Joe Root and Harry Brook give England hope after Mohammed Siraj let-off
Chasing a massive 374 to take the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 3-1, the hosts reached lunch at 164 for three with their top two batters at the crease. Ben Duckett and stand-in captain Ollie Pope departed as India made inroads towards squaring the series 2-2, but a typically dependable 23 not out from Root and a counter-attacking unbeaten 38 by Brook left things in the balance. Brook hit four fours and two sixes in 30 balls before the break but was almost caught by Mohammed Siraj, who held on to a skier at fine leg before stepping over the boundary rope. Siraj had snatched the momentum with the last act on Saturday evening, bowling Zak Crawley with a clinical yorker, and was soon causing more problems for Duckett. He turned his overnight 34 into a fourth half-century of the series but never really settled in lasting 40 awkward minutes. He was beaten eight times, edging three deliveries and missing five more. Siraj was responsible for most of his troubles but it was Prasidh Krishna who got the rewards, coming on at the Pavilion End and striking lucky with his fourth ball as Duckett threw the kitchen sink at a drive. After seeing England fail to claim six catches in the third innings, KL Rahul showed them how it was done with a rock solid take at slip. Krishna, gamely filling the considerable boots of Jasprit Bumrah, came desperately close to pinning Root lbw for just three but saw his huge appeal rejected. Ball-tracking showed it was clipping leg stump, but not enough to overturn the decision. After an hour's play England had scraped together 37 runs, briefly accelerating as Pope hit three fours in an over off Krishna, including one classy on-drive. But that was the end of a cameo rather than the start of something more substantial, Siraj charging in and nailing him in front of the stumps. At 106 for three, India had taken control but the arrival of Brook brought a screeching gear shift. He went for all-out aggression, at one stage lashing 27 runs in eight balls. That included a crunch through midwicket and a lavish six over cover off Akash Deep before his near miss at fine-leg, risking his wicket but picking up six more for his efforts. Siraj looked mortified as he realised he had overbalanced, with the English fans revelling in his anguish. Krishna, meanwhile, had to quietly shelve the celebrations he had already started to perform.

Caitlin Clark caught whispering with Sophie Cunningham about WNBA rival who 'hates' her in viral clip
Caitlin Clark appeared to gossip with Sophie Cunningham about a WNBA rival who 'hates' her during the Indiana Fever's win over the Dallas Wings on Friday night. Footage captured by ION shows Cunningham whispering into the ear of Clark, who has been out for the last three weeks with a groin injury, while sitting on the bench together in Dallas. It is unclear what the Fever guard initially said given to her superstar teammate she was covering her mouth with a towel. However, Clark seemingly responds to Cunningham by saying: 'Yep, I know... she hates me.' Fans quickly began to speculate about who the Indiana sensation could have been talking about if those comments were lip read accurately. One Dallas player she has feuded with in the past is DiJonai Carrington, who infamously poked her in the eye during the 2024 WNBA playoffs. 'Yup, I know. She hates me' Caitlin Clark after Sophie Cunningham whispered in her ear 😭 — BricksCenter (@BricksCenter) August 2, 2025 Clark was left with a black eye after the poke, which came while Carrington was playing for the Connecticut Sun. No foul was called despite the contact knocking her to the ground, before the Sun went on to claim victory in Game 1. In her postgame press conference, Clark was sporting a clear shiner on her right eye after the finger to the face. 'Obviously, she got me pretty good in the eye,' she told reporters about the poke. One month after the incident, Carrington mocked Clark by recreating the poke during an Instagram live stream with girlfriend and fellow WNBA player NaLyssa Smith. Smith looked to deliberately catch her eye before she said, 'You poked me in the eye' with a smile on her face. The pair then began laughing as Carrington asked, 'Did you do it on purpose?' - an apparent dig at USA TODAY columnist Christine Brennan for suggesting she poked Clark intentionally. Cunningham, who has become Clark's enforcer on the court since joining the Fever this year, recently leapt to her teammate's defense after claiming she is unfairly targeted by her WNBA rivals. 'You have seen players in our league try and toughen up Caitlin. Even when I wasn't on her team. I know the talks that Phoenix had in the locker room,' Sophie said on her new Show Me Something podcast. ''No, we're going to show her what the W really is'. I get it to a certain extent. Every rookie coming into the league, that's how you're going to treat them. 'But there's just more for her. Now, being on her team, I'm like: 'What are people doing?! It's just too much'.
