The Latest: England beats Spain in a penalty shootout after 1-1 draw to retain title
BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — Defending champion England has won the Women's European Championship after defeating Spain in the final. HT Image The match in Basel was a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final where Spain defeated the Lionesses 1-0. Coincidentally, the same countries played in the men's European Championship final last year. Spain won that match 2-1. Here's the latest: England has defended its European title by defeating Spain in a penalty shootout. The game was tied at 1-1 after extra time. England won the shootout 3-1 with Chloe Kelly scoring the winning penalty kick. It's 1-1 at full time and the players are coming off the pitch for a quick break. Then it's extra time: two times 15 minutes to break the deadlock. England equalized when Alessia Russo made it 1-1 in the 57th minute. Chloe Kelly whipped one of her trademark crosses into the box from the left and Russo rose above the defense to make it 1-1. Spain heads into the break in the lead after Mariona Caldentey's goal in the 25th. Both teams traded early blows but Spain looked stronger after the goal. La Roja kept most of the possession and did not allow England to threaten much. England also trailed at halftime in the quarterfinal against Sweden and semifinal against Italy, but still won both games. Mariona Caldentey has made it 1-0 for Spain in the 25th minute. Ona Batlle whipped in a cross from the right, after good work by Aitana Bonmati, and Caldentey headed it powerfully home. Swiss former player Lara Dickenmann carried the trophy out onto the field after the closing ceremony of Euro 2025. A large circular banner was unfurled in the center of the field in tribute to the host nation, while smaller banners were displayed nearby with 'Thank You' in Switzerland's four official languages —Italian, French, German, and Romansh. Two large Alpine-inspired shapes were then carried onto the field, with the England flag on one and Spain's on the other. Nearly 30,000 inflatable clappers had been distributed to the fans beforehand, while 40 members of the closing ceremony cast also had them on the field. The Asturia Quartet, an all-female string ensemble, performed the national anthems. In somewhat of a surprise change, Athenea Del Castillo has been named in Spain's starting lineup in place of Claudia Pina. Del Castillo's only other start in the tournament was in the final group-stage match, against Italy, when many regular starters were rested with Spain already through. The Real Madrid forward scored one and set up another. She also scored the opener in the quarterfinal win against Switzerland just four minutes after coming onto the field. Pina was decisive the last time Spain played England, scoring twice to help her team to a 2-1 comeback victory in the Nations League last month. The only other change to Spain's lineup from its semifinal victory over Germany is the return of defender Laia Aleixandri from suspension, with María Méndez dropping back down to the bench. Spain's lineup: Coll; Batlle, Paredes, Aleixandri, Olga; Bonmatí, Patri, Putellas; Mariona, González, Del Castillo. Lauren James has recovered from injury and starts for England with coach Sarina Wiegman making just one change. James had to come off at halftime in England's semifinal victory over Italy on Tuesday with an ankle problem and was seen applying ice to her injury during the match. James has started all five of England's games at Euro 2025 and has been named in the lineup for the final. Defender Jess Carter returns after being omitted from the starting lineup for the first time against Italy, for tactical reasons, two days after revealing she was the target of racist abuse online during the tournament. England's lineup: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Carter, Greenwood; Toone, Walsh, Stanway; James, Russo, Hemp. Basel's soccer stadium has a capacity of 34,250 during Euro 2025 and no empty seats are expected at the final. With an hour to go until kickoff, thousands of fans have already taken their seats. Even before the final, the tournament has broken the total attendance record for a Women's European Championship. A total of 623,088 spectators have attended the 30 matches so far, surpassing the previous total attendance record of 574,875 from Euro 2022. There have been intermittent torrential showers and thunderstorms but that has not dampened the spirits of thousands of Spanish and England fans that have been gathering in the fan zones in Basel. The rain teemed down about two hours before kickoff but the sun came out shortly afterward and the skies above St. Jakob-Park have cleared up for now. England got off to a rough start with a 2-1 defeat to France, becoming the first reigning champion to lose its opening match at a women's Euros. The team bounced back with a 4-0 victory over the Netherlands and a 6-1 thrashing of Wales. Then came the craziness of its quarterfinal against Sweden when it was trailing 2-0 with 12 minutes to go before equalizing and taking the match to extra time and a penalty shootout. There were nine failed penalty attempts before England finally triumphed 3-2. England left it even later in its semifinal against Italy. Teenager Michelle Agyemang leveled in stoppage time to force extra time and fellow substitute Chloe Kelly scored in the 119th minute to secure a 2-1 win, just as it appeared another penalty shootout was looming. Spain swept through the group stage, winning all three matches against Portugal, Belgium and Italy — scoring 14 goals and conceding three. Spain found it tougher to get past Switzerland in the quarterfinals but finally broke the resistance of the host nation with two quickfire goals midway through the second half. Spain also missed two penalties and hit the woodwork three times. Like England, its semifinal lasted 120 minutes. It took a moment of magic from two-time Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmatí in the 113th minute to secure a 1-0 win over Germany. ___ AP soccer:

WATCH: Jadeja, Washington refuse Ben Stokes' draw offer in final-session drama at Old Trafford
Tempers flared between India and England once more in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy as Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar refused England's offer to draw the Test match in the final session of the fourth Test in Manchester on Sunday. With the possibility of a win over, England captain Ben Stokes went up to Jadeja to end the contest. The Indian batters, though, wanted the match to carry on for longer. Jadeja was batting on 90 while Washington, on 84, was on the cusp of a maiden Test century. "If you want a hundred, you should have batted like it earlier" "You're going to get a Test hundred against Harry Brook & Ben Duckett" #ENGvIND | # — Sportstar (@sportstarweb) July 27, 2025 According to rule 12.7.6 in the ICC Test playing conditions, 'On the final day, if both captains (the batters at the wicket may act for their captain) accept that there is no prospect of either side achieving a victory, they may agree to finish the match after (a) the time for the commencement of the last hour has been reached OR (b) there are a minimum of 15 overs to be bowled, whichever is the later.' Upon the Indians' insistence to carry on the contest, Stokes was heard at the stump mic saying, 'Jaddu, do you want to get a Test 100 against Brook & Duckett?' Other England players Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett and Harry Brook also exchanged words with the batters. Brook offered full tosses to Jadeja in his next over, which Jadeja hit for a six and four through the on side to complete his century. Washington, too, reached his century off Brook, hitting him inside out over covers.

Fully support substitutes: Coach Gambhir suggests major ICC rule change after Pant injury
India head coach Gautam Gambhir has strongly advocated for the inclusion of injury substitutes in Test cricket, particularly in cases of externally-caused or serious injuries. Gambhir's remarks come in the wake of Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant sustaining a serious foot injury on the opening day of the fourth Test against England in Manchester - a moment that has reignited debate over the limitations of substitution rules in the red-ball after the drawn Test at Old Trafford, Gambhir said: "Yes - if there's an external injury or serious concern, I fully support having a substitute. Especially in a series like this, if someone's visibly injured, there's nothing wrong with making a change. In a long series like this, you can't be forced to play with just ten players."ENG vs IND, 4th Test Day 5: Highlights Pant was batting on 37 when he attempted a reverse sweep to a yorker from Chris Woakes and suffered a fracture to his right foot. The injury forced him to retire hurt and be driven off the ground, unable to walk. In what was widely regarded as an extraordinary act of resilience, the 27-year-old returned to the crease the next morning after India lost their sixth wicket and completed his 18th Test fifty, pushing India close to the injury has since ruled Pant out of the fifth and final Test at The Oval. With him unable to don the gloves, Dhruv Jurel kept wicket during England's first innings, and uncertainty remains over Pant's fitness to bat again in Manchester. The timing and severity of the incident have added to India's mounting concerns as they look to level the episode has turned the spotlight on the ICC's substitution protocols, which currently permit like-for-like replacements only in cases of concussion - a rule introduced in 2019. Serious injuries not related to concussion, even those caused by external impact, do not fall under this provision. As a result, teams are often left to cope with one less player for the remainder of the sentiments were echoed by legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar, who urged the ICC to revisit its regulations in light of Pant's misfortune."If a concussion substitute is allowed, why not one for a serious external injury like this?" Gavaskar said. "This isn't a hamstring or muscle strain - this was an impact injury that could derail a team's campaign."Pant's injury, described by many as freakish in nature, has had ramifications that go beyond the immediate match. For a side already battling physical wear and tear through a demanding summer, the enforced absence of a key player through no fault of their own has once again raised fundamental questions about competitive India, led by stand-in captain Shubman Gill, showed immense character to salvage a hard-fought draw in Manchester and keep the series alive. After slumping to 0 for 2 early in their second innings, India resisted England's attack for over five sessions, finishing on 425 for 4 on the final struck his fourth century of the series, while Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar batted through the final day with unbeaten hundreds - a display of defiance that left the home side without answers and the Old Trafford crowd the series delicately poised at 2-1 in England's favour, the final Test at The Oval, beginning Thursday, has now assumed enormous significance. England must avoid defeat to win the series, while India will be aiming for a comeback that seemed improbable just days ago.- EndsYou May Also Like
