Since then, he has scored nine further runs. He was dismissed for five in the semi-final against India before Simmons smashed 82 from 51 balls, while Andre Russell scored 43 from 20 to guide their side into Sunday’s showdown with Eoin Morgan’s team in Kolkata on Sunday....

The Senegal international has scored 13 goals in 27 games, and also provided five assists, as Liverpool have mounted a strong challenge for Champions League qualification. Klopp confirms Mane’s season is over The Reds sit third with seven games to play and only six points separate the Reds and Arsenal, who lie in fifth. The 24-year-old sustained a horrible-looking knee injury against Everton earlier this month, however, and Jurgen Klopp’s men drew 2-2 with Bournemouth on Wednesday in their first match without Mane....

Kane is two goals clear in the race for the Golden Boot, the England captain having fired the Three Lions into their first semi-final since 1990. Croatia have needed penalties to get through the last two rounds against Denmark and hosts Russia whereas England swept Sweden aside. But having seen Croatia hold off Argentina superstar Lionel Messi and Denmark talisman Eriksen, conceding once in those two games, Dalic is optimistic they can do the same against Kane....

The records race evoked such immortal names as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Ted Williams, reminding fans of why baseball remains America’s mythic sport. The “field of dreams” is deeply interwoven in this country’s culture, as a new book, “October 1964,” by David Halberstam, and a forthcoming PBS series, “Baseball,” by “Civil War” creator Ken Burns, remind us. So it wasn’t really surprising that, even with the strike imminent and the fans....

India lost by eight wickets as England rode on Joe Root’s 13th ODI century to chase down a target of 257 in 44.3 overs last night. The series ended 2-1 in the home team’s favour. “We started poorly. As the series has gone on we have improved. It is a benefit of playing a bilateral series,” Morgan said in the post-match press conference. “That constant improvement has been brilliant since Trent Bridge....

Nani got the opener in the 31st minute of the contest, but Birkir Bjarnason restored parity for Iceland in the second half. But it were Portugal who had more possession and shots on target. “We dominated the match, we were superior and played better football,” Nani said. The 29-year-old praised Iceland who were physically strong and troubled Portugal with long balls. “But Iceland are a tough team, a very physically strong team....

All India Football Federation is hosting a quadrangular tournament – Intercontinental Cup – at the Mumbai Football Arena here in June. Apart from the host nation, South Africa, New Zealand and Chinese Taipei will be in the fray. Asked about the tournament, he said, “I don’t know what will be the result, but we have to play with stronger opposition as well as those who are little below us. In our time also, long back, we lost 1-0 to New Zealand....

Neymar, 26, has been linked with a move to Madrid after spending just one season at Ligue 1 winners PSG, the club he joined from Barcelona. Carvajal said he would welcome the Brazil international to the Santiago Bernabeu if Madrid president Florentino Perez was eager to sign the star forward. “If he was born to play in Madrid, I don’t know,” he told Cadena SER. “Madrid always want the best in the world....

“The teams (like Rajasthan Royals) which are in a situation where they have to win each game can be dangerous. We would be playing with full intensity. We know we are a couple of games ahead but we don’t want to be in a situation where we need to scrape through in last games. We will not be complacent,” Fleming said at pre-match press conference. CSK are currently at second spot with 14 points from 10 matches....

Each NFL season we partner with UFCollective to utilize their actuarial-base projections to cross-reference with themes and trends affecting DraftKings ownership to make SN’s calls. We’ll speculate on how the masses will likely attack their lineup on DraftKings. Now, let’s dissect the Week 1 main slate.

The most obvious indicator of a sleeper comes with a great matchup against a bad defense. Another thing to look at is a temporary uptick in opportunity that your leaguemates may not be privy to. This week, we see Jimmy G, Jamaal Williams, and Chris Herndon included in our list. No, they won’t be relied on for much of the course of the year, but each week is its own mini-season, and all three are in good spots this week....

I absolutely love betting during the first few week of the season, as we can find some excellent value betting for or against teams that the public is too high (or low) on, such as the Browns, Raiders, and Bills. Kicking things off we have a rematch of an NFC Divisional Round tilt between the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles and 2017’s Super Bowl runner-up Falcons. There is a huge edge to be had in this game following the news that Eagles QB Carson Wentz will be out as he continues his recovery from an ACL injury....

It often makes owners leery of both players in a timeshare, but, apparently, the Fantasy Source experts aren't worried about several RBBC backs this week, tabbing four different guys as "sleepers" in the Week 11 Expert Picks.

Reed’s departure will make Vernon Davis the new TE1 in Washington, and there’s a good chance that he could work into starter territory in a favorable matchup with the Jaguars. The Jaguars haven’t performed well against TEs in recent weeks, and Davis should see a fair amount of targets from new QB Josh Johnson. That makes him a potential top-10 option.

Peterson isn’t the only one holding our RB rankings hostage. Several other noteworthy backs, including Jonathan Stewart, T.J. Yeldon, Denard Robinson, LeSean McCoy, Karlos Williams, and Shaun Draughn, are dealing with injuries that could limit them for fantasy championship week. Here are the latest updates.
