Charles hails conclusion of Lord's Test as he meets Indian cricket team
Lord's, the home of cricket, was the setting for the dramatic result on Monday afternoon – with five days of play decided during the final session as the tourists chased 193 runs to win.

The home side needed the final wicket to win, while the visitors were 23 runs from victory when England spinner Shoaib Bashir, playing with a suspected broken finger, bowled to Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj.
As the batsman defended the delivery, it bounced off his bat and the ball's spin took it backwards into the stumps and he was bowled.
The King told the Indian captain Shubman Gill he had watched the crucial last wicket fall on the news highlights on Monday night.
He said in sympathy, about the dramatic spin on the ball that dismissed Siraj, 'really annoying just to touch the bails'.
The Indian captain said later about his conversation with the King: 'He did tell us that the way our last batsman got out was quite unfortunate – the ball rolling on the stumps, and he was just asking us how did we feel after that.
'And we told him it was an unfortunate match for us, but it could have gone either way and hopefully we'll have better luck in both the next games.'

Morgan Gibbs-White trains with Forest as Tottenham move continues to stall
The England international was set for a medical in north London on Friday after Spurs were understood to have triggered Gibbs-White's £60million release clause. However, Forest have accused the Europa League winners of contacting Gibbs-White directly before going to the club. They were left furious after what they consider a breach of confidentiality on the release clause and direct contact with their player. Forest opened a legal case against Spurs and do not plan to liaise with them again until the matter is resolved. The PA news agency understands Forest have not made an official complaint to the Premier League as things stand, though the governing body may get involved to oversee the matter. Gibbs-White returned to pre-season training on Monday and again trained on Tuesday, despite reports to the contrary on social media. The 25-year-old has two years left on his contract at the City Ground and the club have been keen to go to the negotiating table over a bumper long-term contract, with a significant pay rise. However, the PA news agency understands Gibbs-White has refused to enter talks and now clearly sees his future elsewhere. Gibbs-White joined Forest for £25m in the summer of 2022 following their promotion to the Premier League and was instrumental in delivering European football to Forest for the first time since 1996, with seven goals and eight assists in 34 Premier League games. He was on Manchester City's radar earlier this summer but Pep Guardiola's side moved on to different targets. Tottenham have been approached for comment by the PA news agency.

Liverpool reject £59m Bayern bid for Luis Diaz and insist player not for sale
The PA news agency understands the Bundesliga champions' offer of 67.5million euros (£58.6m) was immediately dismissed, in keeping with the club's stance which saw them rebut an approach from Barcelona earlier in the summer. Diaz is in the last two years of his contract and, while talks have not progressed over a new deal, privately Liverpool insist he remains an important player and interested clubs are being told that. There is also a long-standing interest from the Saudi Pro League in the 28-year-old Colombia international. Al-Hilal's failed 100m euros (£87m) bid for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, who is two years older, is viewed by some as a benchmark valuation for an elite attacker in the domestic and global market, but regardless there remains no appetite to sell. Only a few weeks ago Diaz hinted at uncertainty over his future by claiming his representatives were openly discussing his options. 'We are currently in contact with Liverpool, because we are talking to clubs, and that's normal given the transfer market that's opening,' he said last month. 'We're trying to arrange what's best for us.'

The Open make major broadcast change with never-seen-before live TV feature to delight golf fans at Royal Portrush
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE OPEN have made a never-seen-before major broadcasting change. The 153rd edition of the world's oldest golf tournament heads to Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland this week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A Spidercam will be in operation above the 18th green at Royal Portrush Credit: PA 3 Fans watching The Open on TV will be treated to the new perspective Credit: PA And fans watching the action on TV will be treated to a brand-new feature. That is because, as reported by The Guardian, the R&A have installed a Spidercam above the 18th green. The camera will be attached to four 25m-tall pylons. And the introduction will give new viewing angles and perspectives of the 18th green - where the Claret Jug will be won on Sunday. The report adds the R&A informed the players about the plans last week. And while there were some concerns about possible distractions, it is said no official complaints about the Spidercam were submitted. The Spidercam's footage will be available for broadcast partners including Sky Sports in the UK and NBC in America. It will be supplemented by existing cameras such as aerial drones and bunker cams. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The remote-controlled Spidercam has proven a major success in other sports such as football, rugby and cricket. And the R&A's head of broadcasting and media rights, Paul Sutcliffe, said: 'It's not often The Open is the first to do something, as usually innovations are made by the Tours before being introduced by the Majors, so this is really exciting. Xander Schauffele jokes he was 'trending towards an alcoholic,' but he's happy to be back in Scotland 'Portrush is one of the few venues without a clubhouse on the 18th green so that gave us a unique opportunity. 'With more space around the green we have been able to install technology. "There will be some wires around the green, but the camera will retract to the grandstand before each player's second shot so we're confident there will be no interference. '2019 was one of the iconic Opens with the emotion of Shane Lowry winning at Portrush and Spidercam will enable viewers to walk with the 2025 champion up the 18th. "It's the greatest walk in golf and should be very special.'
