2nd ODI: Reece Topley's career-best 6/24 sends India hurtling to 100-run defeat
England's superb comeback, after being hammered in the opener, has helped them tie the score 1-1 and set up an exciting finale, with the ODI series decider to be played on July 17 at Old Trafford. AS IT HAPPENEDLike England saw their batting implode in the first ODI, India too suffered a horrible top-order collapse which saw them crash to 31 for four in the 12th over. Chasing 247, the visitors folded for 146 in 38. 5 overs. Making things difficult for India with his high point of release due to his tall frame, Topley sent back both India's openers, skipper Rohit Sharma (0 off 10 balls) and Shikhar Dhawan (9 off 26 balls), before getting the in-form Suryakumar (27 off 29 balls), Shami (23), Chahal (3) and Krishna (0). Brydon Carse dismissed Rishabh Pant (0, 5b) and David Willey took out an out-of-form former captain Virat Kohli (16, 25b, 3x4) as England's pacers breathed fire on a pitch which had a bit of extra bounce. Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya each scored 29 off 44 balls, but both perished to England's spinners. While Pandya holed out to deep mid-wicket off Moeen Ali, Jadeja played all over a simple delivery from Liam Livingstone.

Wimbledon: Devastated Taylor Fritz says loss against Rafael Nadal the toughest of his career
Struggling with an abdominal injury, the 22-times Grand Slam winner once appeared close to retiring mid-match but found the mental fortitude to beat Fritz 3-6, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (10-4), whipping the adoring crowd into a joyous frenzy but leaving his opponent emotionally crushed. "(This) probably hurts more than any loss I've ever had," Fritz said after the match, his first-ever Grand Slam quarter-final.
