The Latin motto of Bangalore’s Bishop Cotton Boys’ School translates to ‘Neither to the left, nor to the right’. During a Pune-Delhi game in this year’s IPL, Rishabh Pant dug out one of Ben Stokes’ dead accurate yorkers towards the fielder at point and set off for what seemed like a harmless single. Mayank Agarwal, an alumnus of the prestigious school, swiftly pounced on the ball, sized up the distance, took aim at the one and a half stumps he could see, and fired in a throw from point....

This was the world number one’s 17th consecutive win to start the year - the best such run of his career - but no previous opponent has tested him like Coric did in California on Saturday.

The Hammers were insipid in the first half at Wembley on Wednesday and deservedly found themselves two goals down at the break after Moussa Sissoko and Dele Alli strikes. Hammers 22/1 to win Carabao Cup Bilic’s side came out for the second period with renewed vigour, though, and produced a stirring fightback, which saw them score three times in just 15 minutes. Two goals from Andre Ayew pulled them level before Angelo Ogbonna thumped a header past Michel Vorm to secure an unlikely win and provide his under-fire manager, who hailed his players’ reaction after half time, with a huge boost....

The Ballon d’Or winner was released from international duty ahead of the friendly meeting on Tuesday and Portugal dearly missed his guile and killer instinct, report the Daily Mail. Odair Fortes and Gege scored the Blue Sharks’ goals before half-time and the dismissal of Portugal defender Andre Pinto on the hour-mark made a comeback even more unlikely. It would not materialise. It was the first time since 1986 that Portugal lost to an African nation, though it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise with Cape Verde up at 37 in the FIFA rankings, above the likes of Scotland and Sweden....
