England facing daunting chase as more dropped catches aid India's cause
England were facing another big chase to win their series deciding fifth Test against India, with a fine century from Yashasvi Jaiswal and some poor catching making life hard for the hosts. Jaiswal made a classy 118 as the tourists reached 304 for six on the third afternoon, a lead of 281 at tea. After 15 wickets fell on day two, a patched up England attack were unable to pose a consistent threat. With Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse all missing the Test and Chris Woakes unable to play his part due to a dislocated shoulder, the task seemed too steep for a seam trio of Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue and Jamie Overton boasting just 18 previous caps. Three more drops hurt their cause – Zak Crawley, Harry Brook and Ben Duckett taking the innings tally to six missed chances – but Jaiswal was the cornerstone of India's defiance. He was gamely assisted by nightwatcher Akash Deep in the first session, with the latter crashing his way to a career-best 66 to set the tone for a difficult day in the field. Deep, sent in on Friday evening to shield captain Shubman Gill, scored the majority share in a demoralising stand of 107 with the unflappable Jaiswal. The tourists were just 52 ahead and two down overnight but England were insipid in the opening session. Deep fully embraced what was a bonus innings for his side, slogging the third ball of the morning for four, heaving Atkinson across the line and angling Josh Tongue wide of the slips with soft hands. He should have come unstuck for 21 in the eighth over, narrowly surviving Tongue's lbw shout on umpire's call and then edging the next delivery to third slip. Just as it did on day two, England's catching was faulty with Crawley fumbling. That was as close as they came to parting the duo as they lost control in a dispiriting hour of play that saw India add 52 runs to the total. England produced a few false shots after drinks but to no avail, with at least three edges skimming into the same gap wide of third slip. Deep advanced to an unlikely fifty with three fours off the tiring Atkinson – showing off unexpected range with a square cut, an uppercut and a pull. Overton finally ended his fun with the lunch break moving into view, digging in a short ball that took the leading edge and popped to backward point. It was a handy delivery but, after 28 wicketless overs on a helpful pitch, the Surrey quick owed his side one. Gill survived an awkward spell before the break but fell to the first ball after lunch, lbw to Atkinson for 11 to conclude a prolific series with 754 runs at an average of 75.40. Karun Nair has fared considerably less well and his latest unconvincing stay ended with wafting Atkinson through to Jamie Smith for 17. At the other end Jaiswal was quietly getting on with job of a potentially match-defining hundred. He was put down on 20 and 40 earlier in his innings but there was a sense of calm as he progressed towards the first ton of a bowler-dominated match. He was given a third life on 110, Duckett fluffing a tricky one at leg slip, but finally ran out of luck when he flashed Tongue to Overton at deep third. England needed more quick successes to build on his departure but their overworked pace bowlers were creaking as Ravindra Jadeja (26no) and Dhruv Jurel (25no) extended the advantage.

Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson avoided a serious knee injury at Friday's practice and shouldn't miss much time, according to reporting from Bill Huber of Wilson, the team's backup running back behind Josh Jacobs last season, went down awkwardly while attempting to catch a pass during a team period on Friday. Despite initial concerns of a major injury, it appears Wilson avoided a worst-case scenario and will eventually return during training camp. Huber described the injury as a "tweak" and reported there is "no damage" inside the knee. The Packers are already without running back MarShawn Lloyd, who injured his groin during the team's first padded practice of the week and is expected to miss time into next week. Wilson rushed 103 times for 502 yards and four touchdowns and caught 11 passes for 48 yards and another touchdown across 17 games last season. The Packers also have veteran Chris Brooks, rookies Jalen White and Amir Johnson and recent addition Israel Abanikanda at running back behind Jacobs entering the team's Family Night practice at Lambeau Field on Saturday. The Packers open the preseason next Saturday at Lambeau Field against the New York Jets. This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury

People Are Sharing The Industries That Attract 'Terrible' People, And I'm Curious If Your Job Is On This List
If you've ever wondered if other people perceive your job negatively, this post is for you. In one Reddit thread (which you can see here), people discussed the career fields they think have the most "terrible" people, and there were some very interesting takes. I've rounded up 18 different answers – let's see if your industry made this list: Related: 1."I think, while not all people in Human Resources are terrible, the field does attract the kind of people who are looking to lord it over others. Busybodies, gossips, insecure people who let a little bit of power go to their heads." –SamuraiGoblin 2."HOA Management. Almost cost me my sanity. Thank goodness I left that field." –freyjakittylord 3."Spammers and scammers." –Express_Gas2416 4."Cops. Even most of my buddies who were good guys before becoming cops became douchebags." –NoVictory9590 5."Nurses are either the sweetest people on earth or the devil." –jeronimoe Related: 6."Fitness, especially those who think they are 'influencers.' Bunch of narcissists and fake personas." –Superb-Attitude9606 7."Anti-union consultants." –Ok-explanation4740 8."I used to work in meteorology, and while I met some good people in the field, I met A LOT of condescending assholes. That's a big reason why I no longer work in that field. It was taking a huge toll on my mental health." –Thatothergayguy94 9."For a year, I worked in loan sales (predatory max-interest loans targeting people who can't get loans anywhere else), and about 75% of my job was collecting. Skip tracing, digging through their social media, calling family members, etc. They wanted me to take over my own branch, and the money would have been great. I just could not do it." –crazyfighter99 Related: 10."Paparazzi." –Gizm00 11."My mom was a home nurse who was also sometimes sent to do elderly care at aged care facilities. She would frequently get upset at both some of the staff and some of the management because of how badly some elders were treated." –ToThePastMe 12."Corrections officers. A lot of them are narcissistic predators, especially in my experience as a former CO who worked in 2 different maximum-security state prisons." –ForgottenShadowed 13."Marketing. I've been working in the industry for more than a decade, have had roles all around the world, and the overwhelming majority of people I've worked with have been immature, insecure, conceited, irascible, narcissistic, antagonistic, and, above all, pathologically self-absorbed. An absolute nightmare to be around." –SignifcantBroccoli 14."That girl from high school who slides in your DMs on Instagram with the 'hey girly!' trying to sell you her fit tea." –M0osesG0ose Related: 15."Surgeons. I say this as someone who wants to be one. You need the perfect mix of insanity and egomania even to think you'll make it there, and the prestige of the career only further attracts those people." "The money only adds to it, as does the reaction when you tell others what you do. I'd say the douchebaggery of a surgeon is 40% learned from the pressure and abuse of academia/training, 20% internal ego, 10% how others treat them, and maybe 30% totally justified." –RegionEducational366 16."Real estate. Narcissism runs rampant." –Wandering_Zian 17."Lawyer here. We're a bunch of pretentious assholes who really like to argue about minutia and get paid to do it. Here's a dirty secret: half of the time, we don't actually agree with our client. But since they pay us to argue for them, argue we will!" –attorniquetnyc finally, "Entertainment industry. Far too many stories of rich people with too much power subjecting young and weak individuals at the bottom of the barrel to sexual harassment and promising success based on lies and promises that they don't intend to keep." –No_Pen8240 What else belongs on this list?
