England will attempt to reach the last four of a major tournament for the first time in 16 years on Sunday as they face Italy in a heavyweight Euro 2012 quarter-final collision. The burgeoning confidence within Roy Hodgson’s youthful squad is tempered by the knowledge that England have rarely progressed beyond the last eight of major tournaments, with three quarter-final exits in the past 10 years alone. But after winning Group D ahead of highly-rated France and extending their unbeaten run to five games, England head into Sunday’s test in Kiev with a mounting sense of belief that they can prolong their stay in the tournament....

Test series in England, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand can make or break careers of Indian players. The conditions are so alien when compared to the typical sub-continent wickets that it would act as a test of skill, discipline, grit, perseverance, and patience of the players. Thus, the players are guaranteed two outcomes: gain overnight fame or sink into oblivion. The England-India Test series witnessed quite a few top-notch performances by Indians....

A cagey opening was an omen of what was to come for England, with the usually marksman-esque Owen Farrell missing two very kickable penalties either side of a successful one, which equalised following Faf de Klerk’s opening three-pointer. The first half-hour saw very little sideways ball movement, with the damp Twickenham conditions not allowing for much free-flowing rugby. The Springboks soon had other ideas, though, as Damian Willemse started a blindside move that was finished off by Kurt-Lee Arendse, who turned Marcus Smith inside out before diving in at the corner for his seventh try in seven Tests for South Africa....

In the first England squad since former Test batsman Ed Smith took over as national selector, Somerset off-spinner Dom Bess was given a first call-up. But, after England’s tour series losses in Australia and New Zealand, top-order batsman James Vince was dropped after a run of low scores at Test level despite the Hampshire batsman making an unbeaten 201 against Somerset on Monday. Buttler, widely regarded as one of the most talented English batsmen of his generation, last played Test cricket when he batted down the order....

The finals draw has been relatively kind to the Three Lions – having been placed in Group G alongside Belgium, Panama and Tunisia – but recent struggles at major competitions suggest nothing can be taken for granted. Gareth Southgate, then, must piece together a winning formula which makes his side both entertaining and competitive – qualities which have been sadly lacking at times – and now he has finally revealed his 23-man squad ....

Every single member of the English playing XI contributed when it mattered the most, be it with the bat or with the ball, thereby laying down total dominance over the visiting unit. Talking about the Indian team, while their bowling did manage to rip through the English lineup on almost all occasions, it was their batting which made matters sour, especially in the first and fourth Tests which they lost by chasable margins....

Despite seeing the first day completely washed out due to persistent rain, skipper Virat Kohli somehow deemed fit to play only two specialist seamers even as conditions suggested otherwise. However, the debatable team selection turned out to be the least of their worries. In a manic second day’s play involving all of 35.2 overs, India virtually surrendered their fortunes by putting on a shockingly inept batting performance. The tourists’ first innings collapse effectively saw England trample all over them from thereon....

It will run until August 7, meaning it concludes just a week before the Premier League season begins.
