England eventually won the third Test by 22 runs to take a 2–1 lead in the five-match series, but not before Jadeja gave them a massive scare. Chasing 193 for victory, India had slumped to 112 for 8 at lunch on Day 5. Jadeja, batting with the tail, dug deep and formed partnerships with Jasprit Bumrah and
Mohammed Siraj
, slowly dragging India closer.
Poll
What did you think of Jadeja's performance in the Lord's Test?
Outstanding - He almost won it for India!
Good effort, but ultimately not enough.
Disappointing - He should have played fast.
With every run, Jadeja's calm and patience frustrated the English bowlers. His 61 not out off 181 balls was a display of composure and sheer willpower. The match reached its climax when Siraj was bowled by Shoaib Bashir after the ball dribbled back onto his stumps. The crowd at Lord's rose to their feet, relieved but respectful of India's fightback.
For all the talk on the field, Jadeja let his bat do the talking.

Shaquille O'Neal's Son Shareef O'Neal Reveals His Favorite NBA Idol and It Is Not His HOFer Father

Shaquille O'Neal and his son Shariff O'Neal (Image via Getty) At the 2025 ESPYs, Shareef O'Neal—son of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal —made headlines with a refreshingly honest revelation: his favorite NBA player isn't his father. In a lighthearted and candid interview, Shareef revealed that LeBron James holds the top spot in his basketball heart, followed by Kobe Bryant , with Shaq himself coming in third. Though some fans may have been surprised by the ranking, Shareef O'Neal's explanation came with good humor and no family drama. According to Shareef, his father has never had an issue with it. In fact, Shaquille O'Neal supported his son's admiration for these all-time greats by personally introducing him to both Kobe Bryant and LeBron James over the years. Considering the impact both LeBron James and Kobe Bryant have had on the sport—and on Shareef O'Neal's growth as a player—the ranking makes sense. Shareef grew up during the peak of LeBron's career and saw firsthand the brilliance of Kobe Bryant. Shaquille O'Neal, meanwhile, famously played alongside both players: winning three consecutive championships with Kobe on the Lakers (2000–2002) and teaming up with LeBron during the 2009–2010 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Despite the weight of his father's legacy, Shareef O'Neal is determined to chart his own path, shaped by those who inspired him most on the court. His comments at the ESPYs offer a unique window into the mindset of a second-generation athlete—one who honors his roots but also embraces his own heroes. By ranking LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal in that order, Shareef shows that appreciation in basketball can transcend bloodlines, focusing instead on personal growth, respect, and greatness.

It centres on a young pitcher from the Dominican Republic who most people had never heard of until now. The news concerned something much more serious than a fantastic play or victory. Just today, the Major League Baseball (MLB) office disseminated the information, which has already set the baseball community abuzz. Erick Veras of the Dominican Summer League Rockies suspended for 56 games The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball said on Friday, July 19, 2025, that Erick Veras, a Dominican Summer League Rockies minor league pitcher, has been suspended for 56 games without pay. Veras tested positive for Boldenone, a banned substance under the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, this happened. The announcement was made in the United States, but Veras plays outside of Canada and the United States. Although he plays in the Dominican Republic, Veras is today linked with the Colorado Rockies organization. Many of the young and rising athletes dreaming of playing in the major leagues one day compete in the league he plays in. But with this suspension Veras's road has hit a major snag. MLB authorities said the suspension is effective instantly; thus, Veras will miss most of the games in this year. The MLB's drug program is extremely rigorous, and any player who violates the guidelines runs severe penalties. Since boldenone accelerates muscle growth, it is prohibited. Veras has yet made any public comment, and the Colorado Rockies have not posted a statement regarding the suspension either. MLB's drug policy sends a strong message to young players like Erick Veras The MLB has been very clear over the years about banned substances. In a statement shared by the league, officials said they will continue to test players and act when rules are broken. 'The program is here to protect the game and the players,' one league spokesperson said.
