The Virat Kohli and co. would have expected to have their full-strength squad for selection for the second Test but in all likelihood, not every single player will be available for selection for the Test that gets underway on August 9. According to several reports, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will need more time to regain 100 per cent fitness and is unlikely to feature in the second Test match....
Kohli stroked his way to a 23rd Test century and imposed India’s dominance over a lackluster England outfit in Nottingham. Even though the overhead conditions remained slightly murky throughout the day, the situation of the game meant that the visiting batsmen had the hosts under their mercy.

That the target seemed within reach was after Morne Morkel and Keshav Maharaj triggered a collapse in England’s second innings. The hosts lost their way from 138/1 to 182/8 but were aided by the huge first innings lead they had. Even as South Africa came back strongly into the game, the cushion provided by that lead was enough for England to not panic. South Africa needed their top order to fight to stay alive but none of their batsmen showed the temperament or willingness to negotiate a sharp looking England bowling attack....
The USA thought they had the 2-2 equalizer on a 37th-minute goal by Trinity Rodman, but the officials disallowed the tally after a VAR check. The Video Assistant Referee spotted an offside on Sophia Smith that was not obvious from the replays. England had taken an early lead on a lightning quick attacking move that saw Beth Mead feed Lauren Hemp in the box. The Americans tied it at 1-1 later in the first half when they forced a turnover near the England box and Smith converted expertly....
Gareth Southgate’s call to start Saka ahead of Manchester City’s Phil Foden was vindicated, while his decision to stick with stalwarts Harry Maguire and Raheem Sterling despite their poor club form also paid dividends. Sterling made it 3-0 at halftime after Jude Bellingham headed his maiden international goal and Saka lashed into the top corner from Maguire’s knockdown. Mehdi Taremi got Iran on the scoresheet midway through the second half and netted a penalty deep into stoppage time, but that was scant consolation as further strikes from Saka and substitutes Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish once again demonstrated the taste Southgate’s England have for tournament football....
The groups say the proposed mine by multinational Pebble Limited Partnership would cause serious damage to Alaska’s Bristol Bay watershed, home to millions of fish. The area is said to support a population of 30 to 60 million salmon, and an industry worth $1.5 billion in annual revenue and 14,000 jobs. Proponents of the mine largely dispute the claims of environmentalists and argue that the mine would create more jobs in the area....
This article reviews the most common causes and risk factors for developing an ependymoma. Common Causes Ependymoma is a type of glioma that grows from glial cells in the brain or spine. They are usually genetic. Under normal circumstances, glial cells support and provide stability for neurons throughout the CNS. They form from dysfunctional glial cells that cause other cells in the CNS to grow more quickly than usual, causing a tumor to form....
The cosmetic that the pack gives away is a guaranteed skin, some cosmetics that are part of the skin’s set, and the Photonic Legacy Set pickaxe or one of its stages. These cosmetic items are time-limited just like Battle Pass items so once a new month starts and the previous month’s Crew Pack becomes inaccessible, it’ll never be available again.

The company behind Fortnite complained to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission that Apple’s stranglehold grip on the App Store represents “unrestrained market power,” and is forcing the prices of apps to stay artificially high. The Australian Financial Review reported on the news. Epic: Apple Is a Monopoly Epic goes on to note that Apple’s App Store commission, which is 30% for larger app developers, should be in the order of single digits....

This weekend, Soulja Boy - who’s full name is DeAndre Cortez Way - said that his next console would support Fortnite. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for this claim to be refuted by Epic Games. It looks like Way promised consumers Fortnite support before even consulting Epic Games, as a simple question directed to Epic Games PR Nick Chester shot down what may be perhaps the world’s laziest lie:...

In Sound Mind is the Epic Games Store free game from now until Thursday, March 24 at 10:00am CT, at which point it too will be replaced. As usual, the Epic Games Store has announced next week’s free game in advance, confirming that the next Epic Games Store free game is Demon’s Tilt, a title that originally released for the launcher in May of 2021. Demon’s Tilt hasn’t even been available on the Epic Games Store for a year yet, which should make it one of the more appealing Epic Games Store free games....
Epic Games Store’s free game selection has been on a hot streak, and these lesser-known titles no doubt play a role in that. It’s always nice to find a hidden gem that flew beneath the radar and falling in love with that game. While some may consider April 28’s game selection to be not as good as past weeks, given that neither are them are particularly well-known, fans should still be sure to check them out....
Raheem Sterling was the star of the show as he netted his first England hat-trick and won a penalty, which was converted by the ever-dependable Harry Kane. A late own goal by Tomas Kalas capped off a torrid night for the Czech Republic while it added a gloss to the scoreline for England. Now let us discuss 5 talking points from the match: #1 Early possession pays off As expected, the early stages of the game saw England dominate possession as they tried to open up a stern looking Czech Republic team....
After making his County Championship debut in 2011, Root helped lead Yorkshire to back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015 – captaining the side to the first of those crowns. Since 2012 he has split his time between Yorkshire and England, Root accumulating 77 Test appearances after making his debut against India in Nagpur, scoring 6,508 runs. The 27-year-old – who replaced Alastair Cook as Test captain in 2017 – has also represented England 149 times in limited-overs internationals....
To be appointed skipper is to be acknowledged as a leader and a person capable of summoning up the spirit in those around you to go chasing collective goals. At this summer’s World Cup finals in Russia, 32 men are taking to the field looking to provide the inspiration and guidance to those around them in an attempt to deliver the grandest of prizes. In the case of England, a new era will be opened, with Tottenham striker Harry Kane having been charged with the task of following in some illustrious footsteps and making the Three Lions roar once more....

England’s World Cup squad for 2019 is pretty well-known, and the focus has been naturally on the batsmen. Morgan, Root and Buttler have managed to capture the imagination of the English public. There has been a lot of talk around Ben Stokes and Sam Curran, but it is based on the merits they bring in as all-rounders. There has hardly been any mention of Mark Wood or David Willey. Yet the paradox is, almost every major cricketing nation and most surprisingly even India, are concentrating on their bowling recruits....
Rose confirmed prior to the tournament that he had advised his family to stay at home, while also opening up on his own issues following a serious injury suffered in 2016-17. However, the welcome England fans and players have received in Russia has surprised Rose, who is now ready to go back on his original decision. “It depends if I’m playing but I’d definitely be open now to having my family out here,” the Tottenham man said....
