England Are Headed In The Right Direction In Their Quest For Improvement

Yet if England are to contest equally against a Switzerland side inspired by the mercurial powers of Munich’s Xherdan Shaqiri in Basel on Monday, the urgent need for a drastic improvement in performances is indisputable. England were largely conservative, failing to put the speed and direct style of Raheem Sterling and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain into efficient effect. Positives for Hodgson Yet Hodgson emerged with a plethora of positives ahead of England’s most arduous fixture on their road to Paris....

England Coach Hodgson Says Subs Will Be Major Euro Factor

LENS, France (Reuters) - England coach Roy Hodgson, basking in a 2-1 victory over Wales on Thursday clinched by goals from two substitutes, said fringe players would be a major factor at Euro 2016. Gareth Bale put Wales in front before Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge replied, the latter in stoppage time, after both came on in the second half. Hodgson said it was hard to remember if he had made a better double substitution in his 40-year career....

England Crush India At Lord S To Take 2 0 Lead

Anderson and Broad had respective second-innings figures of 4-23 and 4-44, while Chris Woakes, who made a century with the bat, claimed the other two dismissals as India were dismissed for 130 in their second innings to fall to a heavy loss.

England Need To Fix Middle Order And Bowling Woes Ahead Of Mohali Test

Alastair Cook and Haseeb Hameed’s approach on the fourth day was not eye-catching, but more like Michael Atherton’s defiant resistance in the fourth innings at Johannesburg against the likes of Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock in 1995 on a testing track. Such a ploy never ensures entertainment, but guarantees saving Test matches. Cook and Hameed concentrated on leaving and blocking the ball to weather the storm, but their brief resistance was cut short at the last moment of the fourth day....

England Vs India 2018 3 Indian Players Who Might Be Axed For The Second Test

Sans Virat Kohli, the Indian team seems to be too weak to counter the English bowling line-up. If India wants to make a comeback in the series, batsmen would have to take the responsibility and bat around Kohli which will provide him the much-needed support out there in the middle. With Pujara being left out in the first Test, India lacked a batsman who could counter the swing and play as per the merit with minimal risks taken....

The hosts led 24-6 at half-time and piled on the points in the second, with the Brave Blossoms having simply no answer to England’s electric attack as the hosts crossed four more times, once via a penalty try, either side of Naoto Saito’s consolation.

Enter The Gungeon Will Release On Nintendo Switch This Year

Enter the Gungeon launched in April 2016 as a console exclusive on PlayStation 4, but also became available on PC. Its exclusivity deal must have been for a year, as it then came to Xbox One in April 2017. Bringing the game to the Nintendo Switch seems to be more of a development challenge than an exclusivity issue, though, so there’s also a chance that the problem relates to Nintendo’s licensing and approval process....

Environment Hitting A Handy Villain

Global warming is Exxon’s fault? The Stop Esso campaign, a coproduction of Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, doesn’t go that far. But it assigns Exxon part of the blame for the decision by U.S. President George W. Bush not to sign the 1997 Kyoto agreement on global warming, which called on industrialized nations to reduce their carbon-dioxide emissions to 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. Exxon has run advertisements criticizing the Kyoto accord, and the Stop Esso campaign says people connected to the company contributed more than $1 million to Bush’s Republicans during American elections last year....

The Nikolskaya street near the Kremlin, elaborately decorated with hanging lights, has been the main gathering point for fans in the Russian capital. A few dozen England fans were there on Tuesday afternoon, with those singing team songs heavily outnumbered by passers-by filming them on phones. Kevin Miles of the Football Supporters Federation expects between 5,000 and 7,000 fans for Wednesday’s semifinal between England and Croatia, but admits “a lot of people are doing it last minute, so it’s very difficult to put numbers on it....

England Fight Back After Finch Century

England, under pressure to reach the semi-finals following a stunning defeat to Sri Lanka, won the toss and elected to field, sensing the pitch would produce seam movement amid hot but overcast conditions. That suspicion proved correct as Chris Woakes in particular generated consistent swing but England struggled to find reward, and Finch survived an lbw review that ball tracking ruled umpire’s call. It was a reprieve that proved key as Finch and Warner warmed to their task and put on 123 for the first wicket - the latter having been booed by the home fans upon reaching his 50....
