The International Cricket Council gave a new twist to 'Star Wars Day' in their tribute video.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka: Niroshan Dickwella was mistaken for another player, not once but twice. He however handled the faux pas quite well.

Heavy rain and bad light hit the second day of the historic Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi on Thursday.
