India-England series unlikely to have Pink Ball Test
BCCI secretary Jay Shah said that the Indian board isn’t really in favour of day-night Tests for now, as the games tend to finish “inside two-three days”, rather than lasting for four-five days.
It was a brilliant comeback by batsman Yuvraj Singh as he hit a scintillating 150 in the second One-Day International (ODI) against England here in Cuttack after a poor start by India.
The crafty left hander hit the English bowlers all over the park as he built a steady partnership with former captain MS Dhoni, who too went on to score a century. However, the special knock came to an end when Yuvraj was caught behind while batting on 150 (127 balls).
