During an interaction with ESPNCricinfo, Laxman reckoned that Pujara capitalized on every opportunity he got from the England seamers. Laxman said: The former middle-order batsman added that Pujara’s decisive foot movement was a major reason why he was able to convert the loose deliveries provided by the English seamers. Laxman noted that the Indian No.3 regularly took a front foot stride which enabled him to transfer his body weight towards the bowler....

While Pujara was dismissed for just nine runs on the first day of the Lord’s Test, Rahane managed just a solitary run in India’s first innings. This failure extends the series of low scores from the two batsmen in the recent past. While reviewing India’s batting performance on the second day in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra termed Pujara and Rahane’s consistent failures a matter of concern....

Both India and England have exceptional seam-bowling attacks that can run through the opposition batting line-up. The two teams will also hope that their batsmen rise to the occasion and help them post a substantial score. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra named Ollie Robinson as the likely standout performer from the England side. He reasoned: The former Indian cricketer highlighted that the lanky pacer will cause problems for the visitors with both line and disconcerting bounce....

The Macau Olympic Complex witnessed an electrifying 90-minute battle. Few seconds after the kick-off, India gave a clear intention as they went on to attack ruthlessly. India dominated but failed to duly convert them. In the second half a tactical change was felt, rather than piercing the Macau defense, India chose to score through crosses and the result was Balwant’s header goal. Nearing the end, Balwant added his tally into two from a long assist from goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu....

The infrared video showing smoke billowing from the doomed ship is rehashed footage from years earlier and is not the famed Moskva naval cruiser Ukrainian forces took credit for sinking, The Quint reported on Monday. While Ukraine and Russia continue to offer differing accounts for the ship’s damage, the debunked video is the latest example of misinformation that has clouded the conflict. Ukraine’s military last week proclaimed that it had successfully launched Neptune missiles at the Moskva, badly damaging the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and striking a major blow against the invading country’s military....

Dimon, 64, released the 23-page letter to shareholders on Monday, which Bloomberg News reported was his shortest since 2008. The CEO has led JP Morgan Chase, the largest and most profitable U.S. bank, for 15 years. “At a minimum, we assume that it will include a bad recession combined with some kind of financial stress similar to the global financial crisis of 2008,” Dimon wrote. “Our bank cannot be immune to the effects of this kind of stress,” he cautioned....

Nothing undermines W more than reminders of Florida, and he’ll hear plenty more when Congress returns after Labor Day. America, it seems, can capture space dust from the beginning of time and pop a plastic heart into a dying man, but we haven’t mastered the science behind counting paper ballots. According to researchers at Caltech and MIT, some 4 million to 6 million votes were lost in the last presidential election....

Monday in Queens began with rain, and there were snowflakes mixed in along with them. The morning was gray and dreary and brought the feeling that nothing would ever change, that this seemingly never-ending winter in the Northeast would, indeed, never end. Then the sun poked out, and before you knew it, there was not a cloud in the sky when the national anthem was sung before the Mets played the Nationals....

That seems to be Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon’s thought process given his boastful statement last week: “I think we’re the best receiving corps in the league, in my opinion, already. Just based off of talent alone.” Jarvis Landry, a veteran WR who should know not to stoke the flames, then piled on: “He ain’t lyin’. I think the capability of what we all can do is endless.” That’s the problem — Gordon and Landry are talking about capability and potential....

Usually, when a tattoo based on The Last of Us is discussed, the focus is on Ellie’s tattoo from the second game. Many fans have gotten their own version of Ellie’s moth tattooed on their arm, showing their love for the second entry in the critically acclaimed Naughty Dog franchise. Others have turned Ellie’s tattoo design into an embroidery project, a sign of how iconic the artwork has become. However, instead of just pulling this design straight from the game, Reddit user samanthagray98 got something more unique....

Virat Kohli’s side were unbeaten in 11 games and on a 9-match winning streak before Matthew Wade and Mitchell Swepson halted their charge, and the wins were against strong oppositions in Australia, New Zealand and West Indies. However, India are far from a settled outfit, and have a number of selection issues to address in the lead-up to the 2021 T20 World Cup at home. The Men in Blue have around 15 T20Is between now and the marquee ICC event, and in these games, they will need to address the composition of their middle order....

The financial situation of all companies is not the same as it was before. Therefore, to generate more revenue from sponsorship, the ICC has allowed teams to have giant sponsor logos on their jerseys. The Indian cricket team has subsequently altered its Test jersey a bit because of the new rule. Previously, the central sponsor’s logo was found on the top right side of the jersey. However, to allow more visibility to the advertising brand, the logo is now in the middle of the shirt....

Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari salvaged a remarkable draw for India on Monday. The duo battled for almost 300 deliveries which frustrated the Aussies to the limits. Tim Paine kept chatting behind the stumps and one of these comments to Ashwin led to the off-spinner retorting with an equally stark jibe. Paine was visibly agitated by that and replied with an abusive slur. The entire video went viral on social media and met with trolls and condemnation for the wicketkeeper-batsman....
