Zimbabwe beat Ireland by five wickets in the fifth and last ODI. However, they still lost the series 2-3. Ireland needing 9 off the last over, but Richard Ngarava (4-0-14-1) conceded just three to earn a consolation victory for Zimbabwe. Luke Jongwe and Donald Tiripano claimed three wickets each.

Rohit, Pujara put India in commanding position at the Oval
Rohit Sharma struck his first Test century away from home and forged a crucial partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara, who himself scored his second half-century, to bring India in a position of ascendancy. India finished the day on 270/3, with Virat Kohli (22) and Ravindra Jadeja (9) at the crease. The lead has inflated to 171 runs.
Rohit (127) reached his century with a glorious six off Moeen Ali. He was undone, again, while attempting a pull, off Ollie Robinson. Pujara, helped by some uninspiring bowling from the English pacers early in his innings, seized every opportunity. He made 61 before falling to Robinson, just five balls after Rohit.
South Africa makes it 1-1 with 67-run victory over Sri Lanka

Charith Asalanka and Dasun Shanaka added 64 for the fifth wicket to keep the chase alive before Tabraiz Shamsi removed both within two overs to put the pressure back. The rain intervened again, and Sri Lanka found themselves 67 runs behind the target, as per the DLS method.
