Nottinghamshire put themselves in a position to dictate the terms of the final day as openers Ben Slater and Haseeb Hameed built on a small first-innings lead to leave their side 210 in front with nine wickets in hand at the close of day three of their LV= Insurance County Championship match against Kent.The pair shared a partnership of 131 – Nottingham’s best this season for the first wicket – before Hameed was out for 45 six overs before the close. Slater’s unbeaten 87 leaves him 13 runs away from a second hundred in the match, with Will Young on 32 from just 19 balls as Nottinghamshire finished on 176 for one.Earlier, although there were solid performances from Harry Finch (73) and Joey Evison (49), Kent ultimately squandered what looked to be a good position in reply to Nottinghamshire’s first-innings 350 by losing their last five wickets for 23 to be 316 all out.Leg-spinner Calvin Harrison finished with a career-best four for 28 – albeit in only his seventh first-class match – and Brett Hutton kept his nose in front as Division One’s leading wicket-taker with three for 76, despite Jamie Porter taking 10 in the match for Essex against Hampshire.Kent, whose relegation worries have increased with Middlesex’s win at Edgbaston, had been well placed at 102 for two when rain forced them off at tea on Wednesday, but their morning began badly when Ben Geddes, the loanee from Surrey who had played well for his 36, was out in the second over, caught by Harrison at second slip chasing a widish ball from Hutton that found some extra bounce.A recovery followed. After hours of rain through the previous evening, Nottinghamshire might have anticipated a period of renewed liveliness from a pitch that had given the seamers plenty of encouragement over the first two days but neither Hutton nor Dane Paterson could control the scoreboard in their opening spells.Finch and Jack Leaning settled in nicely and it took a strange dismissal shortly before lunch to deny the fourth-wicket pair a substantial partnership.It came after Harrison entered the attack for the first time and a disbelieving Leaning was out to his second ball, getting a thin edge that then freakishly ballooned high into the air, off wicketkeeper Tom Moores’s right pad. It flew over the head of Mullaney at slip but the Nottinghamshire skipper had time to catch it on its way down.Nonetheless, breakthroughs were rare as Kent, for all their injury woes, steadily eroded the advantage Nottinghamshire had seemed to have established with what looked like a good score on a relatively hazardous pitch.Kent’s assessment at Wednesday’s close that 350 might be a par score had seemed like wishful thinking but Nottinghamshire, missing Luke Fletcher from their attack after he limped off the field on day two, found it difficult to create many opportunities.Alex Blake, in his first red-ball innings for four years, fell to the fifth delivery with the second new ball as Hutton raised his tally for the season to 48 – his best return in a first-class season – but as Finch and Evison added 75 in 18 overs it seemed Kent’s confidence had not been misplaced after all.Yet after Paterson, having bowled 17 unsuccessful overs from the pavilion end, switched to the Radcliffe Road end and Harrison returned for a second spell, everything changed rapidly.First Finch, who had gone past fifty for the third time in as many matches since Kent’s injury crisis opened up a place in the senior side, made a rare misjudgement and paid the price, offering no shot as Paterson brought one back to clip his off stump.The South African followed up by bowling Evison in his next over with another nip-backer, good enough to do the job even though Evison did attempt to keep it out.Harrison then coaxed a miscue to deep extra cover from Matt Quinn and from 293 for five, Kent were suddenly 308 for eight. A couple of overs more and they were all out and conceding a 34-run deficit, the leg-spinner finishing the innings with two in two balls as Arshdeep holed out to deep midwicket and Arafat Bhuiyan offered him a rigid front pad.By the evening, largely played out in sunshine, the pitch looked to have settled down and Slater and Hameed exposed the limitations of the Kent attack, which lacks a front-line spinner, proceeding largely untroubled, certainly in terms of chances offered, through almost 35 overs before Hameed aimed an injudicious slash at a shortish wide delivery from Arshdeep Singh and was caught behind.Kent’s over-rate was pedestrian and could yet do them damage at a stage in the season when bonus points become critical. They have a chance to improve things on day four but as things stand they are at minus three. If that were to translate to points docked, even a draw here would leave them in the relegation places.

India’s displeasure with the umpiring extended to their captain smashing the stumps with her bat after being given out

Mohammad Isam22-Jul-2023The final, deciding Women’s ODI between Bangladesh and India should have been about the exciting finish, since it ended in a tie, but instead, Harmanpreet Kaur’s conduct – she smashed the stumps after being given out, and later called the umpiring “pathetic” – has become the talking point.While Smriti Mandhana defended her captain at the post-match press conference, Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana didn’t hold back, saying Harmanpreet “could have shown better manners”.In the 34th over of India’s chase of 226, Harmanpreet was given out caught at slip off Nahida Akter while attempting a sweep. Did it go off the pads, or was there a bit of glove or bat on the way? Harmanpreet hit the stumps with her bat after being given out, and then had words for the umpires before walking off, giving a thumbs-up to the crowd on her way. Initially, it looked like Harmanpreet was unhappy as she assumed it was a lbw decision, but the umpire made the decision after the catch was completed.Related

Yastika Bhatia had earlier protested the lbw decision against her in the fifth over, standing her ground and staring back at the umpire after being given out. Later, in the final over, after Jemimah Rodrigues’ single had tied the scores, Meghna Singh played away from her body to Marufa Akter’s next delivery, and was given out caught behind.Curiously, Meghna appeared to be walking towards the dressing room initially, even as the Bangladesh players celebrated around her, but then stopped and started speaking to the umpire.For the Harmanpreet and Meghna dismissals, the umpire at the bowler’s end was the experienced Tanvir Ahmed, while for the Yastika wicket, it was Muhammad Kamruzzaman.”A lot of learning from this game,” Harmanpreet said at the presentation ceremony. “Even apart from the cricket, the type of umpiring that was happening there, we were very surprised. The next time whenever we are coming to Bangladesh, we’ll have to make sure we have to deal with this kind of umpiring and accordingly, we’ll have to prepare ourselves.”Bangladesh, batting first after winning the toss, rode on Fargana Hoque’s 107 to score 225 for 4. In the chase, when Harmanpreet was dismissed, India were 160 for 4 in 33.4 overs, and well placed to win. But they collapsed to 225 all out.

“Maybe we can have a neutral-umpiring system from maybe next time so that we don’t sit here having these discussions and maybe we can focus more on cricket and cricket-oriented questions”Smriti Mandhana

“They [Bangladesh] batted really well, batted according to the situation. They were taking those singles which were very crucial,” Harmanpreet said. “In between, we leaked a few runs but when we were batting, we controlled the game very well. But, as I mentioned earlier, some pathetic umpiring was done, and we are really disappointed about some decisions given by the umpires.”ESPNcricinfo understands that when the end-of-series photograph with both sets of players was being taken, Harmanpreet shouted “bring the umpires too”, suggesting they were a part of the Bangladesh team. Nigar, it is understood, spoke about it to BCB officials, and took her players back to the dressing room soon after.”It is totally her problem. I have nothing to do with it,” Nigar said in the press conference when asked about the incident. “As a player, she could have shown better manners. I can’t tell you what happened, but it didn’t feel right to be there [for the photograph] with my team. It wasn’t the right environment. That’s why we went back. Cricket is a game of discipline and respect.”About the umpiring, Nigar said, “The umpires wouldn’t give her out if she wasn’t out. We had umpires from men’s international cricket, so they were good umpires. What are they [India] going to say about the caught or run-out dismissals [of which there were six excluding the Harmanpreet and Meghna wickets]? We have respected their decisions. The umpire’s decision is the final decision, whether I like it or not. Why didn’t we behave in that way [like the India players]?”Possibly the moment when Harmanpreet Kaur asked for the umpires to be brought for the photograph as well•BCBAt the press conference, Mandhana had said that Harmanpreet was caught in the heat of the moment as she couldn’t accept the umpire’s decision. “When you play for India, you want to win the match, and it happens in the heat of the moment,” Mandhana said. “I think she [Harmanpreet] wasn’t really happy with the decision given and she felt she wasn’t out. That is why that [reaction] came about. It is just the heat of the moment and nothing much.”What happened in the middle is a part and parcel of the game. We’ve seen these incidents so much in the past as well. When you really want that ‘W’ on the board for India, these things happen.”Mandhana did, however, call on the ICC to appoint neutral umpires in the future.”In any match, sometimes it happens that you are really not happy with the [decisions]. Especially when there is no DRS in a match in a series of this kind, we kind of expect a little better level of umpiring in terms of some decisions,” she said. “It was very evident that there was not even a second thought given when the ball was hitting the pad when our batters were batting. There was not even one second of thought given before the finger went up.”I am sure the ICC, BCB and BCCI will have more of a discussion on that and maybe we can have a neutral-umpiring system from maybe next time so that we don’t sit here having these discussions and maybe we can focus more on cricket and cricket-oriented questions.”Separately, Harmanpreet also criticised the BCB for not inviting the Indian high commissioner to Bangladesh, Pranay Kumar Verma, for the presentation ceremony even though he was present at the ground. “Our high commissioner from India is also there – I hope you could have also invited him here, but that’s also fine.”

Gyokeres was offered to MadridAlonso wants to sign a new strikerWhy Madrid snubbed Gyokeres now revealedFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

A report from has revealed that Madrid were offered the opportunity to sign Gyokeres from Sporting CP this summer. Madrid, however, rejected the offer to sign the Swede and the reasons for the same have now been explained.

Madrid appointed Xabi Alonso as their new head coach at the end of May, and the club have already announced the signings of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono. More arrivals are likely to follow, as the La Liga giants are determined to sign Alvaro Carreras from Benfica after the Club World Cup. Alonso also wants to bring in another striker, a 'Joselu-style' player to provide an aerial threat and physical presence in the box, with Osasuna's Ante Budimir said to be on Madrid's radar.

DID YOU KNOW?

Among the players to have been offered to Madrid is Sporting CP's Gyokeres, who is liked by the club. However, the Merengues have opted against entertaining the idea of signing him due to the potential costs involved and also the fact that he won't be happy with a secondary role under Alonso. Gyokeres is currently at war with Sporting CP president Federico Varandas, who has reportedly broken his word of allowing the striker to leave for a fee of €60 million (£51m/$69m). Arsenal and Manchester United have been heavily linked with the 27-year-old, but they have shelved their interest in signing him after Sporting raised his asking price.

AFPWHAT NEXT FOR VIKTOR GYOKERES?

Gyokeres and Sporting are amidst a brutal fallout, which has potentially jeopardised the forward's departure to one of Europe's elite clubs this summer. The Gunners have already reignited their pursuit of Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins after moving away from Gyokeres. The Swedish international's future destination remains far from clear, but there's hope that his situation will clear up in the coming weeks.

  The departure of long-serving defender Jonathan Tah to Bayern Munich has created a significant void at the heart of Leverkusen’s defence. Additionally, Mario Hermoso’s temporary spell has concluded with no signs of a return, while Odilon Kossounou, who spent the previous season on loan at Atalanta, is unlikely to be part of Leverkusen’s plans moving forward due to a purchase clause in his contract with the Italian club.

  According to Liverpool value Quansah at over £40 million ($54.2m) and any potential move for the defender would be handled separately from the Wirtz negotiations. Despite making 25 appearances across all competitions, he started only five Premier League games throughout the season, a disappointing return for a player with aspirations of cementing a regular place.

  Hailing from Warrington, just outside Liverpool, Quansah is one of the standout products from the club’s academy in recent years. He had a breakthrough 2023-24 season, even managing to edge out Ibrahima Konate for a starting role alongside Virgil van Dijk toward the latter stages of the campaign.

There is the World Cup looming for the visitors, while the hosts will be aiming for their first ODI series win against India since 2006

“Hope India bring back Kohli and Rohit for the decider”

Big pictureAfter India’s loss in the second ODI, their head coach Rahul Dravid said: “With the Asia Cup and World Cup coming up, we have to look at the bigger picture. We cannot get worried about every single game and every single series. If we do that, it will be a mistake.”If India walk the talk, Tuesday’s series decider could be another rest day for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Even in the first ODI, Rohit batted at No. 7 and Kohli never came out.Ishan Kishan has made good use of these World Cup auditions, scoring a fifty in each ODI. However, two other candidates – Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson – have failed to impress. Suryakumar got starts in both games but couldn’t convert them into something substantial. Samson played only the second match and scored 9. But Tuesday could present them with another opportunity.Related

West Indies will not be going to the World Cup, but they have a chance to register a rare ODI series win against India in recent times. Since 2006, the two teams have played 12 bilateral ODI series against each other with India winning every time.Batters from both sides – barring Kishan and Shai Hope – found it difficult to score in Bridgetown as the pitch helped fast bowlers and spinners alike. Hope said after the first ODI that a 9.30am start was the main reason behind that. It will be another 9.30am start in Tarouba, where the third ODI will be held, and while the pitch may not be as conducive for seamers, spinners could once again prove to be difficult to score off.Form guideWest Indies WLLWL (last five completed ODIs, most recent first)

“Forget about the past, look ahead to better days”

In the spotlightUntil the start of 2023, Shai Hope was primarily a top-order batter who doubled up as an anchor. He averaged 48.95 with a strike rate of 74.68. But since then, despite moving down to the order, he has struck at an average of 69.66 and a strike rate of 96.75. The main contributing factor towards that elevated strike rate is his improved six-hitting skills. He is now hitting a six every 33 balls as opposed to one every 93 balls prior to that. With scores of 43 and 63 not out so far in the series, he will once again be a key batter for West Indies.Few can do what Suryakumar Yadav does in T20 cricket, but he is finding it difficult to adjust to the rhythm of the 50-over game. While he has a strike rate of over 100 in ODIs, he has managed just 476 runs in 23 innings, at an average of 23.80. After the second ODI, coach Dravid said that the team management wanted to give him as many opportunities as they can. With the ODI World Cup roughly two months away, Suryakumar better grab these chances soon.Team newsAfter a win in the second ODI, West Indies are unlikely to make any changes.West Indies (probable): 1 Brandon King, 2 Kyle Mayers, 3 Alick Athanaze, 4 Shai Hope (capt & wk), 5 Shimron Hetmyer, 6 Keacy Carty, 7 Romario Shepherd, 8 Yannic Cariah, 9 Alzarri Joseph, 10 Gudakesh Motie, 11 Jayden SealesIndia, too, could field an unchanged XI, resting Rohit and Kohli again.India (probable): 1 Ishan Kishan (wk), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Sanju Samson, 4 Hardik Pandya (capt), 5 Suryakumar Yadav, 6 Axar Patel, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Shardul Thakur, 9 Kuldeep Yadav, 10 Umran Malik, 11 Mukesh Kumar3:05

“Our last chance to try different combinations”

Pitch and conditionsThis will be the first ODI at the Brian Lara Stadium. The venue has hosted only one men’s international game to date: a T20I between West Indies and India last year. In 23 List A matches there, teams batting first have breached 250 only seven times. On Tuesday, the weather is expected to be cloudy but the rain should stay away.Stats and trivia Hope is 65 away from 5000 ODI runs. If he gets there on Tuesday, in his 113th innings, he will be the third fastest to the mark behind Babar Azam and Hashim Amla. If Kohli plays and scores 102, he will become the fifth batter to reach the 13,000 mark in ODIs. Ravindra Jadeja needs six wickets to become the seventh Indian to 200 ODI wickets, and the first Indian since Kapil Dev (3783 runs and 253 wickets) to complete the double of 2000 runs and 200 wickets. Kyle Mayers is only the third West Indies player to open both batting and bowling in the same ODI. Phil Simmons and Chris Gayle are the other two.

Maresca reveals expectations of PalmerWas 'bored' in Conference League finalHelped Chelsea beat LAFCFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Chelsea boss Maresca says Palmer must show his initiative more often after the England international complained he was "sick of going backwards and sideways" during the Conference League final victory over Real Betis last month. The Blues were trailing the La Liga outfit before Palmer turned the game on its head with two assists as they eventually ran out 4-1 winners.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Palmer seemed to take his manager's notes to heart as he produced a creative display in Chelsea's 2-0 win over LAFC in the Club World Cup. He registered no goal involvements, with Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez instead getting on the scoresheet, but was always looking forward as he played seven passes into the final third and created a chance.

WHAT MARESCA SAID

Speaking after the victory, Maresca said: "I had a conversation with Cole and I said to him that I really like the way he was in terms of taking responsibility, taking the initiative on the ball. He was trying even on our side to receive the ball, trying to go one versus one against the player.

"This is the Cole that we expect. After the Conference League final, he said that he was quite bored receiving the ball and so he decided to do something different. The day after that interview I said to him, 'But you can do that since the first minute, why are you waiting so long? Why don't you do the same after one minute?'

"[Against LAFC], he was exactly doing what we asked him to do. We are happy when he does that because I said many times that Cole is our best player, he is a top player and hopefully he can continue to do the right things."

Glamorgan’s slim promotion hopes were further diminished as Yorkshire took control on day one of their LV= Division 2 County Championship clash at Sophia Gardens.After defeat at Worcester last week, the Welsh county have to win their penultimate match with a full set of bonus points and hope that other results go their way if they are to remain in the promotion picture.But that looks unlikely after Yorkshire closed on 330 for 3 at stumps with captain Shan Masood unbeaten on 113 and Finlay Bean hitting 11 fours on his way to 93 on a slow pitch that offered little assistance for the bowling side.The White Rose county, who beat Derbyshire at Scarborough last time out, are aiming for a second successive victory as they look to climb off the bottom of the table.The two sides drew at Headingley in May, with Yorkshire clinging on at nine down to frustrate the Welsh county.Adam Lyth hit 174 in that second innings, and, after a delayed start in Cardiff due to rain, he put on 98 for the opening wicket with Bean after Yorkshire won the toss and elected to bat first.Bean survived an lbw appeal from James Harris on 21, but there were few other scares for the visiting side as they made fairly rapid progress in the curtailed first session to walk off on 86 for 0 after 22 overs at lunch with Lyth on 45 and Bean 37.It was a seventh successive half-century stand for the opening pair in Division Two, but the partnership didn’t last long after the interval. Jamie McIlroy was unsuccessful in his appeal for lbw against Lyth in the first over after lunch, but he didn’t have to wait long for the breakthrough as Lyth chopped on and departed after hitting six fours in his 49 to leave Yorkshire on 98 for 1 in the 25th over.Yorkshire didn’t let that unfortunate dismissal disrupt their flow as Masood joined Bean in the middle and he picked up the baton from Lyth in fine style as he raced to his half-century in just 58 balls.Bean proceeded in a slightly more sedate fashion. He brought up the 200 in the 45th over and progressed to 88 from 117 balls as Yorkshire cruised to 217 for 1 at tea.The 21-year-old was denied a century as he was caught at slip by Colin Ingram off the bowling of Glamorgan skipper Kiran Carlson on 93 in the third over after tea, ending a stand of 127 with Masood.James Wharton didn’t last long as he was given out lbw for 3, with McIlroy picking up his second wicket of a frustrating day and earning his side their first bowling point.George Hill came in at No. 5 and played a supporting role as Masood closed in on his first century for Yorkshire.The pair secured a first batting point at 253 for 3 in the 59th over, before Masood made it to three figures off 132 balls in the 69th over.And Hill completed his half-century off 76 balls just before 6pm, having danced down the pitch to attack Carlson’s bowling on several occasions, to cap a satisfying day for the visiting side.

Unbeaten 63 rescues Derbyshire after Northants strike early blows in low run-chase

ECB Reporters Network20-Aug-2023Matt Lamb hit a courageous, unbeaten 63 to help Derbyshire come from behind to seal a nail-biting four-wicket victory over Northamptonshire Steelbacks in this Metro Bank One-Day Cup clash at Wantage Road.Battling an injured back, Lamb faced 82 balls as Derbyshire struggled to force the pace on an increasingly sluggish pitch with just four boundaries coming in the first 37 overs of the chase.After three wickets fell in 10 overs, Lamb combined with Brooke Guest in a stand of 77 in 18.2 overs. For most of that time, the pair looked comfortable, but were unable to locate the boundary ropes.Lamb though began to accelerate with the Falcons needing 59 off the last 10 overs and reduced the target further to 26 from the last 30 balls. Joined by a proactive Anuj Dal (20) the pair took the visitors to within 21 of their target.With Luke Procter conceding just one run off the 46th and Dal caught off Ben Sanderson with 20 balls remaining, the momentum shifted slightly back towards Northamptonshire.Alex Thomson though hit Taylor down the ground for four, leaving Derbyshire needing 10 off the last two overs. Lamb and Thomson made sure the final over was not needed as both smashed Sanderson for four.Defeat ends Northamptonshire’s hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of this year’s tournament.
