'A lot of distractions for CSK' - Fleming
Stephen Fleming, the Chennai Super Kings coach, has admitted his team have to cope with a lot of off-field "distractions" this IPL season.

"There's a lot going on, I won't lie," Fleming said in Dubai...

Lyth gets that Taunton feeling
Yorkshire 342 for 5 (Rashid 85*, Lyth 85, Ballance 77) v SomersetScorecard A batsman seeking form and international recognition relishes coming to Taunton. That was always the case in the fondly remembered days when Phil Frost cut pitches for avaricious run-gatherers and not much has changed in this era of relaid surfaces. So it was that Adam Lyth, who often scores heavily here, scored 85, Adil...
