52, Thakur 3-45, Nigam 3-60) by 66 runs Related Story

Matt Henry did the damage as New Zealand thrashed England by 253 runs in the second Test at the Oval on Sunday for a series-levelling victory as England confirmed Ben Stokes would return as captain for the deciding third Test.Stokes was dropped for breaching a team curfew following his side's win in the series opener at Lord's.'Ben will be back. He'll be back as captain,' said England head coach Brendon McCullum after the match.Fast-medium bowler Henry's sensational spell of four wickets for no runs in 12 balls saw England, who were 182-5 overnight, collapse to 192-9.Henry finished the match by bowling Jordan Cox as England, who were chasing a record-breaking 463 to win, were dismissed for 209.New Zealand needed just 48 minutes play on Sunday's fifth day at the Oval to square the three-match series at 1-1 ahead of next week's decider in Nottingham.Henry's superb second-innings return of 6-29, allied to his five-wicket haul in England's first-innings 5-80, gave him overall figures of 11-109.Henry's maiden 10-wicket haul in a Test was also the best by any New Zealand bowler against England, surpassing Dion Nash's 11-169 at Lord's back in 1994.'I probably didn't expect things to unfold like that today,' said Henry, the player of the match. With the ball, we talked about being relentless. We stuck at it and it was nice to get the rewards.''SPEARHEAD'New Zealand captain Tom Latham added: 'We thought hitting the top of off stump repetitively was the way to go on this surface and Matt Henry is a good exponent of that...He has been a spearhead for some time.'Shortly before play started on Sunday, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced that both Stokes and Gus Atkinson, also omitted this week for breaking curfew, had been withdrawn from county action with Durham and Surrey respectively.It was a clear hint the duo would be recalled to England duty at Trent Bridge and they were each included in a 15-man squad announced later Sunday for the third Test.But the ECB added that they both been given written warnings after breaching 'specific contractual obligations' that require England players at all times to maintain the highest standards of conduct and act in the best interests of England cricket.Nevertheless, they cleared the pair of responsibility for a violent altercation in a London nightclub with Saracens rugby player Totoa Auvaa.The ECB said Stokes had no part in and did not witness Auvaa's two attempts to confront paceman Atkinson, whom it added was 'the victim of unprovoked attacks' to which he did not retaliate. ENGLAND RESUMED ALL BUT BEATENEngland resumed all but beaten at 182-5, needing a further 281 runs for victory.Their hopes of an improbable win rested with stand-in captain Joe Root, 75 not out overnight.But Root had added just two runs to his score when he was plumb lbw to Henry.With an England side showing five changes, including three debutants, from the one Stokes led at Lord's, a lengthy tail was exposed by Henry.Two balls after Root's exit, the 34-year-old clean bowled Jofra Archer for a duck, with a delivery that kept low.New batsman Matthew Fisher had made a maiden Test fifty in the first innings, but on Sunday he was clean bowled for nought by Henry.With the next ball, the paceman had new batsman Josh Tongue edging to Daryl Mitchell in the slips for a golden duck, with England on the brink at 192-9.A double-wicket maiden (a bowler removing two batsmen in the same over without conceding a run) is rare in Test cricket, but Henry, hampered by back spasms at Lord's, now had two in a row.The end was not long in coming as Henry bowled Cox to seal an emphatic victory which saw both New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips and Henry Nicholls, who replaced retired batting great Kane Williamson, hit hundreds. BRIEF SCORES New Zealand 391 (Phillips 101, Blundell 51, Bethell 3-26) and 362 (Nicholls 121, Ravindra 76, Mitchell 68) beat England 291 (Gay 53, Fisher 50*, Henry 5-80) and 209 (Root 75*, Brook 54, Jamieson 3-37) by 253 runs

England's Ben Stokes in action during the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's Cricket Ground, London, Britain, on June 7, 2026. (Reuters) Captain Ben Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson will return for England’s third Test against New Zealand in Nottingham following the conclusion of a disciplinary hearing, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Sunday.The pair were suspended from the second test after a curfew breach at a London nightclub and were reportedly present when a member of England's security staff was involved in an incident with a Saracens rugby player following England’s first-Test win.Stokes missed England's second match as New Zealand levelled the series with a 253-run victory at The Oval on Sunday.Earlier, head coach Brendon McCullum had said England were expecting Stokes to return for the third Test after the 35-year-old withdrew from Durham’s County Championship match against Northamptonshire at the ECB’s request."Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson have been included in the England Men’s squad for the third Rothesay Test against New Zealand following the conclusion of an ECB disciplinary hearing in relation to their conduct in the early hours of Monday 8 June," the board said in a statement."Stokes and Atkinson were found to have breached specific contractual obligations that require England players to at all times maintain the highest standards of conduct and act in the best interests of England cricket."The ECB said both players had received written warnings but were not blamed for the violence, noting that Stokes was not present during the violent conduct and that Atkinson was subjected to unprovoked attacks but did not retaliate.Joe Root has deputised as captain in Stokes' absence and reached the milestone of 14,000 Test runs, becoming only the second player to do so after India great Sachin Tendulkar.Stokes impressed for Durham, scoring 95 off 118 balls against Northamptonshire.The BBC reported on Sunday that Atkinson has also been withdrawn from his County Championship fixture. He had taken four wickets for his county side Surrey against Glamorgan.The third Test match between England and New Zealand begins on June 25 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

American world number 26 Frances Tiafoe has claimed the ATP tournament in Halle, a traditional Wimbledon warm-up event, after a dominant win over countryman Taylor Fritz on Sunday.Tiafoe cruised to a 6-4, 6-4 win over the world number nine on the back of his booming serve, dropping just seven points on his own serve throughout the match.The 28-year-old American won in one hour and seven minutes to claim the fourth title of his career, his first since 2023 and first at the ATP 500 level. Wimbledon begins on June 29.The unseeded Tiafoe beat three top 10 players - French Open finalist and world number 10 Flavio Cobolli, world number four Felix Auger Aliassime and now the ninth-ranked Fritz -- to win the tournament.Tiafoe had not beaten Fritz since 2016, a run of seven straight defeats including the 2024 US Open final.The defeat continued a disappointing week for the 28-year-old Fritz.The grass court specialist had never lost a final on the surface in his career but has now lost two in a week, after going down to fellow American Ben Shelton in the final of the Stuttgart ATP tournament last Sunday.Fritz made the final after coming from a set down to beat freshly minted French Open champion Alexander Zverev in three sets on Saturday.Tiafoe qualified for the showpiece after a comfortable win over German Daniel Altmaier in straight sets, losing just four games.
