Rahul digs in as India build lead over England
Resuming on 90-2, with a lead of 96, India captain Shubman Gill, who made his highest test score in the first innings, chopped onto his stumps to fall for eight, a second wicket for Brydon Carse.
England continued to create chances. Rahul was dropped by Harry Brook on 58 after reaching his 18th test half century and Rishabh Pant survived a DRS review for lbw.
The pair played cautiously but kept the scoreboard ticking with Rahul unbeaten on 72 at the interval and Pant on 31.

Man suspected of racially abusing Bournemouth's Semenyo banned from stadiums
A 47-year-old man from Liverpool who was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth player Antoine Semenyo has been conditionally bailed and banned from attending soccer matches, Merseyside Police said on Monday. Friday's Premier League match between Liverpool and Bournemouth at Anfield was halted during the first half after Semenyo told the referee he was targeted by a man in the crowd. The Ghana forward netted twice in the second period, but Liverpool won the match 4-2. Police said a man had been ejected from Anfield over the incident and announced they had made an arrest the following day. "He has now been bailed with conditions, which includes not to attend any regulated football match in the UK and not to go within one mile of a designated football stadium," Merseyside Police said in a statement, adding that the investigation was still ongoing. FIFA president Gianni Infantino condemned the racist abuse directed at Semenyo, saying that the Players' Voice Panel will aid the 25-year-old. On Saturday, Semenyo thanked his teammates, Liverpool, match officials and the "entire football family" for their support.

Forest sign French striker Kalimuendo from Rennes
Nottingham Forest have signed French striker Arnaud Kalimuendo from Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais on a five-year deal, the Premier League club said on Monday. Financial details of the transfer were not revealed but British media reported Forest paid about 26 million pounds ($35.19 million) for the 23-year-old. Kalimuendo came through Paris St Germain's academy and had two loan spells at Lens before joining Rennes in 2022, scoring 40 goals from 112 appearances in all competitions. At Lens, he netted 21 goals in 65 appearances. Kalimuendo was impressive in 2024-25, with 18 goals and four assists in 34 matches for Rennes. He was part of the France squad that won silver at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. "This is a proud moment for me, joining a team who had a strong season last year and a club with great history," Kalimuendo said. "I'm ready for the challenge, and I arrive here with good experience. I had a good season last year with goals and assists but I want more and want to reach a new level here." Forest have spent about 147 million pounds on seven signings in the transfer window, including three in the last three days. Kalimuendo joins midfielder James McAtee from Manchester City for 30 million pounds and winger Omari Hutchinson from Ipswich Town for 37.5 million at the City Ground. Forest, who finished fifth last season, began the new campaign with a 3-1 home win over Brentford on Sunday. The Midlands club are also playing in the Europa League, which will be their first European campaign since 1996. ($1 = 0.7388 pounds)

Convert Suaalii savouring test experiences with Wallabies
CAPE TOWN - It has been such a heady nine months for Joseph Suaalii since his Australia rugby union debut that the 22-year-old powerhouse finds it hard to pick out a highlight. A former Australia under-18 international, Suaalii spent four seasons playing as a centre in rugby league before making a high-profile, big-money switch back to the 15-man game last October, quickly followed by his debut for the Wallabies against England at Twickenham in November. This year he played all three tests for Australia as they lost 2-1 in the home series against the British & Irish Lions and last Saturday scored a first test try in a speedy breakaway to help seal a shock 38-22 win over world champions South Africa in Johannesburg at the start of this year's Rugby Championship. 'Honestly, I've really enjoyed the whole experience so far,' he told a press conference on Monday. 'Playing at Twickenham and then playing at Ellis Park and then going up against the Lions. It's pretty hard to say which one's the best but yeah I'm just enjoying every single part of what rugby union brings. 'I've been in (rugby) league, in a different environment and then coming across (to rugby union), I feel like you live with the boys here and they become your family away from your family, so I'm really enjoying building different relationships and experiencing different things in different countries with your best mates. 'I feel like travelling the world is something every young kid wants to do, so I'm just enjoying the dream that's being created,' he added. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

There was a burden of expectation, but Suaalii says he brushed all that aside. 'I've always said it. The game of rugby is just not me," he added. There's 23 players who are playing ... actually, no, there's more. You know, you've got the whole training week with the players that don't get picked and then you've got coaches and everyone. So it's just not me. 'Obviously it was a lot of talk around (his move across from rugby league) but at the end of the day it's a team sport. That's how I just see it. I don't really see it as pressure on me. How can I be best for the team? So that's how I see it.' REUTERS
