West Indies win Twenty20 match against Pakistan by seven runs
Spinner Devendra Bishoo and recalled opener Lendl Simmons were the West Indies' stars as they beat Pakistan in a one-off Twenty20 international.
Bishoo took 4-17 and Simmons hit 65 as the hosts' modest 150-7 proved good enough for a seven-run victory.
It was an encouraging performance from an experimental West Indies side in St Lucia, Darren Sammy skippering the side for the first time on home soil.
Pakistan's Umar Akmal (41) did his bit with the bat but others disappointed.

Middlesex beat Surrey by an innings and 42 runs
Middlesex wrapped up a three-day hammering of Surrey to maintain their 100% start to the County Championship Division Two season.
Resuming on 34-2, 208 short of making the hosts bat again, Surrey succumbed for 200 shortly before tea.
The only resistance came from Steven Davies, who made 94 before being bowled by Neil Dexter (3-46).
Toby Roland-Jones (4-38) then mopped up the tail to give Middlesex victory by an innings and 42 runs.
Davies and Gary Wilson took their third-wicket stand to 72 before Roland-Jones had Wilson and Surrey captain Rory Hamilton-Brown caught behind.
Middlesex captain Dexter, who hit 145 on the first day, then ran through the middle order, while Corey Collymore trapped Gareth Batty lbw.
It was left to Roland-Jones to complete formalities with two wickets in successive deliveries as Middlesex finalised a second successive innings victory over Surrey, who have not won at Lord's since 1997.

The weather had the final word at Bristol as leaders Middlesex avoided defeat against Gloucestershire to stay clear at the top of Division Two.
After Gloucestershire were bowled out for 347, Will Gidman making 93 and Chris Taylor 60, Middlesex were set an unlikely 300 to win.
But bad light finally intevened with the visitors well short on 123-4.

"I'd just like to thank everyone who supported me," said Warne.

Ah. I can sorta see the logic in that. No need to humiliate the opponent, eh? ;)
It's both the charm and the problem with cricket, I think. One team has to set a benchmark for the other team to (hopefully) not reach.
Wouldn't it be more fun to watch if it was more baseball like, where teams switch sides after three outs? (Never gonna happen, I know, but a man can dream, can't he?)

England's hopes of repeating their dramatic last-gasp triumph in Cardiff were thwarted by determined Sri Lankan batting as the second Test at Lord's ended in a draw.
After setting the tourists 343 to win in 58 overs - with Alastair Cook making his sixth century in nine Tests - England's aim was to spark a collapse similar to the first Test, when Sri Lanka slumped to 82 all out inside 25 overs.
But the flurry of wickets never materialised, with Tharanga Paranavitana (44) showing courage and character to keep England at bay as the visitors battled to 127-3 before the teams shook hands on a draw 15 overs before the scheduled close.

Derbyshire have appointed Karl Krikken as head coach on a three-year contract.
After former coach John Morris's exit in May, midway through a Championship game, Krikken led a four-man collective appointed to run first-team affairs.
A statement on the club's website said: "Krikken will continue to work alongside club captain Luke Sutton.
"Krikken and Sutton have complementary skills and their partnership in the management of team affairs is already working well."

Let's have a look at the magic numbers. England's 710 is their third highest Test total in history. Cook's 294 is the sixth highest score by an English Test batsman. He faced 545 balls, hit 33 fours and batted for 13 hours and 23 minutes. Oh yes - and England lead by 486, the fourth-biggest first innings lead ever. Gulp.

Ledden told BBC Sussex: "There's a bit of nervousness but also excitement. It's a dream come true.
"Playing at Lord's is the highpoint of anyone's career for an amateur or a professional. But during the game we've got to concentrate on winning."
Rottingdean, who were founded in 1758, have played eight games to make it through to the final in only their second year of entering the competition.

But the visitors then started piling up a big lead, reaching 267-4 before rain had the final say.
Gatting was still there at the close on 116, to bolster a dogged 60 earlier from Sussex opener Ed Joyce.

But Middlesex got the better of the draw, moving on from their overnight 169-4 to declare on 302-8.
They then set themselves the target of bowling out Glamorgan cheaply for an unlikely innings win, but the Welshmen remained defiant, closing on 178-4
