It's one of those where your eyes light up because it's one that you could easily hit. As a bowler you want to make the batter have to play at you, Chris Woakes didn't need to hit that. Karun Nair took it easily and Akash Deep picks up another.

Firm stroke from Chris Woakes to get off the mark. He's come in with some intent. If it's there, it's going.

Sam Konstas urged to keep perspective in bid to find Test form and win Ashes spot
Pat Cummins has urged Sam Konstas to keep looking at the bigger picture as the young opener takes time to find his feet after returning to the Australia side in the West Indies. Konstas could not hide his disappointment after chopping a wide delivery from Jayden Seales onto his stumps for a fourth-ball duck in Australia's second innings, before the team extended their 30-year stranglehold on the Frank Worrell Trophy with a 133-run victory over West Indies in the second Test. The 19-year-old had given himself a platform with a measured 25 before driving away from his body and nicking to the keeper on the first day in Grenada. But with only 33 runs from four innings in the West Indies and a Test average that has dropped to 18.25 after clubbing 60 on debut against India, pressure is mounting on Konstas to post a big score and stake his claim to open when the Ashes begins in November. 'For anyone who is starting out their Test career, you're kind of picked for a reason, and you at your best, we know is good enough,' Cummins said. 'It's just about concentrating on what makes you a really good player. 'Someone like a batter, it might be where you score, your areas, what tempo do you normally operate at your best. And just don't get too caught up in every innings feeling like the biggest thing in the world. I think the stat is even the best batters in the world don't hit their average three out of four times, you're going to fail more often than you're going to succeed. 'So just as long as you're a quick learner, as long as you're moving well and giving yourself the best chance, just keep kind of doubling down on that and judge yourself after a series or so, not innings by innings.' While there are lingering concerns around Australia's top order with veteran opener Usman Khawaja also out of sorts, the middle order has remained reliable in the Caribbean. Alex Carey has continued on with his rich vein of form while Beau Webster has quickly settled into the all-rounder role and is making valuable runs batting at No 6. Australia's keeper was named player of the match for critical knocks of 63 and 30 in the second Test, and has now averaged 41.71 since the start of last summer. 'Any opposition that has a No 7, it's normally a keeper, but who walks in and you know they are in good form, can move the game quickly, they are some of the scariest players,' Cummins said. 'We feel really lucky to have 'Kes' in our side that does that. Sign up to The Spin Subscribe to our cricket newsletter for our writers' thoughts on the biggest stories and a review of the week's action after newsletter promotion 'Last week, I thought he was close to the man of the match as well. It's a really tricky period to bat at five, six and seven, the game's normally in the balance, but time and time again, him along with a couple of the others seem to take the game away from the opposition.' Despite another quick turnaround, Cummins expects the bowling attack to back up again for the third Test starting on Saturday local time (Sunday 4.30am AEST), after Australia needed fewer than 110 overs to dismiss West Indies twice at St George's. Left-armer Mitchell Starc is in line to play his 100th Test after being the pick of the bowlers with three for 24 as Australia closed in on victory in the second win over West India. Starc will become just the second Australia pacer behind Glenn McGrath to reach the milestone and is within reach of another landmark with 395 wickets at 27.39. 'It's a huge effort, as a fast bowler as well, he's bowling 145 [km / hour] at the end of that game,' Cummins said. 'I can't fathom playing 100 games and keeping that kind of speed. He's just a warrior, just turns up every week and wants to play, no matter what, just cracks on.'

Jamie Redknapp joins his stunning wife Frida as well as chic Binky Felstead and Alex Jones as they led the celebrities at day six of Wimbledon
was joined by his stunning wife Frida as they attended day six of Wimbledon at The All England Lawn Tennis Club on Saturday. The couple led the celebrity arrivals for the Tennis Championships with Binky Felstead and Alex Jones also in attendance. Saturday's tennis action will see Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner as men's headliners at the All England Club, while Iga Swiatek, Mirra Andreeva and Barbora Krejcikova will play on the women's side. Jamie looks smart in a clean-cut navy blue suit with a white shirt while Frida wore a co-ordinating collared midi dress. Binky showed off her chic sense of style in a yellow two-piece set consisting of a tailored waistcoat and high waisted shorts. The former Made In Chelsea star teamed her outfit with a matching pair of mules and carried a woven clutch bag. Alex wore an elegant polka dot dress that featured a highneck and semi-sheer tiered skirt. Actor Glen Powell opted for a chequered beige suit which he teamed with a white shirt and brown loafers. The presenter topped off her look with a pair of strappy heels and added a brown leather crossbody handbag. Saturday will see Djokovic take on Miomir Kecmanovic in the prime-time slot after Sinner has played Pedro Martinez. For the women, Swiatek will play Danielle Collins, while Krejcikova prepares to take on Emma Navarro. Earlier this year, former footballer and Sky soccer pundit Jamie was banned from driving for twelve months today for clocking-up multiple speeding offences. It was the ex-Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool FC star's second driving ban for speeding, meaning he was disqualified for twice the usual length of time. The former England international, who lives in a six-bedroom £10.5m house in Kensington, did not appear at Bexley Magistrates Court. He pleaded guilty in advance of the hearing and declared his income to the court as £9,230 per week. Redknapp pleaded guilty to exceeding the 20mph limit on June 26, last year on the A219 Putney Hill, near the junction of Westleigh Avenue, Putney, where a camera snapped him doing 26mph. He also admitted exceeding the 50mph limit on November 2, last year on the M4 near Burghfield, Reading, where he was caught driving at 58mph. On both occasions Redknapp was driving a brand new black electric Audi Q8.

Anisimova's career comes full circle after burnout fears
LONDON, July 6 (Reuters) - When Amanda Anisimova reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals as a 20-year-old in the summer of 2022, she was being hailed as the "next big thing" in American tennis along with Coco Gauff. But instead of providing a launch pad for her career, that achievement led to a downward spiral. From mid-August that year to the following May, Anisimova failed to win back-to-back matches in any of the 10 tournaments she entered, winning a paltry four matches in total during that miserable nine-month run. With her time on the tour taking a toll on her mental health, in May 2023 she pulled the plug on her tennis year to try and get away from it all, after realising that she was simply burned out from the never-ending cycle of defeats. When she made her comeback to the Grand Slam stage at the Australian Open last year, her ranking had plummeted to 442 but, now rejuvenated and ready to go again, that statistic did not faze her. She made it to the last 16 before running into eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka, and rather than getting down in the dumps, Anisimova took it as proof that her career was back on an upward trajectory as it was the first time since Wimbledon 2022 that she had won three successive matches. Even when she failed to qualify for Wimbledon last year, while ranked 189th, she knew that mentally she was in a better place than she had been 12 months earlier. Fast forward 12 months and things are looking bright and sunny again for Anisimova - albeit at a soggy Wimbledon. Seeded 13th, she is back in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon following a nerve-shredding 6-2 5-7 6-4 victory over Czech 30th seed Linda Noskova - a result that will allow her to break into the world's top 10 for the first time. "I was just super excited to compete here ... and just being seeded was already really special," said the 23-year-old, who opened her Wimbledon account by handing Yulia Putintseva the dreaded 6-0 6-0 double bagel in the first round. "I felt really good about myself because I think it was just a huge reminder of all the work and progress I've made so far this year. "I knew that every match was going to be a battle, which it has been. I've just been really enjoying the journey here." With French Open champion Gauff having suffered a shock first round exit at Wimbledon, Anisimova and 10th seed Emma Navarro, who plays her last 16 match against Mirra Andreeva on Monday, are the only Americans left with a chance of lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish come Saturday. Anisimova will fancy her chances of reaching the semi-finals at the grasscourt major for the first time considering she holds a 3-0 win-loss record against her next opponent, Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. "Ever since I took my break, I just found this new perspective and this newfound sense of fighting for everything and accepting the challenges that come and embracing them," said Anisimova, born in New Jersey to Russian immigrants. "A lot of things have changed ... I feel like my professionalism and work ethic has taken a whole 360. Everything is centred around my tennis and how I can prepare the best that I can. "It's super special and a surreal feeling to be in the top 10. If I thought to myself last year ... that I'll be breaking the top 10 by now, it would be pretty surprising to me, considering where I was last summer."
