England in Command

PERTH, Australia () -- Graeme Hick hammered home 172 with a superb display of attacking strokeplay to put England in complete command against Western Australia on Monday.


Hick's 78th first-class century was made with mounting power and authority as England surged to 393 for six in its second innings -- a lead of 400 -- at the close on the third day of their four-day match. An overnight declaration now seems likely.


In Harare, Zimbabwe, a draw was declared Monday after poor light and rain prevented play on the final day of the third cricket test between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka was 402 all out and 20 for one wicket in its second innings. Zimbabwe was 375 all out.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
