Jacques Rudolph
A sixth-wicket stand of 153 between Jacques Rudolph and Jonathan Bairstow guided Yorkshire to a four-wicket win over Warwickshire at Edgbaston.

The Tykes, who began the final day on 57-1, needing another 234 to win, looked to be heading for defeat when they were reduced to 123-5.

But the experienced Rudolph steadied the ship with Bairstow, who hit 81.

Although Neil Carter removed Bairstow with 15 still needed, Rudolph (69no) and Tim Bresnan saw Yorkshire home.

Rudolph hit 13 fours in his match-winning unbeaten 69

Laura Marsh made her highest score for England as they beat India by five wickets in Mumbai to win the Twenty20 series by a 2-1 margin.

The 23-year-old from Kent was promoted to number four and responded with an unbeaten 47 off 53 balls.

Laura Marsh

She shared stands of 49 and 44 with Beth Morgan and Jenny Gunn as England reached 126-5 with four balls to spare.

Earlier, Marsh, Katherine Brunt, Nicki Shaw and Danielle Hazell took a wicket each in India's total of 125-4.

It was par for the course by the home side, who made 125-5 and 126-7 in the two previous games, but it needed an enterprising partnership of 56 between Harmanpreet Kaur (30 not out) and Anjum Chopra (22) to get them there.

Bangladesh sensed a first international win against England after Mushfiqur Rahim hit 76 from 88 balls in 260-6, their highest score against them.

Morgan shared 90 with Matt Prior before three wickets fell in as many overs.

But left-hander Morgan stayed cool and finished the match with a six as England won with seven balls left.

Andy Murray
Murray took a while to warm up but was eventually in cruise-control

Britain's Andy Murray produced a patchy performance but did enough to see off Florent Serra 7-5 6-1 6-4 and make the fourth round in the Australian Open.

The fifth seed raced to a 3-0 lead and finally edged the first set after a brief fightback from the Frenchman.

The second set was a much smoother affair and despite another wobble in the middle of the third, Murray kept his cool to secure victory.

Murray next faces John Isner, who beat 12th seed Gail Monfils in four sets.

Murray admitted he had let his opponent off the hook in the opening set but was pleased to progress.
