Nat Sciver-Brunt fires England to series clean sweep over West Indies
England's Charlie Dean bowling during the third Women's One Day International match at The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton (Image: Nick Potts/PA) Nat Sciver-Brunt blasted 57 not out to seal a 3-0 one-day international series win for England over West Indies after a rain-affected nine-wicket success in Taunton, writes PA Sport staff. Wet weather looked set to deny new England head coach Charlotte Edwards a clean sweep across her first two white-ball series after a near five-hour delay. Advertisement However, staff at Taunton were able to get a 21-over contest under way and West Indies collapsed from 43 for three to 106 for eight before captain Sciver-Brunt's destructive 33-ball innings got England home with ease. A disastrous start for the tourists saw them slip to four for three, with England's opening attack of Kate Cross and Em Arlott proving to be deadly. Cross struck with the second ball of the match as Grimmond feathered behind to Amy Jones and a fantastic delivery from Arlott smashed into Zaida James' middle stump. Stafanie Taylor was then trapped lbw by Arlott and Shemaine Campbelle and Qiana Joseph began the recovery effort for the West Indies, dragging their side to 43 for three until rain stopped play in the 13th over just before 12pm. Advertisement A lengthy delay followed and as the hours passed more overs were lost, but at 4pm it was revealed a 21-over match could be salvaged. When play did resume an hour later, Charlie Dean accounted for West Indies captain Campbelle immediately after a fine stumping by Jones and while Aaliyah Alleyne struck six fours in an entertaining 27, she was one of three wickets for Sarah Glenn. Glenn claimed two scalps during a dramatic final over to restrict the tourists to 106 for eight before Sophia Dunkley signalled her intent, with the second ball of England's chase crunched for four through cover. Dunkley continued to hit boundaries regularly until she was trapped lbw by Karishma Ramharack for 26 to leave the hosts on 40 for one. Advertisement That brought Alice Capsey to the crease but it was captain Sciver-Brunt who upped the ante in cloudy conditions. Sciver-Brunt smashed Ramharack for three fours in a 10th over which went for 16 runs, with the final boundary an inch-perfect sweep. With her fifty within touching distance, Sciver-Brunt crunched another four down the ground before two successive boundaries off Ashmini Munisar brought up her half-century and ensured England got over the line with 61 balls to spare.

UK proposes wider ban on destructive bottom trawling
A ban on a "destructive" type of fishing that drags large nets along the seafloor could be extended across English waters, the government has proposal would expand the the prohibition of bottom trawling fishing to a further 30,000 km2 (around 11,500 sq miles) across 41 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The plan is subject to a 12-week industry announcement comes as a UN Ocean Conference begins on Monday in France, and amid warnings from Sir David Attenborough that bottom trawling is destroying areas of the seabed and marine Secretary Steve Reed said "without urgent action our oceans will be irreversibly destroyed". Speaking before the summit, Sir David told Prince William he was "appalled" by the fishing method. The naturalist's latest documentary Ocean With David Attenborough showed new footage of a bottom trawling net bulldozing through silt on the seafloor and scooping up species week, MPs on the Environmental Audit Committee renewed calls to ban bottom trawling, dredging and mining for aggregates, on the seabed in offshore government says the proposed measures would protect rare marine animals and the delicate seabeds they rely upon. It says it has carried out detailed assessments into the harms caused to habitats and species.A 12-week consultation will run until 1 September and will seek the views of the marine and fishing industry. Ariana Densham, head of oceans at Greenpeace UK, said the consultation was "ultimately a long-overdue completion of a process started by the previous government".The Wildlife Trust said it hoped the extended ban would be put in place "rapidly". It would be a "win-win for both nature and the climate," added the trust's director of policy and public affairs, Joan Edwards. Pressure is also building for more countries to ratify the High Seas Treaty at the Ocean Conference in Nice. The treaty was agreed by 193 countries two years ago to put 30% of the ocean into protected areas. The treaty will not come into force until it is ratified by 60 countries, with the current number standing at 28. The UK is among those countries that has yet to ratify.

Pacers fail to sweep Games 1 and 2 in a series for the first time in these playoffs
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — For the Indiana Pacers, a chance at being perfect in Games 1 and 2 of these playoffs went awry. They'll have to settle for a mere split of the opening two games in the NBA Finals instead. The Pacers' bid to become the fifth team in NBA history to go 8-0 to open the four playoff rounds — sweeping Games 1 and 2 in all four series — was stopped on Sunday night by the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder took control early and won Game 2 123-107, tying the championship matchup at a game apiece. The Pacers were trying to join the 1986 Boston Celtics, 1987 Los Angeles Lakers, 1996 Chicago Bulls and 2017 Golden State Warriors as teams that won Games 1 and 2 in all four rounds of a single postseason. All four went on to win the NBA title. Those teams all did it with home-court advantage in every one of those series. The Pacers haven't had home court since Round 1 — taking the first two of that series against Milwaukee, then winning the first two of Round 2 at Cleveland, the first two of the Eastern Conference final at New York, and Game 1 of the finals in Oklahoma City. So, in the end, the Pacers have to settle for going 7-1, tying for the fifth-best record in Games 1 and 2 in a single postseason. They also became the third team to win five of those games on the road in a playoff run. Houston went 5-3 in Games 1 and 2 on the road on its way to the title in 1995 and Miami went 5-3 in road games over the first two games of series in 2023 on its way to the NBA Finals. (The Heat were 6-2 in 'road' games in Games 1 and 2 of their series in the 2020 bubble playoffs as well, but those games were all in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.) 'I'm not interested in talking about the past,' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. 'Each day, as you are on a playoff run, is like a new day. I find that looking back is a dangerous thing. We've got to keep our eye firmly where it needs to be.' If the Pacers had won Sunday, they likely would have been overwhelming favorites heading home with a 2-0 lead. Only two teams — the 1993 Chicago Bulls and 1995 Houston Rockets — won the first two games of a finals on the road, and both went on to win the NBA title in those seasons. And teams that open the finals with a 2-0 lead go on to win the series 86.5% of the time (32 times in 37 chances). ___ AP NBA:
