INDIA TOUR OF ENGLAND, 2025 Rishabh Pant took on the bowlers once he occupied the crease © Getty England picked up two wickets on the fourth morning of the second Test in Birmingham, including that of half-centurion KL Rahul.

CNN — The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered their worst ever loss at Dodger Stadium on Friday night as they were routed 18-1 by the Houston Astros. The last time the Dodgers lost by 17 runs at home was July 3, 1947, when Brooklyn, where the franchise was based until 1958, was on the end of a 19-2 blowout win by the New York Giants at Ebbets Field, according to ESPN. “That was one you want to flush as soon as possible,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts after Friday’s game, the first of a three-game series between two division leaders. “I…
JOIN OUR WHATSAPP CHANNEL Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchises have rejected objections raised over the increase in their share of the central revenue pool, stating that nothing unlawful occurred. The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) current administration has yet to decide whether to initiate a formal inquiry into the matter. The issue recently came under scrutiny in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), where it was highlighted—based on audit reports—that the PCB had increased the central pool share of PSL franchises to 95%, resulting in an alleged loss of billions of rupees to the board. According to sources, a PSL meeting was…
AUSTRALIA TOUR OF WEST INDIES, 2025 Brandon King scored his maiden Test fifty © AFP Brandon King scored his maiden Test half-century and powered West Indies alongside some lower-order push from Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph to get close to Australia’s first-innings total before folding. Jayden Seales then dismissed both Australia openers – Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja – to leave the visitors in a precarious position at the close of play on Day 2. West Indies were wobbly to start off with their riposte to Australia’s 286 as Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins took out Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy…
CNN — Arthur Ashe hits a slice serve with unerring accuracy, the ball arcing ever wider off the court. Jimmy Connors, his heavily favored opponent and the defending champion, gets just enough of his racket on the ball to sneak it over the net. But Ashe is already halfway up the court, pouncing on the short ball and punching the volley away with ease to clinch the Wimbledon title. He holds his arms out briefly, before turning to his box with a clenched fist and then shaking Connors’ hand. It is a somewhat nonchalant reaction to one of the defining…
INDIA WOMEN TOUR OF ENGLAND, 2025 Lauren Filer dismissed Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur as India fell just short in chase © Getty England found a way to stay alive in the T20I series despite multiple stutters along the way, as they beat India by five runs in a thrilling last-ball finish in the third T20I at The Oval. Having lost the first two matches, England looked like they had finally put together a complete batting performance when Sophia Dunkley and Danni Wyatt-Hodge added 137 runs for the first wicket but then came a dramatic collapse. The hosts lost nine…
CNN — For a professional athlete, sitting on the sidelines – unable to have an impact – can often be the most frustrating place to be. And that’s why Khalen Saunders is all about taking action, on the field and in his personal life. The New Orleans Saints defensive tackle isn’t content with just being an ally to the LGBTQ+ community; his mantra is “actions speak louder than words.” One of the ways that Saunders is taking action is by running a youth football camp specifically for children in the LGBTQ+ community, the first of its kind. The camp will…
“You’re here for a reason. I guess you just trust that. You’re in this position because you’re a good player,” Hazlewood said in support of Konstas. “Every time I’ve bowled to him in the last few months [in the nets], he just keeps getting better and better, it feels like. He got thrown into a tough situation there. “But we saw in the first innings, he played some really nice shots, put some pressure back on the bowlers. I think he’s turning in the right direction. But it’s tough at 19.” In some ways, the attacking intent expected from Konstas…
