Prithvi Shaw Set For One-Day Cup Debut With Northamptonshire
Out-of-favour India opener Prithvi Shaw is headed to Northamptonshire for his maiden stint in the English county circuit. Shaw will make his debut for the county side on Friday against Gloucestershire in Cheltenham in the One-Day Cup. Shaw's arrival was delayed because of visa formalities as he could not play two four-day County Championship fixtures.
"It's a great opportunity for me and I'm really thankful to Northamptonshire for giving me this chance to express myself here," Shaw was quoted as saying in a media release.
"It's going to be amazing I think and I'm really looking forward to it." Shaw last played for India on the tour of Sri Lanka in July 2021, and was part of the squad for the T20Is at home against New Zealand earlier this year.
The Delhi Capitals batter had a woeful IPL 2023 campaign and was dropped midway through the competition.

Broad's Momentous 'Last Ball' Sees England Beat Australia, Draw Ashes 2-2
England beat Australia by 49 runs to win the fifth Test at The Oval on Monday and end the Ashes series all square at 2-2. Australia, chasing 384 to win, collapsed from 264-3 to 334 all out, with England's retiring paceman Stuart Broad taking the final wicket. England did the bulk of the damage when, after a rain break of more than two hours, they took four Australia wickets for 11 runs in 19 balls. Off-spinner Moeen Ali took three wickets on his way to innings figures of 3-76 and all-rounder Chris Woakes ended with 4-50.
Broad, England's all-time leading Ashes bowler, then polished off the tail. Australia, as the holders, had already retained the Ashes but they remain without an Ashes series win in England since 2001.
"It was absolutely wonderful," Broad told Sky Sports. "I thought Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali set the tone absolutely unbelievably.
"Woakesy picked up a couple of wickets, particularly Steve Smith, who has just been a wonderful player to play against all these years.
"Once we got a couple we really started to believe. The crowd were unbelievable. It was so loud and we just jumped on the back of that. To contribute to the team with two wickets is very special.
"When you make that decision you wonder what your last ball will be so to take a wicket to win an Ashes Test match is pretty cool."

Ashes: Stokes Makes History, Surpasses Pietersen To Hit A New 'Most 6s' Record
England skipper Ben Stokes made history on Saturday as he became the batter with the highest number of sixes during a single Ashes series against arch-rivals Australia. Stokes accomplished this during England's fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval. In the second innings, he scored 42 off 67 balls. His knock consisted of three fours and a six. His runs came at a strike rate of 62.68. In the previous innings, he could score just three runs.
With this, he has smashed 15 sixes in the series, the highest so far. Previously, the record was held by Kevin Pietersen, who had lit up the 2005 Ashes series with his batting, which consisted of 14 sixes. Stokes had also hit 13 sixes in the 2019 edition of the series.
Stokes also has the second-highest number of sixes in a Test series. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has the highest number of sixes in a Test series, smashing 19 maximums during the series against South Africa in the 2019-20 season.
In the ongoing Ashes, Stokes has scored 405 runs in five matches across nine innings at an average of 45.00. He has scored one century and two fifties in the series, with the best score of 155. He is the third-highest run-scorer in the series next to Usman Khawaja (424 runs) and Zak Crawley (480 runs).
Coming to the match, England's second innings is going on and they have a lead of over 300 runs.
In their first innings, Australia was bundled out for 295 runs and they had a 12-run lead. They lost wickets at regular intervals. At the top of the order, Steve Smith (71 in 123 balls, with six fours) and Usman Khawaja (47 in 157 balls with seven fours) delivered key contributions which kept Australia's innings together.
Down the order, skipper Pat Cummins (36) and an aggressive Todd Murphy (34 in 39 balls with two fours and three sixes) helped the Aussies gain the lead, putting on a 49-run stand. Smith and Cummins had also put on a 54-run stand for the eighth wicket.
Chris Woakes (3/61) emerged as the pick of the bowlers for England, while Root, Wood and Broad took two wickets each. James Anderson got one wicket.
In their first innings, England was bundled out for 283 runs after being put to bat first by Australia. Harry Brook (85 in 91 balls with 11 fours and two sixes) top-scored for England and had a 111-run stand with Moeen Ali (34 in 37 balls with three fours and two sixes) after England slipped to 73/3. Later a 49-run stand for the eighth wicket between Mark Wood (28) and Chris Woakes (36) helped England reach a decent first-innings score.
Mitchell Starc (4/82) was the pick of the bowlers for Australia. Josh Hazlewood and Todd Murphy took two wickets each while skipper Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh got a wicket each.
Australia is leading the five-match series 2-1. Though Australia has regained the Ashes urn, England can still go out of this home series respectfully after a 2-2 draw.

ICC Inspects Venues At Bengaluru, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram Ahead Of WC
Ahead of the ODI World Cup, an inspection team from the International Cricket Council is checking the readiness of venues that will host the quadrennial extravaganza in October-November this year. The ICC team, which is currently at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, has paid a visit to three venues in South - Bengaluru, Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram, where practice matches will be held -- and the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The reconnaissance unit dropped in at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here on July 28, and expressed their satisfaction over the facilities.
"They were here on Friday, and were satisfied by our preparations. We have been hosting matches from the Duleep Trophy at the venue, and we are ready for the (World Cup) games," a KSCA official told PTI.
Bengaluru is scheduled to host five matches, including India's fixture against Netherlands and two games of Pakistan against Australia and New Zealand.
India is set to begin their World Cup campaign on October 8 against five-time champions Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The Chepauk will also host two other high-profile matches of Pakistan against South Africa and Afghanistan.
The ICC team inspected the facilities at the stadium on July 26.
"Yes, they were here and it was the routine pre-tournament visit checking on the venue preparation. They have given an all-clear for us, and we will be in touch with the ICC in the coming days as well," said a Tamil Nadu Cricket Association official.
The Greenfield Stadium will not host any main draw matches but the Kerala capital will see a few preparation games ahead of the World Cup.
"We have recently hosted an ODI and a T20I match here. So, the experience will help us and we are also working on the recommendations of the ICC team to make further improvements," said a Kerala Cricket Association official.
The Greenfield Stadium had hosted India's one-dayer against Sri Lanka earlier this year and a T20I match against South Africa in September last year.
In the days to come, the ICC team will visit all the other venues that will host matches, including the practice games.
The ICC team's main focus will be assisting the host venues on matters like security inside the stadium, necessities of broadcast teams among others.

5th Test, Day 2: Smith Leads Australia's Revival, Match Hangs In Balance
Steve Smith's 71 helped Australia recover from a batting collapse as the tourists frustrated England by establishing a first-innings lead in the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval on Friday. Australia were eventually bowled out with what became the last ball of the second day for 295, 12 runs ahead of England's 283. It looked as if England would enjoy a sizeable advantage as veteran seamer Stuart Broad sparked a slump that saw Australia decline from 115-2 to 185-7.
But Smith and Australia captain Pat Cummins (36) kept England at bay with an eighth-wicket stand of 54.
And off-spinner Todd Murphy -- recalled to the side following last week's rain-marred drawn third Test at Old Trafford -- added to England's woes with a sparkling 34 that belied his position of No 10.
Cummins eventually holed out off part-time spinner Joe Root, with rival skipper Ben Stokes throwing the ball back in over the rope at long-on to complete a fine catch.
Australia, as the holders, are assured of retaining the Ashes at 2-1 up, and only need to avoid defeat at The Oval to secure their first Test series win away to England in 22 years.
The tourists resumed Friday on 61-1, with Usman Khawaja 26 not out and Marnus Labuschagne, fresh from his hundred at Old Trafford, unbeaten on two.
Dour first session
Australia's position in the series means they have no need to replicate England's risky 'Bazball' batting approach.
But they arguably veered too much in the opposite direction during an attritional morning session, scoring just 54 runs in 26 overs for the loss of Labuschagne.
The No 3 himself took a further 59 balls to score just seven more runs before edging express fast bowler Mark Wood, with Root holding a brilliant one-handed catch diving to his left at first slip.
Smith upped the tempo with two superb straight-driven fours off successive Anderson deliveries and at lunch Australia were 115-2.
But Broad, whose 167-Test career has been notable for dramatic wicket-taking bursts, soon reduced Australia to 127-4.
He had Khawaja, the leading run-scorer in the series, lbw with a full-length delivery that ended a stay of 157 balls despite the batsman's review.
Broad, who had made his name in Ashes cricket with a return of 5-37 at The Oval in 2009, became the first Englishman to take 150 Test wickets against Australia.
That rose to 151 wickets when Travis Head was caught behind off an excellent delivery that nipped away off the seam.
England were a bowler light on Friday as Moeen Ali remained off the field with the groin injury the off-spinner suffered while batting on Thursday.
But Root filled the gap when induced an ugly swipe from Alex Carey that went straight to Stokes at short cover.
Australia were 185-7 when Mitchell Starc holed out to backward square leg off Wood.
Smith had made 43 when, going for a needless second run, it appeared he had been beaten by a throw from substitute fielder George Ealham -- the son of former England all-rounder Mark Ealham -- to wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow.
But third umpire Niton Menon, after several minutes' study, ruled in the batsman's favour, with replays suggesting neither bail had been fully removed from its groove before Smith had made his ground.
England took the new ball but Smith completed a 98-ball fifty when he drove Broad for a fine boundary
It looked as if the former Australia captain, whose four previous Tests at The Oval had yielded three hundreds, might go on to three figures again until he carelessly skyed a catch off Chris Woakes to Bairstow.
Murphy, however, pulled Wood for three fine sixes, with the left-handed batsman also square-driving Woakes for a stylish four.
Woakes eventually had the 22-year-old, in only his 14th first-class match, lbw but the damage had been done.

India Great Lauds Rohit Sharma's Captaincy In Tests Against West Indies
India skipper Rohit Sharma has been receiving a lot of praise for his performance in the recently concluded two-match Test series against West Indies. The 36-year-old batter not only brought up his hundred in the first Test but also went on to smash a half-century in the second match. Though Team India failed to register a clean sweep as Day 5 of the second Test got washed out, they still managed to claim the series with 1-0 lead. Former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim praised Rohit for his excellent captaincy.
Karim hailed Rohit for his fearless batting in the first Test as the India skipper brought up a ton despite having difficult pitch conditions. He also praised Rohit including wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan into the Playing XI.
"In the first Test, the wicket was not easy to bat and Rohit got a hundred. Some of his decisions, bringing Ishan Kishan in the mix and all these showed that Rohit wants to win this time around," said Karim on Jio Cinema.
Players like Ravichandran Ashwin, who took 12 wickets in the first Test, followed by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 171 runs in his debut, are some of the players who played exceptionally well for the visitors in the two-match series. However, Karim choose skipper Rohit as the Player of the Series for his "intensity" and "aggression".
"But I would go with Rohit because this was a fresh WTC cycle and he had to lead from the front. The intensity and the aggression he showed sent a strong message to the rest of the side that this is the way you want to take it forward," he added.
Eyeing a clean sweep after their victory inside three days in Dominica, India called the shots here too and set the hosts an imposing target of 365. But the match ended in a draw after the fifth and final day's play was washed out.

Harmanpreet May Get 2-Match Suspension, Likely To Miss Asiad Games: Report
Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur could well miss first two games in the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games on charges of equipment abuse and public criticism of match officials after the tied third ODI against Bangladesh on Saturday. Harmanpreet was adjudged leg before off a Nahida Akter delivery while trying to sweep but she claimed that she got a bottom edge and in a fit of rage shattered the stumps before walking back to the pavilion.
Later at the post match presentation ceremony, she termed the level of umpiring as "pathetic" and also sarcastically asked the umpires to be called to join the teams for trophy ceremony.
Her boorish behaviour had prompted Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana to walk away with her team and urge her Indian counterpart to learn some "manners".
"There is still some deliberation going on whether she should get three demerit points or four as there are two charges -- match equipment abuse and criticism of match officials.
"In case there are four demerit points in a space of 24 months, you either miss a Test or two limited over games -- in this case first two games of Asiad. In case, it is three, then she will only cop financial penalty," a senior BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
The charges against Harmanpreet has been pressed by ICC international panel match referee Akter Ahmed, who is also from Bangladesh.
Both teams were locked at identical score of 225 and three-match ODI series ended in a 1-1 draw.

4th Test: Australia Retain Ashes After Washout, Lead Series 2-1
Australia have retained the Ashes after the fourth Test against England ended in a rain-affected draw, with bad weather at Old Trafford washing out Sunday's final day. The result ensured Australia, as the holders, kept the Ashes at 2-1 up with one match left in the series -- regardless of the result of next week's fifth Test at The Oval. Heavy overnight rain left the outfield sodden and meant play was unable to start as scheduled at 11:00 am (1000 GMT) in Manchester. No sooner had it been announced that play would resume at 1200 GMT, provided there was no further rain, the ground was subjected to a fresh downpour lasting several hours.
The match was officially abandoned by the umpires as a draw at 1624 GMT.
Despite this draw, Australia will still have to avoid defeat at The Oval if they are to secure their first Ashes series win in England since 2001.
"The group should be pretty proud. Our preference is to come over here and win the Ashes but it's nice to retain it, albeit not in the best of circumstances," Australia captain Pat Cummins said.
England skipper Ben Stokes was understandably downbeat, saying: "It is a tough one to take, playing the cricket we did over the first three days, but it is all part of the journey.
"We knew what we needed to do and that played into our hands. It was another do-or-die game for us and I don't think we could have done much more -- bowling them out and then scoring 590.
"We have got one game left and we want to go out with a win and draw the series, like in 2019."
Australia finished on 214-5 in their second innings, 61 runs behind England's first-innings 592, after rain meant only 30 overs' play was possible on Saturday's fourth day.
England managed to take just one wicket in that time when part-time off-spinner Joe Root had Marnus Labuschagne caught behind, but not before the Australian had held up the hosts' victory charge with 111.
'The weather cost us'
Old Trafford is notorious for weather delays -- the ground has now had 25 complete days rained off in Test cricket, plus an additional two entire Tests abandoned.
England restricted world Test champions Australia to 317 in their first innings before racing to 592 all out, thanks largely to opener Zak Crawley's breathtaking 189 and an unbeaten 99 from Jonny Bairstow.
Fast bowler Mark Wood ripped through Australia's top order on Friday with three wickets.
But Australia kept England at bay on Saturday during a stand of 103 between Labuschagne and Mitchell Marsh (31 not out).
Crawley, the player of the match, added: "We are quite flat. We were in a good position to win this game but the weather cost us."
Sunday's result ended England's bid to become just the second side in Ashes history to win a series from 2-0 down.
The Australia team of 1936/37, inspired by batting great Don Bradman, overturned that deficit to win 3-2.
Australia won the first Test of the current series with a thrilling two-wicket victory at Edgbaston where Stokes controversially declared at 398-8 on the opening day, even though star batsman Root was 118 not out.
The tourists went 2-0 up with a 43-run win at Lord's, a match where England collapsed from 188-1 to 325 all out in their first innings before Stokes gave his side hope of achieving an improbable run-chase with a stunning 155.
England bounced back to take the third Test at Headingley by three wickets, but the Manchester rain ensured that wasn't enough to spark an Ashes-winning fightback.

Watch: Ashwin Bowls 'Magic Delivery' To Bowl Out West Indies Captain
Ravichandran Ashwin produced the delivery of the series to breach a dogged Kraigg Brathwaite's defence as West Indies crawled to 174 for 3 at tea against India on the third day of the second Test on Saturday. West Indies skipper Brathwaite (75 off 235 balls) used his enormous powers of concentration to frustrate the Indian attack on an insipid track before world's No. 1 Test bowler held the centre stage with a magical moment that brought the smiles back in Indian camp.
The track on offer here is a poor advertisement for Test cricket and if it gets any rating other than 'Average' from ICC that will be a real surprise.
If West Indies were indiscreet in their shot selection in the opening Test, the home team batters were over-cautious and a lifeless pitch helped their negative approach and a draw seems an inevitability.
Toiling for close to 73 overs on a track which at best can be called 'dead', Ashwin (30-10-57-1) got delivery that had flight and required inward drift which was good enough to entice Brathwaite to plonk his front-foot for his umpteenth defensive prod.
But to his horror, the ball turned sharply, an off-spinner's dream delivery that went between bat and pad to hit the stumps.
Watch: Ashwin Bowls 'Magic Delivery' To Bowl Out West Indies Captain
Ashwin's wizardry breaks through Brathwaite's resistance!#WIvIND #SabJawaabMilenge #JioCinema pic.twitter.com/wJz8Ut3tX8
— JioCinema (@JioCinema) July 22, 2023
A compact defensive player, Brathwaite's only fault was pushing his bat ahead of his pad allowing the ball to exploit the gap to the fullest.
The dismissal came just when Brathwaite and an equally stodgy Jermaine Blackwood (16 off 89 balls) brought their ultra-defensive 'A' game to the fore adding only 40 runs in 21 overs in the post-lunch session.
The Queens Park Oval track has literally nothing in it for bowlers and with West Indies batters intent to block more deliveries, creating chances became all the more difficult.
Having lost better part of the first session to rain, Indian bowlers were left high and dry with the track not showing considerable wear and tear.
The figures of Ravindra Jadeja (19-10-19-1) was an indication enough that defending wasn't difficult as he hardly bowled any wicket-taking deliveries.
Ashwin also had his moments of frustration when he over-flighted a few deliveries and was dispatched to the boundary.
In the morning session, debutant Mukesh Kumar was rewarded for his nagging channel bowling as his maiden wicket in the form of fellow debutant Kirk McKenzie.
Bowling a line which is right on off-stump or shade outside of it, Mukesh bowled a delivery on fuller side with not enough room to cut which McKenzie (32 off 57 balls) edged it to Ishan Kishan for a regulation catch.
McKenzie, who hit four boundaries and a six, looked in fine touch and played with a lot of purpose during his 57-ball stay.
With the pitch not having any purchase for either spinners or pacers, it has indeed been a hard toil for the Indian bowlers so far.
However, one man who would be itching to get into the wickets column will be veteran Saurashtra left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat.
The domestic workhorse undoubtedly is the weakest link in the Indian bowling attack as he has so far given away 32 runs in 12 wicket-less overs so far.
More than not getting the wickets, Unadkat hasn't even looked incisive enough to create problems for Brathwaite, who has a compact defensive game.
The lack of pace and not having enough movement off the surface meant that Unadkat was the easiest bowler to negotiate.
With the next series in South Africa, Unadkat with two wicket-less Tests in the West Indies might find it extremely difficult to hold onto his place in the squad.
The difference between him and Mukesh has been the length that the Bengal pacer found which is slightly fuller despite both of them bowling at the same pace.
There is also that slight hint of movement inward or outward that can cause confusion for batters while Unadkat's stock delivery is one that is pushed across the right-handers, which is quite predictable.

'Blessed' Yashasvi Jaiswal Turns Fanboy As He Hails 'Legend' Virat Kohli
Young India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal said that he considers himself fortunate to play alongside a legend like Virat Kohli. Jaiswal's comments came after stumps on Day 1 of the ongoing second Test against West Indies in Trinidad. Jaiswal scored a century on his debut Test last week in Dominica and followed it up with a solid 57 in the first innings of the ongoing second Test. In a video shared by the International Cricket Council, Jaiswal said he gets to learn a lot by watching Kohli bat, and also revealed that he enjoys having conversation with the battieng maestro.
"It's always great to watch him (Virat Kohli) bat and bat alongside him. He's a legend and I'm blessed to play with him. It's wonderful to go out with him and learn from him. There is a lot to learn from him, to keep watching what he does outside the field and on the field. It's a pleasure to talk to him and learning from him," Jaiswal said after the end of the day's play at the Queen's Park Oval.
After he took the field on Thursday, Kohli became only the fourth Indian player to feature in 500 international matches.
On Friday, the peerless Virat Kohli capped off his 500th international appearance with a 76th hundred. Kohli, who missed out on a hundred in the previous Test, made a polished 121 in 206 balls, his 29th in the longest format while adding 159 runs for the fifth wicket with Ravindra Jadeja (61 off 152 balls).
Starting the day at 87, Kohli reached his century in the first half an hour while dispatching a Roach delivery wide of point. The wide grin while raising his bat and then taking a bow said it all.
The satisfaction of scoring his first overseas Test hundred in half a decade was palpable, having last scored a ton on foreign soil in Perth in 2018.
Kohli's greatness lay in his game awareness as the cornerstone of his innings was 45 singles and 13 doubles in energy sapping conditions.
He would be pleased because as many as nine of his 11 boundaries were hit on the off-side with the signature cover drive coming out of his closet time and again.

2nd Test, Day 2: WI Solid In Reply After Kohli Century Powers India To 438
Virat Kohli equalled Sir Don Bradman's record of 29 hundreds in India's commendable first innings score of 438 but their bowlers found it a tough grind as West Indies ended second day on 86 for 1 in the second Test at Port of Spain, Trinidad. Kohli, who missed out on a hundred in the previous Test, made amends with a polished 121 in 206 balls, his 76th hundred in 500 international appearance. In the process, Kohli also added 159 runs for the fifth wicket with Ravindra Jadeja (61 off 152 balls), who also scored his 19th half-century in Tests.
Ravichandran Ashwin (56 off 78 balls), with four hundreds against the same opposition, did look comfortable against both spin and pace as he played some adventurous ramp shots off Kemar Roach to help himself to a half-century and take his team closer to 450.
West Indies openers displayed a solid defensive game before Jadeja (1/12 in 10 overs) prevailed after playing with young Tagenarine Chanderpaul's (33 off 95 balls) patience.
The southpaw tried to loft a delivery that landed on the rough and the thick outside edge was taken at point by his spin bowling partner Ashwin.
However, the pitch, which is getting slower with the passage of time, didn't have much for the bowlers as the new Dukes ball was changed at least thrice in the first 20 overs on the insistence of the Indian team which found it going out of shape.
The change of ball didn't bring any change in fortune for the Indian bowlers as the dependable West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite (37 batting, 128 balls) and stodgy Chanderpaul survived nearly 35 out of 41 overs without much difficulty.
They mostly defended with a few boundaries in between. Brathwaite had debutant Kirk Mckenzie (14 batting, 25 balls) for company.
There was no carry off the surface and the inexperienced pace attack of Mohammed Siraj (0/23 in 7 overs), Jaydev Unadkat (0/12 in 6 overs) and Mukesh Kumar (0/10 in 4 overs) couldn't produce anything 'out of the box' on a literally dead track.
Ashwin (0/29 in 14 overs) and Jadeja were certainly better bets for providing breakthrough but the West Indies opening duo gave a much better account of themselves compared to Dominica Test. There was no turn on offer and skipper Rohit Sharma would expect that pitch would do some trick to aid his slow bowlers on the third day.
Kohli's first overseas ton in nearly five years
The first session of the second day undoubtedly belonged to Kohli, who was hardly troubled by any of the West Indies pacers, having taken 77 runs in singles, doubles and triples apart from the 11 boundaries in his innings.
Starting the day at 87, Kohli reached his century in the first half an hour while dispatching a Roach delivery wide of point with a stretched square drive. The wide grin while raising his bat and then taking a bow said it all.
The satisfaction of scoring his first overseas Test hundred in half a decade was palpable, having last scored a ton on foreign soil in Perth in 2018.
The Queens Park Oval track is certainly way better for strokeplay compared to first Test venue of Windsor Park in Dominica. One could hit through the line even though there were deliveries that were gripping off the surface and some that stopped and came onto the bat.
Kohli's greatness lay in his game awareness as the cornerstone of his innings was 45 singles and 13 doubles in energy sapping conditions.
He would be pleased because as many as nine of his 11 boundaries were hit on the off-side with the signature cover drive coming out of his closet time and again.
To his relief, the absence of off-break Rahkeem Cornwall did make things a bit easier as left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican (3/89 in 39 overs), despite his restrictive lines, did not get a lot of purchase off the surface.
Most of the deliveries come in with the angle and it was easier to just tickle it off his hips for singles and doubles.
Kohli got an able ally in Jadeja, who got another half-century and reaffirmed his status as a batting all-rounder in overseas conditions.
Once he was run-out and Jadeja also followed him after being rightly given out by TV Umpire despite DRS replay glitch, Ashwin was the lone ranger with a well-compiled fifty.
One person who would be disappointed will be Ishan Kishan (25), who played a tame shot after getting set and lost out on gaining a clear advantage over Kona Bharat.

4th Test, Day 3: Wood Strikes For England After Bairstow Runs Riot vs Aus
Fast bowler Mark Wood took three wickets after Jonny Bairstow pulverised Australia with a thrilling 99 not out as England strengthened their grip on a must-win fourth Test at Old Trafford on Friday. Australia were 113-4 in their second innings at stumps on the third day, still 162 runs behind England's huge first-innings 592. Durham express quick Wood had stumps figures of 3-17 from just seven overs, a return that included the 100th Test wicket of his injury-blighted career. England, at 2-1 down with two to play, have to win in Manchester if they are to stand a chance of regaining the Ashes.
Wicketkeeper Bairstow followed his blistering 81 ball-assault on Australia's bowlers, which included 10 fours and four sixes, by holding a routine edge off Wood as Australia lost Usman Khawaja early in their innings.
David Warner, Australia's other left-handed opener, survived against longstanding nemesis Stuart Broad only to chop on to Chris Woakes for 28 when uncertain over whether to leave the ball or play a shot.
Wood took his 100th Test wicket when star Australia batsman Steve Smith, neither pulling nor paddling a bouncer, was caught down the legside by Bairstow for just 17.
The 33-year-old Wood, who had shaken up several Australia batsmen on his return to England duty in the hosts' third Test win at Headingley, then showed the value of sheer speed with a rising delivery, angled in at the body, that took the shoulder of Travis Head's bat before looping gently to Ben Duckett in the gully.
But Marnus Labuschagne (44 not out) was still there at stumps, with Mitchell Marsh unbeaten on one off 27 balls.
Bairstow blitz
England had already enjoyed a remarkable run-spree, opener Zak Crawley top-scoring with 189, by the time Bairstow came in at 437-5 on Friday.
Bairstow, one of the stand-out batsmen during England's 'Bazball' era of aggressive run-scoring, was only on 49 not out when joined by last man James Anderson.
He then promptly pulled a six off Mitchell Starc to complete his fifty in style.
Bairstow also hoisted Australia captain Pat Cummins for two more soaring sixes off successive balls, even though by then all the fielders -- with the exception of wicketkeeper Alex Carey -- were back on the boundary in a sure sign of how England's dynamism had rattled their arch-rivals.
And there were more cheers from the crowd when the last-wicket pair ran a bye to Carey, who had controversially stumped Bairstow when standing back during the second Test at Lord's when the England batsman thought the ball was dead.
But having turned down the chance to get the two he needed for his hundred by only running a single, the 33-year-old Bairstow was left stranded on 99 after Anderson, 41 later this month was lbw to Cameron Green, in what could be the England all-time leading wicket-taker's last Test on his Lancashire home ground
All of Australia's three frontline bowlers, conceded more than 100 runs each, with Josh Hazlewood taking 5-126 in his 27 overs.
England's innings featured six scores of at least fifty by their top seven -- the first time they had achieved that feat since 1930 against the West Indies in Jamaica.
They resumed Friday on 384-4, 67 runs ahead, with Harry Brook 14 not out and England captain Ben Stokes unbeaten 24 not out.
Both batsmen went on to make fifties although, in a sign of Australia's increasing fallibility, the Test world champions twice missed chances to run out Stokes.
Cummins eventually bowled Stokes for 61 but the 30-year-old fast bowler's figures of 1-129 were the most expensive of his 54-Test career.

Watch: Fit-Again KL Rahul Plays Big Shots In Nets Ahead Of Asia Cup 2023
Star batter KL Rahul is getting prepared for his India comeback. He has resumed his training in full throttle after recovering from a knee operation. Rahul is currently on the sidelines with a thigh injury that he sustained while playing for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL 2023). After a successful operation in England in May, he reported to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to begin his recovery. The recent video posted by Rahul on his Instagram account has hinted that he has become fully fit and he is all set for his India return.
In the video shared by him on social media, Rahul could be seen batting in nets, hitting some big shots. The clip also had the player carrying out the rest of his training sessions.
Watch the video here:
Earlier, Rahul had posted a picture where he can be seen resting after a training session.
KL Rahul made a solid contribution in World Test Championship (WTC) 2021-23 cycle for India. In 11 matches, he scored 636 runs at an average of 30.28. He scored two centuries and two fifties in 21 innings, with best score of 129.
The LSG captain sustained an injury in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on May 1. Chasing a ball in the outfield in the second over, he clutched it at his thigh and then limped off the field.

ICC Shares Picture Of SRK With World Cup Trophy. Fans Can't Keep Calm
The International Cricket Council (ICC) took to social media to share a picture of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan with the ODI World Cup trophy and fans were sent into a frenzy. The caption accompanying the picture read - “King Khan #CWC23 Trophy It's nearly here …". India will host the ODI World Cup in 2023 between October 5 and November 19 with ten teams taking part in the prestigious competition. India will start their campaign against Australia on October 8 and the Rohit Sharma-led side will take on Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15.
The opening match will see last edition's finalists -- England and New Zealand -- to get the tournament underway. But there remain quite a few mouth-watering clashes in the league stage.

While the Indo-Pak encounter is arguably the biggest from the schedule in the round-robin stage, Australia's face-off with South Africa on October 13 in Lucknow is also a big one. The Aussies will be hoping for a reversal of fortunes as a dramatic meeting in the last edition ended in the Rainbow Nation's favour.
Pakistan, a team that will understandably be in the spotlight, will face Australia in Bengaluru on October 20 while England have been scheduled to take on South Africa the next day in Mumbai.
India would look to avenge their 2019 World Cup semi-final defeat against New Zealand on October 22 at the picturesque Dharamsala while Australia are to face England on November 4 in Ahmedabad.

Gaikwad To Lead India At Asian Games; Jaiswal, Rinku Named In Squad
Chennai Super Kings' star opener Ruturaj Gaikwad was on Friday named the captain of the Indian men's cricket team for the Asian Games in Hangzhou in China. While earlier reports had speculated that veteran India batter Shikhar Dhawan could lead in the September 19 to to October 8 event, the BCCI selectors named Gaikwad, who has been doing quite well in the IPL. Talented middle-order batter Rinku Sigh got his maiden call-up for the national team, while JItesh Sharma has been selected at the wicketkeeper of the squad.
Clearly, the composition of the side shows that the BCCI selectors have gone with young players. Among the other big names who have got a chance are Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 171 on his Test debut against West Indies. Tilak Varma, Ravi Bishnoi, Shivam Dube, Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh - all of whom are popular names in the IPL - are part of the Asian Games squad.
"The Men's Selection Committee has picked India's squad for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 to be held from 19th September to 8th October 2023 at Zhejiang University of Technology Pingfeng Cricket Field. The men's cricket competition will take place from 28th September to 8th October in a T20 format," the BCCI said in a release.
Team India (Senior Men) squad for 19th Asian Games: Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rahul Tripathi, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Shivam Mavi, Shivam Dube, Prabhsimran Singh (wk)
Standby list of players: Yash Thakur, Sai Kishore, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Sai Sudarsan.

Watch: Dravid Gives Standing Ovation To Jaiswal For 50 In Maiden Test
Debutant opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (62 batting) displayed perfect composure and admirable temperament with a well-compiled half-century as Indian openers were in control, taking the score to for 146 for no loss at lunch on the second day of the opening Test against the West Indies here on Thursday. Skipper Rohit Sharma (68 batting, 163 balls) also curbed his natural stroke-making instinct for the better part to reach his 15th half-century in Test cricket as India are only four runs short of West Indies' first innings score of 150.
The Windsor Park pitch got even slower on the day with most of the deliveries stopping and coming onto the bat.
Only 66 runs were scored during the session as Indian batters didn't take any undue risks and batted in an unhurried manner against an insipid Caribbean attack that didn't score much on potency quotient.
The two spinners -- offie Rahkeem Cornwall (0/22 in 11 overs) and left-arm orthodox Jomel Warrican (0/34 in 14 overs) bowled tight lines but didn't bowl too many wicket-taking deliveries.
The lack of pace off the track also made it easier for Indian openers to defend.
Jaiswal, who started the day on 40, struck his first boundary on Friday that got him to his half-century, which was also a vindication of the team management's decision to promote him at the top on debut. After the 50, India coach Rahul Dravid gave a standing ovation.

It was a pull shot off Alzarri Joseph (0/42 in 8 overs), whose bowling lacked sting during that first session.
Jaiswal now have seven boundaries in his knock so far with six coming in the first evening while Rohit has six fours and two sixes The old Dukes ball also didn't offer much reverse swing and Rohit's flick off Joseph to get a six over mid-wicket was the best shot of the morning.
He also rocked on back-foot and hit a square cut off Jomel Warrican and punched his full-toss through the covers after a quiet first hour.
With so much time left in the match, the Indians are rightly aiming to bat West Indies out of the game as it will get very difficult to bat in the third innings on a worn out track.

Duleep Trophy: Bowlers Help West Zone Gain Command Over South Zone
The relentless West Zone bowlers left South Zone on a fragile terrain at 182 for seven on the opening day of the Duleep Trophy final in Bengaluru on Wednesday. Fielding by choice, West never let the advantage slip on a largely overcast day that was eventually called off a few minutes into the extended session due to poor light. Captain Hanuma Vihari offered a lone battle while making 63 off 130 balls for South. But the conditions meant that single man heroics would not suffice.
Even though they were operating in a favourable space, West Zone pacers Arzan Nagwaswalla, Chintan Gaja and Atit Sheth should be lauded for maintaining a tight leash on South batting.
They moved the ball quite appreciably to keep Mayank Agarwal and R Samarth, the South openers, cautious.
The first wicket did not take long to come, though it was more the result of the batter's callousness.
Samarth opted to cut Gaja's short and wide delivery outside the off-stump and Harvik Desai, who replaced Het Patel, completed a simple catch behind the stumps.
Thereafter Mayank and Tilak Varma started to move things ahead for the South. In the process, Mayank, who began the match at 6976 runs, also completed 7000 runs in First-Class cricket from 159 innings.
However, Mayank was not able to convert the start. He often tried to negate the movement while walking down the pitch, and it was bound to bring undesired results at some point.
It transpired this soon. The Karnataka right-hander's expansive drive off Sheth had fatal consequences, ending in a catch to Sarfaraz Khan at third slip.
At 42 for 2, South were in some danger but the best passage of their innings followed. Tilak and Hanuma Vihari milked 79 runs for the third wicket as South inched towards a safer zone. South went to lunch at 100 for two.
Vihari was particularly impressive, neutralising the pacers in a manual-perfect way. The Hyderabad right-hander played the quicks closer to his body, muffling the bounce and movement. It helped him resist the West bowlers for over three hours on the day.
Vihari brought out his wristy flicks whenever the pacers drifted on to his pads, adding that touch of elegance to his otherwise doughty innings.
The extra second he had in his hand to play the ball was quite evident and his method was quite different from other South top order batters who went in search of the ball.
Unfortunately, playing late led to his doom as well. Vihari tried to late cut left-arm spinner Shams Mulani but the ball snaked onto the stumps after taking the edge of his bat.
Tilak perished to Nagwaswalla as the West Zone ate into the meat of South batting order quickly in the post lunch session.
West snaffled four wickets in this period for 66 runs to leave their opponents in a spot of bother.

Ignored For West Indies T20Is Rinku Singh Plays Blinder In Duleep Trophy
Ingnored for the upcoming five-match T20I series against West Indies, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh provided some artificial excitement in the ongoing Duleep Trophy, slamming a 30-ball 40 for Central Zone in the semi-final against West Zone. Rinku took the West Zone bowlers to cleaners in the last hour before lunch. Target was bordering on impossible, but Rinku, who had hammered 5 consecutive sixes for Kolkata Knight Riders against Yash Dayal of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023, would have none of it.
Central Zone left-arm spinner Dharmendra Jadeja suffered the brunt of his aggression, getting hammered for two sixes and one of them even landed outside the stadium.
However, the scoreboard pressure got the better of him as the southpaw from Uttar Pradesh holed out to Arzan Nagwaswalla in the deep to bring curtains to the entertainment.
Rinku had also played well in the first innings as he scored a 69-ball 48, helping Central Zone cross the 100-run mark.
However, it was West Zone who secured their place in the final on the back of a crucial first innings lead after the match ended in a draw.
Chasing an improbable 399 to win, Central could only manage 128 for 4 when rain interrupted proceedings. The action couldn't begin again and the match was ended in a draw.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Rinku could be called up to the Indian side for the upcoming three T20Is against Ireland next month.
The final of Duleep Trophy 2023 will be played between West and South Zone, who outclassed North Zone in the other semi final.
