Neymar's future at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is in doubt as the Brazil superstar is reportedly not happy with the club's treatment. Recently, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi had criticised Neymar demanding more from the forward after a disappointing campaign for the club last season. His comments reportedly didn't go down well with Neymar, who started considering his future at the French club.

PSG reportedly too are ready to let go of Neymar if they receive a suitable offer for the Brazil star, who they signed in 2017 for a world record fee of 222 million Euros making him the world's most expensive footballer. However, Neymar has since failed to live up to the expectations at PSG and has not yet managed to inspire them to their maiden Champions League title.

While reports have claimed both parties are keen on parting ways, PSG's newly-appointed manager Christophe Galtier insisted Neymar is very much in his plans ahead of the new season. Galtier was appointed as the new manager of PSG after the club parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettinho was sacked following PSG's failure to go the distance in the Champions League despite the club having the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria in their lin-up last season. Galtier has joined PSG from French rivals Lille and said he has clear plans for Neymar next season.

"Neymar is a world-class player, what coach wouldn't want him in his squad. We have to find a balance in the team. I have a very clear idea of what I want from him. I haven't met him yet but I want him to stay with us," said Galtier when asked about the speculations surrounding Neymar's future at the club.

Neymar has been linked with several top clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle United in case his future at PSG is not resolved in the near future. It remains to be seen if Galtier will manage to keep hold of Brazil forward or will he push for a move away from the club.

Will Neymar leave PSG this summer? New manager Christophe Galtier responds to speculations

Team India slipped to the fourth spot on the ICC World Test Championship 2021-2023 points table after their seven-wicket loss against England in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. India were considered favourites to win the game ahead of the start of England's second innings in the Test match but an emphatic batting performance for the hosts saw them register a comprehensive win and draw the five-match series 2-2.

England rode on impressive unbeaten centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow to pull off their highest-ever run-chase in Test cricket as they gunned down the target of 379 runs with ease in their second innings. Indian bowlers had absolutely no answers to the brilliance&nbsp;of Bairstow and Root as they struggled to pick wickets resulting in an embarrassing loss for the visitors.

Apart from the average bowling performance in England's second innings, Indian batters had also failed to deliver in their second innings which resulted in the team's humiliating defeat at Edgbaston. Despite dominating the proceedings across the first three days of the Test match, India lost the plot on Day 4 as England batted them out of the game.

With the loss, India also lost the chance to improve their points tally in the World Test Championship points table as they were overtaken by Pakistan at the third spot. India were also docked a couple of points for their slow over-rate in the Edgbaston Test apart from a fine of 40% match fee.

India drop below Pakistan: Updated World Test Championship points table after England win Edgbaston Test

England thrashed India by seven wickets in the rescheduled fifth Test match at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Tuesday (July 05) to deny them a historic Test series win and end the five-match series level on 2-2. England pulled off their highest-ever run-chase in Test cricket to script history on Day 5 of the crucial Test match and also shattered a plethora of other records.

Asked to chase down a huge target of 378 runs in their second innings, England were far from favourites. However, they produced a remarkable batting performance and made the Indian bowling attack toil hard for wickets to register an emphatic win by seven wickets. Riding on centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, England chased down the target without breaking a sweat.

India dominated the proceedings on the first three days as they went on to post a string total of 416 runs on the board in their first innings before skitting out the hosts for 284. India amassed a healthy lead of 132 runs and followed it up with a total of 245 in their second innings to hand England a tricky target of 378 runs to win the game.

England had never chased down more than 360 runs in Test cricket before but Bairstow (114 off 145 balls) and Root (142 off 173 balls) combined to take their team home comfortably. England broke a plethora of records with their dominant win as they managed to draw the five-match series 2-2.

Here is a look at some of the records created by England in the Edgbaston Test against India:

England recorded their highest-ever run-chase in Test cricket by gunning down the 378-run target against India on Tuesday. Their previous highest run-chase in Test cricket was 359 runs against Australia.

378 runs is the highest total chased down by any team against India in Test cricket.

England have now chased down the target of over 250 runs in their last four successive innings and have become the first team to do so.

England's 378-run chase is also the eighth highest run-chase in the history of Test cricket.

England's new agressive and fearless approach seems to be working for them in the longest format as well after they redefinied how white-ball cricket is played under former captain Eoin Morgan. England's new approach which has been fanoulsy labeled as 'Bazz ball' was mocked by many but ended up working in their favour as they had the last laugh at Edgbaston against India.

England script history in Edgbaston: A look at records broken by Stokes & Co. with emphatic win over India

England defeated India by seven wickets in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston on Tuesday (July 05) to deny the visitors a historic Test series victory. England chased down a tricky target of 378 runs with ease riding on centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow. Root and Bairstow slammed respective tons and shared an unbeaten stand of 269 runs for the fourth wicket to take the hosts over the line.

It was an action-packed encounter filled with a lot of drama and emotions as both India and England gave their all in the all-important game. While there were several instances of players sledging each other, England pacer Stuart Broad was on the receiving end of some harsh words from the umpire&nbsp;Richard Kettleborough during England's first innings.

The incident happened when Broad was facing Bumrah during England's second innings and the Indian pacer bowled two back-to-back bouncers against him. Broad ducked the second bouncer which went for a four after flying over Indian wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant's head. He was then spotted having a discussion with the on-field umpire Kettleborough trying to find out if it was a second bouncer for the over.

The umpire had a brief discussion with the England pacer before reprimanding him for his antics. Kettleborough had some harsh words for Broad and was heard on the stump-mic asking him to continue focusing on his batting and not argue.

"Let us do the umpiring, you do the batting, alright?” - said Kettleborough in a video of the incident that has gone viral on social media. "Otherwise, you’re going to get into trouble again. One for the over. Broady, Broady, get on with the batting and shut up," he can be heard saying further as Broad walked back to resume his batting.

WATCH: Umpire tells Stuart Broad to 'shut up' and get on with his batting after his antics against India

An investigation has been launched into allegations of racist abuse aimed at Indian fans during the fourth day of the fifth Test between India and England at Edgbaston, the ECB and Warwickshire County Cricket Club said. Several Indian fans took to Twitter to report the racist behaviour they endured during the fourth day's play on Monday night. They claimed that some British fans hurled racial taunts at them.

Former Yorkshire cricketer Azeem Rafiq, whose testimony to a British parliamentary committee last year led to an investigation into claims of institutional racism at Yorkshire and resulted in major reforms, retweeted some of the social media posts describing the racist behaviour. "Disappointing to read," he wrote.

The official Edgbaston Twitter account responded to Rafiq's tweet saying: "We're incredible sorry to read this and do not condone this behaviour in anyway. We'll be investigating this ASAP."

Warwickshire later released a statement, stating they are investigating the incident. "I'm gutted by these reports as we're working hard to make Edgbaston a safe, welcoming environment for all," Stuart Cain, Chief Executive at Edgbaston said.

"Having seen the initial tweets, I've spoken personally to the gentleman who raised them and we're now speaking to the stewards in this area to establish what happened.

"Nobody should be subject to any form of abuse at Edgbaston. So, once we've got all the facts, we will make sure this issue is addressed swiftly," the statement added.

One spectator, who was in the Hollies Stand, alleged that the stewards refused to take any action despite several complaints.

"Racist behaviour at @Edgbaston towards Indian fans in block 22 Eric Hollies. People calling us Curry C**** and paki b*******. We reported it to the stewards and showed them the culprits at least 10 times but no response and all we were told is to sit in our seats. @ECB_cricket."

"Sad to say many of our members experienced racist abuse from a very small minority of individuals. We will work with @Edgbaston to share all your feedback.

We are in contact with colleagues at Edgbaston who will investigate. There is no place for racism in cricket," ECB tweeted.

Warwickshire to investigate racial abuse charge by Indian fans on day 4 of Edgbaston

Not many had given England a chance at the start of their second innings in the rescheduled fifth Test against India at Edgbaston in Birmingham as the hosts had a massive target of 378 runs in front of them to deny India a historic series win. The England batters were certainly up for the challenge and made a mockery of the Indian bowling attack to nail down the target inside just 76.4 overs and register an emphatic victory by 7 wickets.

Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow continued their purple patch at Edgbaston as they notched up a century apiece in England's second innings to help the hosts chase down 378 runs without breaking a sweat on Day 5 of the Test match. Asked to chase the huge total, England had started their second innings as far from favourites but a brilliant opening stand followed by terrific knocks from Root and Bairstow sealed a series-levelling win for them.

Openers Alex Lees (56) and Zak Crawley (46) took England off to a flying start in their second innings with a 107-run stand for the first wicket. India's stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah, who was leading the side in Rohit Sharma's absence, got the visitors back into the game by breaking their partnership at a crucial juncture.

Bumrah then got rid of Ollie Pope on a duck in quick succession before Lees was run-out leaving England reeling on 109/3. However, Root and Bairstow combined to put on a resilient stand and take England close to victory. After being dominated by India over the course of the first three days in the Test match, England stood just 119 runs away from victory at stumps on Day 3.

It was an incredible turnaround from the hosts as they went from being the underdogs at the start of their second innings to become the absolute favourite to win the game. On Day 5, Root and Bairstow continued from where they had left and went on to notch up their respective centuries. While Root finished unbeaten on 142 off just 173 balls, Bairstow scored 114 off 145 balls.

India dominated the proceedings right from Day 1 despite getting off to a poor start after being asked to bat first. India were struggling at 98/5 at one stage in their first innings before centurions Ravindra Jadeja (104) and Rishabh Pant (146) combined to help them fight back. Skipper Bumrah gave the finishing touches with a sensational cameo of 16-ball 31 to help India post 416 runs on the board.

Indian bowlers then produced an exceptional show with the ball during England's first innings to bundle them out for 284 runs despite Bairstow's terrific knock of 106 runs. India amassed a healthy lead of 132 runs heading into their second innings but the batters failed to capitalise.

Barring Cheteshwar Pujara (66) and Pant (57), all other Indian batters failed to get going as India could only manage 245 runs in their second innings to extend their lead to 377 runs&nbsp;to hand England a massive target. However, the total proved to be a cakewalk for the English batters at the end as they chased it down with seven wickets to spare to deny India a historic series win.

The rescheduled fifth Test was originally scheduled to be played last year during India's tour of England but had to be postponed due to COVID-19. It was later decided that the final fifth Test of the series will be played at the start of India's tour of England this year.

India were leading the five-match series 2-1 from last year and stood just one step away from scripting history as it would have been their first Test series win on English soil since 2007. However, England got the better of the visitors in the rescheduled game to ensure the series ended in a 2-2 stalemate.

Wimbledon 2022: Sania Mirza-Mate Pavic reach mixed doubles semifinals

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen slammed premier Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah for his poor tactics with the ball during England's second innings on Day 4 of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test between the two sides at Edgbaston. After handing England a tricky target of 378 runs in their second innings, Indian bowlers were expected to trouble the England batters and keep them at bay.

However, the hosts dominated the proceedings as the openers Alex Lees (56) and Zak Crawley (46) got the team off to a good start with a 107-run stand for the first wicket. England then went on to lose three wickets in quick succession after Crawley and Lees' partnership but Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow got the hosts back into the game with an unbeaten stand for the fourth wicket.

Indian skipper Bumrah broke the partnership between Crawley and Lees, and also sent Ollie Pope packing on a duck to revive India's chances in the game after the 107-run opening stand but he failed to find support from other Indian bowlers. Root and Bairstow continued their onslaught as India struggled to pick wickets with England cruising towards the target.

Pietersen, who is a huge admirer of Bumrah as a bowler, criticised the Indian skipper for failing to get his tactics right against Root and Bairstow during England's second innings. Pietersen reckoned it had become too easy for the England duo to steal singles and the Indian pacer didn't trouble them at all.

"I don't think Bumrah got his tactics right today at all, and I say that with the greatest deal of respect," Pietersen said on Sky Sports post stumps on Day 4.

"There is no way with a reverse swinging ball that he should make it that easy for the batter, because the batter is trying so hard to decipher which way that ball is swinging. When it's reverse swinging at 90mph, the nicest place to bat is at the non-strikers end, and the ability to get to the non-strikers end as easily as they did this afternoon, it's too easy," he added.

With England requiring only 117 runs to win on Day 5, Pietersen suggested Bumrah and the other Indian bowlers to not repeat their mistakes. Nonetheless, England remain absolute favourites to win the Test match after their solid batting display in their second innings.

"They had long off and long on, and that was pure madness. For half an hour that was pure madness. Even for the last 15-20 minutes of the day's play, pull them right in, say 'Jonny, if you're good enough to hit me over the head, please do it,' hope they don't do it tomorrow morning, but for England's sake, absolutely, let them spread them as far as they want," said Pietersen.&nbsp;

Manchester United are looking at life without Cristiano Ronaldo as the Portuguese superstar has already expressed his desire to leave the club this summer. Ronaldo has reportedly told United it's time for him to leave as he wants to spend the last few years of his playing career at a club competing in the UEFA Champions League. Ronaldo was also allegedly unhappy with United's lack of ambition in the transfer market.

United are working on a number of deals as they look to strengthen their squad under new manager Erik Ten Hag ahead of the new season. However, they are yet to make a new signing this summer despite letting go of the likes of Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata among others.

While their have been no incomings, Ronaldo looks set to join the list of players moving away from the club this summer having re-joined United only last summer from Juventus. Ronaldo scored 24 goals across all competition for the club last season and was one of their best players in what was a disappointing campaign.

While new manager Ten Hag was relying on Ronaldo to lead his attack at United next season, the Dutch manager faces a new headache&nbsp;as he will have to find an ideal replacement for the Portuguese if his transfer materialises. As per reports, United have already started looking at potential replacements if Ronaldo decides to leave the club this summer.

United are reportedly eyeing a move for Argentinian forward Paulo Dybala, who is a free agent after his contract at Juventus expired at the end of the last season. Dybala has been linked to several clubs including the likes of Inter Milan but as per a report in&nbsp;Italian newspaper La Repubblica, both Arsenal and Manchester United have made contact with the former Juventus forward over a move this summer.

As per the report, United have also made contact with Dybala's agents and are keen on signing him as Ten Hag looks to bolster his attack amid uncertainty over Ronaldo's future at the club. United need to sign a forward as Ronaldo's departure will leave them thin in attack with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford among the only prominent options to lead the line.

Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement? Manchester United eye Paulo Dybala to replace Portuguese superstar

An angelic Nick Kyrgios reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final for seven years when he recovered from a slow start to beat steady American Brandon Nakashima in five sets on Wimbledon`s Centre Court on Monday. With Kyrgios`s bad-tempered Court One victory over fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas still the talk of the town, the Australian was on his best behaviour in front of the Royal Box as he ground out a 4-6 6-4 7-6(2) 3-6 6-2 win.

Unseeded Chilean Cristian Garin awaits in the last eight after edging out Kyrgios`s compatriot Alex De Minaur, offering Kyrgios a golden opportunity to surpass his quarter-final run at Wimbledon on his debut in 2014 when he stunned Rafa Nadal.

After the mayhem and toxic atmosphere of Saturday, when Kyrgios was accused by Tsitsipas of being a bully, he let his tennis do the talking against the 20-year-old Nakashima, barely uttering a word in anger throughout a contest that contained few of the fireworks usually associated with the Australian.

While his tennis did not reach the heights he managed against Tsitsipas and at times he struggled physically, Kyrgios still struck 61 winners, 31 of which were aces.

"It wasn`t near my best performance, level wise, but I`m just super, super happy to get through," Kyrgios, who has now won 11 of 14 five-set matches, said on court.

"I`ve never lost a fifth set here. Honestly, that`s what I was thinking about. I was like, I`ve been here before I`ve done it before and I came through again."

Asked about facing Garin, he said: "I`m not going to think about that. I`m going to need a glass of wine tonight for sure." Kyrgios entertained the capacity crowd with some tweeners in the warm-up and even practised some under-arm serves.

But they were few and far between in a three-hour 10-minute match that was absorbing rather than exciting. If anything the world number 40 looked subdued in the opening set and appeared to be bothered by a stiff shoulder.

Two lazy forehand errors at 4-5 gifted Nakashima the opening set as Kyrgios, whose last Grand Slam quarter-final saw him lose to Andy Murray at the 2015 Australian Open, looked in danger of an anti-climactic exit. But he broke serve for 2-1 in the second set and, after having treatment on his shoulder at the changeover, gradually cranked up the power gauge to level the match.

Nakashima`s focus was total though as the American kept his nose in front in the third set and his no-nonsense approach brought him to within two points of taking the set when Kyrgios again served at 4-5. This time Kyrgios blasted his way out of trouble and, after another love service hold to get into a tiebreak, he turned on the style, hitting two scorching winners, one on each wing, to move within one set of victory.

Nothing is ever quite what it seems though with Kyrgios on court and just when he looked in control he suddenly went off the boil and dropped serve twice in succession as Nakashima took it into a decider.

At that stage, with Kyrgios finally starting to chunter to his box, Nakashima looked a good bet to become the youngest American man to reach the last eight here since Andy Roddick, also 20, managed it in 2003. Kyrgios held from 0-30 to make it 1-1 and then flicked the switch, breaking twice as he raced away towards victory, sealing it with a silky volley.

At that stage, with Kyrgios finally starting to chunter to his box, Nakashima looked a good bet to become the youngest American man to reach the last eight here since Andy Roddick, also 20, managed it in 2003. Kyrgios held from 0-30 to make it 1-1 and then flicked the switch, breaking twice as he raced away towards victory, sealing it with a silky volley.

Virat Kohli has been a livewire on the pitch during the ongoing Edgbaston Test between India and England. With last year's five-match Test series on the line, both teams have given their all so far in the rescheduled fifth Test which was postponed due to COVID-19 last year. India dominated the proceedings on the first three days of the Test match but England regained the momentum in their second innings on Day 4.

After three days of intense action, Indian batters couldn't impress much in their second innings on Day 4 as the visitors managed to post 245 runs on the board, extending their lead to 377 runs. Cheteshwar Pujara (66) and Rishabh Pant (57) were the top-scorer for India with half-centuries apiece.

Despite getting to only 245 runs in their second innings, India managed to hand a tricky target of 378 runs to England and were regarded as favourites to win the game ahead of the start of England's second innings. However, the hosts got off to a flying start as openers Alex Lees and Zak Crawley shared a 107-run stand for the first wicket.

But just when it looked like England were cruising towards the target, the momentum shifted in India's favour after Jasprit Bumrah removed Crawley and Ollie Pope in quick succession. Lees too departed quickly after Bumrah's twin strikes as he was run out by Ravindra Jadeja on 56.

Kohli, who has often been animated on the field so far in the Test match, broke into a wild celebration soon after Lees' run-out. The Indian superstar was seen celebrating passionately and the video of his animated celebration soon went viral on social media with fans lauding his passion for Test cricket.

England looked in troube after losing three wickets in quick succession but Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow combined in the middle to steady the ship for the hosts. While Root went on to notch up a fifty, Bairstow too is edging closer to one with the duo having already shared a stand of over 100 runs to take England cloer to the target at Edgbaston.

Jasprit Bumrah has been enjoying a dream run for India in his first Test match as captain of the national team. The premier speedster has been on fire against England in the ongoing rescheduled 5th Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. After playing a sensational cameo with the bat in India's first innings, Bumrah breathed fire with the ball during England's first innings and continued his red-hot form in the hosts' second innings on Day 4 of the Test match on Monday (July 04).

After handing England a tricky target of 378 runs in their second innings, Indian bowlers struggled to get a breakthrough on Day 4. Bumrah came to the team's rescue and drew the first blood by cleaning up opener Zak Crawley on 46 off 76 balls to deny him a fifty.

Bumrah broke the 107-run stand between Crawley and his opening partner Alex Lees to get a much-needed breakthrough for the visitors. He didn't stop there and was quick to also get rid of Lees on 56 off 65 balls next. With his twin strikes, Bumrah turned the game on its head as India regained their hold in the Test match.

Bumrah also went on to break a long-standing&nbsp;record of the legendary Kapil Dev with the wickets during England's second innings. The former India captain held the record for most wickets by an Indian pacer in a Test series against England with 22 scalps in the India-England series in India back in&nbsp;1981-82. Bumrah has now surpassed his tally with 23 wickets in the ongoing series so far.

22 Kapil Dev in India 1981-82 
19 Bhuvneshwar Kumar in England 2014

Thanks to Bumrah's twin strikes, India gained the momentum back in the Test match after it looked for a while that England would have a walk in the park in their run chase. The hosts were soon reduced to 109/3 after Ollie Pope was run-out on a duck in the next over after Pope's departure to pile on more misery on England.

England now have Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow - arguably the two best batters in the team out in the middle with over 240 runs required to win the Test match and avoid a series loss. India were leading the five-match series 2-1 last year before the final fifth Test was postponed due to COVID-19.

The ongoing one-off Test match between the two sides will decide the fate of the series as India require a draw or win to clinch the series. If India manage to win the game, they will script history as it will be their first Test series win on English soil since 2007.
