BOSTON - Point guard Rajon Rondo started the Boston Celtics opener against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night — less than five weeks after breaking a bone in his left hand.Wearing a black brace that covered his left wrist and part of his hand, Rondo gave the traditional captains welcome to the fans and took the floor for the opening tipoff. On Bostons first possession, he brought the ball down the court, dribbling with both hands, before driving into the lane and throwing a pass that went through Avery Bradleys hands.Asked before the game how much he would be able to use his left hand, Rondo said, Youll have to ask me that question after the game.Rondo said before the game that he made the decision about an hour before the tipoff.

Alastair Cook was captaining England for the first time in one-day cricket and guided his team to a 3-0 series win. But while England ultimately ran out comfortable winners, Bangladesh ensured they were made to work every step of the way.Read on to relive five of the most memorable moments from the series... Tip-top TamimWhat were you doing as a 20-year-old? For Tamim Iqbal it was carrying the weight of a nations hopes on your shoulders. A nation of fervent cricket supporters. No easy job, and one made even harder when your team-mates collapse around you, as Iqbal found out in the opening one-day international. Watch Tamim Iqbals 125 during the 1st ODI against England in 2010 in Dhaka The left-hander struck a dazzling century (125), making the most of a drop by Eoin Morgan in the covers when on 10. However, no-one stuck around with him as Bangladesh posted a chaseable 228. And his knock proved to be in vain as England ran out six-wicket winners.Morgans maiden ODI tonThis is the innings where future skipper Morgan made a real mark in the England team, less than a year after making his debut. Cooks side looked down and out in the second ODI, as did their unbeaten record against Bangladesh, before Morgan unleashed a rasping display of his bludgeoning ability. Smashing 110 not out, his first ODI hundred in England colours, Morgan navigated a tricky trial by spin as the lower order fell with ease. Having only two wickets left, one being an injured Stuart Broad, Morgan completed the victory in thrilling style,, depositing Shafiul Islam for six to seal the match and series.dddddddddddd WATCH NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for £6.99 - no contract Collingwoods catchThe second ODI chase would have been a lot harder for England if not for the timely intervention of Paul Collingwood when he took a stunning catch to remove Imrul Kayes. Bangladesh were well set on 134 for the loss of just two wickets as Kayes eyes widened and he attempted to drive Graeme Swann to the boundary. He must have thought it was on its way to the ropes, too, when he struck the ball so firmly. However, a diving Collingwood flung himself to the right and kept hold of the punishing shot, undoing Bangladesh just as they looked to go big.Craigs key knockBrought in at the beginning of the ODI series, as a chance for the selectors to see what he was made of ahead of the upcoming World T20 tournament, the then 22-year-old Craig Kieswetter had endured a frustrating time going into the final match. While the performance may not have been the free-armed bashing witnessed before and after this match, it was a confidence-boosting showing, striking a vital century. Underpinning the innings, Kieswetter watchfully set about the Bangladesh bowling allowing Morgan and Luke Wright to go after them in the final stages of the innings.Luke strikes the Wright noteA 32-run smite may not seem like much compared to Kieswetters crucial ton, yet Wright hinted at his power-hitting potential with the brilliant 13-ball cameo. Promoted up the order, he came in with three overs to go, upping the tempo at a crucial time, including sending Rubel Hossain for a massive six off the final ball of the innings. Importantly, the commanding knock ensured England reached a total beyond Bangladeshs means.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.
