The weather in England of course is notoriously fickle, but the good news is that no heavy downpour is forecast across the five days of the Test match. Scattered showers are expected over Days 1 to 3.
Eoin Morgan announced his retirement from international cricket earlier this week, also ending a seven-year stint as England's white-ball captain. Morgan, who took over as England captain back in 2015, led the team to their maiden 50-over World Cup title in 2019 on home soil. After the announcement, tributes have poured in from all corners for the 35-year-old, with several current and former cricketers congratulating Morgan on a glorious career. England pacer Jofra Archer also wished his former captain, but in a cheeky way.
Everyone at Manchester City knew about Phil Foden and his incredible potential in 2017, but he hadn't quite reached the national conversation just yet.
With Rohit Sharma unavailable, the Indian cricket team will rely a lot on seniors like Virat Kohli against England in the Edgbaston Test, starting on Friday. However, Kohli comes into the match on the back of an extended lean patch, which has seen him without any three-figure score since November, 2019. Former Pakistan captain went on to analyse what has gone wrong with Kohli in the last two and half years. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah will lead the Indian team in the rescheduled fifth Test with Rishabh Pant named his deputy.
West Indies, Bangladesh's cricketers are hoping the clouds of uncertainty ahead of their three-match T20 International series will blow away in time for Saturday's opening encounter at Windsor Park in Dominica. While it is expected the visitors will be much more competitive in both the T20Is and then the three-match One-Day International series, question marks over the availability of key players could have an unsettling effect on a squad in dire need of stability and direction.
India and England will square off in the rescheduled fifth Test starting from Friday at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Team India are currently leading the five-match series 2-1, having won Tests at Lord's and Oval last year. However, defeating the current England side would not be easy as under a different captain Ben Stokes, the Three Lions are playing a much more attacking brand of cricket. India would be led by Jasprit Bumrah after Rohit Sharma tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday morning once again, as per the BCCI.
Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra clinched his first top-3 finish at the prestigious Diamond League Meeting with a national record-shattering effort but missed the 90m mark by a whisker in a star-studded field on Thursday. The 24-year-old Chopra opened with a stunning throw of 89.94m, just 6cm shy of the 90m mark, the gold standard in the world of javelin throw and that effort eventually turned out to be his best as he finished second.
Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra produced yet another stellar display to finish second in the Diamond League meeting in Stockholm. This was Neeraj Chopra's first-ever top-three finish in a Diamond League meet. The Tokyo Olympics champion once again began on a bright note, throwing 89.94m in his very first attempt. The throw was agonisingly close to the 90m-mark, something no Indian javelin thrower has ever achieved. However, the Indian star still bettered his earlier national record of 89.30m, which he had achieved while finishing second in the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland, on June 14.
