Genetics A gene mutation or genetic disorder may increase your risk of endometrial cancer. With that in mind, some other cancers can be “red flags” for endometrial cancer risk, as they have the potential of having the same genetic underpinnings. One genetic disorder that contributes to a high risk of endometrial cancer is hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome. This condition increases your risk of certain cancers, especially colon cancer, endometrial cancer (your likelihood of developing it is 40 percent to 60 percent), and ovarian cancer....

Lord’s has not hosted a Test match since August 2019. In the previous Test played at this iconic venue, Australia drew with England in a closely-contested match. England posted a 258-run total on the board in the first innings, and in reply, the visitors scored 250. Ben Stokes’ century helped the English team set a 267-run target for Australia in the fourth innings. The Aussies were 154/6 in 47.3 overs when the game ended in a draw....

A change to the rules surrounding overseas player qualification by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has opened up the possibility of Barbados-born Archer playing for his adopted homeland early next year. The ECB announced in November that players wishing to play for England need only complete a three-year residency period - down from the previous mark of seven for those moving after their 18th birthday - with the changes coming into effect for the start of 2019....

The Hampshire batsman was already selected for the one-off 50-over international against Ireland on Friday but will now also remain with the squad for the five-match series with Pakistan that follows. Vince has been in fine form for his county in the Royal London One-Day Cup this season, scoring 402 runs at an average of 80.40 in the competition. His call-up comes after Alex Hales was withdrawn from all of England’s squads - including their preliminary list for the Cricket World Cup - after reportedly serving a 21-day suspension for what his spokesman described as an “off-field incident”....

Gareth Southgate’s side are preparing for a quarter-final against Sweden in Samara on Saturday as they bid to reach the last four of the tournament for the first time in 28 years. Kane was on target from the spot in Tuesday’s 1-1 last-16 draw with Colombia in Moscow - his sixth goal in just three appearances at Russia 2018. Although the Three Lions were pegged back by Yerry Mina’s stoppage-time header and fell behind in the shoot-out, they recovered to book their last-eight berth and Kane says a keen sense of brotherly love was central to that triumph....

Broad was also keen to stress that he needed to find an USP to succeed in ODIs. “I almost need a bit of a unique selling point in one-day cricket," he said. “I can’t just be a regulation line-and-length bowler, I have to be something a bit different and whether that’s me going round the wicket and looking to improve my skills in that way, making the batsman think: ‘What’s he doing here?...

As Albert Einstein once said ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results’. England’s performances based on this quote and on the opinions of football fans across the country would merit the term ‘insanity’. Over the last few decades, England fans have had to become accustomed to mediocrity, in every sense of the word. Performances have not been fitting of a country which claims to be the father of the beautiful game....

Anderson is set to be a key member of the England team against rivals Australia in a series that begins with the first Test at Edgbaston on August 1. But the country’s all-time record wicket taker pulled up while bowling against Durham at Sedbergh. Anderson tried three times to complete the over but was ultimately forced off to be replaced by Josh Bohannon. The 36-year-old claimed his 950th first-class wicket on day two of the County Championship Division Two match on Monday....

Rooney, who retired from international football in 2017, will be part of Southgate’s squad at Wembley on Thursday in a fixture named ‘The Wayne Rooney Foundation international’. While some argue that the sentiment is a welcome change from the pragmatic environment of professional football, there has been plenty of disapproval from fans and media alike. Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has slammed the situation as ‘a circus’, while Peter Shilton, England’s record appearance-maker, has suggested there are better ways to highlight Rooney’s charity activities....

The last 5-6 months has been exciting and filled with thrills right from some tight, close games in the IPL to a World Cup that saw hosts England become first time champions in a WC finals that would go down as among the best ODI to have been played. The action finally shifts to the highest and toughest form of cricket-test cricket to take centre stage. In a precursor to the main event- The Ashes, England took on Ireland at Lord’s last week....

Meanwhile, England will look to dominate further and win the final Test for the retiring Alastair Cook. Cook is one of the greatest openers that the game has seen and is also the highest run-getter for England. This sudden retirement has also put some question marks on England’s preparation for the Ashes, which is to be held next year. Apart from this, the last match is expected to be a close one with both teams wanting to secure victory for very different reasons....

Current performances from the Indian team have opened up a lot of questions for the selectors to look into before finalizing the squad for the last two Tests. The opening combination and Karthik’s form would be the hottest topics in the selectors’ meeting. Thus, some surprise selections for the last two Tests could be a story. Moreover, selectors are also expected to do some axing for the final two games....

The Nuggets guard apologized for mimicking the official who ejected Pop from Thursday’s game. (Popovich called the official, Zach Zarba, a “terrible referee.”) MORE: Spurs-Nuggets Game Center Should Mudiay really have said he was sorry? He nailed the motion, after all, and Pop isn’t, um, universally loved, so plenty of folks were glad to see all of that happen. They might not have been glad to see the Spurs, minus Pop, beat the Nuggets 118-104....

Real Madrid midfielder and Croatia captain Modric, 33, capped a brilliant 2018 by claiming the Ballon d’Or in Paris on Monday. Barcelona great Messi and Juventus superstar Ronaldo had dominated the individual award, winning the honour five times apiece over 10 years. However, Modric ended their decade-long duopoly on the prize following Croatia’s run to the World Cup final and Madrid’s third successive Champions League crown. Modric – who was also named FIFA’s Best Men’s Player this year – acknowledged Messi and Ronaldo’s quality but added that his success is a “victory for football”....

Left-back Cole is one of only nine men to have played over 100 times for the Three Lions, who he represented at the 2002, 2006 and 2010 World Cups. The former Chelsea and Arsenal defender won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups, as well as helping the Blues to win the 2011-12 Champions League. He moved to MLS side LA Galaxy in 2016 after a brief spell with Roma before returning to England earlier this year to play under former Chelsea and England team-mate Frank Lampard at Derby County....

England scored through Will Calnan’s (25th minute) field strike and penalty corner conversion by Luke Taylor (44th) to register the comfortable win. England will face Olympic champions Argentina in the first quarterfinal on Wednesday. World No. 7 England were by far the better side against New Zealand in the opening two quarters, creating more goalscoring chances than their ninth-ranked opponents. England had the first scoring chance in the fifth when they earned their first penalty corner but they failed to utilise the opportunity....

An ill-tempered clash between the Lionesses and Cameroon in the Women’s World Cup last 16 on Sunday saw a number of flashpoints - and video replays seemingly showed Ejangue spit on Duggan’s arm. England coach Neville, who oversaw a 3-0 win, said he was “ashamed” of the Cameroon players’ behaviour throughout the tie but reserved praise for Duggan. “[The press officer] just mentioned it to me now,” he told a news conference....

Matt Hancock made the comments the day after a stricter lockdown was announced for London and surrounding areas following scientists confirming the existence of a new variant of the virus that could be up to 70 percent more transmissible. Speaking on Sunday morning political shows, Hancock said that people needed to act as though they have the virus in order to stop it spreading. “Unfortunately this virus, the new strain, was out of control, we’ve got to get it under control and the way we can do that, the only way you can do that is by restricting social contact and essentially—especially in tier 4 areas—everybody needs to behave as though they might well have the virus,” he told Sky News’ Sophy Ridge on Sunday....

Krunal Pandya starred in the last victory with the tremendous figures of 4-21 which helped to restrict the Lions for 112 runs. Axar Patel and Navdeep Saini also played their part and took two wickets each in that victory. The host were bundled up for 172 runs in the first innings courtesy of Deepak Chahar’s 39 runs. England blew a crucial opportunity to get back in the series and lost by 60 runs in such a low-scoring affair....
