Clark's final-ball six wins it for Superchargers
Graham Clark hit the final ball for six to snatch a dramatic three-wicket victory for Northern Superchargers against Southern Brave in The Hundred.Needing five for victory or four for a tie, Durham batter Clark heaved England international Tymal Mills over the boundary at mid-wicket.In a see-sawing finale, Superchargers needed only 11 from the last 10 with five wickets left before Jofra Archer struck twice and conceded only one run from his final five balls.Clark swept the second ball of the last set from Mills for four to leave five to get from three but when Mills followed with two dot balls the hosts still appeared favourites. Mills opted for a slower ball again, however, and dropped to the ground when Clark clubbed it for six. Clark, in contrast, roared in delight and finished 38 not out from 24 balls, having left the previous delivery believing it to be a wide outside off stump. "That felt euphoric," he told Sky sports."I thought I messed it up when I left the ball before, but it's a good feeling to get over the line."Clark came in at number six when Superchargers and England white-ball captain Harry Brook was caught off Mills for 24. Dan Lawrence holed out for 10, while opener Zak Crawley was caught for 29. Superchargers were helped by an injury to Chris Jordan, who left the field with an apparent groin injury with 49 needed from 35 balls and Mitchell Santner capitalised by hitting Michael Bracewell's spin for a six and a four.Santner, who took 2-24 in Brave's 139-5 - with fellow New Zealander and debutant Jacob Duffy also taking 3-26 - became Archer's first victim and Tom Lawes followed for a duck, but Clark proved to be Superchargers' match-winner.The victory is their second from three games in this year's Hundred and ends the Brave's winning start.

Rangers boss Martin staying buoyant amid an ocean of criticism following pep talk from surprise source
Landing the biggest job of his career at a time when Rangers were coming under American ownership, there was much to enthuse Russell Martin on arrival at Ibrox a couple of months ago. With an initial investment of £20million being pumped into the club's coffers — and a blank canvas on which to create his blueprint — this was a fresh start in a league which, in theory, suited his style of play. Where Martin had struggled so badly with Southampton at the bottom of the English Premier League last season, life at Rangers would be different. No longer would he be trying to punch above his weight. In Glasgow, he would be in charge of a team who are expected to dominate on a weekly basis. His obsession with possession, and insistence on playing out from the back, would suffocate so many of the opponents attempting a low block on the domestic scene. Before we have even reached mid-August, however, that particular theory is already being questioned. In two Premiership matches so far, Rangers have laboured to a couple of 1-1 draws with Motherwell and Dundee. Martin would never have been naive enough to expect a quick fix when he took the job. Tasked with trying to turn around a failing institution, overnight success was never really on the cards. It would take time. 'Aye, but you don't get time at the Old Firm.' That's a statement so often uttered on radio phone-ins and fan forums, and it remains comfortably the most tiresome and unhelpful cliche in Scottish football. To be questioning a manager's future at such an early juncture, as some Rangers supporters have done this week, is a nonsense. Such short-sighted, short-termism has blighted the club for years. None of this is to say that Martin gets a free pass. Barring the first leg of the Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Plzen at Ibrox, which Rangers won 3-0, the standard of football has been poor. In the return leg in the Czech Republic in midweek, Rangers were fortunate to go through despite losing 2-1 on the night. Plzen wasted numerous gilt-edged chances and could easily have scored two or three more goals. Martin admitted afterwards that the performance hadn't been good enough. He wasn't trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. He called the game as every other punter saw it. Indeed, his comments after pretty much every game so far have been honest and accurate. He hasn't tried to spin an alternative reality, as his predecessors Philippe Clement and Michael Beale would do regularly. This will take time to get right. The problem is that fans are fed up of hearing it, despite Martin showing more honesty and having a better style of play than the pair before him. It's a delicate situation. How does Martin balance the need for patience with the need to show progress and deliver results? 'I think there's been an energy around this place for a while, I'm talking inside and outside, it's just been a lot of disappointment and a lot of frustration and a lot of criticism (of) the players, (of) the club,' said Martin, whose side face Alloa in the Premier Sports Cup tonight. 'Everyone has an opinion; everyone's entitled to one. So while I'm here, while we are here, our job is to really focus on what we can affect and what we can impact. 'If we do our jobs to the best of our ability and focus on the work and being better and having really, really high standards that this club should stand for, then I just don't see how it doesn't go in the right direction. 'One of the maintenance guys here this week said: 'We're turning a tanker around, gaffer, and it will just take some time, but when we get it going...'. 'I thought it was a perfect analogy. 'He's a great guy. He was here when I was here before (as a player). I don't want to embarrass him but, honestly, when he said that, I was like: 'No, you're right. We just qualified for the Champions League (play-off).'. 'I spoke to the staff last Sunday after Dundee because everyone here supports the club and they really feel things. 'But our job in here is to try and just work, not let the outside noise affect how we work. It just can't.' Earlier this week, former Rangers midfielder Halliday was scathing in his criticism of some of the performances under Martin so far. Halliday, who was a team-mate during Martin's loan spell at Ibrox back in 2018, claimed on a podcast that the manager's tactical approach was leaving Rangers badly short of numbers in attack and devoid of creativity. 'You'll ask me about Andy Halliday's criticism at some point, I am sure, but it can't impact the work we do,' said Martin. 'We need to be really consistent in the process here. We need to be really consistent in our behaviour, be really consistent in what we're asking them to do. 'And then that consistency will show up on the pitch. I've been in this situation at every club we've been at. This is why I can sit here calmly and tell you what I think is going to happen next. 'We just have to trust the work and trust each other. And I've spoken to the players relentlessly about that. 'And I can see what's coming with them, how they're growing into the culture we're trying to build, how they're adapting to it, and that's why I'm excited about what's going to come.' Pressed on whether he had an issue with Halliday's comments, Martin said: 'No, I like Andy. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I regard him as a really good ex-team-mate and a good person and I like him. 'So I'm sure at some point we'll have a coffee in the West End and we'll sit down and discuss some. I know he wants to coach at some point. 'But when you work in the media, you have to give an opinion, right? So I've got absolutely no problem with it at all. Although I have never said we're going to play with inverted full-backs, I have told him that.' With a Champions League play-off clash with Club Brugge to come on Tuesday, Martin will rotate his squad against Alloa. New signings Thelo Aasgaard and Mikey Moore are both available and could make their debuts, with Hamza Igamane also fit again and ready to play. 'It's a nice position to be in,' added Martin. 'We'll see how many minutes they'll get on the pitch, but they'll all be back involved. 'We're not going to make 11 changes. So there'll be a chance for some people to play, for sure, but there are also some people who need to keep building and keep improving their performance. 'But, yeah, I'm looking forward to (seeing) some of the guys that will get opportunities, whether it's starting, whether it's coming off the bench, to see what they can bring us and how they can help us 'With Thelo and Mikey, I think they'll be top players, I really do. So much talent, character, courage to take the ball, creative, but really willing to run, physically both very good. So I think they'll help us a lot.'

Liverpool v Bournemouth: Premier League season opener
Update: Date: 2025-08-15T18:30:13.000Z Title: These two clubs are on the verge of doing some business with each other … Content: Premier League updates from 8pm BST at Anfield Match previews | Reds sign Leoni | Email Scott here Scott Murray Fri 15 Aug 2025 20.30 CEST First published on Fri 15 Aug 2025 19.30 CEST 8.30pm CEST 20:30 … but that's not the only news of Liverpool in the market today. 8.24pm CEST 20:24 Season previews. Time for one last look before the first ball is kicked in anger. 8.06pm CEST 20:06 Slot continues: 'We have lost many players and brought in many … even yesterday we brought in one who is not available yet … we have lost a few very good players … the ones we brought in are special as well … in general [in pre-season] we don't concede more chances, but the ones we do concede have led to goals.' Updated at 8.26pm CEST 8.00pm CEST 20:00 Arne Slot speaks to Sky Sports, and first addresses the impact on his squad of this tragic summer. 'The players are far better than I expected five or six weeks ago … in that moment in time, you feel will it ever be possible to play again? … but they have conducted themselves so, so, so well … on both sides they were great, as a human being, but they also understood they have to be professional football players again … so we had to work hard, and that's what we started doing.' Updated at 8.25pm CEST 7.54pm CEST 19:54 Liverpool name four Premier League debutants this evening. Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez all start, as they did at Wembley against Crystal Palace last weekend in the Community Shield. Bournemouth aren't far behind them in that regard. They've got three new players in their line-up tonight: goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović, left-back Adrien Truffert and central defender Bafodé Diakité all make their competitive debuts for the Cherries. 7.49pm CEST 19:49 Liverpool: Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Chiesa, Jones, Elliott, Robertson, Nyoni, Ngumoha. Bournemouth: Petrovic, Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert, Adams, Scott, Brooks, Tavernier, Semenyo, Dennis, Araujo, Soler, Junior Kroupi, Hill, Traore, Billing, Winterburn, Rees-Dottin. Referee: Anthony Taylor (Cheshire). Updated at 8.07pm CEST 7.45pm CEST 19:45 Diogo Jota is pictured on the cover of this evening's match programme. Arne Slot pays tribute to Liverpool's No20 and his brother André Silva in his notes, which confirm that Jota's wife Rute Cardoso, his children and family will be at Anfield this evening. There will be a moment of silence before kick-off, the players will wear black armbands, and Liverpool will wear a Forever 20 emblem on their shirts and jackets. We know that this will be a very emotional occasion, given it is the first league game we have played since we lost Diogo and André. As I have said previously, the tributes that have been paid throughout the football world, and especially within the LFC community, have been truly special, and I know that tonight we will come together to honour them once more. I believe that Diogo's wife, his children and his family will be in attendance and it is important that, as a club, we show that they will always have our love and support as they deal with this most tragic of situations. We are there for them always.' Updated at 7.45pm CEST 7.30pm CEST 19:30 Almost exactly one year ago – 363 days, to be precise – Liverpool found themselves struggling during their season opener at Portman Road. Newly promoted Ipswich Town had been the better team in the first half, and with nearly an hour on the clock, the score remained goalless. But then Trent Alexander-Arnold curled in from the right, finding his team-mate who ... ... flashed a header wide from six yards, when it was surely easier to score. Ah well. No matter, though! That team-mate, an indefatigable bundle of joyous energy, selfless commitment, Fowleresque skill, and straight-up fun, wasn't to be disheartened. He simply came at Ipswich again, 60 seconds later, entering the box to meet a Mohamed Salah pass by calmly and adroitly whipping a firm sidefoot into the corner. The first goal of the Arne Slot era, a crucial momentum-shifter, and the first step towards Premier League glory. Diogo Jota took Liverpool to victory. Better than Figo, don't you know? A year is a long time by any reasonable measure, but with another season opener upon us, all of that feels particularly distant now. Anfield, staging its first competitive fixture since the tragic passing of Diogo and his brother André Silva, will remember, grieve and celebrate those beautiful, beloved boys tonight with a special Kop mosaic in their honour. Then a game of football will take place. Kick-off will be at 8pm UK time, and Jota is forever Liverpool's number 20.
