India’s tail added valuable runs with only Anderson and Robinson posing a threat for England

Sidharth Monga06-Aug-20213:07

KL Rahul – ‘I wanted to go out there and challenge myself’

Ravindra Jadeja pulled out his sword celebration, Jasprit Bumrah hit a six and also his top score in Tests, Mohammed Shami displayed text-book defensive pushes, and Mohammed Siraj had some fun too as India’s much-maligned lower order took them into a position of strength, a first-innings lead of 95 runs, in the Trent Bridge Test. Not before KL Rahul added 27 to his already fine overnight 57.Rain, though, frustrated them as only 49.2 overs of cricket was possible on the third day, England playing out the 11.1 bowled to them without the loss of a wicket. India now have a maximum of 196 overs to force a result in.Not long ago, in the World Test Championship final in the same country but against a different opponent, India lost their seventh wicket on 205, the same score as here, but lost the remaining three for 12 runs. Then the last four added 28 in the second innings. The difference in two lower orders – home ones generally tend to outscore their opponents – was believed to be the difference between the two sides leading into the series.Then Ben Stokes pulled out. Suddenly England didn’t have the depth either in their batting or bowling. India ran through their lower order, and batted against an attack whose fourth and final bowler was Sam Curran. And Stuart Broad was having a second consecutive off day. A combination of better resolve from the batters, less incisive change-up bowlers, and some luck – three dropped catches and five missed run-outs in all – meant India enjoyed being at the other end of three frustrating lower-order stands, worth 73 in all.That in mind, James Anderson and Ollie Robinson did well – splitting nine wickets between them, including a maiden five-for for Robinson – to keep the lead down to two figures.The day began precariously amid rain breaks. India were 58 behind with Rahul and Rishabh Pant in the middle. Pant was going to play his shots. And so he did. A few came off before he chipped one to short cover to de dismissed for 25 off 20. Along the way he became India’s highest run-getter in Tests this year.Rahul nearly ran Jadeja out when he was four, but Dan Lawrence felt he had less time than he actually did. Instead of lobbing the ball to the wicketkeeper, he went for the direct hit and missed. Jadeja then went on to show why he has been among the best Test allrounders in the world since 2018 and why he provides India the flexibility to play five bowlers.A little sun and plenty of rain make for a dramatic scene at Trent Bridge•Getty Images

Rahul and Jadeja came together with India still 38 behind, and given the tail behind them they needed a big stand to retain the advantage in the Test. They added 60 runs and also saw off the most testing spell of the day when Anderson and Robinson bowled together. Joe Root dropped Rahul off Anderson during this period, but two boundaries later, Anderson produced a thinner edge to have him caught by the keeper. By then, India were in the lead, and Rahul had once again adapted to a new role – remember he was now being looked at as a middle-order batter – to make himself a place in the side.Shardul Thakur fell for a duck, and India were just 22 ahead with three proverbial Nos 11 to follow. Things were different here, though. The bowling didn’t have that sting for starters. Shami chose to play sensibly, and it came off too. In a 25-ball partnership, Jadeja manipulated the strike to face 22 and scored 24 off them.Jadeja fell trying to hit Robinson over the field that had come up for the last ball of the over, but England still couldn’t get the swift end they were after. Anderson himself proceeded to drop Shami. Bumrah batted with steely resolve. Shanks cleared the infield, and the better ones came right off the middle. He even hit Curran for a stunningly flat pulled six.By the time Robinson took his fifth, and India’s last, wicket, England had been kept in the field for 84.5 overs. Curran bowled only 15 of those, and Broad went at 3.5 an over. India were going to operate with a more evenly spread-out attack.However, in the few overs that were possible before rain ended the day’s play prematurely, the pitch looked a little settled. It was also evident from how India operated with just two slips and a gully. India still drew 11 mistakes in that period, which means it was not a flatbed. Eyes were also on the overheads: clouds were expected to bring assistance for India, but rain could deny them the time needed to inflict damage.

Manchester United have had a disastrous start to the 2024/25 campaign. The Red Devils have been disappointing so far this term, and have won just two Premier League games, with one draw and three losses, meaning they sit in 13th place on seven points after six games.

Their victories so far have come against Fulham on the opening day, a 1-0 win at Old Trafford, and a 3-0 away win against struggling Southampton. They also beat Barnsley 7-0 in the Carabao Cup at home.

The poor start to the new season has resulted in Erik ten Hag’s future coming under question. Given the underlying numbers, it is perhaps no surprise United are considering a change.

United’s stats from the 2024/25 season

Ten Hag kept his job last campaign after an FA Cup victory against Manchester City convinced new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his recently-appointed INEOS regime that he was the right man for the job.

Since then, the Dutchman has experienced some devastating results. A late defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex, and 3-0 losses to both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford have not helped his case. The Red Devils dropped points in their first Europa League game, drawing 1-1 at home to FC Twente, and put in a generally poor performance, which has been cause for concern.

It is fair to say that United’s numbers are not exactly a compliment to the manager. Whilst some things are simply not his fault, like the side missing 2.8 big chances per game, according to Sofascore, there are stats which suggest he is not getting the best out of his squad.

Whilst the 13-time Premier League champions have created 10.81xG, as per Understat, they are massively underachieving on their expected goals total, having found the back of the net just five times. They are struggling at home, too, having earned just three points and scored one goal, the joint lowest alongside Southampton.

Ratcliffe may well decide that, soon enough, it is time for him to pull the plug on a disastrous start to the campaign, sack Ten Hag and look to salvage the season. In terms of the Dutchman’s replacement, one potential option is Massimiliano Allegri.

Would Allegri be a good replacement?

As he did when he retired in 2013 with David Moyes, Sir Alex Ferguson is believed to have recommended former Juventus boss Allegri to Ratcliffe as a replacement for Ten Hag. That is according to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, who claim the legendary manager views the Italian as his ‘preferred choice’.

Allegri’s most recent role was at Juventus, his second spell at the Turin giants, having previously managed them between 2014 and 2019. He left the Allianz Stadium for the second time at the end of last season, after guiding them to victory in the Coppa Italia final.

Described as a “defence first” coach by football analyst Ben Mattinson, the Italian prefers to set up his side in five at the back formation, with wing-backs, or a back three with wide midfielders, depending on which way it is interpreted.

Systems like this are not all just defensive systems, something that is a common footballing myth; that has been dispelled by Simone Inzgahi’s Inter side and Thomas Tuchel’s Champions League-winning Chelsea side.

However, Allegri does tend to set up his side in a defensive way, looking to not concede goals as a primary objective, rather than score goals. As per Sofascore, his Juve side scored 54 goals and conceded just 31 in Serie A last term, keeping 17 clean sheets in total.

This is certainly a set-up from which United could benefit. Last term, they conceded 58 goals and an average of 1.5 per game. They also conceded a whooping 550 shots, as per Statmuse.

This more defensive approach from the Italian has led to comparisons to former United boss Jose Mourinho. The legendary Portuguese manager is also renowned for his pragmatic football and is famed for his Chelsea side winning the Premier League in 2004/05, conceding just 15 goals all season.

It was certainly a comparison that the manager appreciated back in March 2023. When discussing the fact the two have been compared, Allegri said “if I associate myself with him, I’m very happy”.

Whether or not this approach is what United needs at the moment remains to be seen. However, given the fast-paced, counter-attacking football the Red Devils faithful became accustomed to during Ferguson’s reign, it may not go down too well with the crowd.

With that being said, the judgement of their legendary manager may well be considered by Ratcliffe, as he looks to find the perfect man to lead the Red Devils.

It may not have worked out too well for Mourinho at United – as he lasted just over two years – yet the current Fenerbahce boss did still claim two major trophies, with the hope that Allegri could achieve similar results in the Old Trafford dugout.

Man Utd can appoint Ten Hag upgrade who has a "better win rate than Slot"

He would be well-received by the fans

A alta expectativa sobre a compra da SAF do Botafogo chegou até nos jogadores – neste caso, um torcedor dentro de campo. O lateral-direito Rafael mostrou ansiedade com a operação liderada por John Textor em entrevista nesta terça-feira antes do “Jogo das Estrelas”, no Estádio Luso-Brasileiro.

Vale lembrar que, com o pré-contrato firmado, o processo para que o Botafogo tenha o departamento de futebol, de fato, profissionalizado pode durar até 120 dias mediante as operações burocráticas.

Desde que Rafael chegou, no meio da temporada, outro nome comentado nos bastidores do Nilton Santos é o de Fábio, seu irmão gêmeo. O camisa 7 afirmou que a tendência é que o lateral-esquerdo continue no futebol francês por mais tempo.

–Conversamos sim. Meu irmão está bem lá agora, no time dele (Nantes), está na 7ª, 8º colocação… São 20 anos que o time não vai para a Europa League e agora tem chance de ir. É tranquilidade, deixar ele ter a cabeça boa. Acho que o contrato dele vai renovar automaticamente pela quantidade de jogos. Isso é com ele, não comigo – explicou.

Jamie Porter and Sam Cook share seven wickets in devastating new-ball spell

ECB Reporters' Network05-Sep-2021Paul Walter hit his fourth LV= Insurance Championship half-century of the season as Essex eked out a painstaking 74-run lead on a sun-baked Chelmsford day when 15 wickets fell.The tall left-hander was the only batsmen to get to grips with a worn pitch on which Gloucestershire were bowled out for a paltry 76 in 28 overs before lunch. Gloucestershire were undone in double-quick time as seamer Jamie Porter marked his 100th first-class appearance with 4 for 32, supported in a blistering opening spell by Sam Cook, who claimed 3 for 27.Division Two leaders Essex started in similar downbeat mode until Walter stepped in. By the close of the first day he had reached 71 not out from 189 balls.Gloucestershire, put in, were soon in trouble. Porter had Miles Hammond and Ben Charlesworth pinned lbw in successive overs. Cook then removed James Beacey and Tom Lace with consecutive balls, Bracey edging an outswinger and Lace misjudging one and losing his off stump.A third wicket in nine balls fell without addition when Chris Dent edged to second slip. He was soon followed by Graeme van Buuren, who left one from Cook that jagged back and removed his off stump.Ryan Higgins adopted an aggressive approach, but lost seventh-wicket partner Ollie Price, who slashed wildly to fourth slip for Porter’s fourth scalp. Simon Harmer took just three overs to wrap up the Gloucestershire innings taking the final three wickets for just two runs. Zafar Khan swept to square leg, Higgins was snaffled at short leg to end a 60-ball 25, and David Payne was bowled pushing forward.The procession of wickets continued at the start of Essex’s reply: it took 30 overs to post their first 50, by which time they were four wickets down.Nick Browne wafted at Payne in the third over while Alastair Cook went seven overs later when trapped in front by Higgins for 15. Tom Westley departed lbw for a 38-ball 2 and Michael Pepper tickled a lifter from Payne.Walter and Josh Rymell steadied the ship for 16 overs before tea, but four balls after the break Zafar turned one sharply and found the edge of Rymell’s bat.Walter had taken 20 balls to get off the mark, but quietly eased Essex into the lead He was joined by Adam Wheater (30 not out) in an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 75 that threatened to take the game away from the visitors.

Aston Villa are keeping a close eye on an overseas player because director of football Monchi is a big fan and has been for some time, according to a new report.

It has been a good start to the 2024/25 season for the Villans, but there will be disappointment that they couldn’t hold on to all three points against Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon. However, Unai Emery and co. will be putting all their focus on their two massive games, as they face Bayern Munich and Manchester United this week.

Aston Villa are keeping an eye on a player who plays for a club that they have a previous relationship with.

Posts ByBrett Worthington Sep 30, 2024 Aston Villa transfer news

The season is very much starting to heat up, and all focus will be on the games as they come thick and fast, but like many other clubs, Aston Villa also seem to have their eye on the transfer business they may wish to conclude in 2025.

The Midlands side are said to be interested in signing Alex Baena from Villarreal, a player who Emery worked with when he was in charge of the Spanish team. The 23-year-old broke into the first team during Emery’s time at the club, and he has impressed a lot this season, so much so that Emery is keen to bring him to England.

As well as looking to sign Baena, Villa are among the teams tracking Bristol Rovers’ young star Kofi Shaw. The 17-year-old has burst onto the scene at the Memorial Stadium this season, featuring a handful of times, and his performances have caught the attention of Villa, Leeds United, and Southampton.

Aston Villa are keeping a close eye on a £5.5m Atletico starlet

According to TBR Football, Aston Villa are closely monitoring Atletico Madrid’s Samuel Lino. Emery is keen to improve his options on the left-hand side, as Lino is capable of playing as an attacker as well as a wing-back.

The report states that Lino is one that Villa are seriously keeping a close eye on, as Monchi has tracked the player ever since he moved to Atlético Madrid in 2022. The La Liga side is said to have paid 6.5m euros to sign Lino at the time, which is roughly £5.5 million.

The Brazilian started his football career at São Bernardo before moving to Flamengo under-20s on loan. Lino then joined Gil Vicente in Portugal in 2019 before he joined Atlético three years later. The 24-year-old signed a five-year contract when he joined the Spanish giants, meaning his deal runs out in the summer of 2027.

Lino spent his first season at Atlético being sent out on loan to Valencia, where he scored eight goals and recorded three assists in 41 appearances in all competitions. That loan has helped him break into the Atlético team, and it seems that Villa could now be ready to make a move thanks to Monchi’s affection.

It has been revealed what Paul Mitchell told Newcastle United staff during an early summer meeting which didn’t involve Eddie Howe, following reported issues surrounding their relationship.

Rumoured Mitchell and Howe feud at Newcastle

The Magpies may have picked up a credible 1-1 draw at home to Manchester City in the Premier League last weekend, bouncing back after the 3-1 defeat away to Fulham, but all is not well away from the pitch at St James’ Park currently.

The relationship between sporting director Mitchell and manager Howe is believed to be strained, to put it lightly, with the pair failing to see eye to eye amid issues regarding Newcastle’s summer transfer business, almost taking little public digs at one another.

It has been claimed recently that the transfer guru could lose his job before the manager, should push come to shove among the board, but there has also been some hope that clear-the-air talks would rectify the issues between them.

Newcastle’s performances on the pitch have been below-par this season, even though their points tally is relatively healthy, and it could certainly be argued that the Mitchell and Howe situation isn’t helping matters at all, failing to bring a togetherness between two of the most high-profile figures at the club.

Fresh Mitchell and Howe revelation at Newcastle

According to a new report from Football Insider, Mitchell told Newcastle staff that he was in charge instead of Howe when he arrived in his role during the summer, in what represents something of a bombshell revelation.

It is claimed that those involved in the meeting were left “stunned” by the former Monaco sporting director’s comments, with the update adding that Howe being absent from the meeting “raised red flags among the staff, with many beginning to question who was truly in charge at St James’ Park”.

This has done little to ease the tension at Newcastle at the moment, at a time when the club desperately need everyone to be pulling in the same direction. As mentioned, the Magpies’ seventh-place position in the Premier League suggests that things are running relatively smoothly, but their unconvincing displays mean they could easily be lower in the table, having arguably been outplayed by the likes of Wolves and Tottenham.

It’s hard to argue against the notion that Newcastle would be performing better if Mitchell and Howe were enjoying a strong working relationship, much like the manager did with former sporting director Dan Ashworth before he moved to Manchester United instead.

In terms of Mitchell’s comments, it is an extremely bold and reckless approach upon arriving at the club, hinting that that he was looking to win the power battle from minute one, but the reaction of the staff involved suggests that his comments didn’t go down too well.

Saved by Hall: Howe must immediately drop 6/10 Newcastle star

He didn’t offer much against Man City in the Premier League…

ByAngus Sinclair Sep 29, 2024

These coming weeks feel pivotal at Newcastle, and if Mitchell and Howe cannot come to a truce, it is surely only a matter of time before one is relieved of their duties.

On a day that India were bowled out for 78 before conceding 120 for no loss, India’s wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was in no mood to look back at the decision to bat first at the toss. It is not what you choose to do, but how you do it, according to Pant. And he would like “much better application” in that how.This was the first time Virat Kohli had won the toss in England in eight Tests, but he faced a tricky decision because the pitch looked brown although recent data at Headingley suggests batting keeps on getting easier there after a tough first day or so.England extracted more swing and seam with the new ball than they have done all series before the “tacky” pitch, according to Joe Root, settled down. Root said he was unsure what to do so he was happy to lose his first toss to Kohli at home.Related

“Whatever decision we take, we take as a team,” Pant said. “So once we have decided we are going to bat first, we are going to back our decision. Yes we could have applied much better but we can’t keep on thinking too much about the toss.”It’s part and parcel of the game. Everyday the batting unit is giving its 100% but sometimes it doesn’t go well. In the morning, the wicket was slightly on the softer side and they bowled in good areas. We could have applied ourselves better. We can learn from it and only move on. That’s all we can do as cricketers. You learn from your mistakes and improve.”Pant said the conditions got much easier by the time India began to bowl. “They took the heavy roller, the wicket was much more settled down, and they batted nicely also,” he said. “But when we batted, the wicket was slightly soft, and they bowled in good areas, but we could have applied [ourselves] much better…”Rishabh Pant takes in some sun in the company of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul•Associated Press

India are making a highly enterprising selection by batting Pant at No. 6 in a batting line-up whose big guns have been struggling for runs. Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane have been averaging in the 20s over the last two years, which means Pant has been called upon to perform the rescue act more often than a wicketkeeper-batter likes. Pant looks at it more as an opportunity than pressure.”As a cricketer, I don’t think in that manner.” Pant said. “Whatever be the situation, you think about the team first and what you can do in that situation… if the top-order collapses and you get an opportunity, I see it as an opportunity that if you can bail the team out of that situation, you are going to do wonders in your life, as a cricketer.”
