Deep bags six as India crush England to seal historic Edgbaston win
India had never won at Edgbaston in eight tests, losing seven, and they were humbled last time out at the venue when England completed their highest successful run chase (378) three years ago.
Faced with the daunting task of chasing 608 to win, however, England crumbled as Deep ripped through the top order and claimed his maiden test five-wicket haul with figures of 6-99 to finish with 10 wickets in the match.
Resuming on 153-6 after lunch, Jamie Smith scored a half-century but nearing another hundred with two consecutive sixes, he fell for 88 going for a third when he was caught at deep backward square to become Deep's fifth victim.
Brydon Carse provided entertainment with the bat as he went after the bowling, but he was the last man out for 38 when he skied Deep to India captain Shubman Gill who fittingly took the catch to seal a famous victory for his team.

West Indies bowl out Australia for 225 after dramatic collapse
Australia lost seven wickets for 68 runs in a dramatic collapse to be all out for 225 on day one of the third and final test against West Indies at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica. West Indies finished the day on 16 for one — 209 runs behind — after Australia's Mitchell Starc bowled Kevlon Anderson off the inside edge in the pacer's 100th test. Starc, 35, is just the second Australian fast bowler after Glenn McGrath to play 100 tests. Australia won the toss and opted to bat first for the day-night test but crumbled despite being 157-3 at one stage as the West Indies bowlers ripped through their middle order before being dismissed in 70.3 overs. Australia's Usman Khawaja and Sam Konstas shared a 28-run opening partnership before Justin Greaves provided the breakthrough for West Indies by removing Konstas. Steve Smith top-scored for Australia with 48, and shared a 61-run stand with Cameron Green, the visitors' highest partnership of the day. West Indies quick Shamar Joseph finished with 4-33, the pick of the home bowlers, while Jayden Seales and Justin Greaves took three wickets each. For West Indies, opener Brandon King was batting on eight with skipper Roston Chase on three at the other end after losing Anderson for three runs. West Indies fielded a makeshift opening pair of Anderson and King after Mikyle Louis and John Campbell sustained injuries while fielding and were sent to hospital for scans. "Every pitch has been tough. The more balls you spend in the middle you hope it gets better but it just hasn't been the case," Green told broadcasters. "It's a bit of a grind first time with these balls, but a lot of learnings. Time in the middle is key – just trying to get used to their bowlers, their conditions. "Very happy with our position (in this test). We wanted to give them a tricky last 45 minutes. To get them one down is crucial, and we'll wait and see what happens tomorrow."

At Wimbledon, Anisimova won against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals, marking a huge achievement in her sporting career. For the eighth consecutive tournament, Wimbledon will crown a new ladies' singles champion. The most recent woman to win back-to-back titles was Serena Williams, who secured her seventh Wimbledon singles crown in 2016. By reaching the finals, Swiatek and Anisimova will now earn at least 1,300 points in the PIF WTA Rankings and the Race to the WTA Finals Riyadh. They also have £1,520,000 (S$2,644,800) as their prize money. The winner of the singles title will boost those numbers to 2,000 points and earn a prize of £3,000,000.

We won't fear group leaders Spain, says Italy defender Elisabetta Oliviero
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Italy's Elisabetta Oliviero has said that her side will not fear Spain in their Euro 2025 clash on Friday. – Italy go into their clash against Spain at Women's Euro 2025 on July 11 with no fear of the Group B leaders, defender Elisabetta Oliviero said, despite her side needing at least a draw to ensure they progress alongside the Spaniards. The Italians looked set to join Spain in the last eight, but they conceded a late equaliser in their previous game which gave Portugal a 1-1 draw and leaves Italy with some work to do. They will be sure of reaching the quarter-finals if they avoid defeat by Spain, or if Portugal do not beat Belgium. 'It's not a joke – I'm telling you, we don't have any (fear) because it's not a matter of fear,' Oliviero said. 'Tomorrow we play our game with a lot of respect, but I repeat, we will play for (against) Spain like any other nation we will meet, or any other situation. 'Spain has weak points like everyone, and we will definitely study them. Football is a special sport, and that's the beauty of it. We will see many things on the pitch.' Spain's embarrassment of attacking riches has seen them score a staggering 11 goals in two games so far, thrashing Portugal 5-0 in their opener, and following that with a 6-2 drubbing of Belgium, to book their place in the last eight.

'When they score those goals in matches, I'm not surprised because they do exactly the same thing in training,' Spain's Adriana Nanclares told reporters on July 9. 'In the end, it's a luxury to have them. 'It speaks a lot about the individual ambition of each of them.' The two sides meet at Bern's Wankdorf Stadium on July 11. Meanwhile, Lauren James made sure England avoided a major scare with a brace in the 4-0 thumping of the Netherlands in Zurich on July 9 which kick-started the Lionesses' title defence. Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone scored the other goals as England swept the Dutch aside and moved second in Group D, level on points with the Dutch, and three points behind leaders France who thrashed Wales 4-1 in St Gallen. 'I enjoyed it a lot. The goals say it all,' James said to the BBC. 'We bounced back from our previous game (2-1 loss to France) and today we showed we're more than capable of showing the world what we can do. 'I just try to do my best each game.' REUTERS, AFP
