Nat Sciver-Brunt helps England thrash West Indies to complete clean sweep
England completed a series clean sweep against West Indies after cruising to a nine-wicket winin a rain-reduced third one-day international at Taunton. Nat Sciver-Brunt scored an unbeaten half-century to continue a successful start as captain, smashing back-to-back boundaries to seal the win inside 11 overs. With West Indies' captain Hayley Matthews sidelined with a shoulder injury, England had earlier made short work of West Indies' top-order, reducing them to four for three in the opening four overs after opting to bowl in overcast conditions. West Indies recovered to 43 for three when rain forced the players from the field for what turned into a five-hour delay and saw the match reduced to 21 overs a side. When play resumed, West Indies rewarded the remnants of the Somerset crowd with some fireworks – hammering 39 runs from their final three overs – but Sarah Glenn bagged three wickets on her return to the one-day side, as England restricted their opponents to 106 for 8. England ejigged their batting lineup, enabling the middle-order a chance to join in the series run-fest. Opening alongside the captain, Sophia Dunkley contributed 26 runs before being trapped leg before wicket by Karishma Ramharack, while Alice Capsey struck a quickfire 20 from 11 balls at number three, as England stormed to victory. After opting to field, England's bowlers took advantage of overcast conditions to strike three times before the rain delay. Realeanna Grimmond nicked off against Kate Cross, while Em Arlott – who was tasked with opening the bowling alongside Cross after England rested Lauren Bell – took wickets in successive overs, dipping the ball into the stumps of Zaida James before swinging the ball past the bat of Stafanie Taylor and into her front pad. Short balls from Arlott and Lauren Filer felled the next two West Indian batters: Shemaine Campbelle was struck in the ribs by Arlott before Qiana Joseph swung so hard at a Filer bouncer that she propelled herself to the ground and was lucky not to be out hit wicket.

Aaliyah Alleyne smashed 20 runs off the penultimate over from Filer, twice top-edging over the head of wicketkeeper Amy Jones, while Jahzara Claxton sent the ball sailing over the midwicket boundary, adjacent to a jubilant West Indian dugout. It was, at least, something to cheer about in a tour which has offered little joy for the visitors. England's next assignment will be five T20s and three one-day internationals against India, starting at Nottingham on 28 June. West Indies fly straight to Barbados for a home series against South Africa in just four days' time.

An 'exciting summer' of women's sport lies ahead
Sitting together, laughing and chatting, at The Oval cricket ground in south London, Ellie Kildunne, Niamh Charles and Sarah Glenn could pass for any other 25-year-olds. But they are professional sportswomen who each have huge summers ahead of them in an England Charles is hoping to help the Lionesses defend their Women's Euros title in Switzerland in July, before Kildunne aims to lift the Women's Rugby World Cup in England in September and Glenn targets Cricket World Cup glory in India in the same sport takes centre stage across the BBC this summer and it is an ideal time to bring the trio together, to compare and contrast stories and hear how preparations are going. How big could this year be for your sport? Footballer Niamh Charles: We know that the expectation is going to be there after winning in 2022. It's such an exciting prospect but it's not the exact same as we're a new team. The women's game is growing so much. All the other teams have got so much better as well. It's about who turns up in the lucky we've had lots of good games before to prepare so I think we're not looking to peak right now, but when it comes to the Euros we're going to hopefully have used all those games to be in the best position from that first game and see what Sarah Glenn: We had a really tough winter [England lost 16-0 to Australia in the Women's Ashes]. We've got the India series coming up this summer at home and those games can be quite chaotic good rivals, we get good crowds in and obviously there will be that pressure for us, it's just a great opportunity to show how good we are and to get those wins and, obviously with Lottie [head coach Charlotte Edwards] coming in and Nat Sciver-Brunt as the new captain too, it will be like a breath of fresh air for the a really exciting summer. I trust in the process and let the outcome take care of union player Ellie Kildunne: People expect a lot from us, being a successful we were expected to win the last World Cup and we didn't, so it is a really huge tournament. Everyone shows up for major tournaments so it doesn't matter what the world's saying about how well they expect us to do, we know there's a lot of work to be fact that people are expecting something massive from us is a very cool and special place to be, but we know that there's work to be done still looking to improve, we can still get better and as long as we can keep striving for better and the best, I think we'll be in a very good spot come this World Cup. When did you decide to become a professional athlete? Kildunne: I played quite a lot of sports growing up and I didn't really know what path to go down, because I just loved playing I was playing rugby for Gloucester, I was also sneaking home on the weekends and playing I got asked to play rugby for England and was given a contract. That's when I knew that it could be a profession, and I could be a full-time really getting into that place now where the game is definitely growing. There's more investment going into it and you can see that professionalism, and how that can really accelerate the growth of the sport. Glenn: I played cricket and hockey. Balancing those two was pretty tough and I did think about which path I wanted to take. I played in the Kia Super League in 2017 and it was my first professional tournament. It was really inspiring because we were getting crowds in and there were young kids coming to watch us, and we could chat to them I picked up my first England contract, even though that was amazing, there wasn't too much structure to the domestic game. There was a huge amount of pressure on that England contract because otherwise I'd have to pick up a job alongside more contracts have come into our domestic league. I can represent England and my county, which I'm really proud to do as well. And that for me was the biggest turning point. No matter who I was, I could make cricket my lifestyle. How much do you look to older team-mates who have seen the progression and professionalism of women's sport? Charles: That's always a conversation. And I would say the generation that's coming through now will have it even better than us, and that's what we're striving for in the women's I speak to Lucy Bronze, she talks of working two jobs and doing loads of different things to get to the professional point now.I see her in meetings, advocating for how much the women's game is growing. The revenues have grown, the investments are growing and she's really at the forefront of that because she's had to women's game has grown and I think 20-year-old Lucy wouldn't believe what it would be now. She's been massive in forcing the women's game to keep up with how it's growing, she's pushing it, but also advocating for what we deserve and making sure that we're growing and it's As a team you don't really see an age. I know that there's girls who have been through two World Cups and for some, this will be their first World Cup. So we do a lot of collaboration of what to do a lot of connection points with the vintage Red Roses on how women's rugby started. We remember the heritage of it and one of our sayings and values that we go for is 'do it for the girls'.It's for the younger generation, the girls in our team and the girls that came before us. And I think that makes what we do a little bit more still got that inner passion to do more than what it is. The game is not just winning, it's much bigger than do it for the girls that came before, but also inspire the next generation and take it to a place beyond where it's ever I was in the crowd when England women won the World Cup in 2017 and I literally went as a big super fan, and was cheering the girls on.I thought it was amazing and I had a moment where I thought 'I really want to be a part of this' - because at that point I was training hard, but I didn't know if I could quite make it.I was involved with the England junior academies and then when I started training with the senior girls, I was training with Heather [Knight], and Katherine [Sciver-Brunt], who were a part of that World seen where the game was and where it is now, and how much they've grown the game. They really took me in as a youngster and now I feel like I've started to become one of the senior players, which is really weird to say. It's amazing to see that path grow. All aged 25 and in your prime? Kildunne: It was weird when I got World Player of the Year at 24 [years old]. I kind of didn't want it then because I didn't feel like I was at my best yet, and I still don't.I feel like I'm learning game to game where I can improve and get better. You can always get better. I don't think I'm ever going to be at the peak. I'd hope to never be at the peak of my game because I think you can always The last day before I retire, I should hopefully be at my best. I'd know everything, I'll have been around the block and I think every day I'm learning different margins about myself, like how I can get better in little things. So I like to tell myself as I get older that I'm just hopefully getting better and better. The best is yet to come, I've definitely learned how I go about things. In terms of my actual game, I feel like there's still so much more in me to give.

Trump administration set to resume collections on defaulted federal student loans
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — After a five-year pause, the U.S. Department of Education will resume collections on defaulted federal student loans, starting May 5. The pause on collections began in March of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, those who are more than a year behind on student loan payments could face wage garnishment, tax refund withholding, and other forms of involuntary debt collection. According to the Department of Education, about 43 million borrowers owe more than $1.6 trillion in student loan debt. Nearly 6 million borrowers are currently in default. Sarah Glenn, a student at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), said the policy shift has left her nervous about her financial future. 'It makes me really scared about my ability to have, be able to pay for, like, housing, which is also skyrocketing,' Glenn said. 'Wage garnishment wasn't something that we agreed to whenever we took out these loans initially, and it feels very predatory.' Economists warn that resuming collections and adding wage garnishments could have ripple effects on the broader economy. 'Now have less disposable income because they're going to have to resume their debt repayments. That can lead to, let's see, reductions in terms of consumer spending,' Tom Fullerton, professor of economics at UTEP, said. 'It can also lead to lower credit scores because it may hamper their abilities to service other types of debts they may have, and they may start to miss payments for other financial obligations.' Former President Joe Biden championed student debt forgiveness, cancelling over $188 billion in student debt over four years in office. Under Biden's original proposal back in 2022 would have cancelled up to $10,000 of federal student loan debt for many borrowers and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients. The former president's plan would have only applied to borrowers earning less than $125,000 a year and $250,000 for couples. For those students at risk of default, options such as income-driven repayment, deferment, and forbearance are all viable options to relieve the immediate impact of collections or garnishment.
