Jake Daniels this week became the first active professional footballer in the UK to come out as gay since Justin Fashanu in 1990. At 17 years old he said the experience made him feel ‘free’ and ‘confident’.

There are certain moments in the game of cricket that tend to surprise even the most experienced of players who have themselves seen almost everything the sport has to offer. One such instance occurred when veteran Nottinghamshire player Luke Fletcher surprised even himself with a direct throw at the stumps which effected a crucial run out off Stuart Broad's bowling. The batter who got run out was Middlesex's Josh De Caires. The batter at the other end - Mark Stoneman - had played five consecutive dot balls as Stuart Broad created pressure. So, when Stoneman sensed an opportunity to take a single he went for it as he nudged a delivery directed on his pads on the leg-side inside the circle. However, the 33-year-old Luke defied the age barrier and pounced on the ball to inflict an epic run out.

Australian batter Peter Handscomb has opened up on his mental health struggles during his poor outings with the bat. Handscomb, who had made his Test debut in 2016 against South Africa in Adelaide, started his career at an average of 99.75 in his first four Tests, but was later dropped from the Australian team following a poor run of form in the longest format of the the game. Eyeing a return to the side following a 697-run season in the Sheffield Shield, Handscomb said that he received constant abuse on Facebook and Twitter for his batting technique, suggesting that it was hard to "not take that to heart."
Indian international Cheteshwar Pujara continued with his impeccable touch with the bat in the County Championship as he powered his way to his fourth 100+ score of the season to finish unbeaten on 170 runs in a Division Two game between Sussex and Middlesex at the Hove. Pujara, who already has two double-hundreds to his name this season, played some extravagant strokes in his classy innings. In the process, he also faced pace sensation from Pakistan Shaheen Afridi, who has himself been quite prolific for Middlesex in the ongoing County Championships so far.
