It’s been a tumultuous decade for the England national football team; the Three Lions started in 2010 with a disastrous World Cup campaign under Fabio Capello, being eliminated by Germany in one-sided fashion in the Round of 16, and from there things largely went from bad to worse – for a while at least. Capello made way for Roy Hodgson in 2012 and the veteran boss took England to a Quarter-Final spot at Euro 2012, but his following two tournaments were abominable; the Three Lions crashed out in the group stages of World Cup 2014 and were then eliminated by Iceland at Euro 2016 in truly humiliating fashion, resulting in Hodgson’s departure....

“Make your mind up, Adil. One minute he’s playing, one minute he’s not. That’s not how it works; you can’t just say I’m now available. You play and then let the selectors select”, Hussain told Sky Sports Cricket. With a scorching summer likely to spawn drier pitches, the focus has already shifted towards England’s spin reserves. Since his game-changing spells in the ODIs at Lord’s and Leeds, there is increasing clamour around Rashid’s wrist-spin....

Raducanu, who is competing in her first full season on the WTA Tour this year, first revealed that she always travels with a disposable camera in her bag. The 18-year-old said she enjoys looking back at the memorable moments from her trips, before showing some of the pictures she took during one of the Billie Jean King Cup ties. Having dubbed herself a persistent snacker in an earlier interaction with LTA, Emma Raducanu reasserted her love for confectionery in the ’tour essentials’ video....

The England women’s team kickstarted the series with a comfortable victory over West Indies and will continue as favourites during the second game of the five-match T20I series. During the previous outing, England opener Tammy Beaumont stood firm and notched up a half-century to help her side finish with 163/8. The West Indies bowlers picked up wickets a tad bit too late in the innings. In response, Windies managed to score only 116 runs, with Deandra Dottin being the only player to get into double digits with 69 runs to her name....

England’s Chester Zoo announced the arrival of the frogs on Twitter Wednesday. Attached to the tweet was an educational video about the odd-looking amphibians, which has received nearly 3,000 views. “[Twenty] of the world’s LARGEST aquatic frogs have just gone display at #TheZoo for the very FIRST time,” the zoo tweeted. “Here’s how they earned themselves the rather unfortunate nickname … the scrotum frog.” According to the video, the frogs’ official name is the Lake Titicaca water frog....

The character Reaper in Overwatch 2 is mostly unchanged in looks, playstyle, and abilities from where he was at the end of Overwatch. Using twin Hellfire Shotguns, Reaper is a close-range flanker that relies on skirting around the sides of a skirmish and ambushing the opposing team. Without a team of their own, anyone playing Reaper is at a severe disadvantage as the character’s only defensive option is a 35% passive life steal....

Need of widespread empty land Strong natural winds for more power But what if I say there could be a way of generating energy in the urban areas without the strong natural winds. Surprising! Right! Well, what I am trying to say here is just an idea which occurred to me while taking a walk down the street in the morning. Population is growing at an alarming speed and cities are spreading on its outskirts with a good speed....

We all knew people growing up where we said, “Well, if that kid did something awful, we wouldn’t be surprised.” And yet: did any of us report that person? I’m not saying you have to report anyone who is weird, but there have been these issues where there were red flags in people’s background before, and unfortunately, a lot of times, it wasn’t reported to the authorities. If these really strict gun control laws worked, we wouldn’t have the issues that we have in Chicago, where dozens of people are being shot every single weekend....

The rain took control of the last day and showed why it’s a force not to be underestimated. The sheer force and power, demonstrated why bowlers and batsmen alike shiver in their boots at the very thought of it. The rain claims the little urn and with great pride will celebrate tonight. Ok enough with the jokes and now in all seriousness, England have retained the Ashes! The Third Test ended in a draw which means the series cannot be won by Australia and therefore because England won the last series they have retained the Ashes....

The South African-born has been struggling with the bat for a very long time now. Looking into the tour of England in India, he had two ducks and only one century, which is not convincing for a player like him. He managed an average of just 29.3 in England again which included two ducks. His bad formed continued in Australia too. In both the innings Trotty got out to Mitchell Johnson’s short ball scoring ten and nine respectively....

The 19-year-old defender has made three outings for the Three Lions at U-21 level, but will make a step up in a final fixture before Gareth Southgate’s side head to Russia. Alexander-Arnold is one of several changes made by England to the side which edged out Nigeria 2-1 in their last outing. With Southgate eager to take a look at as many players as possible heading into a major tournament, those on the fringes of the fold have been given an opportunity to impress at Elland Road....

Earlier in the morning, England were bowled out for 486 runs shortly after an hour’s play but not before taking a massive first innings lead of 338 runs. Then the hosts made sure they scalped both Indian openers Murali Vijay (2) and Gautam Gambhir (3) before going in to lunch. Resuming the day at 385/7, the England lower order put on another 101 runs in only 11.3 overs in the first session as No....

Now, with the series nicely poised at 1-1, the contest moves to the beautiful city of Bristol which will decide the fate of the series. Thus, with a series decider on the cards, the Indian team would be looking forward to churning out the best possible XI for the third T20I match. India’s squad for T20I series against England: Virat Kohli (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni (WK), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Siddarth Kaul, and Umesh Yadav....

Expectedly, the young side faltered and towards the end at The Oval, the wheels had come off. India were looking like a team which did not belong in the arena, they were looking downcast as if someone had knocked their stuffing out completely. However, the end of that series was a complete contrast to how it had begun. At Trent Bridge, the side exuded confidence for certain parts, both with bat and ball and heading into Lord’s, it was the hosts who were on the backfoot....

Cheteshwar Pujara played an absolute blinder in the first innings to score his first hundred in England. But India’s batting line-up collapsed once again after the fall of the wicket of Virat Kohli in the 2nd innings. Moeen Ali, who was making a comeback to the Test team after a few months was absolutely brilliant with the ball. He took 9 wickets and scored some vital runs in the first innings as well....

On a sluggish surface at the Sophia Gardens, they rode on a wholesome bowling performance and then on Alex Hales’ composure to overcome a spirited Indian challenge.

After the little-master Sachin Tendulkar, Kohli is the only Indian batsman to have achieved this prestigious milestone. Following his remarkable show at Edgbaston, he dethroned his Australian counterpart, Smith, who has been the reigning No.1 Test batsman for more than 24 consecutive months. As a result, the Indian star has drawn a lot of praise from cricketing experts and former legends from around the globe, though, not more than the one from another Australian legend, Steve Waugh....

The fifth and final Test match of the England-India series is going on at the Oval, and India are fighting a nearly lost cause. The side lost Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Virat Kohli by the time the score reached just 8, and the hosts may just have tightened the noose on the visiting team to such an order that it is irreversible now. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Stuart Broad has suffered an injury, but he is still playing on, as the game has just begun for its final day....

This report gained some attention on Twitter and led a fan to ask Denver wideout Emmanuel Sanders a simple question: “How would you like to catch balls from Kaepernick?” Sanders provided a teenager-humor response.
