Troubled Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf will fight to clear his name in an ongoing spot-fixing scandal in India, family sources told AFP on Saturday, saying he had returned to his home in Lahore. The International Cricket Council (ICC) this week withdrew the 57-year-old umpire from next month's Champions Trophy in England in the wake of media reports that he was under police investigation. Mumbai police on Friday refused to confirm whether Rauf would be called in for questioning, as media outlets in India and Pakistan tried to track the umpire down.

Yorkshire chief executive Mark Arthur was hopeful crowds would flock to Headingley after the first day of the second and final Test between England and New Zealand in Leeds on Friday was washed out completely. Heavy overnight and early morning rain delayed the scheduled 11am local (1000GMT) start and, after several showers Friday, the umpires abandoned play for the day shortly before 4pm (1500GMT) without a ball bowled. "Disappointment is the word. It's disappointing for everyone at Headingley, for the supporters and for the cricketers," Arthur told reporters.
