The two stitched together a mammoth partnership of 189 runs. While Bairstow missed a deserving century by seven runs, Woakes notched up his maiden Test hundred at the iconic Lords on Day-3 of the already rain-marred Test match. At the crease, England have already earned an insurmountable lead of 250 runs, with Woakes batting at 120 runs joined by the player of the match from Edgbaston Test, Sam Curran who was unconquered at 22 runs....

Defining Emotional Abuse Emotional abuse, sometimes called psychological abuse, is a pattern of behaviors where one person subjects another person to nonphysical acts that harm another person’s overall ability to function and their mental well-being. These relationships can happen between romantic partners, a parent and child, caretaker and dependent, teacher and student, close friends, or within a professional setting. While researchers have slightly different definitions of the concept, they have identified a variety of types of emotional abuse, including:...

The video shared by @andyshell59, which had over 106,000 likes at the time of writing, was overlaid with a message that read: “Ellie’s early 18th birthday surprise.” The video shows a dog cage adorned with balloons placed in the hallway leading to the main front door of a home. A letter posted on a mirror along the wall read: “Hi Ellie, I know you’ve been waiting 18 years for me but I’m here now....

In a post shared on Reddit’s Antiwork subforum, user treschanna asked: “What is a polite and professional way to explain to my employer that since they’ve decided to cut our salary by 60 percent, that I’ll only be completing 40 percent of all assigned tasks from now on?” The Reddit poster is certainly not alone in feeling less motivated at work and wanting to take a giant leap back in the effort they put in....

Palermo’s 3-0 defeat at Venezia on Thursday meant Aurelio Andreazzoli’s side only needed a point at their Stadio Carlo Castellani and led in the 36th minute when Francesco Caputo converted Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s cross. Relegation-threatened Novara levelled deep into first-half stoppage time through George Puscas but there were no further goals, meaning it was time to get the party started at the final whistle. Parma and Palermo are level on points, one ahead of Frosinone and three better off than Venezia and Bari, with the battle for the second automatic promotion spot set to go down to the wire....

Encarnacion homered three times and drove in six runs, helping Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians beat the Texas Rangers 12-4 on Wednesday. The 35-year-old Encarnacion said Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols made a FaceTime call to him after the victory. “We used to talk a lot,” Encarnacion said. “He called me almost every day and we’d talk about hitting. He’s a great guy.” Encarnacion hit a three-homer in the first, a two-run shot in the second and a solo drive in the eighth....

It had no explanation about 32-year-old Shikhar Dhawan’s exclusion from the squad which clearly suggests that he has been dropped from the Test team. In all likelihood he will be joining the list of players whose services are limited to white ball cricket. Shikhar Dhawan made his Test debut in 2013 against Australia with a scintillating innings, scoring 187 at a strike rate of 107.47 which is still remembered as one of the most dominating innings in a debut game....

The league announced Thursday that Parros will take over as head of the Department of Payer Safety for the 2017-18 season, replacing senior vice president Stephane Quintal as chief decision maker when it comes to doling out fines and suspensions. Quintal is to remain in the league office, turning his attention to other projects. Parros amassed 1,092 penalty minutes — including 150 fighting majors — during a 474-game NHL career, played mostly with the Ducks....

However, the left-handed batsman specified that he had no qualms in facing Mohammad Amir, the left-arm quick who makes a return to the Test scene after serving a ban for five years. Cook said that Amir had served his time and that “he was punished for what he did”. The trio of Amir, Salman Butt, and Mohammad Asif were banned for spot-fixing during the Test series against England in 2010....

The all-rounder played no part in the 4-0 Ashes defeat at the hands of Australia due to an ongoing police investigation into a late-night incident in Bristol back in September. He is the subject of an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) suspension as he waits to hear whether he will be charged for his involvement. The 26-year-old was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and subsequently released under investigation without charge....

England and Italy faced each other in their opening group game to get things off in Israel. It was largely a dull game for most part, with neither side willing to take risks and go an extra mile. England (disappointingly) resorted to long balls over the top, while Italy seemed like the far superior side, getting into a decent passing rhythm. The Italians looked more like doing something with the ball and created more of the chances....

New Test head coach Brendon McCullum will be buoyed by his side’s performance — lit up by Jonny Bairstow’s batting — against his homeland as England look to peg India back to 2-2 in the series. India beat England by 157 runs at The Oval in the fourth Test last September, since when Ben Stokes has replaced Joe Root as England captain and Romit Sharma has succeeded Virat Kohli to lead the visitors, although a positive COVID-19 test could yet hinder the away skipper’s participation in Birmingham....

Although the series was much closer which will not reflect in the final scoreline, India would know that they were second best to England and also realise there is a huge difference between competing and crossing the line. In a five-match series, along with the disappointment, there are bound to be some positives too along the way. Here are a few highs and lows during the 2018 Test series....

Ganguly wants Prithvi Shaw in place of either Dhawan or Rahul and wants the team to try out Hanuma Vihari in place of Hardik Pandya and go in with just four bowlers. In his column for the Times of India, Ganguly wrote, “What Virat needs to have a look at is his team’s batting. It is important to have a change at the top and give Prithvi Shaw a go....

So, what should we expect in this short series between two of the most exciting teams in One-Day Cricket at the moment? England in England- a strong proposition Since World Cup 2015, England have won 28 ODIs in their own country. No other team has won as many in a single country in the same period. They have lost just 8, giving them in a Win/Loss Ratio of 3.50- the best for any team who has played at least 10 ODIs in a given country....

The World No. 11 has had a hard time since her breakthrough run last year at Flushing Meadows. Raducanu has arrived on the scene of her greatest triumph on the back of a 13-15 win-loss record for the year. That said, the youngster has had an encouraging few weeks since teaming up with new coach Dmitry Tursunov. The 19-year-old Brit reached the quarterfinals of the Citi Open and the Round of 16 in Cincinnati in addition to suffering an opening-round exit from Toronto in recent weeks....
