st petersburg against egypt, john bennett was there. that is a real bond between the russian fans and the players. what a difference six days make. back then, all the supporters were bracing themselves for a world cup humiliation. but now they are freely dreaming of magical world cup since 1986. as the regent, the big talking point is still mo salah. his shoulder in history —— injury still didn't look right. egypt fans feel it could've been a different story. he turns them from an ordinary team into a team capable of magic moments but sadly, we be able to see any russia magic. a bit

of other news is only recovered from a broken foot in the last couple of months. he limped out of training on tuesday with an ankle problem. he came infor tuesday with an ankle problem. he came in for some really rough treatment, the brazilian federation is stating he should be ok for their next game. sap blatter is in town. russia was awarded this world cup. remember, on his watch, back in 2010. he's been invited here by the president, vladimir putin. he's been allowed to watch football of course. he is off to the stadium to see portugal against morocco. also in that group, iran against spain in kazan and that group a game between

(gfx) jonny bairstow also reached three figures, for the fourth time in six odi matches, and eoin morgan hit his country's fastest half century, while the tourists had only opener travis head surpass the 50 mark as adil rashid picked up 4/47. it's a very proud day for us and as a group, including the staff, what's more pleasing is the level of on —— intense it —— intensity we operate at. i've been playing cricket since i

was a kid and it's the hardest day of cricket i had in my life. everything we tried didn't work. and everything didn't come up and normally that doesn't happen for an hour or two but to have it happen as long as we did, you got to take your hat off. they struck the ball as well as i have ever seen. sri lanka captain dinesh chandimal has been banned for one test for ball—tampering against west indies. the 28—year—old seemed to apply saliva containing the residue of something he had in his mouth to the ball during the second test in st lucia. chandimal, who pleaded not guilty, has been banned by the international cricket council for the final test in bridgetown, which starts on saturday. england's women get their tri series against south africa and new zealand underway on wednesday. the opening match in somerset will see new zealand take on south africa before mark robinson's side play the proteas on the same day, at the same venue. you want to win, that's the first

thing. you don't heading to anything without the ambition to win. i would got to start to fine tune what our best combination is, batting order, things like that. there is a lot of cricket before we go to the west indies. we haven't actually played much as an international team. some have played in the kf celled but we just had a heavy duty quoted —— quota of 50— over cricket so try to play now before you depart, the better. a first return to the tennis court for andy murray in nearly a year, has ended in defeat. he was beaten by nick kyrgios in three sets at queens club. in what was a really competitive match that lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes, the briton now ranked 156 in the world was superb in the opening set — winning it 6—2. before his aussie opponent won the second on a tiebreak and the third 7—5 — after a double fault from murray on match point. the body did ok. i thought, towards

the end, my serve dropped off quite a bit, which potentially could have been due to a bit of fatigue, and just because i've not played any matches were such a long time. overall, i dealt with things pretty well. also at queens, novak djokovic made a start to is wimbledon preparations. in his first appearance at the london event since 2010, djokovic was rarely tested against the australian qualifier. it took him just over an hour to complete a 6—2, 6—1win and the serb has failed to reach the semi—finals in any of his last five grand slam appearances. it's great to play in front of the

crowd that is very knowledgeable about our sport. england has a long tennis traditions so it's great to be on the court and obviously, i've struggled a little bit in the last year and struggled a little bit in the last yearand a struggled a little bit in the last year and a half with an injury that obviously has forced me to compensate my game, my technique and that has taken a little bit of confidence out of me. i'm trying to get it back and today's match was perfect. and roger federer began his last week of wimbledon preparations with a 6—3, 6—4 defeat of slovenia's aljaz bedene to reach the second round of the atp event in halle. the world number one needs a record extending 10th title at the event in order to remain world number one and assure himself of the top seeding at wimbledon starting in a fortnight‘s time. you can get all the latest sports news at our website
