In an emotional post his wife appealed for help saying: "If anyone has seen Brandon Moore can you please message me?
"I usually wouldn't ever post anything on here like this, but family and friends haven't seen or heard of him and hoping maybe someone's seen sightings of him and can message me?
"I have a 7 week old baby at home and 2 others so I can't go hunting myself other than a car ride. Police contacted. Been missing approx 14 hours now. Thank you."

England vs India live: score, updates from fourth Test day 3

Speaking of Rishabh Pant, one train of thought has been that the India wicketkeeper should have been timed out (remember Angelo Mathews?) yesterday. The talkSPORT pair of Jarrod Kimber and David Lloyd discuss on the Super Over. Meanwhile, both sets of players are out on the pitch warming up (Elizabeth Ammon writes). Rob Key is joining in with the morning football, it's a good job he didn't try to make a living from that sport though, he's not great at it. One of the most astonishing moments of the series has been the sight of India's wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant hobbling out to bat yesterday morning — and then post a half-century, no less. Relive the atmosphere as talkSPORT commentate a remarkable passage of play. Good morning from Old Trafford where the sun is out, there is blue sky overhead and it's set to be a balmy 23C by this afternoon (Elizabeth Ammon writes). England had their best day of the series yesterday and India look a bit broken. They squandered the new ball, the debutant Anshul Kamboj looked underwhelming and Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were not as potent as they have been previously. India bowled a bit better in the evening, particularly Ravi Jadeja, who was getting some grip and turn but England are in a dominant position and you think they'll be eyeing up a massive first-innings score and just batting once.

Keira Walsh wants more protection for players from online abuse

Carter announced she would be stepping away from the platforms for the remainder of the tournament ahead of England's dramatic 2-1 semi-final comeback against Italy to set up Sunday's final showdown with Spain. Walsh came off social media after the 2019 World Cup, when reading negative comments contributed to the midfielder genuinely entertaining the thought of quitting football. 'I think it's just a personal preference,' said Walsh, who did return to the networks, but has – bar a single post – been inactive on X since 2020. Lately, her Instagram account has solely been comprised of tagged posts by the Lionesses, or her respective current and former clubs Chelsea and Barcelona. 'I haven't had social media for the best part of four or five months, and I feel a lot better most of the time,' said Walsh. 'I don't really know what's going on outside of camp. I think at the time, with what's going on, probably more people have come off it, but I can only speak for myself. 'I think obviously the girls are smart enough to know what they should and shouldn't be looking at, and I'm sure they'll know what is going to put them in a good headspace and what isn't. 'Do I think there's enough protection on social media? No, I don't, but I'm not going to be able to change that. That's not up to me, but I think just in general, people can be more protected on social media, and I think we can do more to stop that from happening.' England defender Lucy Bronze has warned companies that athletes can 'thrive' without their services, but the reality remains that in the women's game – where new Arsenal recruit Olivia Smith just became the first £1 million player – brand-building on social media can be a lucrative tool for players earning nowhere near their male equivalents. Carter's case has now been referred to UK police, and, in a statement released Sunday, Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham vowed his organisation will 'ensure those responsible for this hate crime are brought to justice'. One feature of the Online Safety Act, which received royal assent in October 2023, places a greater onus on social media companies to protect users from illegal content. Companies can be fined up to £18 million, or 10 per cent of their global revenue, if they fail to comply with their duties, but Ofcom – which is implementing the act in a phased approach – has only been able to enforce against the Illegal Harms Codes since March 17, 2025. 'I think we would have liked it to have been stronger in some cases,' said Bullingham. 'There's a real risk that if we're not firm in how the act is implemented, it won't be as strong as we hope. 'I think now it's incumbent on Ofcom to make sure they really do bring those responsible for running social media platforms to account and I haven't seen huge progress in the last couple of years. We would like to see it now.' Foreign social media companies operating within the UK are still beholden to the act, but prosecuting individuals living outside the country responsible for abusive content – which is not uncommon – remains a huge hinderance to justice. Bullingham added: 'If you look at the prosecution, obviously we can only work with the UK police, generally. There are, when we work with some of the companies that support us, there are occasions where you can prosecute outside the UK, but it's really hard and generally really expensive.' The FA chief said his organisation has engaged in productive conversations with FIFA and UEFA, encouraging them to put pressure on social media companies to prevent harmful content from appearing in the first place. He added: 'But where there are occasions, make sure we can prosecute. And we do think that people who perpetrate these hate crimes should be prosecuted wherever they are in the world.'

England vs India, fourth Test, day three: live scores and latest updates

Hello and welcome to Telegraph Sport's live, over-by-over coverage of day three at Old Trafford. This could be the day that a seriously hard-fought series turns decisively England's way. If they are still batting at the close, it will take a Herculean effort from India – or a repeat of the 2023 downpour that saved Australia – to stop England taking an unassailable 3-1 lead. England were brilliant yesterday, pummelling India all round Old Trafford with ball and bat. They will resume on 225 for 2, a deficit of 133, after scoring their runs at almost five an over. India bowled poorly, particularly with the new ball, but Zak Crawley and especially Ben Duckett played with a skill and chutzpah that we have rarely, if ever, seen from England openers. 'He's an unbelievable player,' said Crawley of his opening partner. 'We talk a lot in the middle about how we're going to play and some of the stuff he comes up with … he's a phenomenal thinker about the game and he hits the ball in areas that made it hard to contain him. I just tried to stay with him. He's the leader of that partnership.' One word of caution. India's bowling improved as the day progressed and they will come hard at England this morning. And there are some uncomfortable parallels with last year's Rajkot Test. On that occasion England started day three on 207 for 2 in reply to India's 445, having scored their runs at almost six an over. Then Joe Root tried to reverse ramp Jasprit Bumrah and the match went in a different direction. England were destroyed by 434 runs and lost the series 4-1. Not that the England dressing-room will be thinking of Rajkot. The past, the worst-case scenarios, are for people like us. They'll be accentuating a sizeable positive: if they dominate today's play, they will be on the cusp of lifting the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
