Injured captain Ben Stokes ruled out of fifth test against India as England make 4 changes
LONDON (AP) — England captain Ben Stokes has been ruled out of the fifth and final test against India with a right shoulder injury. Ollie Pope, who bats at No. 3, will replace Stokes as captain for the test at the Oval in London, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Wednesday. Play begins Thursday, with India trailing 2-1 in the series and needing a win to draw. The 34-year-old Stokes was back to his inspirational best as an allrounder in last week's drawn fourth test, taking five wickets with some brilliant hostile and accurate spells, and finding his batting form again with an authoritative knock of 141 for his long-awaited 14th test century. He became England's fourth player to get five wickets and a century in a test. Stokes is the leading wicket taker across both teams with 17 — three more than Indian pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, with a lower average than both. But bowling long spells clearly took its toll on Stokes, who has struggled with injuries in recent years. He was hit by a bout of cramp on day 3. The intensity of the series so far has led to fatigue and injuries on both sides. India's batting star Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the fifth test with a foot fracture. He made 54 in the fourth test, despite playing with the injury. England will also be without pacers Jofra Archer — who only recently returned to test cricket after more than four years out — and Brydon Carse. Spinner Liam Dawson is also left out in one of four changes. Jacob Bethell replaces Stokes at No. 6 in the batting line up, while Gus Atkinson returns to bolster England's attack, along with Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue. The fourth test ended with tensions between the teams, with Stokes saying his opposite number Shubman Gill should have accepted his offer of a draw with the match heading toward an inevitable stalemate. But Gill chose to wait until Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar — whose watchful and stubborn long partnership helped save the test — had completed their centuries. On Tuesday, India head coach Gautam Gambhir clashed with ground staff at the Oval. Video footage showed Gambhir in a confrontation with Lee Fortis, the lead curator at the ground. ___ AP cricket:

NBA to host games in London and Manchester
The NBA is to return to the United Kingdom for the first time since 2019, with a match in London in 2026 and Manchester in 2027. London's O2 Arena has been selected to host a regular-season game between the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, 18 January 2026. It will be the first NBA game in the UK since the Washington Wizards' win over the New York Knicks in January 2019, with London previously having hosted yearly matches between 2011 and 2019. Manchester will host a regular-season game for the first time in 2027 at the Co-Op Arena, with the teams involved to be revealed before the start of that season. The city previously held a pre-season match between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Philadelphia 76ers in October 2013 at the city's other major indoor entertainment venue, which is now called the AO Arena. The Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, said: "London is now the undisputed sporting capital of the world and the NBA coming to The O2 in January 2026 will further cement our global status." Councillor Bev Craig, leader of Manchester City Council, added: "Manchester once again has shown what a magnificent draw it is for major events, and we are thrilled to welcome the NBA back to our city." The NBA will hold two games in Europe in each of 2026, 2027 and 2028. Berlin will host the other game in 2026 with Paris doing so in 2027, while in 2028 they will both host a match. The teams involved in the 2027 and 2028 matches will be named before the start of those seasons. The 2025-26 season gets under way on Tuesday, 21 October. NBA's matches in Europe in 2026, 2027 and 2028 2026 Thursday, 15 January: Orlando Magic v Memphis Grizzlies - Uber Arena, Berlin Sunday, 18 January: Memphis Grizzlies v Orlando Magic - O2 Arena, London 2027 One match at Accor Arena, Paris One match at Co-op Live, Manchester 2028 One match at Uber Arena, Berlin One match at Accor Arena, Paris NBA announcement comes with four Britons in league Mayor of London Khan met with NBA deputy commissioner and chief operating officer Mark Tatum in September 2024 to discuss the return of matches to London and has remained in regular contact. BBC Sport understands Khan also recently met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver to discuss the league's return to London and the growth of basketball in the city. The news comes in a summer that has also seen Nottingham-born Amari Williams, 23, picked up in the second round of the NBA Draft by 2023-24 champions the Boston Celtics. When Williams makes his official debut for the Celtics later this year, it will make him the fourth active Briton in the NBA. OG Anunoby of the New York Knicks is Britain's star name in the league, while Tosan Evbuomwan plays for the Brooklyn Nets. Jeremy Sochan (San Antonio Spurs) completes the list of British NBA players, although internationally he represents Poland. Belfast-born CJ Fulton also featured for the Minnesota Timberwolves during the summer league, putting him in a position to potentially be signed by an NBA side later this year. In March 2025, NBA commissioner Silver announced that in collabaration with FIBA, the NBA is exploring the creation of a professional men's league across Europe. At present, a proposed semi-open league of up to 16 teams that would include permanent clubs in European cities such as London, Manchester, Berlin and Paris is being discussed. In terms of participation, basketball is currently the second most-popular team sport in the United Kingdom with one-and-a-half million participants on a weekly participants. It is thought that there are around eight million UK-based basketball fans and it is currently the most popular sports league in the UK among Gen Z audiences.
