Cetre leads Estudiantes to comeback win in Argentina's Primera Division
Fabio Pereyra gave his side the lead by heading in from Matko Miljevic's corner but Cetre equalized with a spectacular overhead volley after Guido Carrillo's headed pass. Cetre then turned provider with a driving run and cross for Castro, who sent a bullet header into the top-right corner on Monday.
The result leaves Estudiantes eighth in the 15-team Group A standings with three points from two games while Huracan is last, having failed to pick up a point from its first two matches.
"Edwuin Cetre continues to be influential in attack and we're fortunate to have top-level players like him to unlock matches," Estudiantes manager Eduardo Dominguez said.
"The fans had a right to be angry in the first half. They got behind us in the second and you could see the way their support had a positive impact on the team. I made it clear to the players in the locker room after the match that we need to be more consistent so that the fans are always behind us."
In other fixtures on Monday, San Martin won 3-2 at home to Deportivo Riestra, and Defensa y Justicia eased to a 2-0 home win over Aldosivi.

Gill hits back with gritty fifty as India reach 86/2 at Tea
Manchester, July 26 (UNI) England captain Ben Stokes smashed a masterful 141 to steer his team to a mammoth 669 before India responded with a spirited fightback led by Shubman Gill, who struck a resilient half-century under intense pressure on Day 4 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford. Resuming on 544/7, England added 125 more runs before being bowled out in 157.1 overs. Stokes, resuming on his overnight score, brought up his 14th Test hundred with a stylish leg glance, dedicating the milestone to his late father with a helmet-off tribute. His 198-ball knock featured 11 fours and 3 sixes and showcased a blend of aggression and composure, including towering sixes, precise reverse sweeps, and back-foot drives. Brydon Carse chipped in with a blazing 47 off 54 balls, striking two sixes and three boundaries, before falling to Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja eventually wrapped up the innings, claiming key lower-order wickets and ending with figures reflecting his perseverance across the innings. Jasprit Bumrah bowled with venom, including a delivery that kept low to castle Liam Dawson. India's chase began in disarray, with openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and debutant Sai Sudharsan dismissed for ducks inside the first three overs. India stumbled to 1/2, with KL Rahul and Shubman Gill at the crease during lunch. Post-lunch, Gill launched a stunning counterattack. Despite England's chirping and an intense spell from Jofra Archer, Gill responded with elegance and intent, stitching together a 50-run partnership with Rahul in 15.2 overs. His strokeplay was exquisite: an upper cut over point off Archer, a sumptuous on-drive past mid-off, and several crisp back-foot punches against Woakes and Carse. He had a slice of luck too—on 25.2, Carse drew a thick edge off Gill's loose drive, but Liam Dawson at backward point fluffed a regulation catch. That drop proved costly, as Gill raced to his 8th Test half-century in style in the 29th over, flicking Joe Root for three to bring up the landmark in 77 balls (8x4). He raised his bat to the spectators and soaked in a well-deserved applause after weathering the early storm. England burned two reviews in failed attempts to dismiss Gill—once off Archer and again off Carse. Both times, the ball was either too high or missing the stumps. KL Rahul provided calm support, timing the ball sweetly off the back foot and dispatching overpitched deliveries with grace. He struck boundaries off Archer (5.1) and Woakes (12.1), holding firm on 30 at tea. At the break, India stood at *86/2 in 29 overs, still trailing by 232 runs after scored 358 in first innings. While the top-order collapse was concerning, Gill's composed and fluent knock has given India a glimmer of resistance as they face a daunting task to save the Test match. UNI BDN GNK

Stokes slams 141 as Eng rattle India at lunch
Manchester, July 26 (UNI) England produced a dominant batting display on Day 4 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, declaring their authority with a massive total of 669 in 157.1 overs, thanks to Ben Stokes' heroic 141 and Brydon Carse's entertaining 47. India, in their second innings, suffered a double blow before lunch, reaching a precarious 1/2 in just 3 overs. Resuming at 544/7, England raced past the 550-mark in the 137th over as Stokes began the morning session with aggressive intent. The England skipper registered his 14th Test hundred off 164 balls, playing a captain's knock just a day after claiming a five-wicket haul—an all-round feat not seen from him in nearly three years. His century was brought up with a stylish leg glance, followed by a helmet-off tribute to his late father, drawing emotional applause from spectators. Stokes then unleashed a flurry of strokes: sixes over long-off and long-on, reverse sweeps, and back-foot punches, displaying brute power and finesse in equal measure. He smashed 11 fours and 3 sixes in his 198-ball knock before falling to Ravindra Jadeja, caught by Sai Sudharsan at long-on while attempting another big hit. Brydon Carse added crucial lower-order runs, clobbering two sixes and three fours in his entertaining 47 off 54 balls. His intent was clear—charging down to smash Washington Sundar and Jadeja over the ropes. His innings ended when he miscued a slog-sweep off Jadeja, with Siraj holding a comfortable catch at deep backward square. Jadeja cleaned up the tail with key wickets, finishing with figures that reflected his persistence through the innings. Jasprit Bumrah too chipped in, dismissing Liam Dawson with a sharp delivery that stayed low and knocked back off stump. India's response was nightmarish. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan were both dismissed for ducks, leaving the visitors at 1/2 in just 3 overs. KL Rahul (1*) and Shubman Gill (0*) were at the crease at lunch, with the massive English total looming over them like a mountain. With a deficit of 353 runs and eight wickets in hand, India face a herculean task to save this match. India heads code 358 in their first innings. UNI BDN RN
