Irreconhecível, o Corinthians não conseguiu ampliar a sua sequência de vitórias e foi derrotado por 2 a 0 pelo São Bernardo na noite desta quinta-feira (9), pela sétima rodada do Campeonato Paulista. O Bernô marcou tanto no início do primeiro tempo, quanto no começo do segundo.

O meio-campista Vitinho, cobrando pênalti, e o centroavante João Carlos foram os responsáveis por balançar as redes. Com isso, o Tigre chegou ao seu terceiro triunfo consecutivo. Já o Timão perdeu a chance de vencer pela quarta vez seguida.

SÃO BERNARDO COMEÇA MELHOR E SAI NA FRENTE

O São Bernardo começou em cima do Corinthians e rapidamente converteu isso em gol. Com um minuto, Rodrigo Souza apareceu livre na entrada da área e obrigou o goleiro Cássio a fazer uma boa defesa. Dois minutos depois, Balbuena vacilou na saída de bola, perdeu a posse e atingiu o ex-corintiano Léo Jabá, que foi atingido e caiu na área. O árbitro João Vitor Gobi não pensou duas vezes em assinalar a penalidade, que foi batida e convertida pelo meio-campista Vitinho, que bateu no canto esquerdo, oposto ao que Cássio caiu.

E não é porque o Bernô saiu na frente antes dos cinco minutos de jogo que o time se fechou. O Tigre seguiu em cima do Timão e chegou até a acertar uma bola na trave, com João Carlos, de cabeça.

PRIMEIRO TEMPO DO TIMÃO É INEXISTENTE

Depois da bola da trave do São Bernardo, o jogo caiu de ritmo. O Bernô parou de ir para cima, mas o Timão também não agrediu. A equipe alvinegra até passou a ter mais a bola, mas a criação foi praticamente inexistente. Até os 40 minutos, o Corinthians finalizou somente uma vez e sem perigo. Nos minutos finais, teve mais um chute que não assustou o adversário e a única finalização em direção ao gol, em uma cabeceio de Giuliano, após cobrança de escanteio, que obrigou o goleiro Alex Alves fazer boa defesa.

SÃO BERNARDO VOLTA BROCANDO

E se o primeiro já estava se desenhando difícil para o Corinthians, ficou pior logo no primeiro lance de perigo do segundo tempo, quando o São Bernardo ampliou. Na primeira situação do lateral Alex Reinaldo, que havia entrado no intervalo, ele recebeu de Chrystian Barletta e cruzou por baixo para João Carlos, que estava sozinho na pequena área, e escorou para o fundo do gol.

LÁZARO MUDA, CORINTHIANS CRESCE, MAS NÃO MOVIMENTA O PLACAR

Na tentativa de recolocar o Corinthians no jogo, o técnico Fernando Lázaro fez três mudanças de uma vez, colocando Fábio Santos, Fausto Vera e Paulinho, no lugar de Matheus Bidu, Du Queiroz e Romero. O Timão até criou chances depois disso, a principal com uma finalização de Paulinho no travessão. Róger Guedes também teve uma boa chance, quando invadiu a área, pelo lado esquerdo, mas foi travado na hora da finalização.

Sri Lanka batter Dinesh Chandimal left Chattogram for Colombo on Tuesday, day four of the ongoing Test, for a “family medical emergency”.Chandimal was already dismissed in Sri Lanka’s second innings on day three. Sri Lanka will bring on a substitute fielder in his place in the fourth innings of the game.”The player will return home immediately. Sri Lanka Cricket, his team-mates, and the coaching staff fully support Dinesh Chandimal at this moment of need and request that the public respect his and his family’s privacy,” a statement put out by the SLC said.Related

South Africa will have Coetzee and Jansen available only for the second T20I before they are released to prepare for the Tests

Firdose Moonda10-Dec-2023The first T20I between South Africa and India – one of only six matches in the format for each side before next year’s T20 World Cup – was called off without even the toss taking place in Durban. Steady drizzle through the day meant that a capacity crowd was denied any action as the fixture was abandoned an hour and 54 minutes after it was due to start, at 4pm local time.The washout was particularly disappointing for Kingsmead, which has no other international fixtures this summer and is celebrating its centenary this year. This was also due to be veteran groundsman Wilson Ngobese’s last international pitch, as he will retire at the end of the season. Kingsmead will still host domestic matches, including a first-class match between the Dolphins and Lions which starts next Thursday, and SA20 fixtures early next year.For the teams, the inability to get any game time will scupper some of their plans to give players game time in a limited international schedule. South Africa will now have Gerald Coetzee and Marco Jansen available only for the second match before they are released to prepare for the Tests and will field a second-string pace attack in the third match. Their only other fixtures before the T20 World Cup are immediately before the tournament, against West Indies, where they will travel with their World Cup squad. India play three matches against Afghanistan in January, where they will still be able to tinker with their combinations.The second and third matches in the series take place on Tuesday and Thursday in Gqeberha and Johannesburg respectively, with rain forecast at St. George’s Park on Tuesday afternoon and cloudy skies over the Wanderers through the week.

Top Story: Bangladesh trump Sri Lanka amid timed-out drama in Delhi

Yet another chapter was written into the story of subcontinental cricket’s most engrossing rivalry, in which Bangladesh came away deserved winners against Sri Lanka, winning by three wickets and, crucially, 53 deliveries in Delhi. The margin of victory means Bangladesh have leapfrogged Sri Lanka on the points table on net run rate, while Bangladesh, Netherlands and Sri Lanka are all on four points and all three – and England – are still vying for the two remaining spots at the 2025 Champions Trophy.This, though, was a game where a solitary incident overshadowed all else. The now customary controversy associated with the “Naagin Derby” was this time a historic first, as Angelo Mathews was dismissed timed out – the first instance of the rare dismissal in international cricket.Click here for the full report

Explainer: The Mathews timed out – what happened

Angelo Mathews argues with the umpires after being timed out•AFP/Getty Images

Angelo Mathews became the first player ever to be timed out in international cricket after a helmet malfunction in Sri Lanka’s World Cup group match against Bangladesh in Delhi, adding further drama to a rivalry not short of it.Mathews was already on the pitch and in his final preparations before taking strike against Shakib Al Hasan. His helmet strap broke just as he was tightening it around his chin. He called for a replacement helmet, which was run out to him by Chamika Karunaratne. Shakib then appeared to initiate a discussion with umpire Marais Erasmus, after which Mathews, as he was not ready to face his first ball within the two minutes to do so as allowed in the ICC playing conditions, was informed he was timed out.Read the full piece from Andrew Fidel Fernando

Kumble: Spin can trouble Australia at Wankhede

There was a time when facing Afghanistan in a World Cup held no fears for Australia. The five-time World Champions have been nothing short of ruthless in the two previous ODI World Cup meetings. In 2015, in Perth, Australia piled up 417 for 6 with David Warner cracking 178, on their way to a 275-run win. In 2019, in Bristol, Australia romped home to a seven-wicket win with 91 balls to spare having bowled Afghanistan out for 207 before Warner again made 89 not out.But there is no chance the 2023 Australians are heading to the Wankhede Stadium assuming they will win again at a canter. Afghanistan poses an enormous threat, despite Australia’s five-game winning streak. Afghanistan have won three in a row themselves and have already taken down England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Netherlands as they push for a maiden semi-final berth.Full previewTeam newsAfghanistan (probable): 1 Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 2 Ibrahim Zadran, 3 Rahmat Shah, 4 Hashmatullah Shahidi (capt), 5 Azmatullah Omarzai, 6 Ikram Alikhil (wk), 7 Mohammad Nabi, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 10 Naveen-ul-Haq/Noor Ahmad, 11 Fazalhaq FarooqiAustralia (probable): 1 David Warner, 2 Travis Head, 3 Mitchell Marsh, 4 Steven Smith/Marnus Labuschagne, 5 Josh Inglis (wk), 6 Glenn Maxwell, 7 Marcus Stoinis, 8 Pat Cummins (capt), 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Adam Zampa, 11 Josh HazlewoodFeature: Maxwell prepares to take on Afghanistan’s spinnersGlenn Maxwell is standing diagonally behind the Australia team nets. Arms folded, his body straight, the cap worn backwards on the head, dark shades covering the eyes which are presumably fixed on what’s going on in the nets.He has watched Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis smash the ball around. He has seen enough of Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne take throwdowns. And the way he is holding his pose only a few steps away from the nets with a dead-pan straight face, it would seem as if he is barred from batting and has been punished further by watching his team-mates smother the ball in the nets, especially given the amount of runs that could again be on offer at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday.

Could Liverpool striker Diogo Jota’s well-taken goal in the Merseyside derby have been more timely? He’d languished through a dreary first half in the Premier League on Wednesday evening, consigned to more misery in the final third.

But, like all great finishers, he struck hard and true when presented with a golden opportunity, securing Anfield a priceless win over Everton as Arne Slot edges closer to maiden-year glory.

Jota is a wonderful goalscorer, but he’s also been horribly out of sorts over the past few months, with his goal earlier this week breaking an 11-game duck in front of goal.

The 28-year-old, of course, will need to build on this moment, but it might just have been enough to remind FSG and Liverpool and the fans that this is a forward worth keeping on the books. Jota, after all, has been hailed for his “exceptional” scoring ability by Jurgen Klopp in the past.

However, Liverpool do need to sign a new striker this summer and ease the burden on chief talisman Mohamed Salah, 32, should the Egyptian renew his contract.

Liverpool's hunt for a striker

Darwin Nunez stoked the passions of Liverpool fans on Wednesday evening, embodying derby-day spirit as he gesticulated in front of the crowd, raising the decibels having been booked for his part in a fracas with the ever-annoying Jordan Pickford.

But Nunez’s day is almost done, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that the expectation is for the Uruguay striker to be sold at the end of the season.

He will, at least, be attired in a Premier League champions’ jersey with a gold medal to match, but with just seven goals across 41 appearances for Liverpool this season, it feels certain that Nunez will be sold.

The Athletic have confirmed Liverpool’s interest in Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, but at £150m (or more) it’s unlikely FSG will green-light a deal. It’s unlikely anyone will green-light a deal, for that matter, least of all the Magpies.

So then, alternatives. Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane has been reported by Spanish sources to be on Liverpool’s radar, while Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez is also admired by Liverpool’s hierarchy.

4.	Robert Lewandowski	25	2	27
5.	Mateo Retegui	22	4	26
5=	Ousmane Dembele	21	5	26
Stats via Transfermarkt

Both deals, speaking truthfully, feel improbable, with Kane’s release clause not active until January 2026 and Alvarez only arriving in Madrid last summer, thus touted at a rather ridiculous £142m figure.

FSG love a bargain, however, and it may be that they can sign two for the price of one in a talented centre-forward who is waiting for his big break.

Statistical analysis shows he has properties that reflect strengths in both Kane and Alvarez’s skill sets, so perhaps it’s worth a punt.

FSG open talks with bargain striker

According to Empire of the Kop, Liverpool have opened talks with Jonathan David’s representatives ahead of a potential summer signing. David’s contract with LOSC Lille is almost up and he could be signed on a Bosman.

The 25-year-old has thrived in France over the past five years but feels the time is right for a fresh challenge, and the Premier League could be the perfect platform to take his career to new heights.

Liverpool, should they sell Nunez, will need a new centre-forward, but with work to be completed across a vast range of positions, this could be a shrewd deal indeed to add a new level of incisiveness to the bow of the ship.

What Jonathan David would bring to Liverpool

Now, all this might sound a little anti-climactic, but please refer to the myriad deals struck under FSG’s influence that have since proved to be blinders.

David might not be the most prominent name on the sphere (yet), but he’s well regarded by those who know his qualities. Canadian football expert Tony Marinaro has actually pronounced his countryman to be “one of the best strikers in the world.”

His incremental progress in France is evidenced through an increased goal threat and a blooming playmaking quality to match. Goals are great and all, but David has laid on 27 assists across five campaigns for Lille, 19 of which have been posted since the start of last season.

Not only creative, David is one of the most technically crisp number nines on the block, ranking among the top 18% of positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for goals scored, the top 17% for carries made per 90 and, crucially, the top 1% for pass completion, as per FBref.

Not only does this align perfectly with Slot’s style of play – Nunez is incongruous in the system, ranking among the bottom 37% for pass completion – but it has led FBref to draw both Kane and Alvarez against the Canada international, technical distinctions marking them among his most comparable players.

Kane might be a deadly goalscorer, but he’s also one of the most creative and influential forwards in the game, with David Ginola once commenting on his elite-level dynamism, saying: “Harry Kane the playmaker, number 10, he’s like Maradona now!”

Likewise, Alvarez has been in fine scoring fettle this season, bagging 23 goals from 46 appearances in all competitions. However, he too is multi-dimensional, ranking among the top 6% of forwards for passes attempted, the top 10% for shot-creating actions, the top 9% for progressive carries and the top 12% for tackles per 90.

If David – who has been described as a “world-class player” by journalist Arash Madani – truly bears a likeness to such players, he might be the perfect option to add to Slot’s brood.

Liverpool need to make a range of signings this summer, and while a more illustrious name will be desired by fans, he’s got what it takes to take the Premier League – and indeed Europe – by storm as Liverpool’s focal frontman.

Slot's hit gold on "special" Liverpool star who's worth more than Frimpong

Liverpool were taken to the cleaners by Newcastle United on Sunday, a distant second-best as the Magpies earned a 2-1 victory at Wembley to lift the Carabao Cup and end 70 years of hurt.

It closed a miserable week for the Reds, whose Champions League campaign tail-spun into the murk as Paris Saint-Germain won the shootout at Anfield. Newcastle’s victory has closed the door on another pathway, leaving the Premier League standing alone over the final two months.

Player ratings courtesy of Sofascore

But, of course, it’s not all doom and gloom. Arne Slot’s side are 12 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the division and can now invest their time and energy exclusively on clinching the covetous trophy. Supporters would have snapped at the chance for such an outcome last summer after Jurgen Klopp departed and Liverpool were prematurely written off.

Maybe it’s the high ceiling Slot has offered a glimpse of that has left such a deflating feeling across Merseyside. Liverpool, to be sure, will be frustrated with having fallen from all three cup fronts, with potential departures of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold adding insult to injury.

Liverpool are going to need a revamp at the front of the ship, and Alexander Isak, scorer in the capital on Sunday, is set to be at the top of the wish list.

Liverpool's summer transfer plans

Multiple sources have confirmed over the past few months that Liverpool are attentive to Isak’s situation at St. James’ Park. Arsenal also have a vested interest, and he may yet remain in black and white, potentially buoyed by winning a trophy and potentially qualifying for the Champions League.

For upwards of a reported £150m, Isak’s arrival would blow a blow out of FSG’s transfer chest, perhaps detrimentally so. Newcastle want the Sweden striker to stay for the long run and will fiercely protect him this summer.

He’s desirable, that’s for sure. But Isak isn’t the only player who could fit right in as a starting member of Slot’s Liverpool team. Last summer, Anthony Gordon came close to moving back to Merseyside, but Liverpool ultimately decided against the £75m-rated winger.

With Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez all facing uncertain futures at Liverpool, such interest may be revisited. However, there’s actually another member of Eddie Howe’s outfit who should be prioritised above his peers in the market this year.

Forget Isak: Liverpool might need another Newcastle star

On Monday, Fabrizio Romano discussed several plot points regarding Liverpool’s plans this summer, confirming talks have been held regarding Isak.

However, there’s another Newcastle man Slot may want to sign this summer, and he’s not a forward.

Since arriving in the Premier League in January 2022, Bruno Guimaraes has been a revelation in midfield for the Toon. The £40m signing from Lyon was described as a “world-class” player by talent scout Jacek Kulig. With such an impressive all-round game, you’d say Guimaraes would dovetail right into the Liverpool starting lineup.

According to FBref, the Brazilian bears a distinct statistical likeness to Jude Bellingham, Alexis Mac Allister and Declan Rice, an amalgamation of the three, capable of excelling across the different functions of an elite midfielder.

At Wembley, Guimaraes might not have retained the ball with the greatest crispness, but it mattered not. Newcastle were content with Liverpool holding onto the ball and doing little with it. His combative and tenacious nature showed though, winning a whopping nine duels, making six interventions and just putting in a worthy shift for the trophy.

It’s this kind of presence Liverpool need in their centre, offering something more crunching to pack an extra punch while still retaining every bit of technical style. Guimaraes led his team and followed PSG’s blueprint, both sides steamrolling the Reds out of cup competitions.

The Guardian even handed Guimaraes a 9/10 match rating after his display at Wembley, hailing his success in imposing himself on his Liverpool adversaries, overwhelming them.

His passing range is something to behold, a technical level most all high-performing midfielders across Europe can only dream of.

As per FBref, he actually ranks among the top 5% of midfielders across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for goals + assists, the top 7% for shot-creating actions, the top 8% for progressive passes and the top 6% for successful take-ons per 90.

If you’re not convinced already, well-respected analyst Raj Chohan said “Newcastle have every right to be putting a £100m valuation” on their general, whose dynamic and all-encompassing midfield qualities would not be found in a replacement.

That said, if FSG do indeed have money to burn this year, there are few options in that exorbitant ballpark who would be worth the effort more than Guimaraes, who could reinforce the central fold and unlock a new level to Slot’s team. He ran the show at Wembley, after all.

When discussing Liverpool’s interest in Isak, Romano also suggested midfield could be an area FSG do business in the summer. “Let’s see what happens,” he said.

Given Liverpool were reported to have been keen last summer, perhaps they could now revisit a deal.

Slot’s reluctance to change his starting options in the centre this year does make a telling comment on his view toward some fringe options. Guimaraes would change all of that; in fact, the midfield machine might just become the cream of Liverpool’s crop.

Medindo forças pela 18ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro da Série B, CRB e Brusque entraram em campo na tarde deste sábado, no estádio Rei Pelé, em Maceió. Apesar de um primeiro tempo sem gols, o clube de Santa Catarina chegou a sair na frente com Júnior Todinho, após penalidade marcada através do VAR, porém, na reta final, Anselmo Ramon igualou para o Galo, fechando a conta em 1 a 1.

Com o resultado, a equipe comandada por Daniel Paulista parou na 9ª colocação, chegando aos 24 pontos, enquanto o time comandado por Luan Carlos, por conta do tropeço fora de casa, estacionou na 12ª posição, agora com 21 pontos.

CRB TEM MELHOR INÍCIO

Fazendo valer o fator casa, a equipe do CRB foi para cima logo nos primeiros movimentos de jogo. Com isso, apostando na velocidade, tentou surpreender o sistema defensivo do Brusque, que levou a melhor até os 10 minutos.

Na sequência, até os 30 minutos, o panorama em campo era basicamente o mesmo. Entretanto, quem conseguiu oferecer o primeiro perigo foi Rafael Longuine, que ao chutar fora da área, viu a bola passar próximo ao gol de Jordan.

QUADRICOLOR MARCA, MAS GOL NÃO VALE

Apesar das poucas vezes em que se aventurou no campo de ataque, o Bruscão chegou a balançar a rede adversária com Wallace, aos 32 minutos. Entretanto, o tento acabou sendo anulado por conta de um impedimento de Fernandinho no início da jogada.

Já na reta final da etapa, a equipe catarinense tentou aproveitar o momento para pressionar o rival. Entretanto, sem muita efetividade, não conseguiu assustar o goleiro Diogo Silva, mantendo o placar zerado.

GALO VOLTA MELHOR PARA A ETAPA FINAL

Com Daniel Paulista promovendo sua primeira troca ao tirar Gum para a entrada de Diego Ivo, o CRB mostrou força nos primeiros minutos. Até os 10 minutos, martelava o sistema defensivo rival conseguindo criar uma boa chance com Fabinho, mas que parou nas mãos de Jordan.

Tentando não ficar apenas atrás, o Brusque então resolveu apostar em seu poder de ataque. E quase deu certo. Aos 13, Álvaro recebeu em profundidade e arriscou um chute que passou muito perto do travessão do Galo, para desespero do meio-campista.

BRUSQUE MARCA, MAS CRB IGUALA NA SEQUÊNCIA

Com o tempo passando, o time comandado por Luan Carlos passou a ficar um pouco mais com a posse de bola. Sendo assim, em um lance isolado após cobrança de falta de Pará, a arbitragem foi ao VAR checar um possível pênalti de Wellington Carvalho sobre Wallace. Após alguns minutos, foi assinalada a falta dentro da área, dando a deixa para Júnior Todinho bater com força rasteiro, vendo o goleiro Diogo Silva tocar na bola antes de entrar.

Não querendo perder tempo, o time da casa lançou-se ao ataque em busca do empate. E se deu bem. Após escanteio cobrado por Longuine, Emerson chegou a tocar na boca sobrando para Anselmo Ramon, sem marcação, marcar seu gol fechando a partida em 1 a 1. Nos minutos finais, já nos acréscimos, poucos foram os lances de perigo, dando a deixa para o árbitro colocar um ponto final no jogo em Maceió.

England 281 (Duckett 63, Pope 60, Abrar 7-114) and 275 (Brook 108, Duckett 79, Abrar 4-120) beat Pakistan 202 (Babar 75, Shakeel 63, Leach 4-98) and 328 (Shakeel 94, Imam 60, Wood 4-65) by 26 runsRaw pace in a raw match situation. It’s the weapon for which England have been crying out throughout their generations of failure on unforgiving subcontinent wickets – that point of difference to unlock well-set batters and deliver the moments that make victory possible. On a nerve-shredding fourth and final day in Multan, Mark Wood was that man, as Pakistan’s gutsy pursuit of 355 was thwarted with just 26 runs left to defend.The honour of taking the final wicket went to Ollie Robinson – Player of the Match in Rawalpindi – as Pakistan’s last man Mohammad Ali snicked a thin edge through to Ollie Pope to seal England’s first series win in the country for 22 years, and their eighth Test victory in nine since the start of the Ben Stokes captaincy era. But Wood’s final figures of 4 for 65 were the gamebreaker – specifically, his two priceless wickets in the final minutes before lunch, to crack a formidable sixth-wicket stand between Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Nawaz that, for much of the morning session, had seemed on course to deliver a stunning series-leveller.In a fire-and-ice partnership of 80 in 21.5 overs, Shakeel had been the sheet-anchor while Nawaz carried the attack back to England’s bowlers, to whittle down the requirement deep into double figures. But in the space of six Wood deliveries, both men were blasted out via short balls down the leg-side – “strangles”, as you might deem them in ordinary situations. But on this surface, and in this scenario, Wood was bowling to a clear plan, attempting to get his bouncers as straight into body as possible, and bring his leg-side catchers into the game. Perhaps there was no real need to oblige him, but the dynamics of true pace can unsettle even the most well-set.Pope – forever in the action in his supposedly stand-in role as wicketkeeper – was the man to scoop up both offerings, although debate will rage about the second, and most crucial, of Wood’s incisions. With a brilliantly gutsy century looming, Shakeel swung into his pull and under-edged his stroke, for Pope to make good ground and scoop the ball millimetres from the turf. Subsequent replays suggested, however, the ball may have made contact with the ground as his gloves closed around the chance, but guided by Aleem Dar’s on-field soft signal of out, third umpire Joel Wilson deemed there was not enough evidence to overturn.The upshot was that Pakistan went to the break on 291 for 7, needing 64 more runs for victory, but despite the irrepressible efforts of the tail – not least Abrar Ahmed – the target would prove tantalisingly out of reach.As if his 11-wicket haul wasn’t enough of an impact on debut, Abrar emerged for the final session in the mood to mash his team over the line – carving James Anderson through midwicket for four before using Wood’s pace against him with three more in four balls, including a dinky ramp through backward point. But with 17 from 11 balls, Abrar made room to flay Anderson through the off-side, and picked out Duckett at short cover to tilt the scales once more.Agha Salman – Pakistan’s last recognised batter – decided his best bet, with 45 now needed, was to chance his arm when the field was up, even if it risked leaving his tail-end partners exposed. Twice he cracked consecutive boundaries off the fifth and sixth balls of an over, first off Anderson and then off a tiring Wood. Twice, however, England hit back with the very first ball of their next over. First, Wood flattened Zahid Mahmood’s off stump to leave Pakistan nine-down and 36 adrift. Then Robinson, back for the first ball of a new spell, hit that immaculate line-and-length that has been his trademark all tour, and though Ali reviewed, thinking the ball had flicked his pad, the replay showed a big snick off his edge as well.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

It was a breathless finish to another pulsating fourth innings, and one that had been keenly in the balance from the very start of the day. With victory or bust beckoning for both teams, Pakistan had resumed on their overnight 198 for 4 – still a taxing but obtainable 157 away – but it was England who made the day’s first move. With a pair of left-handers at the crease, Joe Root was tossed up the ball to turn it away from the edge, and on 10, Faheem Ashraf pushed forward at his habitual round-the-wicket line for Zak Crawley to pouch a sharp chance at slip as the ball straightened and kissed the shoulder of the bat.It was Root’s 50th Test wicket – making him only the third player in history to do the 10,000 runs / 50 wickets double – and at 210 for 5, England were inching into the ascendancy.Shakeel, however, was unruffled as he steeled himself purely for endurance, safe in the knowledge that so long as he was there, Pakistan were very much on track. Nawaz, however – pushed up to No. 7 ahead of Salman – took a more proactive approach to his innings of 45 from 62. By taking on England’s spinners, he persuaded Stokes to turn to the second new ball the moment it became available, and though Robinson caused him some problems with his lifting line outside off stump, Nawaz responded with a crashing drive through the covers to leave Stokes scratching his head as he sized up his options.Root had been Stokes’ initial choice for a share of the new ball, hoping that his round-arm offbreaks might skid on a touch faster, but Nawaz took the attack to him with a brace of proactive boundaries, prompting Anderson to re-enter the fray. He soon induced Shakeel into a low edge for four through the cordon, and that moment perhaps persuaded the batter that taking down the spinners was now Pakistan’s best ploy, with the threat at the other end mounting.Shakeel drilled Jack Leach through the covers for his most forceful stroke of the morning, then top-edged a sweep in the same over that looped away to safety to take him into the 90s. At which point Stokes responded by turning back to Wood, whose round-the-wicket angle leaked another precious boundary as Nawaz flicked a short ball off his hips.That, however, would be the last moment of true progress in the session for Pakistan. Two balls later, Nawaz flicked to Pope, and England’s route to victory had reopened. Wood’s irrepressible will to win meant there would be no denying his side a truly historic victory – only their fourth in more than 60 years of Tests in Pakistan, and their first series win since Nasser Hussain’s triumph in the dark 22 years ago in Karachi, the venue for next week’s finale.

Now the transfer window is closed, INEOS and Manchester United are turning their attentions to agreeing a new contract with one of their key players, who wants a massive 18x wage increase, according to a new report.

Man Utd transfer news

The January transfer window was always going to be a difficult month for the Red Devils to conduct any transfer business, as PSR meant they had to be careful and move players on before looking to bring anyone new in.

Move over Dorgu: Man Utd could regret selling £15m Solskjaer signing

The former Man United star might have thrived under Amorim

ByJoe Nuttall Feb 5, 2025

The departures of Antony and Marcus Rashford allowed United to enter the market and bring in Ayden Heaven from Arsenal and Patrick Dorgu from Lecce. Both players were brought on to the Old Trafford pitch before the game against Crystal Palace at the weekend, and since then, Dorgu has sat down with the club’s media, stating it is “amazing to be part of the family”.

Dorgu told Man Utd’s media team: “It feels amazing to be part of the family. I’m very excited to get going. I have heard about the incredible support, and I’m happy to be one of the players of United now.

“It’s a huge club. It’s the biggest club in England, and I’m really looking forward to working with the new manager [Ruben Amorim], and I feel the system suits me really well. So, I’m excited to be here.”

Since Dorgu’s arrival, who will look to end the club’s misery at left-back, the Red Devils have announced that Tyrell Malacia has left the club to join Dutch side PSV Eindhoven. The 25-year-old joins initially on a loan deal until the end of the season, as Fabrizio Romano reports that there is a €10m buy option and a 30% sell-on clause inserted into the agreement.

INEOS working on a new deal for Man Utd gem

The Red Devils’ transfer business will now have to wait until the summer, and before then, according to GIVE ME SPORT, Man United are looking to agree a new contract with midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.

The report claims that United are going to prioritise giving Mainoo a new contract at Old Trafford, following the closure of the transfer window, where at one point Chelsea were linked with a move for him. Amorim is pushing the club’s hierarchy to find an agreement, as he sees the midfielder as a key part of his plans going forward.

Mainoo currently earns just £20,000 a week at United, and the Premier League side are aware he needs to be rewarded, given his rise in the first team and for England. Giving Mainoo a new contract is at the top of United’s agenda, and the player himself is keen to get a pay rise to £200,000 a week if he is to sign a new contract at Old Trafford.

United consider it unthinkable to sell Mainoo in the summer and, given how important he’s become to Amorim in recent weeks, a significant pay increase may need to happen if United want to retain him. The 19-year-old has been a regular starter for United this season when fit and available, and in the last few games, Amorim has decided to play him in a more advanced role, which has looked to suit his game despite the side’s poor form.

Amorim may still have the idea of Mainoo being in the central midfield down the line, but either way, he is keen to keep hold of the Englishman for the long term.
