Sarfaraz returned to the Test side for the first time in over four years after the management dropped Mohammad Rizwan following a poor series against England. The Karachi-born batter ended up as Pakistan’s crisis man throughout the series and was the highest run-getter from either side, bagging 335 runs in four innings at 83.75. At the post-match presentation, Ahmed said that batting in the fourth innings is never easy in any conditions....

For those who don’t remember, Tommy Pham slapped Joc Pederson during pregame warmups over a fantasy football dispute on May 28. Pham was suspended three games for his actions. Video of the slap can be seen below, posted to Twitter by ESPN. Following this incident, information about the fantasy league itself came pouring out, even the fact that Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels was the commissioner. The rule violation is still disputed....

My second online student of the day has a mom who is also a special education teacher, so she popped on screen and I asked her if she’d like to hear the student and I read a book together. As we began, I heard glass shatter and a huge crash. I live with my husband and our 17 month old son and they had left about 20 minutes before, but I have two dogs so I just thought that they had smashed through my china cabinet....

Oxlade-Chamberlain was redeployed to cover the right flank when Arsene Wenger re-jigged his side into a 3-4-3 formation last month and turned in a string of impressive performances. Why Chelsea’s revolution works The England international assisted Nacho Monreal’s equaliser in the 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City but his chances of taking part in the final were placed in jeopardy when he suffered a hamstring strain at Southampton two weeks ago....

But a big part of what I do is helping people to have more open, honest conversations around death. So more often than not, I bite the bullet and tell those that ask that I’m head of a funeral business. Some people completely shut off (understandably!), but most end up relishing the opportunity to get into a—sometimes gritty, sometimes emotional—conversation. Death is often something we don’t give people enough space to talk about, and I feel it’s really important that we change that....

Green made it into the third team, while reigning MVP Steph Curry and Kevin Durant snagged second-team honours, but Warriors team-mate and three-time All-Star Thompson was overlooked on Thursday. The snub did not go down well with Green, who said “I think it’s bulls***. “When you look around, what did we win? 67 games or something like that? And we probably just handed teams three or four. “You’re talking a possible 70-win season....

Allegri signs new Juventus deal The 24-year-old took the armband from Andrea Ranocchia prior to the 2015-16 season, when Roberto Mancini was head coach, but his impressive form on the pitch has been overshadowed by moments of controversy. Icardi continues to divide opinion among fans in Italy and in Argentina due to his marriage to Wanda Nara, the ex-wife of team-mate Maxi Lopez, while he was fined by Inter for comments made in his autobiography that caused outrage among some of the club’s supporters....

Before the game unraveled at the Naihati Stadium on Saturday, Francesc Bonet remained positive during the pre-match press conference. He highlighted that although the results haven’t gone their way, the team has played well.

‘Premier League is right for Ronaldo’ The Brazilian, who spent eight years with the Red Devils before leaving in 2015, netted the penultimate penalty in United’s famous victory in Moscow. United went 5-4 ahead after Anderson, who came on as a substitute in extra time, beat Petr Cech before Salomon Kalou replied for Chelsea. But United’s victory was soon wrapped up after Edwin van der Sar denied Nicolas Anelka on the back of Ryan Giggs successfully converting for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men....

Watford winger Gerard Deulofeu registered a stunning hat-trick in the Premier League over the weekend and was certain he was the star of the week until Barcelona Lionel Messi showed up to inspire his side to a 4-2 win over Sevilla. In case you didn’t know… Together with Troy Deeney, Deulofeu wreaked havoc at Cardiff Arms Park in a game that saw the Bluebirds succumb to a 5-1 defeat, giving Watford the much-needed three points to climb up to seventh place in the league....

Managing three of the biggest players in the world in the same team is certainly not an easy task for any manager. However, Galtier appears to be doing a good job with the way he has handled Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe this season, especially in terms of substitutions and rest. During an interview with RMC Sport, the PSG boss explained that got things sorted by calling the three attackers together and discussing the subject with them during the team’s pre-season tour in Japan last summer....

At the age of 18, I had left home in Southampton, England to attend college in Leicester. Before that, I had always been told by my parents that “money didn’t grow on trees,” and that they themselves were not “made of money.” So, I learned that I needed to work to have money and that I had to live within my means. I got jobs in retail and if I couldn’t afford something, no matter how much I wanted it, I just didn’t buy it....

My mom had colon cancer when I was young and I went with her to all her chemotherapy treatments from the age of four to six. My grandmother and great grandmother had also had colon cancer, we found out years down the road it stemmed from a hereditary genetic mutation called Lynch Syndrome, which leaves you prone to cancer, but we had no idea until I got sick. It came out of nowhere....

The Colonel was a military man and a great sportsman; his son John Barnes would become one of the best soccer players of his generation for England. Two men who knew Col. Barnes, George Fitch and William Maloney, wanted to create a Jamaican bobsled team and had told him that they needed athletes, and someone with good hand eye coordination to drive the sled. This was in August in 1987, the Winter Olympics were in February of 1988....

On Friday, two rally attendees—Rita Ward and an unidentified man—spoke to CNN in the parking lot of the Brownwood Hotel & Spa in the Villages, Florida, where hundreds gathered for the start of Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz’s “America First” tour. Asked by a reporter whether they “genuinely believe that the election was stolen,” both attendees said: “Yes.” “It is horrible. Is it horrible that we would even be in the situation to think that,” the unidentified man said....

Well, the Muslims are cheating the Americans in the same way and the Croats are cheating the Germans. So maybe this is not even deceit. There’s no unity in their leadership, either. [Serbia’s President Slobodan] Milosevic agrees with us, with our program, but his generals don’t always agree. But I believe that we will ultimately succeed in initiating a peace process. Talking to Helmut Kohl today, I told him my suggestion that we, the leaders of Russia, the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, should come to some neutral European country and invite all the Yugoslav leaders....

I am a doctor working in intensive care at Bradford Royal Infirmary, England, so in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak here I wanted to know how we could safely use and clean industrial masks on the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to save on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In the middle I was focused on using tight-fitting masks for breathing support to keep patients off ventilators. Now, as the first wave of the virus wanes in the U....

Saqlain Mushtaq shared his views on these two memorable knocks played by the Indian batting duo in an interaction on the YouTube show Cricket Baaz.
