Pakistan seam bowler Ehsan Adil will miss the ongoing ODI series in Bangladesh due to a hamstring injury and has been replaced by Umar Gul. Right-arm paceman Gul, who has played 125 ODIs, is himself returning from an ankle injury that kept him out of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar was named as a replacement for injured leg-spinner Yasir Shah.

It was Tamim's first century in over two years. The left-hander cracked two boundaries off spinner Saeed Ajmal in the 35th over to reach his fifth ODI hundred. He then put his bat down, took off his gloves and faced the galleries to gesture with hands, suggesting 'less talk'. "Anyone will understand because in last 4-5 months people have been talking about him. Any player may go through some bad times. In the World Cup, many good players couldn't even score 200 runs (in total). He played a crucial innings against Scotland," Mushfiqur said. Brief scores: Bangladesh 329 for 6 (Tamim 132, Mushfiqur 106, Wahab 4-59) bt Pak 250 (Azhar 72, Rizwan 67, Haris 51, Taskin 3-42, Sunny 3-47) by 79 runs.

Anand settles for a draw in Rd 2

Five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand played out his second straight draw in the Shamkir Chess tournament, signing peace with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France quite easily with black pieces in the second round. After letting reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway off the hook in the first round yesterday, Anand had little difficulty with his black pieces as Vachier-Lagrave failed to find anything worthwhile. Anand took his tally to one point out of a possible two as a result. Carlsen, meanwhile, got into the groove pretty quickly and put it across overnight joint leader Shakhriyar Mamedyarov of Azerbaijan. The Norwegian was lethal in his brilliant attack on the queen side and Mamedyarov caved in quite early.
