Lyon had been unable to take part in the second Test since suffering what looks certain to be a series-ending calf injury while fielding on Thursday. But the off-spinner made a remarkable cameo appearance towards the conclusion of Australia's second innings. With Australia desperate to set England as challenging a target as possible, Lyon agreed to effectively bat on one leg. Unable to walk properly, Lyon hopped down the Pavilion steps before slowly limping onto the pitch. The 35-year-old's gutsy... Читать дальше...

It appeared England opener Ben Duckett had fallen for 50 when he miscued Cameron Green to fine leg, where Starc held a low catch only to ground the ball while still sliding on the turf. Under cricket's laws, a catch is only completed when the fielder has "complete control over the ball and his/her own movement" and cannot touch the ground before then if a dismissal is to be completed. The on-field umpires referred the decision to TV official Marais Erasmus, with the experienced South African ruling in Duckett's favour... Читать дальше...

Twitter is limiting how many tweets per day various accounts can read, to discourage "extreme levels" of data scraping and system manipulation, Executive Chair Elon Musk said in a post on the social media platform on Saturday.

The demonstrators have kept up the pressure with weekly rallies against Netanyahu, who returned to power last December at the head of a coalition with ultra-Orthodox Jewish and extreme-right parties. As they have done every Saturday for months, protesters thronged the heart of Israel's commercial capital Tel Aviv to demonstrate against the government's judicial overhaul proposals. Opponents of the plan believe it could open the way to more authoritarian government. In March, as the mass protests were backed by sweeping industrial action... Читать дальше...

England were 114-4 at stumps on the fourth day, still needing a further 257 runs to reach a target of 371. If achieved, that would be England's second-highest run-chase to win a Test behind their 378 against India at Edgbaston last year. Left-handed opener Duckett, who made 98 in the first innings, was 50 not out and captain Ben Stokes unbeaten on 29, with England looking to level the five-match series at 1-1. Starc, recalled following Australia's thrilling two-wicket win in last week's first Test at Edgbaston, reduced England to 13-2. Читать дальше...

Dressel, who pulled out of last year's World Championships in Budapest citing unspecified medical concerns and took an extended break from training, finished tied for 22nd in the 50m freestyle heats at the US championships in Indianapolis, 1.07sec behind pace-setter Ryan Held. Dressel's coach, Anthony Nesty, said the swimmer's results were about what they expected after his time off and, most importantly, he's enjoying the sport again. "Mentally, he's right where he needs to be," Nesty said in comments reported by Swimming World magazine. Читать дальше...

The 60-year-old Canadian spent 17 seasons as an NHL coach, leading the Anaheim Ducks to the Stanley Cup final in 2003 in his first season behind the bench. Babcock compiled 700 wins, 12th-most in NHL history, in 1,301 games over two years with Anaheim, 10 with Detroit and just over four seasons with Toronto before being fired in November 2019 after a start of 9-10 with four overtime losses. He spent the past two seasons as a volunteer coach at the University of Saskatchewan before resigning last August. Читать дальше...

They addressed a meeting outside Paris of the People's Mujahedin (MEK) group outlawed by Tehran, as thousands of supporters of the group staged a rally in the centre of the French capital that had initially been banned by the police. The MEK and its political wing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) are far from having universal support among the Iranian diaspora but are backed by several high-profile former US and European officials. Pence, vice president under Donald Trump who is... Читать дальше...

He was "everything" to his mother, a quiet boy in his Paris neighbourhood, struck down by a policeman's bullet that has sparked riots and soul searching in a country where police have long faced accusations of singling out minorities.

The killing of 17-year-old Nahel M. during a police traffic stop this week was a depressingly familiar addition to France’s list of police brutality cases. But when the UN called on the government to address racial discrimination in its police force, the official reaction was just as familiar and depressing for France’s minorities.

Fabregas won the 2010 World Cup and two European Championships with Spain, two Premier League titles with Chelsea and La Liga with Barcelona. "It is with great sadness that the time has come for me to hang up my playing boots," Fabregas wrote on social media. "It has been a journey that I'll never forget," he added. "From my first days at Barca, Arsenal, Barca again, Chelsea, Monaco and Como, I will treasure them all. "I lived experiences that I never thought in a million years I would even... Читать дальше...

The BBC and Sky Sports reported that the English giants have told Leipzig they will trigger the 22-year-old's 70-million-euro (£60 million, $76 million) release clause. Szoboszlai scored 20 goals in 91 games for Leipzig since joining the German side from RB Salzburg in January 2021. He has been pictured arriving in the UK to undergo his medical with Liverpool.

Winks joined from Tottenham for a reported fee of £10 million ($13 million) after making 203 appearances over the past nine years for his boyhood club. The 27-year-old also won 10 England caps, but had fallen down the pecking order at Spurs and spent last season on loan at Sampdoria as they were relegated from Serie A.

Six former Yorkshire players found guilty of using racist language in the Rafiq case were last month fined by the Cricket Discipline Commission. Of the more... Читать дальше...

The American appeared to be cruising towards her third grass court title as she raced through the first set and led 4-1 in the second. Kasatkina was battling the blustery conditions and a series of net cords that went in Keys' favour but found her stride to take five of the next six games. However, the Russian, who will enter the world's top 10 next week, was broken when serving to take the second set. Instead a marathon tie-break ensued as Kasatkina again battled back from 5-2 down to have four set points. Читать дальше...

The 43-year-old American, a seven-time major winner, kicks off her 24th Wimbledon on Monday, 26 years after her debut at the All England Club. Brushing aside questions over whether she intends to follow younger sister Serena into retirement, Venus insists that even playing at 50 is not out of the question. "It's never been done before so if there is anyone who could do it, it would be me," said the five-time Wimbledon champion. Martina Navratilova won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title with India's Leander Paes in 2003 at the age of 46. Читать дальше...

The 29-year-old 16-times capped Haouas was sentenced to 18 months in prison -- nine of them suspended -- on Friday for aggravated assault. It was the second custodial sentence he had received in two months -- he was handed a one year prison term last month for hitting his wife. The latter offence had prompted Clermont to refuse to honour his contract he had signed after leaving Montpellier. Although a tribunal found in Haouas's favour on Monday that Clermont had to stand by the contract -- which... Читать дальше...
