Departing Spurs captain Son in tears on emotional evening
Spurs drew 1-1 with Newcastle in a pre-season friendly in Seoul but that was secondary to the farewell for the 33-year-old attacker. In what could have been his final game for the north Londoners, Son played 65 minutes but did not score at Seoul World Cup Stadium, a day after announcing his decision to leave Tottenham this summer after a decade. He left the pitch to a thunderous ovation from nearly 65,000 fans, hugging his teammates and even his opponents. The South Korean captain was caught offside twice in the early going, as his teammates tried to create opportunities for him, but didn't really assert himself on the match otherwise. Son was replaced in the 65th minute by Mohammed Kudus and he walked off in tears as thousands of fans chanted his name. "I didn't think I was going to cry at first," Son said. "But after hearing a few words from my teammates, leaving the club I've spent so much time with felt really tough. "I felt really, really happy playing this match. Thanks to my fans, my teammates and also my opponents, I've had an unforgettable day.' Son, who has been linked with LAFC in Major League Soccer, declined to reveal his next destination, saying: "Nothing has been finalised." Tottenham coach Thomas Frank said he enjoyed the "unbelievable, beautiful scenes" Son had with players from both sides on his way off the pitch. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said his players' reaction to the end of Son's night had not been planned ahead. "I think it was very instinctive from the players,' Howe said. "I think that speaks volumes for him as a person and him as a footballer that both teams recognise the way he's played the game." Brennan Johnson's right-footed strike opened the scoring for Tottenham in the fourth minute, and the Welsh forward paid homage to Son by mimicking the South Korean star's camera celebration. Harvey Barnes levelled in the 38th minute, beating Antonin Kinsky with a right-footed shot that went in off the post.

Jaiswal and Deep keep India in the hunt against England
India, in a match they must win to level the series at 2-2, were 189-3 in their second innings -- an overall lead of 166 runs -- at lunch on Saturday. Left-handed opener Jaiswal was 85 not out after a third-wicket stand of 107 with Deep, who belied his status as a nightwatchman with an accomplished 66. India captain Shubman Gill, who started his innings needing just 32 more runs to break Sunil Gavaskar's record for the most runs by an India batsman in a Test series of 744, was unbeaten on 11. England were a bowler down after Chris Woakes suffered a shoulder injury when diving in the field on Thursday. India resumed on 75-2 after holding England to a first-innings total of 247, with pacemen Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj taking four wickets each after the tourists rested Jasprit Bumrah, the world's top-ranked Test bowler. Woakes' absence, which came after England captain Ben Stokes was ruled out of the match with a shoulder injury, increased the pressure to perform on the three remaining fast bowlers -- Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue and Jamie Overton. Deep had made 21 when he survived a Tongue lbw appeal on umpire's call. Next ball he edged Tongue only for Zak Crawley, diving across to his left from third slip, to floor the two-handed catch -- England's fourth drop of the innings and one of their most costly. Atkinson, one of four changes to the England side that drew the fourth Test at Old Trafford, had been the pick of the hosts' attack in India's first-innings 224 with 5-33 on his Surrey home ground. But when he dropped short with his first ball Saturday, Deep pulled him for a commanding four. Deep went to his fifty when he pulled Atkinson for a ninth four in just 70 balls faced. The 28-year-old Deep, appearing in his 10th Test, punched the air in celebration before being embraced by Jaiswal. But just when it seemed India would bat through the session without losing a wicket, Deep got a leading edge off Overton to backward point. It was the recalled Overton's first wicket of the match following a return of 0-66 in 16 overs during India's first innings. In keeping with the simmering tensions that have added spice to the series, several England players engaged in verbal sparring with Gill and Jaiswal after the Indian pair wasted time just before lunch.
