(Eds: Adding byline) London, Sep 11 (PTI) India lost the fifth and final Test against England by 118 runs here Tuesday despite heroic resistance from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, bringing the curtains down on a tour which started as a golden opportunity but ended in a saga of disappointments.

Foden was handed his first European start of the season two days after he signed a new long-term contract, and he impressed while completing the 90 minutes. City needed just a point to clinch top spot in Group F and, despite falling behind to Andrej Kramaric’s goal, Leroy Sane’s brace ensured they secured victory at the Etihad Stadium. Foden had been restricted to starts in the EFL Cup prior to Tuesday, but Guardiola said he never had any fears that the player could perform at the highest level....
The clash at Al Bayt Stadium is an eye-catching one for neutrals, who have seen the likes of England’s Jude Bellingham and France’s Kylian Mbappe in superb form so far, as their respective sides topped their groups and cruised through to the knockout stage. The Three Lions and Les Bleus have been facing off for almost 100 years but rarely have the stakes been as high, with a semifinal against Portugal or Morocco in the offing for Saturday’s victors....

Here are the five talking points from the opening day: #5 Virat Kohli’s changes in team selection…37 Tests and counting Those who have tracked Virat Kohli’s captaincy tenure will know that no matter the end result of the contest, he will give you a talking point to write on before it begins, in the form of his team selections....
Some of these players have been around for a while and have established themselves as excellent ODI players whilst the recent mammoth performances of newcomers have led to positive speculation regarding their futures. Both squads are extremely strong in the batting and bowling departments, but here is my pick for the best XI: #1: Jason Roy Jason Roy has a reputation of being a destructive opening batsman and he has lived up to that hype as well....

Taylor, however, was of the opinion that it’s not easy to get a batsman of Williamson’s caliber out easily, adding that ‘a lot of teams’ have tried and failed in the past. Just being able to play cricket during a pandemic is a blessing: Ross Taylor The pandemic has had a severe impact on people across the globe and it’s been no different for the game of cricket. When asked about the impact of the restrictions imposed due to the pandemic, Ross Taylor said that even though the situation was not ideal, it was great to even be able to play the sport....
Gareth Southgate’s men have been drawn against Belgium, Panama and Tunisia in Group G for the 2018 event in Russia, but they are not considered among the favourites. Matthaus – who won the 1990 World Cup – feels England should be contenders in four years’ time. The former Bayern Munich star pointed to the country’s success at the Under-17 World Cup last year, but he believes Germany could go back-to-back by lifting the trophy in Russia....
Travelers from the 47 countries will no longer be required to quarantine in a hotel when arriving in England. The other countries in the U.K.—Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland—are likely to follow suit. The change will go into place on Monday, leaving only seven countries on the “red list” that requires visitors to enter hotel quarantine for 11 nights, which costs 2,285 pounds ($3,100) for individual travelers. Travelers from Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Peru and Venezuela are the only countries that will still need to meet that requirement....
After an impressive opening win over South Africa, the Cricket World Cup hosts slipped to a surprise 14-run defeat against a Pakistan side who were on a dismal run of ODI defeats going into that clash. But captain Eoin Morgan suggested in his news conference on Friday that England came into the competition well aware that they would have to deal with setbacks in their pursuit of success. And one way of countering that disappointing reverse might be a change to the line-up, with the possibility of Liam Plunkett coming in as an extra seamer....
The advantage was gained on the back of a 189-run partnership between Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes, who made his maiden Test hundred and remained unbeaten 120 at the conclusion of the day’s play. Here are the talking points from the proceedings: Cook fails again 21,0,13, 46 and 1: These are the last five scores for Alastair Cook in Test cricket. Barring the double hundred at the Melbourne Cricket Ground(MCG) in last summer’s Ashes, the left-hander has struggled to get going in the matches that he has played and his form may not be a major headache as of now for the management, but for England to reduce the pressure on the likes of Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and others, it is imperative that Cook gets going in the remaining matches....
While India may not seem to have much to ponder over their batting lineup, the bowling attack which they will field in the first Test still looks uncertain. With five pace bowlers, two genuine spinners, and a couple of all-rounders Virat Kohli has his work cut out for him as far as getting the right bowling combination is concerned. Given Edgbaston’s history of aiding swing and seam bowlers, it is almost a surety that they will have a pace-heavy lineup....
While James Anderson may possess a much better overall skill-set, Stuart Broad has the uncanny propensity to deliver seething spells from nowhere. Although he may fall short of the aforementioned legends consistency-wise, Broad certainly belongs to elite category when it comes to unleashing untamed bursts of energy.

Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders have produced in recent years, but their roles have changed with Trevor Siemian under center. Sanders had 49- and 39-yard efforts in his first two games, while Thomas’ only big contribution was a 44-yard catch in Week 2. Denver is 2-0, but there’s a still a part of these players that would like to see more action. WEEK 3 PICKS: Straight up | Against the spread...
