Frustrated Farrell says Pollock okay despite late withdrawal

Pollock, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise this year, was named at blindside flanker for his third Lions match but was a late withdrawal from the Sydney Football Stadium clash. "It was just a bit of an awareness on a calf strain that was tight enough this morning so, knowing what we knew, there was no need to risk him," Farrell told reporters after the unconvincing 21-10 victory. The Lions have lost players for the remainder of the tour in their first two matches in Australia, scrumhalf Tomos Williams suffering a hamstring injury and Elliot Daly breaking his arm. Farrell said his team had come through Saturday's match unscathed. "That's a good positive at this stage," he said. He was less impressed with the error-prone performance of his side and suggested the Waratahs might have watered the pitch before the match to make the conditions tougher. Top stories Swipe. Select.

That the ball's slippy, the breakdown's ferocious enough and the line speed is high octane stuff from them as well," he said. "We kept on trying to overplay at times, certainly around halfway, and putting ourselves back under pressure and keeping them in the game. "And that amount of turnover ball is credit to them, obviously, but not good enough from us." Farrell brought his son Owen into the squad as an injury replacement for but said Wednesday's match against the ACT Brumbies would probably be too early for him. The Brumbies beat the Lions on their last tour of Australia 12 years ago. "It looks like there could be a bit of rain so that's good for us, we need to play in that as well," Farrell said. "But we also know that they're top side in the Australian division, and we also know what happened as far as the Lions is concerned in 2013, so we know it's a big day on Wednesday for us all."

Bearman handed 10-place grid drop for home race

Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox SILVERSTONE, England - Formula One stewards handed Haas rookie driver Oliver Bearman a 10-place grid drop for his first home British Grand Prix for failing to comply with red warning flags in Saturday's final practice. Bearman, 20, was also given four penalty points, taking his tally to eight for the 12-month period. Twelve points triggers an automatic race ban. It was the second 10-place drop Bearman has collected in 12 races this season, with the other coming in Monaco. The Briton caused the first of two red flag periods in Saturday's practice at Silverstone when his car shed some bodywork, with the second stoppage due to Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto crashing. Stewards heard from Bearman after the session and reported in a statement he had slowed for the second red flags but accelerated to race pace and entered the pit entry road at 260kph. Bearman then lost control of the car and hit the barriers. "It is beyond doubt that the driver of Car 87 did not proceed slowly back to the pit lane when he accelerated to simulate entering into the pit entry road under race conditions," the stewards said.

Rahul, Pant shine as India extend lead over England to 357

Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox BIRMINGHAM, England - KL Rahul scored a half-century before Rishabh Pant literally threw his bat at everything as India moved on to 177-3 to stretch their commanding lead to 357 runs over England at lunch on day four of the second test at Edgbaston on Saturday. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter walked in at 126-3 and immediately entertained the crowd, smashing sixes and boundaries before providing the day's most memorable moment when he lost his grip on his bat. He sent his willow flying to square leg where it landed safely, much to the amusement of the Edgbaston crowd, but not the England bowlers who had a productive first hour before their momentum was halted. Pant was unbeaten on 41 alongside skipper Shubman Gill (24 not out) at the interval, their quickfire partnership of 51 runs coming off 53 balls. Resuming on their overnight 64-1, the morning session in overcast conditions with the floodlights on began with both Karun Nair and Rahul surviving early scares when thick edges flew through gaps in the slip cordon. But Brydon Carse's persistence paid off when he tempted Nair into a drive and wicketkeeper Jamie Smith's eyes lit up when he took the catch to dismiss the Indian batter for 26. Rahul remained patient and he continued to find gaps on the offside as he brought up his 18th test fifty, but Josh Tongue struck with a ball that seamed off the pitch to go past the Indian batter's defence and hit the stumps.

Pant survived when, on 10, he smashed the ball straight to mid off where Zak Crawley spilled the catch, and he made the bowlers pay with a flurry of fours and another six. England won the first test at Headingley by five wickets. REUTERS
