Marcus Harris prepares to commit a murder

Season 16, Episode 4: Cricket got underway in England over the last week, with more rain than balls bowled but some bumper days of play nonetheless, not least the one in which Sam Northeast knocked together 335 at Lord's. Will Nathan Lyon's two overs count as a game played? The wait remains. In Australia, Nic Maddinson moves states again. There's a chaotic week of IPL, the Sri Lanka's women's team complete a historic series win in South Africa, Roberta Moretti steps down after seven years as captain of Brazil, and the world lost Papua New Guinea's finest bowler Kaia Arua.
