TOP STORY

Gareth Southgate feels the Premier League started too early this season on the back of the World Cup in Russia – with England’s run to the semi-finals catching out those in charge.

Questions have been asked as to whether a number of players who went deep into the tournament are now struggling with tiredness having not been afforded a proper rest.

The English top-flight returned on August 10, a week before La Liga and with Serie A starting eight days later and the Bundesliga a full fortnight on.

FOOTBALL

Real Madrid and Spain captain Sergio Ramos believes Harry Kane has all the necessary skills to be a star in La Liga.

In other news, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola believes football is witnessing an era of “two phenomena” with the class of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

CRICKET

It was an all-action day in the second Test between India and the West Indies at Hyderabad yesterday as the hosts completed a 10-wicket victory inside three days.

Resuming from their overnight first-innings score of 308-4, India were quickly bowled out for 367. Armed with a 56-run lead, India’s bowlers shone on a dry pitch to bundle out the visitors for just 127 runs in their second innings before completing a comprehensive win.

With Virat Kohli‘s men having completed a 2-0 sweep to clinch the two-match series, read our talking points from an eventful day three in which 16 wickets fell.
