'It wasn't supposed to be like this'
Southampton's exciting talent Tyler Dibling is one of those David Moyes expects Everton to land this week. Dibling clearly has Premier League experience and his arrival would be a positive, yet, at 19, he is also one for the was impossible not to see Moyes in animated conversation with Tomas Soucek, someone he knows so well from his time at West Ham, at Chicago's Soldier Field last Wednesday, and think that is exactly the kind of player Everton need; solid, experienced, is not a target but Moyes will be on the lookout for a player with similar attributes to the Czech Republic skipper, who he signed permanently for West Ham in 2020 for £ believes Jarrad Branthwaite might be fit enough to join the main group for training this week after the 23-year-old missed the US trip with a minor Branthwaite and James Tarkowski back in defence will make Everton more solid. But Moyes knows it is not enough, which is why all the talk of Jack Grealish heading to the club might be would undoubtedly be an exciting addition, albeit with significant caveats around his form - he has not been the same player since Manchester City's 2023 Treble season and Moyes is not one to easily dismiss Pep Guardiola's assessment of the 29-year-old - and cost, even of a if it is to happen, it will be much later in the window.

England are huge favourites to record the highest successful run chase at The Oval today - while India are 10/3 outsiders with Sky Bet
England are on the cusp of creating history today - with Brendon McCullum's side just 35 runs shy of achieving the highest successful run chase (374) at The Oval in Test cricket. England are 339/6 in the fourth innings - with centuries to Joe Root and Harry Brook helping the hosts get into a winning position. Given Root and Brook's performance with the bat - England are huge favourites at 2/9 to be victorious and claim a 3-1 series win. Conversely, India are 10/3 outsiders to cause the upset and a draw is the widest in the market at 20/1. In addition to the head-to-head odds - there are four Price Boosts on offer for this clash. The first two boosts - which are priced at 11/1 and 2/1 respectively - require England to win the match and Chris Woakes to hit the winning runs, and England to win the match, hit the most sixes and the most fours. Meanwhile, the other two boosts need England to win the match and Jamie Smith to hit the winning runs at 9/4, and India to win the match and Mohammed Siraj to take the final wicket at 6/1. Smith is currently at the crease on 2 not out, while Siraj has registered figures of 2/95 from 26 overs in the fourth innings.

England vs India: Thirty five runs or four wickets to decide Oval Test thriller
04 August 2025 9:32am 9:32AM Stuart Broad hits out at 'lazy' decision to call stumps early Former England bowler Stuart Broad led the criticism of the officials after a thrilling fifth Test was left in suspense overnight because of bad light and rain despite being on the brink of a finish. England will return on day five needing just 35 runs while India need four wickets, but many fans leaving the Oval felt that play was called off too soon. After players were called off the field for a period of bad light, a downpour left the field sodden and stumps were called just after 6pm, even though play could have resumed as late as 6.42pm and continued for at least an hour. 9:27AM Day four highlights 𝗨 𝗡 𝗙 𝗜 𝗟 𝗧 𝗘 𝗥 𝗘 𝗗 Another day of stunning play. It all comes down to the final day. — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 4, 2025 9:22AM It all comes down to this One final morning to cap off an epic series. 24 days of enthralling Test cricket that have gone one way and then another are in the bag and we have just one day (probably just morning!) remaining in the men's English Test summer. England require 35 more runs to win the fifth and final Test at The Oval, thus claiming the series 3-1 and at the same time securing their second-highest run chase ever. However India need four wickets to draw the series. A fifth day looked unlikely but bad light and rain prevented a finish on day four, which drew some criticism from some of the media and fans. England looked to be cruising to victory, chasing down a mammoth 374, with Harry Brook and Joe Root in fine form. Brook blasted a magnificent hundred and Root secured his 39 th Test century to put England in a commanding position. However a fightback from India in the evening session gave the tourists hope of salvaging a drawn series. The weather though prevented a finish on day four, meaning we are set for a grandstand finish this morning. Speaking to BBC Test Match Special after the fourth day's play, Root backed his team to get over the line. 'It is quite a fitting end for how the rest of the series has gone. It has ebbed and flowed all of the way through and this Test is exactly same. We are in for a cracker, we are in a good position. We have another heavy roller available. Things might happen quicker with new ball, it might be easier to score. A lot of things are in our favour. We have so much ability left in the dressing room and clearly they have had a good passage of play but Monday [today] could be a real good opportunity to get across the line. I was really frustrated because I missed out, it was really disappointing to not still be there tonight [last night] and get us over the line. But we are still in a really good position, a lot of batting left and the two guys out there are very capable of seeing us home. It has been one hell of a series, one hell of a journey and we have the confidence in our dressing room. Despite suffering a suspected dislocated shoulder, Chris Woakes may well drag his battered body down the pavilion steps to bat should he be needed, which England will hope is not the case. 'You probably saw him in his whites in the dressing room. He is all in, like the rest of us,' said Root. 'Clearly, he is in a huge amount of pain. But it means a huge amount to him and it just shows the character and the person that he is, that he is willing to put his body on the line like that for England. If it does come to that, hopefully he can get us across the line and win an incredible series.' Jamie Smith will resume this morning on two not out whilst Jamie Overton is yet to get off the mark. Strap yourselves in for an exhilarating hour or so's play this morning. Will England win to wrap up the series or can India salvage a draw? Play from The Oval gets under way at 11am.
