Stokes ready to deal with increased workload despite feeling sore all over
MANCHESTER: With England seemingly reliant on Ben Stokes with bat and ball, the struggling skipper insisted "pain is just an emotion" as he plans to take to the field for his side's fifth and deciding test against India this week. The England captain struggled with cramp in his left leg and was feeling his shoulder as the hosts failed to bowl India out in their second innings at Old Trafford on Sunday and had to settle for a fourth test draw. Stokes took his first five-wicket haul for eight years in India's first innings, an impressive feat given his recent injury issues. "It's just a workload sort of thing," Stokes told reporters after the draw with India left England leading 2-1 in the five-match series. "We got a fair amount of overs and everything starts creeping up on you. I'll keep trying, keep going and as I say to all the bowlers: pain is just an emotion. "I'll always try to run through a brick wall for the team." Stokes revealed he had hurt his bicep tendon, with his injury niggles the result of a taxing workload that has seen him already send down 140 overs in four tests – the most he has ever bowled in a series. However, Stokes, the leading wicket-taker of the series, is optimistic of taking to the field at the Oval on Thursday as England try to seal a 3-1 series triumph. "Hopefully I will be alright going for the last one," he said. "I am doing everything possible to be alright. It's been a big five or six weeks, I'll always try to give everything I possibly can. "I don't want to eat my words, but the likelihood I won't play is very unlikely." India showed great character to battle to an unexpected draw, given they are a young team. Shubman Gill, 25, is playing his first test series as captain following the retirements of Indian greats Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin. Coach Gautam Gambhir reserved special praise for his skipper, who became only the third captain to score four hundreds in a single test series to help his side salvage a draw. "These are characters who are sat in the dressing room wanting to fight for their country," Gambhir told reporters. "I don't believe in something like transition. It is still an Indian team. It is only experience and inexperience. Being under pressure, batting five sessions against an attack like England, will do so much for them. "An important thing is he (Gill) is living up to his expectations and his talent. When he goes into bat, he goes in as a batsman, not a captain." — REUTERS

Katie Ledecky relegated to third in 400 at world championships
LEGENDARY swimmer Katie Ledecky didn't have a strong finishing kick on Sunday and finished third in the women's 400-meter freestyle on the opening day of the swimming world championships in Singapore. Canadian star Summer McIntosh won the race in 3:56.26 with China's Li Bingjie (3:58.21) passing Ledecky (3:58.49) in the final 10 meters. McIntosh also finished ahead of Ledecky in the event at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, taking silver while Ledecky settled for bronze. Australia's Ariarne Titmus won gold. Ledecky holds the Olympic record for most medals (14) and gold medals (nine) won by a women's swimmer. Earlier this year, the 18-year-old McIntosh set the world record of 3:54.18 in the event. "I think I'm at my best," McIntosh said after the victory Sunday. "I'm in the best shape of my life. So now I just have to act on that and put it into all my races." Ledecky, 28, also had to hold off Lani Pallister as the Australian placed fourth at 3:58.87. "I would've loved to have been better," Ledecky said in an interview with NBC Sports. "I was a little too focused on the race on one side. "I missed Li on the other side of me, but kudos to her for getting in there. She's been a great competitor all these years. Katie Ledecky relegated to third in 400 at world championships to get the medal. Really fast field. I think the fastest field first through fourth we've ever had." — REUTERS

Defending champions England beat Spain on penalties to win Women's Euro 2025
BASEL, Switzerland: Chloe Kelly converted the decisive kick as England beat Spain 3-1 on penalties to lift the Women's Euro 2025 trophy after Sunday's game had finished 1-1 at the end of extra time, allowing the Lionesses to avenge their defeat in the World Cup final two years ago and retain their continental crown. It looked as though Spain would repeat their victory over England in Sydney in 2023 as they dominated the game at St Jakob-Park in Basel and led through Mariona Caldentey's first-half header. But England did not panic, having already trailed against both Sweden in the quarter-finals and Italy in the semis before finding a way to win. Alessia Russo headed in their equaliser just before the hour mark, and no further goals meant a shoot-out in which Kelly – who once again had a huge impact off the bench – netted the winner. "I was cool, I was composed. I knew I was going to hit the back of the net," Kelly told the BBC of her penalty. It was an agonising way to lose for Spain, but they failed to score three of their spot-kicks, with reigning Ballon d'Or Aitana Bonmati seeing her effort saved. Sarina Wiegman's England are therefore back-to-back European champions, three years after they defeated Germany in extra time at Wembley to win a first women's major tournament. "What a team. What a game. What drama. You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers," British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was at the match, wrote on X. Defeating Spain helps make up for the pain of losing the World Cup final in 2023, and England's victory also confirms Wiegman's place among the coaching greats. She has now won three consecutive European Championships, having led her native Netherlands to victory in 2017 before doing the same with England three years ago. "We said we can win by any means and that's what we have shown again today. I am so proud of the team and the staff. It is incredible," said Wiegman, whose team lost to France in their first match at the tournament. "Losing your first game and becoming European champions is incredible," she added. Spain fell short in their quest to add a maiden European Championship title to the World Cup they won in Australia. La Roja dominated possession as expected, but ultimately paid the price for not killing the game against an England side who never know when they are beaten. "I am in shock," Bonmati told broadcaster TVE before apologising for failing from the spot. "Football is cruel. Everything seems bad right now, but I think we played the best football during the tournament." England, meanwhile, had been 2-0 down against Sweden in the last eight before scoring twice to force extra time as they eventually won on penalties. Then substitute Michelle Agyemang's 96th-minute equaliser denied Italy in the semi-finals, when Kelly netted the extra-time winner. Wiegman took a gamble here on the fitness of Lauren James which paid off, albeit not quite as planned – having come off with an ankle injury against Italy, the Chelsea winger did not last until half-time and was replaced by Kelly. By that point Spain were in front, scoring when Ona Battle crossed from the right for Caldentey to head in. They had already been in control before that and it felt like England's best hope was for complacency from their opponents. The best example of that came with the game still goalless, when Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll played a careless short pass to Laia Aleixandri in her own area. Lauren Hemp was alive to the opportunity and pounced, but Coll made the save. Yet even at 1-0 England were still in the game, and they took their chance in the 57th minute when Kelly crossed from the left for Russo to level. England – with more fans on their side in the crowd of 34,203 – sensed yet another comeback win was on the cards, and it took Coll's fingertips to keep out a Kelly effort midway. The game continued into extra time, and from there to the gripping tension of penalties, in which Beth Mead's first kick for England was saved after she was forced to retake. Captain Leah Williamson also had her effort stopped by Coll, but Alex Greenwood and Niamh Charles both scored, while Patri Guijarro was the only successful taker for Spain before Kelly won it. — AFP
