England beat Poland at EuroHockey Championships
England's men claimed a comfortable 5-0 win over Poland as they get their Pool B campaign under way at the EuroHockey Championships in Monchengladbach. David Goodfield put England ahead in the first half but the 2023 finalists were made to wait to extend their lead by a resolute Polish side that came through the qualifiers in Dublin last summer. Jacob Payton swept in the second in the third quarter and Phil Roper, Sam Ward's deflected penalty corner shot and a Tom Sorsby effort in the last minute, rounding off the scoring. "We really stuck at our gameplan. I was really proud of the boys to keep digging in knowing we were doing the right thing and we perservered and scored a few more goals," said midfielder Sorsby. "I think I had more shots in that game than in my entire international career so far and I want to convert a few more." England will now face hosts Germany in their next fixture on Sunday, 14:00 BST, before taking on France on 12 August, 11:30 BST.

England beat India to go top of Pro League
Sam Ward scored twice as England went top of the Pro League table with a feisty 3-2 win over India in Bhubaneswar. England took the lead through Jacob Payton's strike from a tight angle in the first quarter but were soon pegged back in the second after Abhishek Nain finished from close range. Moments later Ward tapped England back in front on the break and then put the visitors 3-1 ahead with a powerful strike on the spin just before half-time. After the restart India wrestled back the momentum and, in a half littered with on-field reviews, halved the deficit through Sukhjeet Singh. But England held on in the final 20 minutes, thanks in large part to goalkeeper James Mazarelo. The result meant England went top of the Pro League, above Belgium on goal difference. England men's best performance since the Pro League's inception in 2019 was a second-placed finish in 2024-24. India and England face each other again in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday (14:00 GMT).
