In cricket and life, some moments stay forever in your heart. For Mohammed Siraj, one such joyful memory was at Lord’s in 2021, stump in hand, sprinting across the field after castling the off-stump of England’s James Anderson to seal a famous 151-run win on day 5. Fast forward to July 14, 2025, at the same iconic venue and that very stump became a symbol of heartbreak. India needed 23 more runs. Siraj was putting up a brave fight with the bat and was doing everything right for India. He had defended like a textbook tailender, blocking, ducking and surviving.&nbsp;But fate had other plans. An off-spin delivery from Shoaib Bashir gripped and back-spun to dislodge the stump, the same one Siraj had once uprooted in glory. The heartbreak was instant. Siraj dropped to his knees, questioning his luck as the dream was over.&nbsp;Also Read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/from-car-accident-to-creating-history-when-life-bowled-a-bouncer-rishabh-pant-hit-a-century-1750762288365">From car accident to creating history - When life bowled a bouncer, Rishabh Pant hit a century</a>&nbsp;This wasn’t just another loss. It was a brave fight put up by the Indian tailenders; at lunch on the final day, they were reeling at 112/8. However, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj stitched together a fightback, taking the score to 170. Victory was 23 runs away, but that just wasn't meant to be; God was kinder to England and fortune didn't favour the brave.<h2>Parallels from 2021 Lord's Test</h2>The parallels with the 2021 Test match at Lord's were strange. Back then, India was 209 for 8 before Shami and Bumrah’s unbeaten 89-run stand for the ninth wicket turned the match. Siraj did wonders with the ball: a four-wicket haul and that iconic celebration, stump in hand, Kohli roaring all over the place. He had taken eight wickets in the game, including the final blow that guided India to defend 272 in 60 overs.&nbsp;Now, in 2025, the hope of winning the game lay in the hands of Indian tail-enders. Bumrah and Siraj blocked 84 deliveries together and the Indian side was hoping for a miracle. However, Bashir found just enough from the pitch to break through and shatter the Indian dreams.&nbsp;It’s strange how the same place can give you everything once and take it all away the next time. In 2021, Siraj walked off with the stump in hand and a smile at Lord’s. In 2025, he walked off again, but this time, head down, the same stump lying behind him.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the end, cricket is the best leveller, bringing you up one day and down the next.

In 2021, Siraj sealed a historic win at Lord’s with the stump in hand. In 2025, at the same ground, that stump became a symbol of heartbreak as he was bowled with 23 runs to win. From glory to grief, Siraj lived both highs and lows at the Home of Cricket.

How one stump at Lord’s gave Siraj both joy and heartbreak

India vs England Lord's Test 2025 will always be remembered for Ravindra Jadeja's defiant 61 not out, Jasprit Bumrah's heartbreaking pull shot and Mohammed Siraj down his haunches after the unluckiest dismissal of all time. But when Siraj defended the final ball which undone him, he joined an elite list as a batter at number 11. The emotional pacer had played 30 balls in his innings - joint-second most for India in fourth innings of a Test.

West Indies cricket chief Kishore Shallow announced on Tuesday (July 15) that he has requested an "emergency meeting" with former greats after the team was bowled out for just 27 runs in the third Test defeat to Australia. Australian pacer Mitchell Starc picked 6/9 as the West Indies recorded the second-lowest score in Test cricket history, suffering a humiliating 176-run defeat at Sabina Park on Monday.&nbsp;West Indies narrowly escaped New Zealand's 1955 record low of 26 runs, and Shallow announced that there would be an inquest to examine a woeful 3-0 series defeat. "The result hurts deeply, not only because of how we lost, but because of what West Indies cricket has always represented to our people: pride, identity, and possibility," Kishore said in a statement. “There will be some sleepless nights ahead for many of us, including the players, who I know feel this loss just as heavily,” he added.&nbsp;West Indies' lowest total was the 47 they made against England in 2004.&nbsp;&nbsp;"We are in a rebuilding phase, steadily investing in the next generation, and reigniting the spirit that has long made West Indies cricket a force in the world," said Kishore. "Progress is rarely straightforward. It takes time, perseverance, and belief, especially in our most difficult moments. The road ahead will test us," he added. "Now is not the time to turn away."&nbsp;Kishore said that he has invited former West Indies legends Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards and Brian Lara to participate in discussion regarding the team's fall which also saw them fail to qualify for the 50-over World Cup in 2023.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Starc became just the second bowler in the history of Tests to take three wickets in the first over of an innings — a feat previously pulled off by Irfan Pathan in 2006. In an astonishing 15-ball spell, Starc took a five-wicket haul — the quickest five-for in the history of Test cricket, eclipsing the earlier record of 19 balls shared between Ernie Toshack, Stuart Broad, and Scott Boland.&nbsp;In a mere 4.3 overs, Starc had sealed the devastation. In the process, he also achieved the milestone of 400 Test wickets, becoming just the fourth Australian to the record after Warne, McGrath, and Lyon. His 400th was taken in merely 19,064 balls, making him the second-quickest in terms of deliveries bowled, behind only Dale Steyn.

Barcelona's sensation Lamine Yamal is under investigation for having a group of dwarfs as entertainers at his 18th birthday party over a week ago, Spain's Ministry of Social Rights informed AFP on Tuesday (July 15). The winger was partying with a private gathering in Olivella, some 50 kilometers west of Barcelona, that the ministry requested the prosecutor's office to investigate, in response to a complaint lodged by the Association for People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE).&nbsp;Yamal celebrated his 18th birthday on July 13, the day following his Saturday night party, which was attended by a number of his team-mates, as well as musicians such as Bizarrap and Bad Gyal. "The ADEE has lodged a complaint, so this ministry requested the prosecutor's office to investigate to determine if the law has been broken and, in that case, the rights of people with disabilities (have been)," Spain's Ministry of Social Rights was quoted saying to AFP.&nbsp;ADEE "publicly condemns the employment of individuals with dwarfism as entertainment" and said they would sue since it "perpetuates stereotypes, fuels discrimination, and undermines the image and rights" of individuals with disabilities. Attendees were not allowed to videotape during the event but a video has surfaced of a group of individuals with dwarfism entering the party.&nbsp;"No one treated us with disrespect, we were able to work in peace," revealed one of the performers anonymously on Catalan radio station RAC1, saying there were four of them there. “We're ordinary people who commit ourselves to doing what we love doing in a totally legal manner.”&nbsp;"For a couple of years these individuals (the ADEE) have desired to injure us, they desire to keep us from doing what we prefer, yet they have not provided any work or training to those who are impacted."All this commotion has arisen solely because it was Lamine Yamal's party."&nbsp;The entertainer explained that they dance, serve beverages and perform magic tricks in order to entertain people at the parties they perform at. Dominican rapper Chimbala, who is short in height, posted a video on Instagram singing on stage with Yamal, where Barca teammates Gavi and Alejandro Balde danced at the back. "Lamine Yamal at 18, best player in the world, signing my song 'Abusadora', thanks for having me at your (birthday)," Chimbala wrote.&nbsp;Yamal is on the shortlist for the Ballon d'Or after helping Barcelona to a domestic treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup last year. The Spanish international has netted 25 goals for the club from 106 games since making his debut at the age of 15 in 2023. Yamal's spokesmen were unavailable to comment.

England recall FORGOTTEN spinner Dawson to replace Lord's hero Shoaib Bashir for fourth Test vs India

Britain's King Charles III sympathised with India's devastated cricket heroes on Tuesday (July 15) following their agonising loss to England at the Lord's. Charles comforted the Indian team members when he invited them to his Clarence House residence less than 24 hours after the third Test ended in an agonising defeat for the visitors.&nbsp;India, in pursuit of 193 for the win, were defeated by 22 runs in the final hour of the fourth day. India's Mohammed Siraj was last to fall when he tried to defend a ball from Shoaib Bashir, just to have the ball spin back onto the stumps and knock over the bail. The King told India captain Shubman Gill he had seen the decisive last wicket slip on TV on Monday. He sympathised in expression regarding the theatrics on the ball that sent Siraj packing; "really annoying just to touch the bails".<h2>Watch the video here:</h2>

India are 2-1 down in the five-match series, the fourth Test due next week at Old Trafford before the finale at The Oval. Gill said, "He did say that how our last batsman got out was very unlucky. The ball traveling down the stumps, and he was just asking us how we were feeling after that. And we said to him that it was an unlucky match for us, but either way it could have gone, and hopefully we'll be having better luck in both the next matches.”&nbsp;Coming to the match, despite all the struggle put up by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj along with Ravindra Jadeja during the Lord's Test against England, the game ended on a heartbreak with Ben Stokes' side securing a 22-run win to make it 2-1 in the five-match series. Jadeja left everything on the field, and he steered India's recovery in the 193-run pursuit even though the visitors were 112/8 at lunch on the fourth day.&nbsp;The left-handed bat stayed unbeaten on 61, but in the end could do nothing as Mohammed Siraj lost his wicket to Shoaib Bashir, setting the stage for an unforgettable England win.

Mitchell Starc could not have imagined a more dramatic script while playing his 100th Test. The Australian left-arm pacer unleashed a record spell, taking 6 wickets for a mere 9 runs, achieving the best-ever bowling figures for a 100th Test appearance, bettering Muttiah Muralitharan's 6/54 in 2006. But this was only the start.&nbsp;Starc became just the second bowler in the history of Tests to take three wickets in the first over of an innings — a feat previously pulled off by Irfan Pathan in 2006. In an astonishing 15-ball spell, Starc took a five-wicket haul — the quickest five-for in the history of Test cricket, eclipsing the earlier record of 19 balls shared between Ernie Toshack, Stuart Broad, and Scott Boland.&nbsp;In a mere 4.3 overs, Starc had sealed the devastation. In the process, he also achieved the milestone of 400 Test wickets, becoming just the fourth Australian to the record after Warne, McGrath, and Lyon. His 400th was taken in merely 19,064 balls, making him the second-quickest in terms of deliveries bowled, behind only Dale Steyn.&nbsp;This wasn’t just a bowling masterclass — it was Starc scripting a legacy under clear and sunny sky. The ball tailed in, swung late, and screamed menace — and the West Indies batters had no answers. Starc was not just celebrating a milestone; he was announcing that he’s far from done. In an era where fast bowlers are carefully managed and often rotated, Starc continues to defy time, rhythm, and sometimes even logic. His longevity is no less remarkable than his pace — still sharp, still lethal, still hungry. When Mitchell Starc runs in, there's always theatre. But in his 100th Test, he gave us a full-blown epic — a Game of Thrones-like carnage where the left-arm king reigned supreme.

In the third Test match between India and England at Lord's, saw hosts securing a 22 run win over India and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match Test series. After the win, England Test captain Ben Stokes reflected on a banter with pacer Jofra Archer as they revisited the 2019 ODI World Cup win at the same venue.

Gosh, he's an absolute beauty, that boy," Stokes told reporters in the post-match press conference.&nbsp;Monday (July 14) was the sixth anniversary of England’s famous World Cup when they defeated New Zealand in the Super Over.

After the collapse in the first session, Jadeja and Bumrah put on a 35-run partnership for the ninth wicket. Just when it seemed like India was settling in, dismissal of Jasprit Bumrah shifted the momentum in favour of England. Post that, Mohammed Siraj came to the crease and stood tall with Jadeja on the other end. Together, they put up a fighting partnership helping India inch closer to the target.&nbsp;However, in the 75th over, Siraj was dismissed by Shoaib Bashir, bringing Indian innings to an end at 170. With the win at Lord's, England now lead the series 2-1.

The world's oldest marathon runner, Fauja Singh, passed away on Monday (July 14) afternoon after he was hit by an unknown vehicle at his village Beas Pind in Jalandhar. He was 114 years old. Born on April 1, 1911, Fauja became a global icon when he started running marathons at the age of 89, after having migrated to the UK in 1993 after death of his wife Gian Kaur. According to his autobiography, 'Turbaned Tornado', Fauja started running to cope with depression after the deaths of some of his family members including his wife.<h2>Started running at age of 89</h2>Fauja started with long walks in Ilford public parks before switching to running longer distances. Fauja's late-life passion for running was all the more exceptional because, as he would go on to tell, as a child, he had been very ill and had struggled to walk until he was five years old. Following a meeting with marathon trainer Harmandar Singh, Fauja was trained for the marathon distance with the aim of running for charity.<h2>Awarded the British Empire Medal</h2>He ran his first marathon at the age of 89 at the London Marathon in 2001 covering the 42.2km race in 6 hours and 54 minutes. His time shaved two minutes short of an hour off the existing record in the 85+ category. He continued to be the oldest person to run a complete marathon in 2011 when at the age of 100 years, he crossed the finish line in the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 8 hours and 11 minutes. The next year he participated in his last marathon in London, taking 7 hours and 49 minutes.&nbsp;Fauja Singh was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to charity and sport in 2015. He received the Ellis Island Medal of Honour from the National Ethnic Coalition in 2013 in the US alongside being one of the London Olympics' torchbearers. Singh became an overnight international sensation in 2003 when he was signed on by Adidas for their ‘Nothing Is Impossible’ campaign that included legends like Muhammad Ali.<h2>How many marathons Fauja Singh ran?</h2>Between 2001 and 2012, he would run a total of nine full marathons. He ran London Marathon six times, Toronto Marathon twice and New York Marathon once. “The first 20 miles are not difficult. As for last six miles, I run while talking to God,” he was quoted saying to The Indian Express.&nbsp;He was invited by the then Prime Minister of Pakistan to the first Lahore Marathon in 2005. In 2006, he was given a special invitation by Queen Elizabeth II to Buckingham Palace. Among the numerous mementos and certificates hanging at Singh's residence in Punjab is a photograph of him with the Queen, framed.

Despite all the struggle put up by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj along with Ravindra Jadeja during the Lord's Test against England, the game ended on a heartbreak with Ben Stokes' side securing a 22-run win to make it 2-1 in the five-match series. Jadeja left everything on the field, and he steered India's recovery in the 193-run pursuit even though the visitors were 112/8 at lunch on the fourth day.&nbsp;&nbsp;The left-handed bat stayed unbeaten on 61, but in the end could do nothing as Mohammed Siraj lost his wicket to Shoaib Bashir, setting the stage for an unforgettable England win. Following the end of the Lord's Test, former India Test captain Anil Kumble compared the match to the 1999 Chennai Test between India and Pakistan, in which the latter defeated the former by 12 runs.&nbsp;Sachin Tendulkar was at the forefront of India's struggle in the Chennai Test, and in Lord's, it was Ravindra Jadeja. But both's efforts were in vain, as their teams could not cross the finishing line. In the match in 1999, Javagal Srinath was the last of his wicket to fall, getting bowled by Saqlain Mushtaq.&nbsp;"I was reminded of one Test match when we lost to Pakistan by 12 runs in Chennai. It was a similar sort of match. Javagal Srinath, over here it is Mohammed Siraj. Just enough on the ball to knock over that bail," said Kumble during a discussion with digital broadcasters.&nbsp;Bashir took the last wicket. Siraj played back to the ball quite well. But Bashir's overspin resulted in the ball spinning behind after hitting the pitch, and it rolled into the leg stump. It was sufficient to disturb the bail. Siraj was completely crestfallen following the sight of the ball reverting back to the stumps. England's Joe Root also went up to and Mohammed Siraj to offer him some consolation.&nbsp;“Jadeja batted beautifully to get India to this score and this close to winning. But credit to England, they just stuck to their task. It's not like he was looking to take the bowler on. But I guess the silly point coming in made him play back. It bounced on him. But certainly, India would have thought that a great chance to get past and win a very historic win,” Kumble added.

The Major League Baseball (MLB) home run Derby isn't just a warm-up game before the All-Star Game; it’s a jam-packed event. Every year, baseball’s biggest sluggers line up to smash balls into the sky, with fans cheering for power, distance, and jaw-dropping moments. Since its inception in 1985, the Derby has grown into one of the league’s most anticipated events, offering a thrilling mix of baseball and entertainment. This year’s edition was hosted at Truist Park in Atlanta, starting Friday (July 11), as part of the 2025 All-Star Game festivities. And as always, the talk was about how far the home runs were hit. Let's glance at the longest home runs hit in the derby over the years.<h2>Record for the longest home run</h2>In 2021, something crazy happened at Coors Field in Denver. Juan Soto hit a home run that went 520 feet. That’s the longest ever recorded in the Derby since Statcast started tracking distances. He didn’t win the game, but that one swing almost left the entire stadium in a state of admiration. Right behind him were Trevor Story with 518 feet and Pete Alonso with 514.&nbsp;Also Read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/why-are-tennis-balls-yellow-know-the-surprising-story-behind-the-colour-change-1752418158683">Why are tennis balls yellow? Know the surprising story behind the colour change</a>&nbsp;Back in 2017, Aaron Judge stole the show at the Derby in Miami. He hit four home runs that went over 500 feet, with the longest one flying 513 feet. Giancarlo Stanton also showed off his power in 2016, hitting two shots at 497 feet.&nbsp;Before 2016, there was no official way to measure how far homers went, but the guesses still left fans in awe. In 2002, Sammy Sosa put on a home run show in Milwaukee. It’s said he hit several balls over 500 feet, with one going an estimated 524 feet. That night is still remembered as one of the wildest ever. Players like Frank Thomas, Josh Hamilton, and Bobby Abreu also hit some gigantic home runs in those early years.

In 2021, something crazy happened at Coors Field in Denver. Juan Soto hit a home run that went 520 feet. That’s the longest ever recorded in the Derby since Statcast started tracking distances.

Since its inception in 1985, the Derby has grown into one of the league’s most anticipated events, offering a thrilling mix of baseball and entertainment. This year’s edition was hosted at Truist Park in Atlanta, starting Friday (July 11), as part of the 2025 All-Star Game festivities. And as always, the talk was about how far the home runs were hit. Let's glance at the longest home runs hit in the derby over the years. Record for the longest home run In 2021, something crazy happened at Coors Field in Denver. Juan Soto hit a home run that went 520 feet. That’s the longest ever recorded in the Derby since Statcast started tracking distances. He didn’t win the game, but that one swing almost left the entire stadium in a state of admiration. Right behind him were Trevor Story with 518 feet and Pete Alonso with 514.

He hit four home runs that went over 500 feet, with the longest one flying 513 feet. Giancarlo Stanton also showed off his power in 2016, hitting two shots at 497 feet. Before 2016, there was no official way to measure how far homers went, but the guesses still left fans in awe. In 2002, Sammy Sosa put on a home run show in Milwaukee. It’s said he hit several balls over 500 feet, with one going an estimated 524 feet. That night is still remembered as one of the wildest ever. Players like Frank Thomas, Josh Hamilton, and Bobby Abreu also hit some gigantic home runs in those early years.

In a region often in headlines, Saqlain Tariq is scripting a different story — one of resilience, pride, and rising above the odds. Hailing from the Poonch district of Jammu &amp; Kashmir, Saqlain is leading the Delhi Toofans franchise in the third season of the Prime Volleyball League. And for the 27-year-old setter, this moment is about more than personal glory — it’s about representing a region that has not been much in the spotlight in India’s mainstream sporting narrative.&nbsp;"I belong to a region from where no one expects you to reach this level. It is a matter of pride for me, my family, and for my district," said an emotional Saqlain while talking to WION exclusively. His journey from the hills of Poonch to the national stage is not just inspirational — it's transformational. Growing up, volleyball was more than just a game in his household. His father, a physical education teacher and volleyball coach, was his first coach and role model. Watching him play lit the initial spark in young Saqlain. By class 6, he decided to give the sport a try — and never looked back. Soon, he was selected to join a sports hostel in Punjab, marking his first major step away from home, culture, and comfort.&nbsp;"It was very tough in the beginning. I was young, and only my father supported my decision. But over time, even the rest of my family understood the dream," he shared. Saqlain's talent quickly rose through the ranks — from representing Punjab in Nationals to becoming the first-ever volleyball player from Jammu &amp; Kashmir to represent India internationally. He played at the Asian U18 Championships in 2014, made the Junior Indian Men’s Team in 2016, competed in the BRICS Games in 2018, and won silver at the U23 Asian event in Myanmar in 2019. By 2021, he was part of the senior Indian team at the Asian Championships in Japan.&nbsp;Despite his accomplishments, his journey was never without financial strain. A contractual job with ONGC in 2014, followed by competition earnings, helped sustain his dream. But Saqlain isn’t content with just his own rise. He is determined to lift others. Back home, he has started a volleyball club that trains 50-60 children daily. “I don’t want the next generation to face the same hurdles I did — lack of infrastructure, support, or guidance,” he says. The club runs free camps every year and even accommodates outstation kids who want to train.&nbsp;“Jammu &amp; Kashmir is a hub of volleyball — people just don’t know it. I’ve seen matches where 20,000 fans showed up to watch. But where are the facilities, the exposure, the jobs? Without a roadmap, how will families allow their kids to take this sport seriously?” Saqlain doesn’t mince words when it comes to the system. “There is zero job security for athletes in J&amp;K. No state-level sports jobs. No hostels. No long-term planning. How long can talent survive without support?” he asked pointedly.&nbsp;And his vision isn’t just sport-centric — it’s social. Deeply concerned about the rising drug abuse among youth in the state, Saqlain believes sports can be a powerful weapon. “When kids are on the field, they stay away from the wrong crowd. I urge families — send your children to the ground. Let them be busy with a purpose.” He also believes that the youth of J&amp;K are ready to change their destiny. “It’s not just about Punjab or Haryana anymore. This is India’s battle. Our youth are beginning to understand that, and sports can play a huge role.”&nbsp;Last year, Saqlain’s efforts were rewarded when his team Delhi Toofans reached the final. This season, he’s determined to go one step further — not just for the trophy, but for the faith his fans, state, and country have placed in him. “I don't want to disappoint the people who believe in me — not the fans, not my district, and not the kids who now dream of playing like me.”&nbsp;In a state where sporting dreams often fade into the background of political and infrastructural neglect, Saqlain Tariq is the face of change — and hope. With his rising stature in Indian volleyball, he’s not just winning matches — he’s creating opportunities and rewriting what’s possible for Jammu &amp; Kashmir.

Australia captain Pat Cummins was full of praise for fellow speedster Mitchell Starc after he became the latest bowler to strike 400 wickets for the nation.

However, the visitors were left to rue missed chances and lost the Test match in the final session of Day 5 after being bowled out for 170. The defeat also sees India trail the five-match series 1-2 with matches at Old Trafford and the Oval still to be played.

Losing by a narrow 22-run margin, former India cricketer and World Cup winner Sunil Gavaskar highlighted the key reason for the visitor’s defeat. According to Gavaskar,&nbsp; Rishabh Pant’s run-out in the first innings was the biggest turning point of the match.

'Rishabh Pant's run-out, the biggest turning point of match': Sunil Gavaskar reflects on India's loss at Lord's

It was a day to forget for West Indies after the hosts were bowled out for a below-par score of 27 in the second innings of the third Test match against Australia on Monday (July 14). And one of the major reasons for the destruction was Aussie speedster Mitchell Starc, who bagged the fastest five-wicket haul in Test cricket while playing at Sabina Park in Jamaica.

He scalped John Campbell first ball, the fourth time in his career he had struck with the opening delivery of an innings to begin on an excellent note.
