ronnie o'sullivan is through to the final of the uk snooker championship in york — 30 years since hisfaei nearly pulled the score back to 4—3, but he missed an easy black. o'sullivan then showed why he's the world number one, bringing the last red into play, to go on to take that frame, and he eventually clinched the match 6 frames to 2. if you played like he did in the previous matches, he would probably have beaten me today. he let me off the hook a few times i didn't put as much pressure on me and i managed to put a few balls and make a couple of decent breaks will stop but he wasn't far away from it, if he plays like he had in the previous matches, i think she would have won. —— he would have won. bangladesh's cricketers have made history by winning their first home test match against new zealand. and they have this man to thank — left—arm spinner taijul islam — whose 10 wicket haul helped them to victory in sylhet. his 6 for 75 in the second innings meant new zealand were dismissed for 181 and bangladesh won by 150 runs. it's a two test series. and the draw is underway for next y
