Five second-innings wickets follow crucial century as Worcestershire are outgunned

ECB Reporters Network28-Jul-2022Derbyshire 130 (Dal 55, Pennington 4-36) and 343 (Dal 112*, McKiernan 71, Madsen 69) beat Worcestershire 185 (Kashif 52, Aitchison 4-40) and 190 (Roderick 53*, Dal 5-40, Aitchison 3-55) by 98 runsAnuj Dal completed a superb all-round performance with a crucial intervention with the ball as Derbyshire overcame Worcestershire by 98 runs in the LV=Insurance County Championship match at New Road.Dal followed up a first-innings fifty and then a superb century with a career best return of 5 for 40 off 15 overs as Worcestershire were dismissed for 190 in 64.1 overs.The all-rounder initially struck three times in the space of seven balls to break Worcestershire’s resistance after they had resumed on 108 for 5 in pursuit of a 289 target.He made the crucial breakthrough when trapping Jack Haynes lbw for 45 after a partnership of 92 with Gareth Roderick (53 not out).Dal then sent back Joe Leach, and Josh Baker in quick succession to effectively seal a third Championship win of the campaign for the Peakites.It capped a tremendous fightback by the visitors who faced several positions of adversity in the game.They showed the character and spirit instilled into them by Head Coach, Mickey Arthur, since he arrived at the Incora County Ground this season.Derbyshire are now firmly in the race for a promotion spot for when they return to Championship action after the Royal London Cup.But Worcestershire were left to reflect on failing to press home a position of strength for the second home game.They had established a first-innings lead of 132 against Glamorgan and ended up being edged out by three wickets on a bowler-friendly surface.This time they reduced Derbyshire to 14 for 5 in their first innings and then 92 for 5 in the second when their lead was just 37.A third defeat of the campaign was a blow to their own promotion hopes.Haynes and Roderick were relatively untroubled during the opening hour of the day but the introduction of Dal at 143 for 5 started a swift decline by Worcestershire.Haynes had battled away for nearly three hours for his 45 before he pushed forward to Dal and was lbw.Leach lasted only two balls before he drove at Dal and picked out Hilton Cartwright at cover.Baker lost his off stump after offering no shot and keeper Brooke Guest claimed his ninth catch of the match from a Dillon Pennington edge.Roderick had time to complete his maiden Championship half century for Worcestershire off 126 balls before Muhammed Hasnain edged Sam Conners to second slip to seal Derbyshire’s win.

Todo clássico é especial, mesmo aqueles que ainda não valem muita coisa em meio a tantas rodadas do Brasileirão, mas o São Paulo x Santos desta segunda-feira foi especial, principalmente para Hernanes, que havia anunciado sua aposentadoria mais cedo e depois voltou ao Morumbi para receber a grande homenagem da torcida tricolor no dia em que o Profeta avisou que pararia.

Sem jogar desde dezembro de 2021, quando encerrou sua passagem pelo Sport, na Série A do Brasileirão, o ex-meio-campista sentiu que estava fazendo falta oficializar o término de sua carreira. Dessa forma, ele organizou um evento no próprio Morumbi, na manhã desta segunda, para comunicar que parou de jogar futebol profissionalmente e seguiria em uma empreitada fora dos gramados, que ainda não foi definida se será mesmo com o esporte.

Fato mesmo é que um evento reservado era muito pouco para quem tem tanta história e prestou tantos serviços para o Tricolor ao longo dos últimos anos, mais especificamente desde 2004, quando estreou no profissional. Assim, nada melhor do que aproveitar o clássico contra o Santos para receber as homenagens da torcida são-paulina no templo sagrado dela e dele.

Depois do aquecimento das equipes, as luzes do estádio foram apagadas, deixando apenas as lanternas dos celulares iluminando o Cícero Pompeu de Toledo. Tudo isso para receber Hernanes, que tanto entrou n gramado trajando calção e camiseta, mas dessa vez ele subiu as escadas dos vestiários vestindo calça social, camisa social e um terno, um requinte aperfeiçoado nos tempos de futebol italiano, onde defendeu as cores de Lazio, Internazionale e Juventus.

Um traje de gala para a ocasião, mas que pedia uma vestimenta mais apropriada para o ambiente. Foi então que o Profeta recebeu uma camisa do Tricolor com número XV (15 em algarismos romanos) remetendo aos tempos antigos, dos profetas, dotados de sabedoria e peculiaridades tal qual o ex-jogador, que também deu seu toque único no Hebei, da China, em 2017/2018.

Foi lá em território chinês, inclusive, que ele conquistou a medalha de bronze olímpica pela Seleção Brasileira, quando ainda defendia o São Paulo, em 2008. Olímpica também foi a volta que Hernanes deu no gramado do Morumbi, para acenar para todos os são-paulinos presentes no estádio. Houve tempo até para parar em frente ao símbolo do clube e beijá-lo para agradecer por tudo, desde a base, até o bicampeonato brasileiro (2007 e 2008) e o título paulista (2021).

Mas as homenagens não pararam por aí. Cada jogador tricolor que entrou em campo nesta segunda-feira carrega Hernanes consigo, já que nas camisas deles está estampada a seguinte frase “Obrigado, Profeta”. É um peso a mais de um nome que defendeu o São Paulo em três oportunidades e honrou o clube em todas elas (2004 a 2010, 2017 e 2019 a 2021), até sair e seguir para o Sport.

Diante do personagem e de sua importância, valeria até uma festa maior do que foi no Morumbi, talvez em um jogo de domingo, com horário bom para os torcedores chegarem. Mas é aguardar cenas dos próximos capítulos, em uma história tão grande como essa, não vai parar por aqui. Quem esteve no estádio nesta segunda-feira, vai poder dizer que viu “O dia que o Profeta parou”.

The trio will be part of the support staff during India’s two-T20I tour

PTI and ESPNcricinfo staff13-Jun-2022

National Cricket Academy coaches Sitanshu Kotak, Sairaj Bahutule and Munish Bali will be part of India’s support staff, which will be led by VVS Laxman, on the short tour of Ireland later this month.Kotak, who accumulated 8061 first-class runs for Saurashtra in a career spanning two decades, was part of the India A support staff during their tour of South Africa in November-December 2021. Bahutule, one of the most successful spinners in Ranji Trophy history with 630 first-class wickets, was bowling coach of the India Under-19 side that won the World Cup in the Caribbean in early 2022. Bali was also with them, as fielding coach.Laxman will be India’s head coach during their two-match T20I series in Ireland, filling in for Rahul Dravid, who will instead be in England to oversee the team’s preparation for the rescheduled fifth Test from the tour last year as well as the limited-overs series. With Dravid and the other senior support staff members set to depart for England with the Test squad later this week, the trio of Bali, Kotak and Bahutule has already joined the T20I squad that is currently playing South Africa at home.Laxman is currently the director of cricket at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, a position he has been in since being appointed last year following Dravid’s elevation as head coach of the national team. He has earlier been involved in coaching capacities with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL and Bengal in the Indian domestic circuit as a batting consultant. Earlier this year, he was part of the support staff group with the India Under-19 World Cup-winning team in the Caribbean.There will also be a clash of dates between India’s T20 warm-up games in England – against Northamptonshire and Derbyshire – and the Edgbaston Test, so there is a possibility of Laxman being with the team during those games as well.India’s Test specialists are likely to leave for England on June 15. The Birmingham Test had been pushed back following a Covid-19 outbreak in the Indian camp last year.

England win 3-0 over LatviaTuchel talks about 'struggle'Coach starts life with two winsFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Tuchel has started his career as England boss with two straight wins in the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia. The Three Lions kicked off the clash against Latvia with a superb free-kick strike in the first half before second-half goals from Harry Kane and Eberechi Eze rounded up a 3-0 win.

England seemed to struggle to get off the blocks at the start of the second half against Latvia despite dominating the proceedings in the first half, as it seemed the visitors may get back into the game. However, the Three Lions held off the surge and got back their stronghold of the clash, and Tuchel has now admitted that the drop at the start of the second half "makes no sense".

WHAT TUCHEL SAID

Speaking to the media, Tuchel said: "It was not an easy match. We saw a lot of good things, created good chances. We needed a free-kick to unlock it. I'm happy with the attitude, energy and desire. We will get there.

"The second half we started to slow the game down and made little movement, which makes no sense. But the second goal was better as we showed acceleration from one of our sixes. We encourage everyone to have these late accelerations but we struggled a bit until the goal."

Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR ENGLAND?

Tuchel will now some more time to analyse what exactly happened at the start of the second half as well as the two games in their entirety. The Three Lions will return to action in June against Andorra in the third World Cup qualifier.

Vencedor do encontro anterior com alto volume de jogo, combinando com o estilo almejado pela diretoria quando da contratação do técnico Alexander Medina, o Inter tem a chance de abrir a semi em casa e obter vantagem pensando já no compromisso da volta, na Arena.

A única alteração dentro da lista de atletas disponíveis para o treinador uruguaio deve ser Gabriel Mercado, já que o defensor se recuperou de lesão muscular na coxa direita.

Do lado do Grêmio, a possibilidade que gera maior expectativa é de contar com Diego Souza. Reabilitado também de questão muscular, o artilheiro da equipe nos últimos dois anos, bem como no início de 2022, ainda não tem presença confirmada no embate em que a equipe tenta, essencialmente, “apagar” a partida digna de muitas críticas feita no Grenal 435.

The visitors had declared their second innings on 97, and asked the hosts to survive 172 overs

Tristan Lavalette15-Mar-2022Pakistan 148 and 192 for 2 (Babar 102*, Shafique 71*, Green 1-15) need another 314 runs to beat Australia 556 for 9 dec and 97 for 2 dec (Khawaja 44*, Labuschagne 44, Afridi 1-21)Captain Babar Azam hit a stirring century and combined brilliantly with opener Abdullah Shafique to defy Australia’s push for victory, as Pakistan’s stubborn resistance left the second Test intriguingly poised ahead of the fifth day.Needing to survive 172 overs, Pakistan were 192 for 2 at stumps on day four with Babar on 102* and Shafique unbeaten on 71. Pakistan still need another 314 runs for an unlikely record-setting victory, but have made Australia toil through 82 overs in a far cry to their toothless first innings of 148.Having played a lone hand in Pakistan’s first innings, Babar notched his sixth Test century – his first in two years – with a sweep over fine leg just before stumps. He let out a roar amid jubilation from a sparse crowd after which he and Shafique survived two overs against the second new ball and made it through to the close.After Pakistan were reeling at 21 for 2, Babar and Shafique combined for a rousing partnership of 171 to thwart Australia’s attack and provide a flicker of hope for the hosts, who had been hapless for most of this match previously.With oppressive conditions in Karachi throughout the match, the pitch is marked by widening cracks in a contrast to the docile Rawalpindi deck amid a stale first Test draw. There was sharp turn and variable bounce evident, particularly earlier in Pakistan’s innings, but the pitch did not appear to deteriorate as the day wore on.Abdullah Shafique was dropped on 20 by Steven Smith•PCBBabar and Shafique were mostly untroubled, and blunted the bowling through almost two sessions in somewhat of a throwback to Rawalpindi when Australia claimed just four wickets in 239 overs. The visitors were left to rue two early chances against first-Test centurion Shafique, who started slowly before finding fluency after being joined at the crease by a positive Babar.Shafique was dropped on 20 by Steven Smith, whose struggles at slip continued when he spilt a straightforward chance. Even though he was standing close, Smith will feel aggrieved at his fumble, having been below par with his slip catching during the Ashes too.After Pakistan endured two horror run-outs in the first innings, Shafique was almost dismissed short of his crease for the second time in the Test only for Cameron Green’s throw from mid-on to miss the stumps. Australia weren’t able to penetrate with Mitchell Starc either, who had starred with 3 for 29 on day three, as he was unable to conjure the type of menacing reverse swing that had lit a fuse under the Test 24 hours earlier.Mitchell Swepson, Australia’s first specialist legspinner since Bryce McGain in 2009, was loose in Pakistan’s first innings but looked more comfortable the second time around, and occasionally conjured sharp fizz much like his hero Shane Warne, who mentored him.Late in the day, he was entrusted by Pat Cummins to break the partnership as Swepson bowled from around the wicket aiming for the rough patch outside the leg stump of the two right-hand batters with four catchers around the bat, but a confident Babar continually padded the ball away to frustrate Australia.Cameron Green got Azhar Ali after the batter ducked into a short delivery that skidded low•AFP/Getty ImagesCummins, who has seemingly made all the right moves in this Test, turned to himself before stumps and conjured sharp swing with the second new ball but to no avail.It has been a brave effort from Pakistan amid some expectation that Australia could wrap up victory inside four days after dominating since the get go. Things appeared to be going to plan for Australia when Pakistan started their daunting task disastrously before lunch, as opener Imam-ul-Haq was plumb lbw for 1 to a sliding Nathan Lyon delivery. It completed a miserable match for Imam, who had fallen loosely to Lyon on 20 in the first innings after twin centuries in Rawalpindi.Pakistan were intent on mere survival, with Azhar Ali stonewalling for 6 off 54 balls, but he fell lbw in the second over after lunch while ducking into a short Green delivery that skidded low. It was reminiscent of Glenn McGrath’s famous wicket against Sachin Tendulkar in Adelaide in 1999, but replays showed Azhar had gloved the ball before it hit his body as he trudged off ruing not calling for a review.Earlier in the day, Australia gave themselves plenty of time to take a series lead after Cummins declared their second innings 25 minutes into day four with the score at 97, their third-lowest declaration in Tests. The only other time Australia had declared both their innings in a Test in Asia was against India during the famous tied Test in Chennai in 1986.Usman Khawaja, who had hit three centuries in six previous innings since his recall, finished on 44* as the declaration cut short his chance of getting twin hundreds in the same Test after he achieved the feat in Sydney on his recall. However, the declaration turned out to be a wise call, with Australia coming up against stiff resistance from Pakistan, who have lifted off the canvas.
