The all-rounder had been contracted by England for all formats since 2014-15 but it was confirmed on Friday he had only received a white-ball deal for 2019-20. Th news came after Moeen was left out of the squad for the second Ashes Test in August, having taken 3-172 and scored four with the bat across both innings of a humbling opening defeat to Australia. It was revealed at the time Moeen would look to spend some time “recharging” before making his county return for Worcestershire....

Jill Ellis’ defending champions will play their eighth straight last-four game at a World Cup on Tuesday against an England side hoping to go one step further after semi-final exits at each of the last two major tournaments. The last time the two met in a World Cup knockout clash was in 2007, when White skippered an England team that were beaten 3-0. And while the 90-cap international acknowledged USA had a certain mystique back then, she insists Phil Neville’s Lionesses have nothing to fear in Lyon....

After every series, during the break, critics and the team reflect back on all that went wrong during the games and that’s the time we’re in. Post the handshakes, when both the Kiwis and the English fly to India for the IPL, the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) has a bit of homework to do. From being totally dependant on Broad-Anderson to missing Duckett and Hameed in the side, the Board ought to restructure the team....

Ranjan Madugalle of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees imposed the fines after Alastair Cook’s side was ruled to be one over short of its target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration. In accordance with ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel regulations governing minor over-rate offences, players are fined 10 per cent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount....

Fast-forward to the present and their respective roles have totally reversed. Australia have resumed their place as top dogs – rounding off a brilliant summer with a World Cup victory on home soil – while English cricket has speedily crashed to its lowest ebb. The Kevin Pietersen saga rages on, emblazened further by their inability to reach the quarter-finals in a humliating World Cup campaign. Captain Alastair Cook is a man wrestling not just for team success but for individual form, and the gaping holes left by the stress-related departure of Jonathan Trott along with the retirement of spinner Graeme Swann are yet to be filled....

Forgotten spinner Lyon, who was left out of the first two Ashes Tests in favour of teenager Ashton Agar despite clinching nine wickets in New Delhi earlier this year, helped Australia get into the driver’s seat after capturing four wickets for 42 runs in his 20 overs on the opening day of the fourth Test on Friday. A modest Lyon was quoted by DNA as saying: “Our pace bowlers bowled fantastically but we’ve been well supported in the field with David Warner and Chris Rogers running around....

London, July 19 (PTI) England may have cracked the Kuldeep Yadav code, but former left-arm spinner Phil Tufnell says India will be better off playing him in the Test series as well, having done the good thing by picking the “rare” talent in the five-day squad. Tufnell was full of praise for Yadav, marking him as a rarity. “You don’t come across too many left-arm wrist spinners. There are a few leg spinners around across all formats....

The referee blows his whistle for the final time and confirms England’s first defeat since June 2017. It’s one that means they’ll finish second in Group G, setting themselves up for what should be a tough last 16 clash with Colombia next Tuesday. A largely second string side did well on a few occasions tonight, but overall they lacked the attacking fluidity needed to get the better of Belgium....

India were dismantled 3-1 in the Test series, suffering innings defeat in the last two matches. Virat Kohli, who had a torrid time in Test series with two ducks and four single digit scores, finally had something to cheer about. His almost run-a-ball 71 runs along with Ambati Rayudu’s 72 (retired hurt) helped India score 230 all out in 44.2 overs. In reply, Middlesex, an English county side, were bowled out for 135 in 39....

It also has to be mentioned here that the Eoin Morgan-side are a much more destructive ODI side than they have been in T20Is in the recent past. Having said this, the Indian team seem to have all the bases covered and on pitches which are generally flaccid and batting paradises, the visitors seem to have the firepower to outmuscle the English team. Well, England did blank Australia in their previous ODI series, but this team led by Virat Kohli will pose a trickier challenge to them, perhaps more than any team since they revamped their ODI model back in 2015....

However, as things transpired, England restored normal order after two days of bizarre action by skittling out the visitors for 38 and winning the contest by 143 runs. Chasing a mere 181 for the win going into a cloudy third day, the Irish, led by the obdurate William Porterfield, would have been reasonably confident of putting up a fight despite the inexorable butterflies in the stomach. However, all their fledgeling dreams fell to place thanks to dexterous swing bowling of the highest order by England pacers Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes....

As humans, we are born with emotions, which are a bona fide superpower if you learn how to use them. Here is the catch though, we don’t get training in life on how to use our emotions as a superpower. Having high emotional intelligence, or emotional quotient, is the point where you have mastered your emotions. What kind of benefits can you get if you grow your emotional abilities like a superhero?...

The Indians will get back their home runs and RBIs leader for their MLB matchup with the Yankees in game five on Wednesday.

Corey Kluber will start for the Indians in game five, while CC Sabathia will be on the bump for the Yankees....

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) saved the fish after a tip-off from anglers who saw the sturgeon being taken by a suspected poacher. Images released by the CDFW showed the large green sturgeon, in the trunk of the car. The southern population segment of green sturgeon in North America was listed as an endangered species by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries in 2006 under the Endangered Species Act....

Let’s take a look at the evidence behind the safety of energy drinks and whether they have any specific damaging effect on the kidneys. History of Energy Drinks If you do not include coffee, (which technically might be considered one of the first popular energy drinks to be mass consumed), Coca-Cola or Coke might have been the first modern energy/stimulant drink. And that’s not just due to the caffeine content, but also because it contained cocaine as an ingredient....

The two teams met at the Tolerance Oval during the T20 World Cup 2021 warm-up round, where England beat New Zealand by 13 runs. Mark Wood was the hero for England in that game.

Ahead of the first semifinal, here’s a look at England and New Zealand’s head-to-head stats in T20I cricket....

One of the GameCube’s most-requested ports has been Killer7, the cult-classic, cel-shaded action game helmed by notorious director Goichi Suda (or as he’s better known, Suda51). Interestingly, while a Switch version is definitely not in the works and never has been, it seems the team behind the game’s PC port, Engine Software, would be open to bringing it to Nintendo’s handheld console in the future.
