First of all,it mentions an activity continouning in the future or present.... But I think It is the same with a single use of ""should+V1" as we use -- will+be+verbing --- because I think there is a little or any difference between the uses of will future and will+be+ verbing......................................

Hello, Rachid, here is how I understand those sentences:
1, He should be playing cricket. A:"Where's Tom?" / B: "In his room, sleeping" / A: "What? He should be playing cricket! [but he's not] They're all waiting for him!"
2, The aeroplane should be landing now. A:"What time is it? " / B:" 12.30" / A: "Ah! their aeroplane should be landing now."
3, I should not
