‘You don’t just have to win or lose’: Trescothick admits draw in England’s thoughts for final day

Finally, the D word has entered England’s vocabulary. While Marcus Trescothick, the assistant coach, said the team “are always trying to be as positive as we can”, in the face of needing 536 runs with seven wickets standing to beat India on the final day, he acknowledged: “You don’t have to just win or lose.” A dressing room that is normally fixated on winning is finally coming to terms with a different result – not defeat, but a draw.As the final day at Edgbaston dawns on Sunday, the prospect of victory will be laughably remote, with India’s seamers in form and still fresh and England pursuing a target fully 190 higher than anything that has been successfully chased in the entire history of Test cricket.The Old Trafford washout during the 2023 Ashes remains the only stalemate in 35 matches played under Ben Stokes’s captaincy

Shubman Gill displays old-fashioned technique to break England’s resolve | Andy Bull

The sound of Shubman Gill’s bat could stop traffic. The man’s forward defence lands with the crack of John Bonham’s drum. It is a shot no one really notices in the moment but demands everyone’s attention as soon as it’s over because of the way noise resounds around the ground in the split second afterwards, like a teacher smacking his hand down on a table to get the pupils to shut up.It is the very model of the shot. His bat comes down like Gandalf’s staff

Navarro ends Krejcikova’s Wimbledon defence while Andreeva marches on

The defending champion, Barbora Krejcikova, exited No 1 Court to rousing applause after struggling through injuries in her 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 loss against the No 10 seed, Emma Navarro, in which she became increasingly distressed and broke down in tears towards the end.It is only the third time the women’s defending champion has lost in the third round in the Open era, after Venus Williams in 2006 and Petra Kvitova in 2015.“It was tough conditions,” said Navarro. “She was dealing with some injury timeouts. It definitely was tough to find my rhythm

England v India: second men’s cricket Test, day four – as it happened

16th over: England 72-3 (target 608; Pope 24, Brook 15) Deep has changed ends for the final over of the day. Frankly, after that ball to dismiss Root, he can do what he likes.He almost does precisely that when Harry Brook, the wicket India would really like to take before the close, clips just wide of the diving midwicket and away for four. Brook helps himself to four more, a freebie to fine leg.That’s the end of a pretty harrowing day for England, who are being pulverised by India

Iga Swiatek glides past Collins to become live Wimbeldon contender

One positive consequence from Iga Swiatek’s relatively poor clay court run has been the benefit of added time. Instead of arriving for the grass court season exhausted from her efforts, for once she had additional time to train, work and adapt her game to the one surface she has yet to conquer.Swiatek’s growing comfort was reflected in an efficient performance as she dismantled the dangerous Danielle Collins 6-2, 6-3 to reach the fourth round.Swiatek will face Clara Tauson. The 23rd seed upset the 2022 Wimbledon champion, Elena Rybakina, the 11th seed, 7-6 (6), 6-3
