West Indies' fragile batting line-up was again exploited by Australia with the hosts routed for 143 in their first innings in an eventful middle session on the second day of the day/night third Test at Sabina Park in Jamaica on Sunday. A day after the visitors lost their last seven wickets for 68 runs to be dismissed for 225, the Caribbean side were marginally worse, their last seven wickets tumbling for 61 as Australia's array of seamers ran riot against players ill-equipped for such a challenge. Australia will start their second innings under lights, when the pink ball tends to be even more of a challenge for batsmen, with a lead of 82 runs. Scott Boland, selected at the expense of veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon, led the demolition with three for 34. Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins claimed two wickets each in a performance that was nevertheless far from flawless as wicketkeeper Alex Carey missed two chances that could have worsened the West Indies plight. However, such was the discomfort of the home batsmen that they were incapable of making the most of those lapses. Indeed, some of their wounds were self-inflicted via poor shot selection and then Justin Greaves, one of the beneficiaries of Carey's error-strewn late afternoon, ran himself out going for a third run to Sam Konstas' throw from the cover boundary.

At the start of the day, the West Indies found free scoring almost impossible on a seamer-friendly surface against an attack offering very few scoring opportunities. Just 57 runs came off 23 overs for the loss of two wickets. Hazlewood and captain Cummins were the successful bowlers on a humid afternoon, accounting for the overnight pair of Brandon King and Roston Chase. King was trapped lbw by a full delivery from Hazlewood while Australian captain Cummins removed his West Indian counterpart via an edge to Usman Khawaja at first slip as Chase failed to effectively negotiate a ball which lifted sharply off a good length. Australia are seeking a clean sweep of the series after victories in the first two Tests in Barbados and Grenada. West Indies' last Test match victory over Australia in the Caribbean was in 2003 when they set a new record for successful run-chases in Test cricket in reaching 418 for seven in Antigua to deny Ricky Ponting's team of a whitewash of the four-match series.

Trump in attendance There was a real sense of occasion at the MetLife Stadium, with the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline and with Trump in attendance along with First Lady Melania Trump in a crowd of 81,118. For the second time in six weeks PSG found themselves involved in a final that quickly turned into a one-sided affair. The club claimed a historic 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League final, but here they were ripped apart by Chelsea. The opening goal came in the 22nd minute as Malo Gusto got the better of Nuno Mendes down the right before seeing his shot blocked by Lucas Beraldo.

Palmer has been the face of Chelsea on billboards in the United States during the tournament and he lived up to his star status by scoring again on the half-hour.

Joao Pedro played a part in the build-up to that goal and the Brazilian, signed during the tournament from Brighton, then got his name on the scoresheet to make it 3-0. Scorer of both goals against Fluminense in the semi-finals, he clipped a shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma after being supplied by Palmer. PSG had conceded a single goal in their previous eight matches and they never really looked like producing a comeback, even if Neves headed just wide in first-half stoppage time.

Cole Palmer stars as Chelsea stun PSG to win expanded FIFA Club World Cup

Donald Trump experienced the agony and the ecstasy of football on Sunday as he was booed at the final of the FIFA Club World Cup -- even as he joined in some high-spirited celebrations with champions Chelsea.The US president was front and centre as the winners took to the stage, grinning broadly in his red tie and clapping and jumping with the players as the jubilant Blues lifted the gleaming trophy, which he had presented to captain Reece James.But moments earlier, loud booing could be heard among cheers and applause as Trump walked onto the pitch for the presentation with FIFA president Gianni Infantino -- before the music in the stadium was turned up.Earlier, the Republican billionaire was also applauded as he and First Lady Melania Trump arrived for the match at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey, just outside New York City.But when a jumbotron screen briefly showed Trump saluting to the US national anthem, yet more boos could be heard in the giant stadium, before the camera quickly cut away.The scorn did little to dampen the president's spirits as he handed out trophies to the star players including the Golden Ball for best player to Cole Palmer, followed by handshakes and medals to the defeated Paris Saint-Germain.He later called the crowd "tremendous.""We had a great time," he told reporters as he landed at Joint Base Andrews outside the US capital, Washington after the match.The Republican's appearance at the game also came on the first anniversary of the assassination attempt that he survived at an election rally in Pennsylvania.Trump has made no secret of his desire to use this year's club championship and next year's 2026 World Cup as symbols of the "Golden Age of America" during his second term in the White House.Next year's World Cup, the final of which will be held at the same stadium, will coincide with the 250th anniversary of America's independence.Trump has even set up a White House task force to ensure next year's championship -- hosted jointly with Canada and Mexico -- goes smoothly.<h2>‘He loves it’</h2>Trump has fostered a close relationship with Infantino, who has been a frequent visitor to the White House.The president has kept the Club World Cup trophy next to his desk in the Oval Office since the FIFA president dropped by in March.Infantino, who is no stranger to dealing with hard-nosed world leaders including Russia's Vladimir Putin ahead of the 2018 World Cup, thanked Trump for his support on Saturday.He said Trump had "embraced immediately the importance of the FIFA Club World Cup, and of course of the World Cup next year."Infantino also joked that Trump "certainly loves as well the trophy" -- whose gold-plated curves match the gilded makeover that the president has given the Oval Office.But Trump's fondness of football, or soccer as he would say, is also personal.The president's 19-year-old son Barron is a fan, as Infantino pointed out in a press conference at FIFA's new office in Trump Tower in New York on Saturday.Asked if Trump liked the game, Infantino replied: "Well I think he does. In his first term as president of the United States, there was a soccer goal in the garden of the White House."He then explained to me that his son loved football, and that he loved the game. And of course when you are a parent, you love what your children love, so I think that he loves it."As a boarding school student at the New York Military Academy, Trump himself also reportedly played the game for a season.<h2>‘Go home’</h2>But in typical form, Trump has also mixed political controversy with his football fandom.Hosting Italian side Juventus in the Oval Office in June, he delivered a diatribe on transgender people in sports before asking the players: "Could a woman make your team, fellas?"Most of the players looked bemused before Juventus general manager Damien Comolli replied: "We have a very good women's team.""He's being very diplomatic," said Trump.Trump's hardline immigration crackdown -- part of his "America First" policy – has meanwhile sparked fears that football fans will be discouraged from coming to the United States for the 2026 World Cup.In May, Vice President JD Vance said that fans would be "welcome to come... but when the time is up, they will have to go home."Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.

Next year's World Cup, the final of which will be held at the same stadium, will coincide with the 250th anniversary of America's independence. Trump has even set up a White House task force to ensure next year's championship -- hosted jointly with Canada and Mexico -- goes smoothly. ‘He loves it’ Trump has fostered a close relationship with Infantino, who has been a frequent visitor to the White House. The president has kept the Club World Cup trophy next to his desk in the Oval Office since the FIFA president dropped by in March. Infantino, who is no stranger to dealing with hard-nosed world leaders including Russia's Vladimir Putin ahead of the 2018 World Cup, thanked Trump for his support on Saturday. He said Trump had "embraced immediately the importance of the FIFA Club World Cup, and of course of the World Cup next year." Infantino also joked that Trump "certainly loves as well the trophy" -- whose gold-plated curves match the gilded makeover that the president has given the Oval Office. But Trump's fondness of football, or soccer as he would say, is also personal. The president's 19-year-old son Barron is a fan, as Infantino pointed out in a press conference at FIFA's new office in Trump Tower in New York on Saturday. Asked if Trump liked the game, Infantino replied: "Well I think he does. In his first term as president of the United States, there was a soccer goal in the garden of the White House. "He then explained to me that his son loved football, and that he loved the game. And of course when you are a parent, you love what your children love, so I think that he loves it." As a boarding school student at the New York Military Academy, Trump himself also reportedly played the game for a season. ‘Go home’ But in typical form, Trump has also mixed political controversy with his football fandom. Hosting Italian side Juventus in the Oval Office in June, he delivered a diatribe on transgender people in sports before asking the players: "Could a woman make your team, fellas?" Most of the players looked bemused before Juventus general manager Damien Comolli replied: "We have a very good women's team." "He's being very diplomatic," said Trump. Trump's hardline immigration crackdown -- part of his "America First" policy – has meanwhile sparked fears that football fans will be discouraged from coming to the United States for the 2026 World Cup. In May, Vice President JD Vance said that fans would be "welcome to come... but when the time is up, they will have to go home."

"We had a great time," he told reporters as he landed at Joint Base Andrews outside the US capital Washington after the match.

Why Donald Trump was booed at the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey?

India suffered a dramatic top-order slump to set up a thrilling finale to the third Test against England at Lord's on Sunday. The tourists had the upper hand after dismissing England for just 192 in their second innings, with off-spinner Washington Sundar taking 4-22, including the wickets of Joe Root, Jamie Smith and England captain Ben Stokes on the fourth day. That left India needing 193 to go 2-1 up in this five-match series after both teams made 387 in their first innings. India, however, collapsed to 58-4 at stumps, with the tourists requiring a further 135 runs to win on Monday's final day.&nbsp;Yashasvi Jaiswal was out for a duck, skying a hook off express fast bowler Jofra Archer to wicketkeeper Smith. Karun Nair was lbw to Brydon Carse with India captain Shubman Gill, who has already scored a double hundred and two centuries this series, falling in similar fashion. And in the last over of the day's play, Stokes bowled nightwatchman Akash Deep to raucous cheers from the home crowd.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/lords-test-sunil-gavaskar-makes-bizarre-remarks-on-gill-crawley-fight-says-english-players-not-playing-ipl-1752413593533">Lord’s Test: Gavaskar makes bizarre remarks on Gill-Crawley fight, says ‘English players not playing IPL…’</a>&nbsp;But India opener KL Rahul, fresh from his first-innings score of exactly 100, was still there on 33 not out following several typically elegant boundaries.&nbsp;Earlier, Root and Stokes joined forces with England in trouble at 87-4.

Crawley and Ollie Pope survived probing deliveries from Bumrah, who took 5-74 in England's first innings after being rested from India's win in the second Test at Edgbaston. But it was Siraj who struck next when he had Pope lbw on review. And 42-2 was soon transformed into 50-3. Crawley (22) fell in all-too familiar fashion when edging a drive off Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jaiswal -- one of two gullies posted by India in the hope of such a dismissal. Unsurprisingly, given Saturday's incident, Crawley received a verbal volley from Reddy as he left the field. Harry Brook came in and struck three successive boundaries off Deep -- two scooped fours followed by a thumping straight six over long-off. But fast bowler Deep had the last laugh by bowling Brook for 23 as the world's top-ranked Test batsman failed to make contact with an over-ambitious sweep.

Whenever tennis comes to mind, we visualise two rackets, lush grass or clay courts, epic rallies, game-set-match and of course, yellow tennis balls. But what if we told you that yellow wasn't always the colour of tennis balls? In fact, the balls were initially either white or black. Sounds strange, right? Well, it wasn’t until 1972 that yellow, fluorescent yellow to be specific, became the official colour of tennis balls. But why yellow? Why not red, blue, or green? Let's understand it.<h2>The story behind Wimbledon's fluorescent yellow balls</h2>It was Sir David Attenborough, a renowned British historian and biologist, who had a huge role to play in this colour switch of tennis balls. Back in 1967, he was working as the studio controller for the BBC. That year, he, along with his team, decided to broadcast Wimbledon, played at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, on colour TV for the very first time. Until then, sports coverage on TV was done in black and white.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/why-players-wear-white-clothes-in-wimbledon-whats-behind-the-all-white-dress-code-rule-colonialism-imperialism-and-more-1751364331647">What’s behind the Wimbledon all-white dress code rule? Colonialism, imperialism and more</a>&nbsp;But there was a major inconvenience for the viewers. The white tennis balls, which had always been used, were barely visible on colour television. Viewers struggled to follow the ball during fast rallies. Hence, Sir David and his team began searching for a colour that would be visually appealing on screen.&nbsp;In 1972, a study conducted by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) confirmed that fluorescent yellow was the most visible colour for TV audiences. That same year, yellow balls were officially added to the ITF rulebook. The 1973 US Open was the first major slam tournament to adopt them. Wimbledon, known for holding on to its old-fashioned tradition, didn’t switch to yellow balls until 1986.&nbsp;Thus, the next time you see the yellow tennis balls on your screen, remember it was the result of a great vision led by Sir David Attenborough, who changed the way we see tennis forever.

Why are tennis balls yellow? Know the surprising story behind the colour change

He’s lean, sharp-jawed, and calm-eyed — the kind of athlete who doesn’t need to announce his arrival. Dressed in India’s blue with a hint of swagger, Animesh Kujur carries the relaxed confidence of a man who knows where he’s going — fast. His frame is aerodynamic, his demeanor grounded, and his focus, absolute. On first glance, he could be mistaken for a runway model; but step onto the track, and you’ll know — he was built to fly.&nbsp;That’s exactly what he did in Greece, at the Dromia International Sprint and Relays Meeting. Lining up alongside European sprinters, Animesh took off out of the blocks and surged ahead — his 100 metres clocking in at 10.18 seconds, smashing the Indian national record. It wasn’t just a personal best. It was a shot across the global sprinting map — India was no longer just participating. It was arriving.<h2>'It’s all about the process'</h2>Ask Animesh about that moment in Greece, and his eyes light up — not with self-congratulation, but with resolve. “Coach said it will take time. Just wait, trust the process, and go with the flow,” he recalled. That’s been the mantra guiding his career — an unwavering faith in the system that has helped turn raw talent into a world-stage contender.&nbsp;The man behind the curtain, his coach, Owen Martins, is equally measured. “Animesh wasn’t chasing records. He’s chasing his best. Medals and timings come as a byproduct,” he says. The coach vividly remembers the first time he saw Animesh: a “big lad” desperate to join the HPC (High Performance Centre), raw and restricted in movement, yet blazing fast when unleashed. “There’s a funny debate about who begged whom to join the program,” Owen laughs, “but what matters is that he came. And we saw something in him that told us — this guy could go far.”<h2>The Monaco dream</h2>Just weeks after his historic 100m sprint, Animesh was on the track again — this time at the Monaco Diamond League, rubbing shoulders with the world's best. "I expected more,” Animesh admitted candidly. “But racing with big athletes like Gout Gout and Noah Lyles — I learnt so much just by watching them.”&nbsp;For a boy from India to not just race but belong on the same track as global icons was a milestone of its own. “Their warm-up routines, their discipline, their lifestyle — I took notes on everything,” he says. “That’s where I want to be.” Despite not meeting his personal best, Animesh clocked 20.55seconds in the 200m — on a day when swirling headwinds and a tricky lane setup slowed everyone down. “Only Amlan Borgohain has ever run faster in India,” Owen reminds us. “And we were disappointed — that tells you where the standards are going.”<h2>The elusive sub-10</h2>In Indian athletics, the 10-second barrier in the 100m is the final frontier — a mental, physical, and cultural wall no man has yet broken. Is Animesh close? “I was in shape to run under 10.10 at the National Games,” Animesh reveals. “But my start didn’t go well. Coach told me — trust the training, we’ll get there.”&nbsp;The coach offers a cautious but hopeful perspective. “It’s a slow process. We don’t even train by running hundreds regularly. We break it down — starts, acceleration, transitions — and build it over months.” A better lane, faster surface, legal wind, and the right race — “It’s all about aligning those variables. Could be Animesh, could be someone else. But it will happen. And when it does, the Indian press can go mad.”<h2>Training, travel and transformation</h2>Since April, Animesh has been a nomad of elite athletics — racing across Asia and Europe, training in Geneva, competing in Athens, preparing for Germany. Each leg of the journey brings new insights. “My roommate in Switzerland is a South African athlete,” he says. “Just watching how professionals eat, sleep, warm up, chill — it’s a full education.”&nbsp;From strength and conditioning sessions with a bobsleigh coach to curve transition drills and relay fine-tuning, Animesh’s days are anything but ordinary. “The 200m demands curve running, which is hard to train,” he explains. “Straight tracks are easier for that. But we’re adapting.”&nbsp;With upcoming meets in Geneva, Germany, and the World University Games, the schedule doesn’t relent. Still, Animesh is upbeat. “This is what I wanted. To race in Europe. To run with faster athletes. To learn.”<h2>What lies ahead</h2>For Animesh Kujur, the year ahead is filled with possibility: a shot at the World Championships, and perhaps, the first Indian to run under 10 seconds. “We’re aiming for 20.16seconds in the 200m next,” Owen said. “He was running 20.5seconds last year — now he’s consistently near the national record. The jump is real.”&nbsp;Training will soon shift to Essen and Bochum in Germany. There, Animesh, who is supported by Reliace Foundation, will link up with India’s 4x100m relay team and prepare for the final leg of a season that could redefine Indian sprinting. But amidst the hustle, it’s the mindset that stands out most — humble, grounded, focused. “I’m just trying to improve,” Animesh says, brushing aside the hype. “Everything else will come.”<h2>Legacy in the making</h2>It’s easy to get swept up in the numbers: 10.18 seconds, 20.36 seconds, minus-1.9 headwinds, lane 8 transitions. But Animesh’s story isn’t just statistical — it’s symbolic. He represents a new generation of Indian athletes who no longer see global stardom as a distant possibility, but as a reachable goal. He trains with the best, competes without fear, and speaks with maturity far beyond his years. And as he gears up for yet another international showdown, one thing is certain: Animesh Kujur isn’t just India’s fastest man today. He might be the first to sprint his way into immortality.

Shubman Gill and Zak Crawley had an animated argument over the English opener deliberately wasting time just at the stroke of stumps on day three at Lord’s. Indecent gestures and pointing fingers were just a little part of the heated moment both teams shared in that one over off Jasprit Bumrah. Although Crawley wasting time to ensure Team India doesn’t get another over was the primarily reason why Gill and him got into a verbal tussle, watching everything getting unfolded from the commentary box, former captain-turned-broadcaster Sunil Gavaskar, decoded their fight and came up with a bizarre reasoning behind it, bringing the cash-rich IPL into the picture.&nbsp;Gavaskar said only because several England Test team players, including Crawley, Joe Root and their captain Ben Stokes, don’t compete in the Indian Premier League, unlike other T20-bound players from the country, they don’t share the same camaraderie with the Indian players, leading to such instances. &nbsp;“There is a reason why this happened. That’s because not a lot of England players are competing in the IPL,” Gavaskar said on air, as quoted by the Indian Express. “That’s my thinking. From this England team, Joe Root did not play, Ben Stokes did not play. Most of these English players don’t play in the Indian Premier League. What has happened with other teams is that a lot of their players are in the IPL. They have mixed with the Indian players, travelled with them. They shared changing room. You see the players of other countries competing in the T20 league, and when they turn up against India in international cricket, there is no fight among the cricketers of both teams.&nbsp;“On the other hand, we don’t see this happening between the Indian and English players. This is what I keep saying: before the IPL, there was a lot of animosity, bordering on being brutal, between some players. That intensity is still there, like Archer bowling to Yashasvi. There is a lot of confrontation between India and England players because they don’t play in the IPL,” Gavaskar continued.&nbsp;<h3>Gavaskar’s take on Crawley's antics &nbsp;</h3>Crawley took the strike in the last over of the day against Bumrah. After the first two balls, wherein he even took a double, Crawley stepped aside before the third ball was bowled, pointing fingers at the side screen for disturbance, irking Bumrah and Gill, standing in the slips. It was then that Gill made indecent gestures while also shouting, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-3rd-test-lord-s-grow-some-fucking-balls-shubman-gill-to-zak-crawley-late-on-day-3-at-lords-watch-1752344680686">‘Grow some f**king b***s’ to Crawley</a>. &nbsp;However, the drama began after the penultimate ball, when Crawley pretended to be hit on the fingers of his batting hand, immediately calling out the team doctor for a quick check. That escalated the whole scene, as Gill rushed towards Crawley and made an ‘X’ sign towards the dressing room, mocking his injury and indicating to them that he cannot continue further. &nbsp;Speaking on England and Crawley’s motives, Gavaskar said, “…England wanting to make it the last over. The Indians thought it was may bit of gamesmanship. Maybe it was. Zak Crawley has the right to call a physio, as pain is an individual thing. Indian batters should also follow these tactics. They don’t do it,” he added.

Team India is on top of England early on day four at Lord’s. After the last-over drama that made headlines late on day three, involving Zak Crawley, Indian captain Shubman Gill and pacer Jasprit Bumrah, the upbeat Indian unit put England’s back against the wall with four wickets inside the first session on Sunday morning (Jul 13). However, what stood out were a few unplayable deliveries from Bumrah, one of which did hit Crawley’s batting hand, unlike how Zak pretended during that fiery last over, and Mohammed Siraj’s fiery send-off to English opener Ben Duckett after dismissing him on 12.&nbsp;

The Wimbledon men’s singles final will be a mouth-watering prospect as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz go head-to-head in the summit clash on Sunday (July 13) at the Centre Court.

Former India stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane has cleared his intent on playing for Team India as he contemplates a return to the side. Rahane, a veteran of the game has not played for the national side since July 2023 but wants to rebuild his career with the national side in the red-ball format where he has largely enjoyed a successful spell.

"I'm really passionate about playing Test cricket. I'm enjoying my cricket at the moment.&nbsp;"I'm here just for a few days. I carried my trainers and my training clothes so that I can keep myself fit.

Our domestic season is starting, so preparations have just begun." Rahane was at Lord’s on Day 2 of the ongoing India vs England Test when he opened up on his future with the side. Over the years he has played in 85 Test matches for India and scored 5077 runs while in the ODI format, he has scored 2962 runs in 90 matches.

However, the Mumbai batter was overlooked in favour of Karun Nair who was given the opportunity for the England tour after impressing in the domestic circuit. If Nair continues to fail in the red-ball format, Rahane could be thrown a lifeline to return to the Indian time. So far in the series, Nair has scored 77 runs in four innings with an average of 19.5. If Nair’s poor form continues he could be out of the Indian team with Rahane still in contention alongside Cheteshwar Pujara.

Four days after he became the first player ever to score multiple goals in four straight MLS matches, Messi delivered his fifth brace in five MLS games and Miami continued their climb up the Eastern Conference standings after their league hiatus for the Club World Cup. Messi, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner, opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a free kick, his left-footed shot finding its way through the only gap in Nashville's defensive wall and past goalkeeper Joe Willis.

Mitchell Starc struck early in his 100th Test match as the West Indies reached 16 for one in response to Australia's first innings total of 225 on the opening day of the day/night third Test at Sabina Park in Jamaica on Saturday. Dismissed for a "duck" in an eventful final session as the tourists slipped from 157 for three, Starc bowled debutant Kevlon Anderson off the inside-edge to raise his tally of Test wickets to 396. Anderson and Brandon King found themselves with the task of defying the Australian bowlers operating under lights with the new pink ball after selected openers John Campbell and Mikyle Louis were injured in the field. King and captain Roston Chase will resume on the second day with the West Indies hoping that both Campbell and Louis will be fit to bat later in the innings as they seek a measure of consolation with the series already lost following defeats in the first two Tests in Barbados and Grenada. Shamar Joseph again led the West Indies bowling effort with four for 33, lifting his tally to a series-leading 18 wickets. Jayden Seales and Justin Greaves claimed three wickets each on a pitch offering considerable seam movement but still with enough in the surface to encourage the spinners, raising questions about the visitors' decision to omit veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon in preference for an additional fast-medium bowler in Scott Boland. Seven of the visitors' top eight -– all-rounder Beau Webster was the exception –- got past 15 although none could carry on to the really big innings to put their side in a dominant position. Turgid, almost tedious cricket defined the first two sessions with Australia advancing to 138 for three by the dinner break. However, a comparatively frenetic passage of play followed, triggered by the demise of Steve Smith for a topscore of 48, as Australia lost their last seven wickets for 68 runs in 15 overs. Smith and Cameron Green (46) put on 61 for the third wicket in the one passage of play during the daylight hours when the bat threatened to dominate the ball. "It was almost like he was batting on a different wicket," Green said at the end of play in an appreciation of Smith's positive innings. "I was really struggling out there but clearly he is a class above." Despite the batting collapse in the final session, Green, who is still unable to bowl for at least another three months, was happy with his team's position after day one.

He was almost run out by Campbell and then dropped at third slip by Anderson off successive balls from Seales before being trapped leg-before for 17 off the first ball bowled by Greaves. Anderson, who replaced Keacy Carty, is one of three changes to the West Indies team from the second Test.

After KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant helped the team lay a foundation for the lower order to come and make merry in hot London conditions, Ravindra Jadeja and the remaining two all-rounders played for most of the day.&nbsp; &nbsp;Slow yet steady, Team India took the right steps in the winning direction, by first disallowing England from taking the game away and secondly by stretching it late to deny them any chance to score runs on the board. Though the Indian tailenders again failed to live up to any little hope everyone had from them, being able to at least equal England’s first-inning tally keeps them alive in the game. &nbsp;However, the last ten minutes were the show's highlight, with everything happening and everyone getting involved.&nbsp;&nbsp;The remaining two days promise to be a blockbuster. &nbsp;As things stand, England leads India by two runs.

The last time these two young stars clashed in a Grand Slam final (French Open 2025), it turned into a classic, a five-set rollercoaster with Alcaraz edging past Sinner in a thrilling battle.&nbsp;But there’s more than just the trophy on the line for Alcaraz. If the Spaniard wins on Sunday, he will become just the second man in the Open Era to win back-to-back titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon in two consecutive years, a feat last achieved by Sweden's Bjorn Borg in 1978, 1979, and 1980.&nbsp;Also Read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/why-womens-singles-wimbledon-champion-gets-a-plate-instead-of-a-trophy-1752322421406">Why Women’s singles' Wimbledon champion gets a plate instead of a trophy?</a>&nbsp;Alcaraz has already claimed the French Open in both 2024 and 2025 and is now eyeing his third straight Wimbledon crown, having won it in 2023 and 2024.
