Nat Sciver-Brunt out of T20I series vs India Women, to return for ODIs
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed that women's team captain Natalie Sciver-Brunt will miss the remaining two matches of the ongoing T20I series against India due to a groin Beaumont will step in as captain for the final two games, while Maia Bouchier has been called up to replace Sciver-Brunt in the squad. The ECB also confirmed that Sciver-Brunt is expected to be fit for the start of the ODI series, which begins on 16 known for her aggressive batting style, could offer England some much-needed firepower in the middle order. However, Sciver-Brunt's absence will be felt. The all-rounder had been in solid form, scoring 66 and 13 in the first two T20Is, and her presence with both bat and ball has been central to England's white-ball strategy. England currently trail 1-2 in the five-match series, having lost the first two games to a confident Indian side. Smriti Mandhana has been instrumental in India's strong start, providing consistent runs at the top of the order. The third T20I saw England bounce back with a much-needed win to keep the series the setback, stand-in captain Beaumont believes the team must remain calm and composed ahead of the crucial fourth match, which will be played in Manchester on Wednesday, 9 July. The final T20I is scheduled for Saturday, 12 July in Birmingham.'The worst thing we could do right now is panic,' Beaumont said, as quoted by ICC.'It's not the situation we wanted — we didn't want to be 2-0 down, and we didn't want our captain and best batter out injured. But we've got to deal with where we are now and respond positively.'We need to bring some calm and logic into the team environment. We absolutely believe we can come back and win this. Full credit to India, they've pushed us hard, but I believe we can respond, and I'll be doing everything I can to get the girls to do just that.'- EndsTrending Reel

Paul Finebaum fires up college football with bold take on Brian Kelly's LSU survival (Image via Getty) There's a lot of talk around LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly ahead of the new college football season. Fans are waiting to see how the team will start in 2025. Kelly has not won a season opener since joining LSU in 2022, and now the team is set to face a tough opponent, the Clemson Tigers. This high-stakes matchup is coming soon, and one top analyst has shared some honest thoughts about what it could mean for Kelly and the LSU program. Paul Finebaum says Brian Kelly can still survive with one more loss On Friday, July 4, 2025, ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum gave his view on LSU's situation during a live episode of Get Up. Speaking with co-hosts Heather Dinich and Harry Douglas, he said Brian Kelly doesn't need to win the opening game to have a good season. — msports_all (@msports_all) 'The losing streak in openers started with Ed Orgeron three years ago,' Finebaum said, referring to LSU's former head coach. 'But I don't think that's the critical game. Because of the opener, they have a little wiggle room with a third loss.' LSU will face Clemson in their first game on Saturday, August 30, 2025. Arlington, Texas's AT&T Stadium will host the game. Many fans still remember how LSU went down 27–20 in the first game last year to the USC Trojans on September 1, 2024. Miller Moss, USC quarterback, threw 378 yards and one touchdown in that game. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo Brian Kelly and Garrett Nussmeier prepare to face Clemson again In the College Football Playoff National Championship match on January 13, 2020, LSU last played Clemson.

T.J. Watt's $40M contract standoff puts pressure on head coach Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh Steelers
T.J. Watt (via Getty Images) T.J. Watt, the Steelers' defensive stalwart, has set off a contract firestorm that can redefine the near-term future of the franchise. With 2024 looming on the horizon, T.J. Watt is negotiating a record-breaking extension that would establish him as the NFL 's highest-paid defensive star, breaking Myles Garrett's recent $40 million threshold. But amid Watt's steady production and elite status, the Steelers have yet to come to terms. T.J. Watt gazes at record contract as Mike Tomlin considers long-term gamble As the Pittsburgh Steelers get ready for training camp, negotiations with T.J. Watt on a contract have reached a heated stalemate. The 30-year-old linebacker, a rare remaining elite pass rusher in the league, apparently feels that this is his last opportunity to land a franchise deal—and he won't budge. NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, making an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, wasn't shy: 'Certainly, there's an acknowledgement for all parties that that's not the worth of TJ Watt. But are you willing to pay him upwards of 40 million dollars per year, coming off a back half of 2024 where he didn't and the defense didn't play the way that we've been accustomed?' Steelers-TJ Watt: "Why move off of one of the best defensive players we've seen?" | THE FACILITY The underlying problem is not just the salary number—it's the framework, guarantees, and where that amount slots into Pittsburgh's long-term cap picture. While Watt continues to be one of the scariest defenders in the game, he's at the second half of his career, and recent slippage in his play toward the end of 2024 has created doubts about durability to come. T.J. Watt's position is adamant—and possibly impeding. As reported by Pelissero, T.J. Watt has informed the Steelers that if he does not get a contract he perceives as equitable, the team may be in for an annoyance that lasts through camp. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo With training camp opening July 23, time is running out to prevent a scenario similar to his 2021 hold-in, when negotiations dragged on into September. Even with external distractions—such as a lacerating social media shot from former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown—the greater worry is in-house: whether the front office will accommodate Watt's requests or jeopardize the locker room leader they've constructed their defense around. Also read: NFL Trade rumors: Steelers preparing $200M contract offer for TJ Watt amid trade buzz Trade rumors also have begun to circulate, with teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions said to be keeping an eye on developments. Although a trade is unlikely, the longer the stalemate persists, the more possible extreme developments are.
