Five overs of mayhem

Five overs, six wickets. England’s startling collapse at Lord’s

This was a regular sight in the opening five overs•Getty Images

0.5 Rabada to Roy, OUT, got him, steered to slip! Amla holds on this time, low down as a thick edge lobbed off the bat… Another single-figure score for Roy, who was drawn forward by a demanding line, the ball nibbling away down the Lord’s slope and sending England’s tub-thumping opener back to the changing rooms with a whimper1.5 Parnell to Root, OUT, trapped in front! Parnell beats him past the inside edge, booming swing – and England are two down! Lovely shape on that delivery, which started outside off and curled back in as Root aimed a punch down the ground. No hesitation from Michael Gough and it looked pretty plumb3.6 Parnell to Morgan, OUT, lovely bowling, Morgan gone! Parnell is enjoying the famously moribund juicy Lord’s surface, curving the ball away and kissing the outside edge, giving a simple catch to de Kock. Morgan’s brief sally is over and England are wheezing in North Weezy4.1 Rabada to Hales, OUT, England continue to attack… and SA continue to capitalise! Pitched up in the channel, Hales drives and Amla this time tumbles to his left to snap up another catch. A second for Rabada and England are tottering like an MCC member after a day on the port. Somehow that was only Hales’ ball… One he’ll quickly want to forget4.5 Rabada to Buttler, OUT, throws the bat, thick edged to second… England are five down! Superb catch from Faf du Plessis, that went very quickly as Buttler attempted to thrash it through the covers. Not quite as quickly as England are subsiding, but still4.6 Rabada to Rashid, OUT, edged and gone – THIS IS ABSURD!!! Rashid goes for a big, booming drive from his first ball, du Plessis scoops it up low to his left this time… and Rabada is on a hat-trick! Perhaps England are trying to get their shocker out of the way before the Champions Trophy, but this is golden-era awful from a country that knows a fair bit about being rubbish at ODIs

Wolves Could Sign Incredible Kilman Partner At Molineux

Wolverhampton Wanderers remain in talks over the transfer of defender Nico Elvedi, as Julen Lopetegui seeks reinforcements this summer.

The Spaniard has orchestrated a host of sales already this transfer window, as the Old Gold chased Financial Fair Play (FFP) targets, however, the former Real Madrid boss will now turn his attention to incomings.

What’s the latest on Nico Elvedi to Wolves?

As reported by Football Insider last week, Wolves were in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back Elvedi.

The fee in the report was stated at £7.7m, making it a smart piece of business by the club for the experienced defender.

Since the initial reports, German outlet Rheinische Post – relayed by Talking Wolves – claimed that the talks are ongoing with work left to do before a final agreement can be reached.

It’s expected that the Bundesliga side are seeking a replacement for the 26-year-old before sanctioning the move.

How good is Nico Elvedi?

In the defender, Lopetegui could arm his side with a player highly rated in Germany, with 230 Bundesliga appearances under his belt.

Versatile in his playing style, the Switzerland international has been deployed as both a centre-back and full-back within a back three at Borussia-Park, lauded for his contributions to the club’s progress.

Praised for his “incredible composure” by former Monchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl, the commanding presence won 59% of his total duels last season, with an average of four per game, via Sofascore.

For Wolves, it’s integral to recruit a strong central defender this summer, taking into consideration the departure of Nathan Collins and the age of Craig Dawson, 33, who the club must seek an heir for eventually.

nico-elvedi-wolves-target

One positive for the Old Gold is the status of Max Kilman’s future at Molineux, who after interest from Serie A champions Napoli, is expected to remain in the Midlands.

By capturing Elvedi, Lopetegui could find the perfect combination in central defence between the Englishman and the Swiss, who have similar strengths to their game and the ability to form a strong pivot.

The duo both played integral parts in their respective 2022/23 campaigns, with the pair making more than 30 appearances each as their club’s favoured centre-backs.

While Kilman showed his reliability with his 6 foot 4 structure commanding the back line in the Premier League, winning 67.2% of his aerial duels, 6 foot 2 Elvedi proved to be more combative on the ground, highlighted by his 46 players tackled compared to the Englishman’s 36, via FBref.

The Switzerland international with 47 caps could be the perfect addition next to Kilman for the slight differences in their game, with Elvedi recording a mammoth 81 tackles and interceptions to the Wolves ace’s 55, despite playing the same number of league matches (37).

Molineux’s hero bettered the Borussia defender in terms of blocks, making 70 to the Swiss’ 31, as well as making 219 recoveries to his 149, communicating the potential success of their pivot, as per FBref.

The numbers imply that the Bundesliga gem could be a lethal asset in ground duels, while Kilman could be the nominated figure to hold the anchor at the back, making for an incredibly well-balanced partnership in the Midlands.

الكلاسيكو يحسم مصير تشافي مع برشلونة

ودع فريق برشلونة الإسباني، منافسات بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، على يد باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي.

وفشل برشلونة في حجز بطاقة التأهل وتعرض للهزيمة على أرضه في مباراة الإياب أمام باريس سان جيرمان بنتيجة 4-1.

ويستعد برشلونة لخوض مباراة الكلاسيكو أمام ريال مدريد يوم الأحد المقبل في إطار منافسات الدوري الإسباني.

وفقًا لصحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية، فإن خروج برشلونة في وقت أبكر من المتوقع من دوري أبطال أوروبا يعني أن مستقبل تشافي يمكن حله نهائيًا بعد الكلاسيكو.

وكان تشافي أعلن في يناير الماضي أنه سيغادر منصبه كمدير فني للفريق بنهاية الموسم الجاري، ولن يستمر مدربًا لبرشلونة.

وبحسب التقرير برشلونة سيحسم مستقبل تشافي بعد الكلاسيكو أمام ريال مدريد، وإذا تعرض الفريق للهزيمة ستتخذ إدارة برشلونة بقيادة خوان لابورتا، قرارًا بشأن مستقبل المدرب.

لابورتا تمسك باستمرارية تشافي وبحسب التقارير الواردة، تسعى إدارة النادي لإقناعه بالاستمرار في منصبه، لكن توديع دوري الأبطال والهزيمة المحتملة في الكلاسيكو قد تغير من قرار إدارة برشلونة.

وارتبط برشلونة بأسماء مثل رافا ماركيز مدرب فريق الشباب، وتوماس توخيل مدرب بايرن ميونخ، وهانز فليك مدرب ألمانيا السابق، وروبرتو دي زيربي مدرب برايتون.

ويحتل برشلونة المركز الثاني في ترتيب الدوري الإسباني خلف المتصدر ريال مدريد بفارق 8 نقاط.

Inspired Archer heads Sussex revival

Six wickets for Jofra Archer, to go with the five he took in the first innings, left Sussex favourites to win their Specsavers Division Two championship match against Leicestershire at the Fischer County Ground

A six wicket haul for Jofra Archer, to go with the five he took in the first innings, left Sussex favourites to win their Specsavers Division Two championship match against Leicestershire at the Fischer County Ground.Needing 234 to win, the visitors closed the third day on 100 for 2, Leicestershire seamer Ben Raine having dismissed Sussex openers Harry Finch, bowled, and Chris Nash caught behind.The 22-year-old fast bowler Archer shouldered the burden for a Sussex attack deprived of the services of South Africa international seamer Vernon Philander, who rolled an ankle in the field during the morning session.With fellow South African David Wiese unable to bowl more than a handful of overs due to a stomach strain, Archer (6-70) and left-arm spinner Danny Briggs (3-40) produced outstanding efforts to give their side a good chance of securing a second successive championship win.The morning session had seen Barbados-born Archer have Paul Horton caught behind off a brutal lifter and pin Ned Eckersley leg before with a well-pitched up delivery which beat the batsman for pace.Colin Ackermann was given out caught behind down the legside off Chris Jordan, but the biggest blow for the home side was the loss of in-form captain Mark Cosgrove, who went back to a delivery from Briggs, missed and was palpably leg before.Shortly after lunch Pettini got his bat down on an Archer yorker but was unable to prevent the ball rolling back on to his off-stump. Another quick, straight bouncer then accounted for Harry Dearden, the ball flicking the batsman’s glove on its way through to the wicket-keeper.Briggs dismissed Tom Wells in extraordinary fashion, putting up his right hand and deflecting a firmly hit lofted straight drive into the air for Archer, at mid-on, to take a simple catch.Raine edged a straight delivery from Briggs into the hands of Jordan at slip, and Clint McKay, having been horribly dropped by Wiese off Briggs, edged Archer into the slips where Finch held a smart low catch to his left.Leicestershire’s final pairing of Dieter Klein and Zak Chappell then fought hard to extend the Foxes lead to 241 before Klein was yorked by Archer.Earlier in the day, Philander and Briggs extended their tenth wicket partnership to 83, a county record for Sussex against Leicestershire, eclipsing the 80 compiled by John Vinsett and Harry Butt at Aylestone Road in 1909.

Levy In Close Contact Over Spurs Move For "Unbelievable" £1.2m-p/w Star

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has been in close contact with Paris Saint-Germain over a potential deal for Kylian Mbappe, according to a recent report from MARCA.

What's the latest on Kylian Mbappe's future?

Mbappe has not been included in PSG's squad for their upcoming pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea, with the French side making it clear that no player is more important than the club, and his future now appears to be in major doubt.

The 24-year-old seemingly has his sights set on a move to Real Madrid, with the same report detailing that he is prepared to sit out the entire 2023-24 campaign to seal a move to the Bernabeu on a free transfer, but the Spanish side are not the only potential suitors.

Saudi Arabian side Al HIlal are one of the clubs interested in signing the Frenchman, having already made contact with PSG to discuss a deal, with other reports claiming they have offered him an eye-watering £173.2m deal to join the club.

According to a report from MARCA, a whole host of Premier League clubs are also interested in signing the PSG star, including Manchester United, who would be keen on completing a deal regardless of whether they are taken over by Qatari owners.

Chelsea are also named as potential suitors, however their very delicate financial situation is currently being watched by UEFA, and they need to sell more players to balance the books before they can think about pursuing a move for the France international.

Spurs are one of the other Premier League clubs given a mention, with Levy allegedly having been in close contact with the PSG owners for quite some time, because the French champions were one of the teams to ask about Harry Kane.

Who is Kylian Mbappe signing for?

A move to Saudi Arabia would certainly raise a few eyebrows, however it could be hard to resist a package of £172.3m, with a number of other European players being tempted by a move to the up-and-coming Saudi Pro League this summer.

However, Real Madrid reportedly hold all the cards in the race to sign the former AS Monaco man, who has already made his mind up about moving to the Spanish capital, with an agreement already said to be in place.

As such, a move to Tottenham does not seem like a likely eventuality, particularly considering they do not have European football of any description on offer next season, which is likely to make it very difficult to lure the £1.2m-per-week superstar.

PSG's Kylian Mbappe

Of course, if Levy did somehow manage to pull off a deal for the attacker, he would undoubtedly be an excellent addition to the squad, in light of his performances for both club and country over the past few years.

Lauded as "unbelievable" by Fabrizio Romano, Mbappe is already PSG's all-time leading goalscorer, having found the back of the net on 212 occasions for the French champions, and he now has 12 goals to his name at the World Cup.

جوميز: أحب طريقة لاعب الزمالك.. ويجب إظهار الوجه الحقيقي أمام دريمز

تحدث البرتغالي جوزيه جوميز المدير الفني لنادي الزمالك، عن مواجهة دريمز الغاني التي تجمع بينهما مساء غد الأحد، في بطولة الكونفدرالية الإفريقية.

ويلتقي الزمالك مع دريمز، على ملعب استاد القاهرة الدولي، في ذهاب دور نصف النهائي من بطولة الكونفدرالية.

وقال جوميز خلال تصريحات في المؤتمر الصحفي للمباراة: “سنواجه فريقًا قويًا فنيًا وبدنيًا، وعلينا أن نظهر الوجه الحقيقي لنا في مباراة الغد، وأتوقع أن يلعب المنافس بنفس طريقته المعتادة في اللقاء، وستكون المباراة صعبة”.

وواصل: “الزمالك استعد للقاء دريمز مثل أي مباراة يخوضها، والفريق أغلق ملف مباراة القمة، وفي كرة القدم يجب أن ننظر للمباراة المقبلة لأنها مهمة، ومباراة الأهلي بالنسبة لنا هي جزء من الماضي، ونركز في لقاء الغد، وأمامنا تحدي جديد في الكونفدرالية”.

وأكمل: “الزمالك مطالب بالتركيز في جميع أوقات المباراة لاستغلال نقاط الضعف في المنافس واستغلال كافة الفرص التي ستسنح للفريق في اللقاء، الجماهير ستدعمنا ولأننا فريق كبير ولدينا تاريخ كبير، لابد أن نقاتل في اللقاء من أجل تحقيق الفوز، وإذا فكر الزمالك في أفضليته على فريق دريمز قبل المباراة قد يخسر اللقاء، وعلينا احترام المنافس لأننا نواجه فريقاً قوياً”.

وأوضح: “هناك لاعبون شاركوا بصورة أساسية في مباراة الأهلي السابقة لن يشاركوا معنا في مباراة الغد، منهم أحمد مصطفى “زيزو” فهو لاعب شجاع جدًا، ولكن لديه مشكلة في الأنكل ونأمل في عودته سريعًا”.

وواصل: “أحمد فتوح تعرض لإصابة في مباراة الأهلي وكان يرغب في مواصلة اللقاء ولكن إصابته خفيفة وهو خارج مباراة الغد وسيعود سريعاً للفريق”.

وأتم: “أحب الطريقة التي لعب بها ترافيس موتيابا، لقد حصل على فرصة مع الفريق وأثبت نفسه وإذا احتاجه الفريق في لقاء الغد سيكون جاهزًا”.

حكم قضائي ضد مشجع لـ مانشستر يونايتد بسبب ليفربول

أصدرت المحكمة حكمًا، اليوم الإثنين، تجاه أحد مشجعي مانشستر يونايتد بعد السخرية من ليفربول في شهر مارس من العام الحالي.

وواجه ليفربول نظيره مانشستر يونايتد، في ربع نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي، في شهر مارس الماضي حيث خسرت كتيبة يورجن كلوب بنتيجة 4-3.

وشوهد أحد مشجعي مانشستر يونايتد، ويُدعى مايكل برنارد أفيري، في مقطع فيديو وهو يقوم بمحاكاة كارثة هيلزبره التي أودت بحياة 97 من مشجعي ليفربول عام 1989 قبل نصف نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي ضد نوتينجهام فورست.

وبدأت الشرطة تحقيقًا، وأقر أفيري لاحقًا بالذنب في جريمة تتعلق بالنظام العام في محكمة سالفورد الجزئية اليوم بعد أن سلم نفسه.

وقد تم فرض أمر حظر عليه لمدة ثلاث سنوات وغرامات يبلغ مجموعها 1.205 جنيه إسترليني.

وقال أفيري، الذي يعمل في صناعة البناء للمحكمة: “أريد فقط أن أكرر أنني آسف بشدة وأنني نادم حقًا على ما فعلته، أشعر بالخجل والإحراج”.

وأضاف: “من الواضح أن كل من يعرفني قد شعر بهذا أيضًا، إنه مجرد وضع صعب، أتمنى لو لم يحدث ذلك أبدًا، ويؤسفني ذلك بشدة”.

وواصل: “أتمنى أن ينظر الآخرون إلى ما حدث لي وأن يفكروا مرتين قبل أن يفعلوا أي شيء في مباريات كرة القدم”.

وقال كبير المفتشين جيمي كولينز: “في أعقاب المخاوف المفهومة التي أثيرت عبر الإنترنت بعد مشاركة الفيديو لأفعال أفيري، أجرينا تحقيقًا في هذا الأمر لضمان تحقيق العدالة”.

وأضاف: “نحن مستمرون في اتخاذ إجراءات استباقية ضد المتورطين في هذا النوع من السلوك الذي يستهدف معاناة الضحايا والمشجعين المتأثرين بمآسي كرة القدم الرهيبة في الماضي”.

واختتم: “لن يتم التسامح مع أي نوع من الإيماءات أو التعليقات المتعلقة بالهتاف المأساوي وهو أمر غير مقبول على الإطلاق”.

Dusan Vlahovic: Fabrizio Romano Says Chelsea In Transfer Talks

Chelsea are thought to be back in talks over a move to sign Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

What’s the latest Chelsea transfer news?

The Blues have once again been busy in the transfer market after spending over €600m on new players during the 2022/23 campaign.

Mauricio Pochettino is the new man in charge at Stamford Bridge, and the Argentine has brought in Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson and Angelo from RB Leipzig, Villarreal and Santos respectively.

Nkunku’s arrival was already in the pipeline before Pochettino was named as manager, however further additions look to be on the cards before the September 1 deadline in what looks likely to be a busy month both on and off the pitch.

Read The Latest Chelsea Transfer News HERE…

Chelsea are believed to have agreed a deal to sign Rennes midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, although it is yet to be decided whether the 19-year-old will go into Pochettino's squad or go out on loan.

Meanwhile, a £38m deal has been agreed with Monaco to sign France defender Axel Disasi, and Romano has revealed that the Blues have also made a formal bid to sign goalkeeper Robert Sanchez from Brighton.

Alongside the pair, another new attacker could be on the cards in Vlahovic, as owner Todd Boehly once again goes into transfer overdrive.

Are Chelsea signing Dusan Vlahovic?

Romano took to Twitter in the last 48 hours to share an update he's heard on Vlahovic and Chelsea. He said that talks are back on through intermediaries, with a swap deal involving Blues striker Romelu Lukaku being spoken about.

“Chelsea are now back in talks again with Juventus through intermediaries — swap deal between Romelu Lukaku & Dusan Vlahovic has been discussed again.

“Chelsea will discuss Vlahovic internally as this option has been rejected in July.”

Juventus centre-forward Dusan Vlahovic.

This isn’t the first time Chelsea have been linked with a move for Vlahovic, with journalist Dean Jones previously stating that conversations have already happened.

"I know some people are ruling out of Vlahovic and they say that nothing is happening there. But Vlahovic has definitely been explored by Chelsea and conversations have definitely happened in terms of that.

"The fact that they are even contemplating that, tells you they're tempted to go and sign another striker by the end of this transfer window."

Vlahovic, on a £215,000-a-week salary in Turin, has been dubbed a “goal machine” by football talent scout Jacek Kulig. The Serbia international is just 23 years of age but has already made over 170 appearances in all competitions for Fiorentina and Juventus, scoring 72 goals.

The left-footed forward also has 13 goals in 21 games for his country, so he could be the kind of striker Chelsea have been crying out for to potentially play alongside the likes of Nkunku and Jackson, especially after being named among the most powerful players in Europe alongside PSG's Kylian Mbappe and Manchester City's Erling Haaland last year.

It looks as if a move could well be one to keep an eye on, and if Chelsea can use Lukaku in a deal, a transfer may not end up costing the Blues Vlahovic’s reported €80m asking price.

Sibley leaves Surrey after Stewart refuses to give guarantees

Dominic Sibley wanted a written assurance that he would bat in thre top three in all three formats – and that was too much for Alec Stewart

David Hopps02-Aug-2017

Dom Sibley’s ambitions have been met by Warwickshire•Getty Images

Dominic Sibley has turned down a new three-year contract at Surrey to join Warwickshire after receiving promises that he would bat in the top order in all three forms of the game.Alec Stewart, Surrey’s director of cricket, admitted that Sibley’s decision was “bitterly disappointing” and stressed that he had a philosophical resistance to giving players guarantees in the unpredictable world of professional sport.Stewart said: “Dom was offered a very good three-year contract but has told me the reason he is leaving is that he feels his opportunities at Warwickshire would be greater, given the written assurances he has received that he will be batting in the top three in all forms of the game next year.”In performance sport, this was not something that I was prepared to do – for him or any of our players – as we will always select the best possible XI for each occasion and it would be wrong to give anyone these guarantees.”We’ve had numerous conversations with Dom and his advisors over the last eleven months and I’m comfortable in knowing that we could not have done any more in showing how much we wanted him to be a big part of this club.”We believe we were moving Dom in the right direction and are bitterly disappointed he has chosen to leave us at this stage of his career.”Warwickshire have not commented on the matter of where Sibley will bat but Ashley Giles, the club’s sport director, welcomed the latest addition to an “exciting young squad” at Edgbaston.”At 21-years-old, Dominic is an outstanding cricketer with England potential, having already scored two first-class centuries whilst also being an accomplished white-ball batsman,” Giles said.”He has a big role to play for the club across all forms of the game and we’re delighted that he has chosen to take this great opportunity to become a Bear and be part of this exciting young squad that we are building.”What is apparent is that Warwickshire are rebuilding an ageing squad with young and somewhat unproven players. Sibley follows Will Rhodes, the former Yorkshire allrounder, who never claimed a regular place at Headingley and Somerset batsman Adam Hose, who was in his breakthrough season.Sibley first played for Surrey at Under-9 level and has since come through the Academy system. In 2013, he became the second-youngest English player – behind WG Grace – to score a first-class double-hundred, when he made 242 against Yorkshire. He was first offered a three-year deal at the end of last season, which remained on the table for the entirety of this summer but has now been turned down.This season, he has played seven of Surrey’s eight Specsavers County Championship matches, averaging 33, with no centuries and four fifties. He started four of the ten games played in the Royal London Cup and has so far played every match of the NatWest T20 Blast campaign.
