Britain's Cameron Norrie reaches Wimbledon fourth round for first time

Steve Johnson at Wimbledon on Friday. The world number 12, who joined compatriot Heather Watson in the last 16, next faces another American in Tommy Paul. Norrie becomes the first British man in five years to reach the last 16 at Wimbledon, the previous being twice champion Andy Murray. It was a much easier outing than his previous match when he was taken to five sets by Spaniard Jaume Munar. "It feels really good, especially here at Wimbledon, at home. First time in the second week of a Grand Slam and I couldn't be happier especially with all my friends and family watching me," Norrie said on court. "It's good timing that they're here! I enjoyed that match today and it was a bit less stressful than the last round for my squad."

India vs England, 5th Test: Ravichandran Ashwin a victim of circumstances or conditions?

Ashwin finds himself out in the cold againThey say the more things change, the more they stay the same. One can apply that theory to the way Ravichandran Ashwin's spot becomes so dispensable every time India play in an away Test in SENA countries. Like the previous four Tests in the series against England in the UK, contested last year, he was left out again as India chose a four-pronged seam attack and the lone spinner's spot went to left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja. Former England captain Michael Vaughan tweeted his disgust in one sentence: "No @ashwinravi99!!!Ridiculous."

British GP FP 2: Carlos Sainz On Top At Silverstone As Max Verstappen Remains Confident

Carlos Sainz upstaged local hero Lewis Hamilton to top the times for Ferrari in Friday's second practice at the British Grand Prix, outpacing his Mercedes rival by just over a tenth of a second on a wet and windy day. The Spaniard, recording his first session-topping time since the Australian Grand Prix in April, clocked a best lap of one minute and 28.952 seconds to beat the seven-time champion, who appeared to have rediscovered his verve, by 0.163 seconds. It was an uplifting day for Sainz, who was frustrated two weeks ago in Canada where he was fastest in the race, but unable to pass Max Verstappen's Red Bull to win.
