Brilliant Bethell bowls England to victory against Sri Lanka

Hello and welcome to Telegraph Sport’s live, over-by-over coverage of the third and final T20 international between Sri Lanka and England. It’s England’s last match before they begin their World Cup campaign against Nepal on Sunda, and they look in good shape. Harry Brook’s side have won nine of their last ten completed T20 internationals and have settled on a balance that gives them batting depth and seven bowling options.

The side is a mix of the old and the new, from Jos Buttler and Liam Dawson aged 35 to Jacob Bethell at 22. On Sunday Jos Buttler became England’s most-capped cricketer when he made 402nd appearance across formats.

“I’m really proud to have played that many games,” said Buttler. “It’s been an awesome journey. To think of that kid who would have just bit your hand off for one game for England, to have played 400 is awesome.

“It’s a bit surreal. That hunger and desire to play for England is always strong and burns bright. I’m just proud of myself, really, to be able to play for that long, have the resilience to come back from tough times, have the desire to get better and improve and keep turning up and working hard.”

Buttler is playing as well as ever and has formed a devastating opening partnership with Phil Salt. “I’ve always wanted to try and reach my potential. That’s been my biggest driver over the years, is ‘can I get to the level that I think I can?’

“And, in a weird way, you probably never ever get there which is what keeps you turning up to train and work hard and try and get better.”

Buttler has no plans to retire just yet. “From speaking to a few guys, they say you just know when the time’s up and you’ll probably wake up one day and just know. I haven’t had that moment yet, so I’ll just keep going until that comes to me.”

Today’s match begins at 1.30pm. We’ll have the toss and team news shortly.

Brits warned of ‘summer of chaos’ over new EES system if ‘warning sign is ignored’

Published

Manchester Evening News

Will you be changing your holiday plans due to the new EES changes?

UK travellers now face new data checks at European airports as the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is fully implemented across 29 countries in the Schengen area, including Spain, Italy and Greece.

The new system means UK holidaymakers now have to “create a digital record” when they first travel to the Schengen area. This will require travellers to provide additional information upon arrival at the border, replacing the previous system of passport stamping.

However, the introduction of the system has led to significant travel disruptions, including hundreds of people missing flights after being stuck in queues at an airport in Milan at the weekend.

One mum from Oldham found herself unable to get back home for her children and work after being stuck in a queue at the airport for four hours, only to be told her flight back to Manchester had taken off without her.

She has since had to cover the extra expense of staying in Italy for longer as the next available flight back was five days after her original departure date.

Representative body Airports Council International recently reported that EES was causing delays of up to three hours, with airports in Spain, Portugal, France and Italy among the worst affected.

And the chief executive of Advantage Travel Partnership, Julia Lo Bue-Said, has since warned of a “summer of chaos” if changes aren’t made.

In an interview on BBC Radio 4, the travel expert said: “The real issue is the volume of passengers that are trying to go through border control at one time. It’s clearly creating significant bottlenecks. The biggest frustration is these airports know what passengers are arriving, they know how many flights are coming in.

“There needs to be better coordination on arrival and on departure – because the same thing happens when you leave – to ensure we are not facing a summer of complete chaos.”

She added to the Press Association that what happened in Milan is “a warning sign that cannot be ignored”.

She said: “Even isolated incidents at Schengen borders are having serious knock-on effects, with passengers missing flights, facing long waits and navigating processes that are unclear and inconsistent. That is simply not good enough.”

Advertisement

She claimed some airports have the “physical infrastructure to handle demand but are simply not deploying the staff to match it”, which “demands explanation”.

She added: “We have consistently called for a pause in EES registration during peak travel periods and at times of high passenger volumes, to minimise disruption and protect the customer experience.”

Luke Petherbridge, director of public affairs at travel trade organisation Abta, said: “While for many the travel experience remains smooth, we’re disappointed and frustrated to see some passengers being caught up in delays due to EES.

“Abta has been warning destinations and the (European) Commission for some time about the need for proactive steps to be taken to avoid delays, including the full use of contingency measures to stand down biometric checks at busier times, and adequate staffing especially at peak times.”

How emotional.”

It comes after Isabel marked her one year anniversary on social media by sharing pictures from her and Adam’s wedding day.

Adam also took to his own Instagram and posted a heartfelt tribute to their big day. He penned: “Happy 1st Anniversary 3 and a half years together… and this last year has been the best yet We didn’t just get married, we built a whole new life together. And honestly, the best part has been watching you become a mum. It’s made me fall in love with you in a completely different way. The way you look after her, even on little sleep, is unreal.

South Lanarkshire planners reject Lesmahagow flats proposals

Published

on

Daily Record

Planners admitted it would be good to “bring life back into” the former Masons Arms in Abbeygreen, but expressed concern over car parking and other issues.

A bid to convert an empty Lesmahagow hotel into houses and flats has been turned down.

Planners admitted it would be good to “bring life back into” the former Masons Arms in Abbeygreen, but expressed concern over car parking and other issues.

The two-storey town centre hotel and pub closed during the Covid 19 pandemic and hasn’t re-opened.

Glendevon Group lodged conversion plans with South Lanarkshire Council. The idea was to create two three-bedroom terraced houses and two flats.

A report by the authority’s planning department stated: “The principle of conversion to residential use is acceptable.

Advertisement

“The building has been vacant for some time without any apparent interest in reopening it as a pub or hotel.

“Bringing the building back into productive use would generally be beneficial in terms of securing its future and bringing life back into it.”

However, the report said there were “significant concerns about certain details of the proposal”.

The flats would have “little or no natural light” and views would be “oppressive”.

There were also concerns over access arrangements and roads officials had objected because of the lack of car parking spaces.

The report concluded: “The proposal does not comply fully with the relevant policies of the adopted development plan and consent must, therefore, be refused.”

Baby girl from Stoke from dies after being ‘found with heroin and cocaine in system’

Published

on

Wales Online

Phoebe-Rose Douglas died on October 29, 2019

Advertisement

A baby who died after being found with heroin and cocaine in her system arrived at the hospital “unkempt and smelly”, despite several concerns being raised to social services, an inquest has heard.

Ten-week-old Phoebe-Rose Douglas was rushed to the Royal Stoke University Hospital where staff discovered she had dirt beneath her fingernails, armpits and skin creases.

She had been transferred from a house on Meaford Drive, Blurton, on the morning of October 25, 2019, after reports that the infant had gone into cardiac arrest. Despite treatment at the paediatric intensive care unit, she died four days later, on October 29.

The court was told that a urine sample taken on the day of the baby’s death revealed a level of cocaine, and further testing on hair samples confirmed she had been exposed to cocaine, heroin and cannabis, StokeonTrentLive reports.

Advertisement

Parents Rachel Bourne and John Douglas both admitted child cruelty at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court in 2024. Bourne was jailed for 31 months and Douglas was given a 10-month custodial sentence, suspended for two years.

An inquest into Phoebe-Rose’s death is now being held this week at Swann House, Stoke.

Phoebe-Rose was born in Halifax in August 2019, where her father lived, and returned to Stoke-on-Trent with her mother a month later, the inquest heard.

Both parents were drug users, with several referrals having previously been made to social services before Phoebe-Rose’s birth, prompted by concerns amongst family members. One such concern was raised in July 2019, relating to their living conditions.

Advertisement

The couple were subsequently evicted from the property, where drug paraphernalia was later discovered. Paediatrician Dr Deborah Stalker told the inquest that hospital discharge notes from Phoebe-Rose’s birth showed no signs of neonatal abstinence syndrome – withdrawal symptoms that newborn babies may experience if they have been exposed to opiates while still in the womb.

“But she was a bit of a struggle to feed, reading between the lines of notes”, Dr Stalker said. “There was also evidence that feeding bottles were not sterilised prior to use – that had been observed in hospital.”

Dr Stalker told the inquest how, when Phoebe-Rose was admitted to hospital in October 2019, “she was unkempt and she was unclean”, adding “She was smelly and she had dirty fingernails and feet and creases under arms and neck.”

Advertisement

Dr Roger Malcolmson, a consultant paediatric and perinatal pathologist, was involved in post-mortem examinations conducted following Phoebe-Rose’s death. He described her to the inquest as “relatively small”.

“There was no evidence of external injuries of any significance that would suggest a pattern of physical abuse”, he said.

“Her brain was swollen, which correlates with injury to brain cells and hypoxia (reduced oxygen to the brain). There was no obvious underlying cause. I think the biggest risk factor for this death we can identify from the history is maternal drug use and smoking.”

Liverpool learn extent of Hugo Ekitike injury with timeline revealed | Football

Liverpool learn extent of Hugo Ekitike injury with timeline revealed | Football
Ekitike is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines (Picture: Getty)

Hugo Ekitike is expected to be sidelined for at least nine months with a serious Achilles tendon injury suffered in Liverpool’s Champions League exit against Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool’s last hope of silverware this season ended on Tuesday night after defeat to the French champions at Anfield who sealed a 4-0 aggregate victory to progress to the semi-finals of the competition.

But there was greater concern for their leading scorer Ekitike who was stretchered off in the first-half on Merseyside.

Eiktike fell to the ground unchallenged after 34 minutes, clutching the back of his ankle in visible pain.

Despite two attempts, the striker was unable to get back to his feet and received treatment from Liverpool’s medical staff before he was carried off the pitch in tears.

Arne Slot provided a grim update after the match, admitting the injury was ‘not good’ with Ibrahima Konare also fearing the worst for his teammate.

Liverpool are still to officially confirm the extent of the injury but L’Equipe report the former Eintracht Frankfurt star has ruptured his Achilles tendon which will sideline him for approximately nine months.

The report adds that timeline represents a ‘best case scenario’ for the 23-year-old who will also miss France’s World Cup campaign this summer.

When asked about Ekitike’s injury after his side’s loss,  Slot said: ‘Not too good, I think we could all see that.

‘Let’s wait and see what it will be. In the second half he went home so I haven’t seen him.’

Konate added: ‘I’m very sad for him. To be fair, I think it’s bad,’

‘I don’t want to talk about that, with a World Cup coming it’s very, very hard for him at the moment. I send him my prayers.’

Is Vincent Kompany providing a glimpse into football after Pep Guardiola?

Published

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Burnley FC at Etihad Stadium on January 31, 2024

There have been concerns among fans this season that the game’s top teams, faced with stubborn man-to-man defensive set-ups, are taking a less risky approach in attack.

But Kompany’s Bayern lean into that risk, playing freely both in and out of possession. They often dominate, and are exciting to watch – an approach that involves all 11 players and starts right from the back.

In the Champions League last 16, Bayern faced an Atalanta side who opted to man-mark across the pitch. So Kompany rotated his players around, dragging opposition defenders out of position.

For instance, attacking midfielder Serge Gnabry frequently dropped into centre-back positions to get on the ball. His Atalanta marker followed him. That opened up space for Gnabry’s team-mates. As a result, Atalanta ended up with attackers in defence and defenders in attack. Bayern Munich won 10-2 on aggregate.

Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti was particularly impressed, noting Bayern’s fluidity. In his words: “They showed us a whole encyclopedia of movement and positioning in football.”

Barcelona star raises furious referee theory as Marcus Rashford suffers double heartbreak

Published

Manchester Evening News

Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday 3-2 on aggregate, with Marcus Rashford feeling the sting of European football away from Manchester United

Raphinha has claimed that Barcelona were “robbed” as his club were knocked out of the Champions League – a match that Marcus Rashford was widely expected to start in but was given just 20 minutes. The Catalan giants faced Atletico Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Tuesday evening in a second leg quarter-final clash.

Hansi Flick’s side understood the monumental task at hand. given they headed into the 8pm kick-off with a 2-0 deficit to overcome thanks to Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth raining on their parade last week at the Camp Nou.

However, Barca were ultimately unable to conquer their La Liga rivals on the road, leaving the Spanish capital 2-1 up on the night – but 3-2 down on aggregate. Lamine Yamal took very little time to offer his team a glimmer of hope by netting withing four minutes, before Ferran Torres diminished Atleti’s 2-0 aggregate lead completely 20 minutes later.

It took Ademola Lookman a matter of moments to ensure that Atletico ultimately advanced to the semi-finals of Europe’s premier footballing competition, however, with a goalless second half seeing Barcelona sent packing.

However, Raphinha had some strong words for referee Clément Turpin in the aftermath. He told TNT Sports Brasil: “For me, we were robbed.

“I don’t want to talk about the refereeing, but we played extremely well, they committed I don’t know how many fouls, and the referee didn’t even pull out a single yellow card against them. The refereeing was very bad in all the decisions he made.

“What I really want to understand is, by what criteria is Barca being refereed? I’d really like to understand the secret behind this fear that haunts these people at the thought of Barca winning.

“Yes, we’re all human and we can make a mistake in a match, that’s something I can understand, but for it to happen in two consecutive matches? That’s not normal. I think the result of this double confrontation isn’t fair.”

Elsewhere, Manchester United loanee Rashford suffered a double heartbreak in the fixture. Not only were Barcelona ousted from the Champions League in what has otherwise been a largely successful spell for the 28-year-old, but he also didn’t have the full 90 minutes to make a difference.

That’s despite Spanish media touting Rashford to start the match. The Englishman was afforded just over 20 minutes to make a difference as he entered the field as a late substitute for Fermin Lopez.

However, he was ultimately unable to make much of an impact as Barcelona crashed out of the Champions League. It comes as Rashford’s future in sunny Spain is currently up in the air.

While Barcelona have an option to make his move permanent come season’s end to the tune of around £26million, it looks as though they are set to use limited funds to recruit Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan to strengthen their defence.

But with Robert Lewandowski potentially leaving the club this summer, the board could opt to keep Rashford as a replacement for their talisman – given he can also operate through the middle as well as on his favoured left flank.

Asian shares mostly rise after Wall Street rallies on lower oil prices

Asian shares mostly rise after Wall Street rallies on lower oil prices

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares mostly rose in Wednesday trading, echoing the rally on Wall Street that came as oil prices eased on hopes the United States and Iran may try again on talks to end their war.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 gained 0.4% in afternoon trading to 58,122.52. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 was little changed, inching up less than 0.1% to 8,978.70. South Korea’s Kospi jumped 2.1% to 6,092.77. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng edged up 0.4% to 25,980.69, while the Shanghai Composite declined less than 0.1% to 4,023.40.

On Wall Street, the S&P 500 added 1.2% to its leap from the day before, and the index at the heart of many 401(k) accounts is just 0.2% below its record set in January.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 317 points, or 0.7%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 2%.

On Wednesday, benchmark U.S. crude fell 58 cents to $90.70 a barrel. Brent crude added 7 cents to $94.86, or less than 1% after falling 4.6% the day before. While that’s still above its roughly $70 price from before the war began in late February, it’s well below the peak level of $119.

Lower oil prices help bring down costs for all kinds of businesses. But some analysts noted the war was still ongoing, warning that the optimism may be unfortunately unfounded.

“The counterintuitive decline in crude appears driven by growing hopes that a second round of peace talks between Washington and Tehran could soon materialize, after the first attempt fizzled out. Traders are clearly choosing to price in the possibility of de-escalation rather than the immediate reality of restricted flows,” said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.

Asian nations depends on access to the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that’s the main avenue for crude oil produced in the Persian Gulf area to reach customers worldwide. Blockages there have kept oil off the global market, which has in turn driven up its price.

Global inflation this year looks set to accelerate to 4.4% from 4.1% in 2025, according to the International Monetary Fund, which had earlier thought inflation would slow to 3.8%. The IMF on Tuesday also downgraded its forecast for global economic growth to 3.1% this year from the 3.3% it had forecast in January.

All told, the S&P 500 rose 81.14 points to 6,967.38. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 317.74 to 48,535.99, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 455.35 to 23,639.08.

In the bond market, Treasury yields eased as the fall for oil prices took some of the pressure off inflation. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.25% from 4.30% late Monday.

In currency trading, the U.S. dollar edged up to 158.95 Japanese yen from 158.79 yen. The euro cost $1.1790, down from $1.1797.

Which airlines have cancelled flights to the Middle East? The latest as Iran ceasefire at risk

Global air travel faces severe disruption, with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East continuing to impede access to key hubs like Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi.

British Airways is making permanent changes to its network, announcing the cancellation of all flights from London Heathrow to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 24 April. Having suspended most Middle East services shortly after the conflict began, British Airways will resume flights to Dubai, Doha, and Tel Aviv in the second half of the year, though at a much-reduced scale.

While airspace in the region is starting to reopen, with Bahrain’s Gulf Air set to resume London flights, BA’s decision marks a strategic pivot away from the Middle East.

Adding to the strain, jet fuel prices have soared since the conflict’s onset, intensifying pressure on carriers already rerouting to bypass the volatile region.
