Michael Vaughan Warns England Against 'Taking The Mick' After Sri Lanka Collapse

Michael Vaughan has warned England against "take the mick out of the game" after a careless batting display against Sri Lanka in the third Test at the Oval. England, well-placed at 221-3 come stumps on the opening day, were dismissed for 325 all out in their first innings as they lost all of their remaining seven wickets before lunch on Saturday's second day in south London. Sri Lanka, already 2-0 down in this three-match series, then collapsed to 93-5 but reached stumps on 211-5 following an unbroken century partnership between captain Dhananjaya de Silva (64 not out) and Kamindu Mendis (54 not out).

On India vs Pakistan Match, Ex-Star Says 'Even If It Happens On The Moon...'

Former off-spinner Saeed Ajmal said Pakistan and India should play cricket matches against each other in their respective countries, citing that there is a lot of love between the two nations. Pakistan last toured India in 2012/13 for a three-match T20I series and as many ODI games. India last played in Pakistan in 2008, when the Asia Cup was held there. Since 2007, there has been no Test series between the two teams. The dip in ties between the two nations has meant that India and Pakistan only play against each other in multi-nation events.

Devendra Jhajharia's 'Winning Tip' Played Its Part In Navdeep Singh's Win

A "small yet powerful advice" from India's celebrated javelin thrower Devendra Jhajharia proved to be crucial for Navdeep Singh, who clinched a historic gold medal at the Paris Paralympics. This was India's first-ever gold in the F41 category, which is meant for athletes of short stature. "Sir ke paas bahut experience hain, aur woh hamesha fase huye match nikalte hain, so maine mere problems bataye (Sir has loads of experience, he always finds a way to win difficult matches, so I discussed my problems with him," Navdeep recalled their conversation in a video shared by the Paralympics Committee of India.

In an epic Paralympics tennis singles final, Great Britain's Alfie Hewett incurred a 2-6, 6-4, 5-7 to Japan's Tokito Oda. The matches lasted just over 2 1/2 hours, in front of a virtually sell-out crowd on the Philippe-Chatrier court at Roland Garros, in a great advertisement for the event. The pivotal moment came when Hewett narrowly failed to convert a match point at 5-3 on Oda's serve, the Japanese held and then broke Hewett to level at 5-5.

Coming in to bat at no. 3, Inglis sent the ball to all parts of the Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh to notch up his second T20I ton. However, he notched up two other special achievements as he reached his hundred. For one, he broke his own record, and for the other, he became the first Australian wicket-keeper batter to do so.
