India are defeated and deflated now. But skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said only "time will tell" how the crushing loss at Edgbaston impacts the side in the long run. India let slip a golden opportunity to record their first series win in England since 2007 as the hosts, in an incredible turnaround, recorded their highest-ever run chase in Test cricket.
MADRID: Spain’s ambitions of a breakthrough on the women’s international stage at Euro 2022 have been rocked by a sickening knee injury to reigning Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas. The Barcelona midfielder was expected to be one of the shining lights of the tournament until she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in training on Tuesday. Spain had been pre-tournament favorites with the bookmakers thanks to the rise of Barca as a dominant force of the club game. However, Putellas is the second key player ruled out in a matter of weeks after all-time top goalscorer Jennifer Hermoso also suffered a knee injury. “23 Alexias....for one dream,” Spanish sports daily Marca splashed across their front page on Wednesday with a picture of the remaining squad members. But there is no sugar-coating how devastating a blow to Spain’s chances losing Putellas is. The 28-year-old has become a icon at the Camp Nou with 90,000 chanting her name during Barca’s Champions League win over Real Madrid earlier this year that broke the world record for attendance at a women’s match. “Yesterday was the day to accept it,” said Putellas’ club and international teammate Patricia Guijarro on Wednesday. “We are desperate to get started and now we are triply determined.” Guijarro is one of nine Barcelona players still in the squad. Barca Femeni cruised to the Spanish title last season with 30 wins out of 30, scoring 159 goals and conceding just 11. They also made the Champions League final, although missed out on retaining the trophy, and a treble, after being pipped in the final by Lyon.

Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said only "time will tell" how the crushing loss at Edgbaston impacts the side in the long run. India let slip a golden opportunity to record their first series win in England since 2007 as the hosts, in an incredible turnaround, recorded their highest-ever run chase in Test cricket. "It's obviously disappointing to not come out as victors. The Test series was for India to win. That said, time will tell whether that loss will have any impact in the T20I and ODI series against England," Rohit said on the eve of the first T20I here.
Michael Vaughan and Wasim Jaffer have often indulged in great banter on social media. The former England cricket team captain and the ex-Indian cricket team player have often pulled each other's leg on Twitter and other social media platforms. So, when India lost to England in the fifth reschduled Test, it was time for Vaughan to take a dig at former Indian cricket team player Wasim Jaffer. "Just checking are ok @WasimJaffer14," Vaughan wrote on Twitter. The response from Jaffer was a smart one.
The 'Bazball' remained a quite hot topic during India's rescheduled fifth Test match against England. While some used it to mock the England national cricket team on Day 2 of the match, the same topic was used by the fans of England cricket as a reply to the critics later. Notably, England were 84/5 at Stumps on Day 2 but they eventually registered a dominating seven-wicket win over India to level the series 2-2. Their attacking brand of cricket helped them beat the Jasprit Bumrah-led side in the game.
