    Big day for Australian batsmen

    It’s the fifth day of the first Test match between Pakistan and Australia and it’s all to play for with the ‘hosts’ needing seven wickets to claim victory in Dubai. See if they can secure victory or whether the Australians will salvage a draw by following our ball-by-ball coverage here.

    Raheem Sterling 3

    Raheem Sterling‘s contract impasse with Manchester City has caught the attention of Real Madrid, according to ESPN.

    The Englishman will be entering the final season of his current deal next summer, which could see his transfer value plummet from the January transfer window onwards.
    In other news, Jadon Sancho is ready to take his chance after being called up to the England squad for their Nations League clashes with Croatia and Spain. The 18-year-old has made a promising start to his Borussia Dortmund career and wants to do the same for Gareth Southgate’s side.
    Speaking of international football, Roberto Mancini has warned his Italy forwards they must be more prolific in front of goal after a 1-1 draw with Ukraine on Wednesday evening. Federico Bernardeschi gave the Italians the lead but Mancini’s side wasted opportunities to double their lead.
    CRICKET

    Root and Buttler are England's Test captain and vice-captain, respectively.

    Australian legend Shane Warne insists Jos Buttler should replace Joe Root as the England Test captain, saying such a move would allow the latter to focus on his batting and become one of the world’s best batsmen.
