Australia v Bangladesh: Visitors move closer to historic win after Steve Smith wicket
First Test, Darwin (day three of five)
Australia 198: (Smith 71; Mahmud 6-55) and 161-4 (Green 43*; Mahmud 2-33)
Bangladesh 426: (Tanzid 101, Shanto 84, Miraz 65; Hazlewood 6-89)
Australia trail by 67 runs with 6 wickets remaining
Spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz took the crucial wicket of Steve Smith as Bangladesh moved closer to a historic first Test victory in Australia on day three in Darwin.
Smith, so often Australia’s talisman, chipped a leading edge straight back to the off-spinner to depart for 44 and leave his side 122-4 in their second innings.
Australia safely batted out the rest of the session but they face a tough task to save the match after closing on 161-4, still 67 runs behind Bangladesh’s first innings total.
Their hopes of saving the first Test rest in the hands of Cameron Green, who remained unbeaten on 43 and Alex Carey, on 19.
Earlier Bangladesh added 75 to their overnight score of 351-6, with Miraz scoring 65 and Josh Hazlewood claiming 6-89 to claim his 300th Test wicket.
Miraz guided the tail superbly for his 65 from 154 balls as the Bangladesh lower order frustrated Australia’s tiring bowling attack.
“The way we showed character and played the last two, three days I think is outstanding. So, really happy to see them play like this,” Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said.
After being dismissed for 426 shortly after lunch, Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud stunned the hosts when he claimed both openers cheaply.
The 26-year-old, who took a career-best 6-55 in the first innings, bowled Jake Weatherald for 0 and Travis Head for 17 as both players chopped on to their stumps.
Marnus Labuschagne and Smith steadied the ship, before the former was bowled by Taijul Islam for 31.
Smith batted sensibly for his 44 off 88 balls but his wicket left Bangladesh confident of victory as they roared in triumph on the Marrara Oval pitch.
All-rounder Green’s place in the side had been questioned prior to the series, but he defended well alongside wicketkeeper Carey as the pair reached the end of the day to give the hosts a slither of hope going into day four.
Australia have never lost a home Test to Bangladesh, only losing once to the Tigers in six previous Tests – at Mirpur in 2017.
This is the first match in a two-Test series.

Teenage British cyclist Finlay Tarling died Friday following a tragic incident in the Volta a Portugal race, NSN Cycling Team announced to social media.
Tarling, 19, was run over by a car that entered the road, according to local reports. The driver reportedly missed the signs from stewards and entered the road going in the opposite direction of the race.

Chelsea Green’s Future as WWE Women’s Champion Decided; She Sends a Message
Chelsea Green had the best moment of her career earlier this month. Leaving four other women behind on the ladder, she rose to the top, grabbing the WWE Women’s Championship. However, a week later, she injured her eye socket, and this week came very close to relinquishing the title. In fact, for a moment, she had it given back only for the tide to turn.
Green has now broken the silence after the iconic opening segment on recent SmackDown, where she was called out as still the Women’s Champion. Although that is one condition too, as she’s been given 30 days to recover and likely some leeway not to defend the title, after that it’s up to the authority to decide. Chelsea, in celebration of this, posted two pictures of herself from that very segment on Instagram, along with a caption stating there is no hindrance now.
Thanks for the submission!
“There’s no stopping us now♥️” wrote Green.
Chelsea Green still wore the PERMANENT over INTERIM crossed-out top. Her bruised right eye socket was quite visible, emphasizing the seriousness of her injury. It is fortunate that it was limited to near the eye and not on the eye itself. Still, she managed to convince Nick Aldis, the real person behind the authoritative General Manager role, not to strip her of the championship, to which he agreed. It will be exciting to see how Green will be booked, whether amidst this injury or after she recovers.
Chelsea Green was confronted by Gunther, and later Matt Cardona came to the rescue
Frustrated by his constant exclusion, Gunther came out on SmackDown to confront Nick Aldis and also took a shot at Chelsea Green. After Aldis added Kevin Owens to the No. 1 Contender’s Match at SummerSlam Night 2, which Owens won, The Ring General took out his anger on Green and her husband, Matt Cardona, whom he disrespected.
What started as a heated verbal back-and-forth turned physical when Gunther mocked Cardona. Enraged by this, Matt charged at the former World Heavyweight Champion, making it an impromptu match. Despite Cardona beginning with a low blow, Gunther quickly dominated the contest and locked in a brutal Boston Crab, forcing Cardona to tap out.
Even after the bell rang, Gunther refused to release his hold, driving Green to tearfully beg for mercy. Gunther finally let go, walking away laughing as Cardona lay beaten and Green wept in the ring.

UFC 330: Why aggression, grappling will be Makhachev’s path to another victory
UFC 330 takes place Saturday, with Philadelphia hosting its first UFC numbered event since UFC 133.
It may have been worth the wait as this card features two title fights with the sport’s top pound-for-pound fighter headlining against a worthy challenger.
Main Event: Islam Makhachev versus Ian Machado Garry (welterweight championship)
Makhachev’s path: Be aggressive and prioritize grappling. Makhachev’s striking has improved by miles since his UFC debut and he could potentially win a striking battle, but why roll the dice? The more time that Garry has to make reads and adjustments, the more the fight swings to his advantage.
Garry’s best weapon is his fight IQ and the more looks get thrown at him, the harder it will be for him to recognize patterns and capitalize.
Garry’s path: If Makhachev performs as outlined above, Garry’s best path is to frustrate Makhachev by keeping the fight upright and turning it into more of a point-fighting affair. If he can earn a bunch of small wins throughout the fight, he could end up with the big win at the end of the night.
Win more exchanges, don’t get stuck on the ground and weaponize his ability to make reads and adjust. Easier said than done against the best fighter in the sport, but if beating Makhachev was easy, he wouldn’t be on a UFC record-tying 16-fight win streak.
Prediction: Makhachev by unanimous decision.

Get the skills to pay the bills
Skilled Trades College is where hands-on training meets real-world opportunity, helping students build in-demand skills and take the next step toward lasting careers in the trades.
Co-Main Event: Mackenzie Dern versus Gillian Robertson (women’s strawweight championship)
Dern’s path: Skill-for-skill, Dern has many advantages in this fight that can make her a difficult puzzle for Robertson to solve. Dern’s aggression can be both an asset and a liability. If she pushes forward with punches to try to either set up her grappling or simply land the bigger strikes to win rounds, she could end up getting taken down. However, getting taken down has never been much of a concern for Dern given her world-class grappling pedigree.
Similar to my assessment of the main event, I think that being the busier fighter and switching up her looks throughout the fight will give her a wide advantage. Letting Robertson get settled into the fight will leave openings that will open up her best winning conditions. Dern should aim to be first and establish the terms of the fight early.
Robertson’s path: Creativity is the name of the game for Robertson. She needs to find spots where her ingenuity puts her in advantageous positions. If this bout is a pure striking battle she can potentially out-point Dern. If she takes it to the ground, while that would likely be playing with fire, her ability to find openings and control her opponents are what earned her this title fight in the first place.
She’s going to have to be a step ahead of Dern throughout the fight if she wants to find a way to win. To do so, taking risks will be pivotal.
Prediction: Dern by submission in Round 3.
Jalin Turner versus Kaue Fernandes
Turner’s path: Weaponize the strengths of Fernandes against him. Fernandes is known for his devastating and debilitating leg kicks, meaning Turner will likely need to eat a few of them along the way. If Turner can land straight punches and attack up the middle from mid-range, however, his power and long-range weapons will punish Fernandes when he attempts his leg kicks.
If Turner can withstand the early onslaught of kicks and start landing to the body, he can slowly wear Fernandes down and capitalize on an opening late in the fight.
Fernandes’s path: Fernandes has been a master at hitting and not getting hit, outlanding his opponents at a near three-to-one ratio on average. If he can do that without getting caught, he can beat just about anyone.
Turner is very opportunistic, but he also tends to get frustrated if the fight is not going his way. If Fernandes can gather momentum and hold onto it, he should be able to walk away with the win.
Prediction: Fernandes by decision.
Mansur Abdul-Malik versus Dustin Stoltzfus
Abdul-Malik’s path: Abdul-Malik has shown flashes of brilliance as well as lapses in judgment over the course of his UFC tenure. This should be an easy matchup for him if he can use his best weapons of his power and his ability to keep the fight on the feet with his wrestling pedigree.
Stoltzfus has had issues with power punchers in the past and if Abdul-Malik can connect and not make mistakes along the way, this should be a win for him.
Stoltzfus’s path: Abdul-Malik is still refining his game and someone with the veteran savvy of Stoltzfus can capitalize on his mistakes. The key is to find a way to get Abdul-Malik to overcommit and find that opening. If he can bait Abdul-Malik into striking exchanges and turn that into a grappling sequence, Stoltzfus is always crafty enough to find a submission.
He needs to avoid getting caught early and prolong the fight for as long as possible.
Prediction: Abdul-Malik by KO/TKO in Round 1.
Edson Barboza versus Esteban Ribovics
Barboza’s path: Range is the name of the game for Barboza here. He has always performed at his best when he can dictate the terms of the fight and in this case it’ll be using his long-range weapons to make Ribovics pay for trying to get aggressive.
Barboza’s biggest pitfalls have come against capable grapplers, of which Ribovics is not. The odds for this fight may be long, but we have seen Barboza punish aggressive strikers throughout his long and mostly successful UFC career. Now that he has gotten older, his mind will be able to craft a winning game plan, but the x-factor is whether his body will be able to execute it.
Ribovics’s path: Ribovics has the killer instinct. He will walk down his opponents with no regard for what they have to throw back – even against someone as dangerous as Barboza. If Ribovics can back Barboza up he should be able to roll downhill and overwhelm the Brazilian veteran. Once he avoids the long-range weapons of Barboza, this is his fight to win.
Prediction: Ribovics by KO/TKO in Round 2.

Teddy Atlas says Usyk has the chance to do something Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis couldn’t
Hall of Fame trainer and analyst Teddy Atlas has urged Oleksandr Usyk to end his career in a contrasting fashion to those of Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis.
The Ukrainian has already cemented himself as one of the all-time greats, while perhaps not being placed on the same pedestal as Ali and Louis.
This is partly because Ali, for instance, competed at world level for the best part of 15 years, defeating the likes of George Foreman and Joe Frazier in legacy-defining encounters.
Similarly, Louis demonstrated his longevity by setting a heavyweight record (25) for the most successful title defences, while reigning as a dominant champion for almost 12 years.
But while both these legends crafted astonishing Hall of Fame careers, they ultimately paid the price for remaining in the sport several years after reaching their peaks.
Usyk, on the other hand, has the opportunity to leave boxing on his terms after becoming a two-division undisputed champion.
Speaking with CanadaCasino, Atlas highlighted this as the most desirable option for a man with signature wins over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
“All I want is for Usyk to do something not every great fighter has been able to pull off: walk off into the sunset at your best.
“Walk off whole, healthy, and with the memory that we deserve to have about you. The great Joe Louis couldn’t do it. The great Muhammad Ali couldn’t do it. I’d like to see Usyk do that. It’s not for Teddy Atlas to choose that time; it’s for Usyk to choose that time. But I think he’s starting to choose it.”
Coming off an 11th-round stoppage of Rico Verhoeven in May, Usyk relinquished his heavyweight titles and revealed that he has just one fight left.
Many suspect that this will arrive against former WBC champion Deontay Wilder, who comes off a split decision victory over fellow veteran Derek Chisora.

Filip Hrgovic admits there is one thing he fears about facing Moses Itauma
Filip Hrgovic has revealed one area of weakness that could make him vulnerable to a stoppage defeat when he faces Moses Itauma.
The two heavyweights will square off for the vacant IBF title on August 29, headlining a Queensberry Promotions pay-per-view show at London’s O2 Arena.
Initially, they had agreed to a non-title fight, only for both combatants to be given an additional incentive after Oleksandr Usyk vacated his three major belts in June.
The winner must then face mandatory challenger Frank Sanchez, who agreed to a step-aside fee following his manager’s negotiations with Queensberry promoter Frank Warren.
In terms of the task at hand, though, it must be said that Itauma is approaching his toughest assignment thus far, with Hrgovic having previously fought for the IBF title in 2024.
Back then, the Croatian had arguably built a slight lead against Daniel Dubois, only for the ringside doctor to prompt an eighth-round stoppage after inspecting the damage around his eyes.
It is worth noting, too, that these cuts were reopened – albeit to varying degrees of severity – in Hrgovic’s subsequent victories over Joe Joyce, David Adeleye and Dave Allen.
Speaking with DAZN, the 34-year-old admitted that this is of genuine concern as he gears up to face the sharp-shooting Itauma.
“That’s the only thing I’m afraid of. I can’t do anything about that. In my last three or four fights, that cut was opening, so it’s obviously a sensitive part of skin.
“I know when [Itauma] hits me, I’m going to continue coming. But, for the cut – if it’s open – I cannot close it with the power of my will. The [ringside] doctor is going to decide [whether the fight continues].
“Besides that, I’m not afraid of his power or his speed or anything like that.”
If Itauma proves successful against Hrgovic, perhaps via a stoppage on cuts, then he will become the youngest heavyweight champion since Mike Tyson defeated Trevor Berbick in 1986.

Zharnel Hughes beaten to 200m gold by athlete under anti-doping investigation
Zharnel Hughes was all smiles after sprinting to European 200m silver because perhaps there’s a chance a gold might one day be in the post.
Hughes was beaten to the 200m title by German sprinter Owen Ansah, who is racing at the Alexander Stadium despite facing a possible four-year ban.
Last month, shortly before competing at the Diamond League in Monaco, Ansah allegedly failed to submit to a doping test at home. Germany’s anti-doping agency has alleged an anti-doping rule violation and is seeking a four-year suspension, which he contests.

Sports law is all about process, though sometimes that process can produce deeply unsatisfactory situations. The capacity crowd at the Alexander Stadium may well have to wait weeks, months or even years to know whether the result they witnessed will ultimately stand.
“I hope everyone will know my name now,” said Ansah. “This race was just more for me. At a championship you never know what can happen.”
Hughes came in ranked first in Europe and was seeking to complete a first-ever sweep of the men’s and women’s 100m and 200m European titles for Great Britain.
After winning 100m bronze, Ansah said he was “not afraid” of potentially losing the medal later. However, German officials have decided not to select him for Saturday’s men’s 4x100m relay amid concerns that any subsequent sanction could affect his team-mates.
Ansah, the first German sprinter ever to run under 20 seconds for 200m and under 10 seconds for 100m, remains free to compete while the German agency carries out what it called a “results management process”.
The case concerns a rule barring athletes from evading, refusing or failing to submit to doping tests. Ansah denies the allegation, claiming testers turned up at his home as he was leaving for the airport. He said he could not provide a urine sample as he had recently used the bathroom and said he was not informed of the consequences of not providing one. In a separate case, former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova was recently given a four-year ban for refusing a test.
Hughes, the European champion over the distance four years ago, was beaten square. Whether the result ultimately stands is another matter and he gave a diplomatic “no comment” to enquiries about whether Ansah should have been on the start line.
“A medal is a medal and I’m on the podium, that’s all that matters to me,” he said. “I’ve had an up-and-down season where my body just hasn’t been feeling right, to be very honest with you.
“I’m a little healthier now. Credit to my team, who have helped me massively and done their very best to give me the best chance possible to be here.
“It’s just been feeling a little nervy. There are times when I’ve felt like, ‘OK, my body’s feeling well,’ and then shortly after that my body might feel off again and not be firing the way it’s supposed to.”
At 31, Hughes admits his best days may not be ahead of him. It’s three years since – in the space of less than a fortnight – he became the first European to break 9.85 for 100m and 19.85 for 200m.
And while silver here was an improvement on his showing at the recent Commonwealth Games, where he came home a distant sixth in his semi-final, he still thinks there is more to give.
“You can’t live in the past,” he added. “Unfortunately, this year, it’s just sport. You have to work through it and move on.

“In this sport you can’t dwell on anything. You have 24 hours to feel your emotions and go through everything you have to go through, then it’s history.
“I really gave it my best and I want to make these last few years count. I’m 31 now and people say I’m getting old, but I don’t feel old. I still feel like I’ve got plenty of youth left in me.”
Ansah’s future is also unclear, though he insists he “will not accept” any sanction levelled against him.
“Our client has at no point refused to undergo a doping test,” said his lawyer, Rainer Tarek Cherkeh, who also represented Hamburg defender Mario Vuskovic during his unsuccessful challenge to a doping ban following a positive test for EPO.
“He has at no point refused to provide a sample. And he has at no point said, or given the impression, that he did not wish to undergo a doping test.”
