Root has been on a run-scoring spree in the last couple of years in the longest format of the game. On the flip side, Virat Kohli, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson have endured a rather lean patch in the same period. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra highlighted Root and Kohli’s contrasting returns in recent times, saying: The former Indian opener added that Smith and Williamson have also been found wanting when compared to Root....

International cricket was last played on March 13 and has since been suspended due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. But it is all set to return from July 8 as England host West Indies for a three-match Test series, with the first Test to be played at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. Ben Stokes will be leading the England side in skipper Joe Root’s absence. Phil Simmons has said that he is hopeful Jason Holder will be able to outwit the stand-in England skipper in both batting and bowling....

Marsh brothers Shaun (156) and Mitchell (101) made centuries on another painful day for the tourists in blistering heat at the SCG, where Steve Smith declared on 649-7. Nathan Lyon struck twice as England were reduced to 93-4 at stumps on the penultimate day of the series, needing another 210 runs to make Australia bat again. James Vince’s place in the side will come under further scrutiny after he failed again, while Mark Stoneman was dismissed without scoring before Joe Root (42 not out) and Jonny Bairstow (17no) offered some resistance....

England topped Group A ahead of the clash at Eden Arena having taken a maximum 12 points from four games and victory would have secured their place at the finals. The Three Lions made a positive start when captain Harry Kane converted an early penalty, but the lead lasted less than five minutes as Jakub Brabec punished sloppy defending to score from a corner. Jaroslav Silhavy’s side moved level on points with England when Zdenek Ondrasek came off the bench to fire home the winner on his international debut....

England, led by Tom Prest, haven’t done much wrong in the tournament. After resounding wins over Bangladesh, Canada and the United Arab Emirates, they finished atop the points table with an excellent net run rate of 3.005. They handed South Africa a six-wicket defeat in the Super League quarter-finals, but they had to fight hard to get past Afghanistan in the semis on Tuesday. England won the match by 15 runs (by DLS Method)....

Case 1: Ajinkya Rahane ‘Sense of achievement’ can be a dangerous proposition. The best example of this is exhibited when a batsman, after reaching a milestone, loses concentration and gets out. The immense joy of doing something that etches one’s name in the annals of cricketing history is indeed difficult to resist, but the ones who do are the ones remembered long after their career is over. We do not have to look far back for a live example; in the aforementioned 4th ODI, Ajinkya Rahane, after a scintillating display of elegant strokeplay, met with a ‘soft’ dismissal shortly after his maiden ODI century....

On the back of James Anderson’s five-wicket haul in the first innings and Chris Woakes’ dramatic century in the first innings, England won the second Test by a hefty margin of an innings and 159 runs. Now, we head to the picturesque Trent Bridge in Nottingham for the third Test of the long five-match Test series. The Trent Bridge Test (18-22 August) will prove to be a hell of an encounter with England going for a series victory....

Although the trial ends 24 hours before the team is announced for the third Test at Trent Bridge, Stokes is most likely to miss the game as “there is a fear he may be too exhausted to play at Trent Bridge”, according to a report in The Telegraph. The trial resumes on Monday. With the ongoing trial in place, a cricket discipline case has been put on hold, which will begin 48 hours after the trial ends....

This time last year, the teenage sensation had just sat her A-Level exams and was ranked 338th in the world, as she made her Wimbledon debut in what would prove to be just the start of an incredible few months. Raducanu became the story of the Championships as she made the fourth round before having to retire against Australian Ajla Tomljanovic due to breathing difficulties. She soon bounced back a few months later as she made history by becoming the first ever qualifier to win a Grand Slam, winning the US Open without dropping a set....

With 1,404 yards, nine touchdowns and a first trip to the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Broncos, that appears to be true. “It’s been a good season. Obviously it ended with a Pro Bowl. I wish it would have ended with a Super Bowl,” Sanders told Around The NFL . “… I’m out here in my first Pro Bowl and I caught over 100 balls and went for 1,400 yards....

Not so fast. Shockingly, “The Sopranos” was completely shut out of the acting categories. Michael Imperioli was beaten in the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama category by Terry O’Quinn from “Lost.” Lorraine Bracco and Aida Turturro lost Best Supporting Actress to “Grey’s Anatomy’s” Katherine Heigl. It was an especially stinging loss for Bracco, who for the first time entered the Supporting Actress race, ostensibly to avoid being hit by the Edie Falco Victory Express....

Capture Their Eyes The easiest way to tell how someone’s feeling, or what they’re thinking, is by looking into their eyes.

The egg-enjoyer, u/Nettie_Moore, shared her story to the popular r/AmITheA**hole Reddit forum to determine if she was in the wrong. She earned over 5,500 upvotes and 800 comments in 14 hours for her post, “AITA for eating something my coworker is deathly allergic to?” The original poster (OP) says that the woman in her office who is allergic to eggs can go into anaphylactic shock if she’s around them. Her bosses have asked all employees to not bring eggs, used cartons or egg products into the office....

Lagwena Smith worked in Northwestern Memorial’s Environmental Services Department (EVS) and became infected with the novel coronavirus in early March. The virus forced Smith to be out sick from work for nearly a month, but she told Newsweek that she was only given paid sick leave for her first two weeks. “They gave me like 80 hours, which is like the first two weeks that I was real sick and couldn’t leave the house,” Smith said, adding that the hours were part of the hospital’s COVID-19 pay for employees that contracted the virus while on the job....

Instead, the Bryan Harsin era started at Boise State much the same way Chris Petersen’s tenure ended — with a loss to one of those power conference teams the Broncos so routinely used to beat. You could say that decisive loss to Oregon State at the Hawaii Bowl last December, just weeks after Petersen had left to take the Washington job, marked the end of an era for Boise State....

Yes, racing is a business. But it’s built on relationships, which can make a huge difference between winning and losing. And after a successful three-year relationship, Earnhardt has just one year left with Letarte, who will move to the NBC broadcast booth starting in 2015. “Steve is a great cheerleader and definitely built up my confidence and changed me as a racecar driver and as a person,” Earnhardt said Friday morning at Daytona International Speedway....

Another misstep—one that has yet to be corrected—is the highly restrictive visiting policies of hospitals and nursing homes. These policies have devastated family-centered care with dire consequences for patients and their families. Just as we are now rethinking school policies during the pandemic, it is time to reconsider family visiting policies in hospitals and nursing homes. The rapid spread of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities has been attributed to factors such as a highly vulnerable population, a lack of testing and personal protective equipment (PPE) and chronic underfunding of facilities and staff—who often work in multiple care facilities to make ends meet....
