Rain delays India's bid to finish off England in second test at Edgbaston
The covers were rolled out ahead of the scheduled start at 11 a.m. local time (1000 GMT) and overs are likely to be lost, which would hurt India more than England.

Lucie Moioli takes lots of positives from France U20 Summer Series loss
By Phil Campbell Lucie Moioli insists Italy will take a lot of positives from their 46-5 defeat to France into their second match of the 2025 Six Nations Women's Summer Series against England. Italy defended stoically for much of the game but ultimately couldn't stop France running in eight tries - with Elina Folituu helping herself to a hat-trick in the process – to claim the spoils at the Centre for Sporting Excellence in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly. Advertisement In the few trips to the French 22 that Italy had, they were able to register a try of their own through prop Alice Antonazzo in the second half and Moioli hopes her side can build on the performance they put in after the break. 'I can tell you the second half was a lot better than the first half,' she said. 'Our captain [Elena Errichiello] said that to us. She said that we knew it was going to be a hard game. We were quite happy with what we did, but we know now what to work on and how to prepare for the next game against England.' France imposed themselves from the off and despite the best efforts of Italy's defence, they benefitted time and again from their physicality, as well as their skill, with Folituu's treble – all scored off the back of rolling mauls – highlighting that fact. Advertisement Moioli explained her side expected France to take the game to them and was proud of their rearguard effort throughout the 80 minutes. 'We were mentally prepared, we knew there would be a lot of defence going on,' she continued. 'There was good defence from our centres and our forwards were really going hard. I'm really proud of what we did. 'It was a big mindset game in the second half, and we were really tired because France is a big opponent. 'We tried to keep our defence up the best that we could, whilst also staying fierce and trying to push through.' And despite the one-sided nature of the result, Moioli was pleased with the togetherness her team demonstrated and the fact they kept fighting until the end. Advertisement Shed added: 'We were very united, even after the French scored, we were always all together and trying to keep each other focussed and we pushed through together as a team.' 'I think we can play very well against England, and we can take all the positive things that we did against France and make more of them in the next game. I hope for better next time.'

Manchester City striker completes Championship loan transfer
Hugo Viana and Manchester City have finalised a season-long loan agreement for highly-rated striker talent Divin Mubama ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. The 20-year-old joined Manchester City's academy ranks from West Ham in the summer of 2024 and has made quite the impression across the club's youth sides since he swapped east London for Manchester. Advertisement Mubama scored on his full senior Manchester City debut in a 8-0 rout of Salford City in the FA Cup in January. However, a potential spot in Guardiola's ranks seems unlikely for the Englishman despite his first-team heroics in the presence of Erling Haaland. Julian Alvarez joined Atletico Madrid for £82 million last summer, with Manchester City only adding Omar Marmoush to their attacking ranks in January as they look to kickstart a new era under Guardiola after a sub-standard 2024-25 campaign. Haaland was burdened with an overwhelming share of the goalscoring burden last season and despite the 24-year-old Norwegian's impressive tally of 38 goals in all competitions, City could always do with another centre-forward. Goals have dried up in the attacking areas for the Blues, who have seen the likes of Savinho, Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish struggle for goals. Phil Foden was not at his usual best for much of last season, with a bleak contribution to the scoresheet from midfield as well. Advertisement Marmoush has provided some hope of the burden alleviating from Haaland, who played a heavy chunk of minutes last season and fell prey to an ankle injury in Manchester City's 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final win over Bournemouth in March. City have added Rayan Cherki to their attack this summer and there is an internal hope at the club that Foden will be back to his best next season as Guardiola and co prepare for life beyond Kevin De Bruyne, who was not given a contract renewal as he approached the end of his final deal at the Etihad Stadium and has since joined Napoli on a free transfer. As confirmed by all parties on Saturday, Manchester City have agreed to send striker talent Divin Mubama on loan to Championship side Stoke City for the duration of the upcoming 2025/26 campaign. Mubama has been linked with a season-long loan away from the City Football Academy (CFA) in recent months and a year at the bet365 Stadium will give the young forward an ideal platform to progress his career with regular first-team minutes. Advertisement City have routinely allowed promising academy stars to go out on loan and seek senior opportunities in the EFL Championship and the Premier League to step outside the comfort of the City Football Academy in recent years. Liam Delap represents the best example of a young Manchester City academy graduate who tested himself across clubs in England on loan and is now reaping the rewards – having earned a £30 million transfer to Chelsea in June following a breakthrough 2024-25 campaign at Ipswich Town.

Oscar Piastri says he'll fuel his F1 title charge with 'frustration' at race-deciding penalty
SILVERSTONE, England — Oscar Piastri aims to use the 'frustration' he feels at the penalty which cost him victory at the British Grand Prix as motivation to win more races as he chases the Formula 1 title. Piastri was reluctant to join in the celebrations for McLaren's fourth one-two finish of 2025 after a 10-second penalty imposed for sharp braking behind the safety car meant he finished behind teammate and title rival Lando Norris in Sunday's race. He leads Norris by eight points at the halfway point of the season.
