England v India: second men's cricket Test, day five
Update: Date: 2025-07-06T09:22:40.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Maturity comes in many forms, from sober wardrobes to sensible haircuts to the uncomplaining recognition that life is inherently futile and we're all going to die. The same is true for this England cricket team. At Headingley they chased 371 in a calculated manner that would have been impossible three years ago, but the process of maturity never really stops. Twelve days on from that run-chase, England have an even more difficult task: batting out the final day to secure a result they have previously disdained. England will resume on 72 for 3, needing a further 536 runs to win, after losing both openers and Joe Root last night during a sizzling new-ball burst from Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj. An old-school batting line-up would fancy their chances of survival but England haven't tried to bat for a draw in almost four years. You can't just press a button to go into Defensive Mode. A heavy, humbling defeat – or, from the Indian perspective, a huge, richly deserved victory – is the likeliest scenario. But if England grind out a draw, the cricket world will see them through different-eyes. And nobody will be in any doubt that Team Bazball has matured.

Wimbledon ace's net worth way bigger than King Charles and David and Victoria Beckham combined
Wimbledon ace's net worth way bigger than King Charles and David and Victoria Beckham combined David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, are thought to be worth £500million, while King Charles has a fortune of around £640m – but a Wimbledon star is worth far more than both combined King Charles III and David Beckham each have an astonishing net worth (Image: WPA Pool, Getty Images ) Jessica Pegula's net worth is five times greater than that of Sir David Beckham and King Charles III combined, despite the fact she has yet to secure a Grand Slam title. Beckham, a legend of Manchester United and English football, was knighted for his contributions to football and charitable work, as announced in the King's Birthday Honours list last month. The 50-year-old has amassed a considerable fortune from his exploits both on and off the pitch. Together with his wife, Victoria Beckham, the former midfielder has accumulated a net worth of approximately £500million, according to the Sunday Times Rich List. While a large chunk of Beckham's wealth stems from his professional football career, his post-playing ventures such as his DRJB Holdings company have also significantly bolstered his finances. Victoria, on the other hand, first gained fame with the Spice Girls, who remain the best-selling female group of all time, before transitioning into the fashion industry. Their combined wealth is just £140m short of King Charles III's reported private net worth of £640m. Together, the Beckhams and England's monarch have a total net worth of just over £1billion, yet this pales in comparison to the fortune Pegula stands to inherit, reports the Express. This is because the WTA world No. 3 is the daughter of Terry and Kim Pegula, owners of the Buffalo Bills in the NFL, the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL, and the Buffalo Bandits in the NLL. Article continues below Terry and Kim Pegula have an incredible fortune (Image: Bill Wippert, NHLI via Getty Images ) While Jessica has amassed an impressive £13m in career prize money through her own tennis achievements, it's a drop in the ocean in comparison to the staggering £5.1bn inheritance she is set to receive from her parents. Her father, Terry, made his fortune in the oil industry, working for Getty Oil and Felmont Oil Co before establishing East Resources, a company specialising in natural gas drilling. He later sold assets from Pennsylvania, New York and the Rocky Mountain areas to Royal Dutch Shell for a whopping £3.4bn. The 74-year-old then sold the Ohio and West Virginia assets of the company to American Energy Partners for another £1.2bn. Pegula had high hopes of securing her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon this summer, but unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. The 31-year-old didn't make it past the first round at SW19 in the singles competition, suffering a 6-2, 6-3 defeat to Elisabetta Cocciaretto on Tuesday. Jessica Pegula is worth a fortune (Image: Getty ) Since she didn't participate in the doubles or mixed doubles events, her tournament journey has now ended. However, the New York-born star has previously come tantalisingly close to major victory. Article continues below Pegula has reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open three times in the singles competition, and also made it to the same stage once each at the French Open and Wimbledon in 2022 and 2023 respectively. However, her most impressive Grand Slam performance was at last year's US Open, where Pegula reached the final. Regrettably, victory eluded her. In the decisive match, she was thwarted by WTA No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who clinched a 7-5, 7-5 win, denying Pegula her first major title. Her attention will now shift to next month's US Open.

F1 British GP live: Race start time and updates as Brits try to hunt down Max Verstappen at Silverstone
Max Verstappen will try to turn pole position into a race win at the British Grand Prix this afternoon after silencing home fans by seeing off McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in qualifying at Silverstone. Verstappen did not look to be in the hunt for first place heading into Saturday but he pulled a brilliant lap out of the bag to beat Piastri by 0.103 seconds with Norris third, 0.118 seconds adrift. George Russell took fourth for Mercedes, one place ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who had dared to dream of a first pole position for Ferrari, but ended up two tenths off the pace. Charles Leclerc qualified sixth in the other Ferrari. Verstappen was only fourth after the opening runs in Q3 at a gusty and overcast Silverstone, and complained his Red Bull was difficult to drive. However, when it mattered most the four-time world champion came from nowhere to take top spot - his first pole since Miami at the beginning of May. Lewis Hamilton returns to Silverstone in last chance saloon for first Ferrari year If you'd told Lewis Hamilton four months ago, amid the hoopla of Formula One's biggest-ever driver move, that he would be 'hoping and praying' for a strong result at his beloved Silverstone, he'd likely have laughed you out of the room. Either that or he'd have rolled his eyes. Take your pick. After all, this was the seven-time F1 world champion moving to the fabled Ferrari. A driver in need of rejuvenation after three years of frustration at Mercedes was joining a team seemingly on the up, having come within a whisker of last year's constructors' title. Everything seemed perfectly aligned. With the whole world watching, what could possibly go wrong? Well, come race 12 and the halfway stage of the 2025 season, the answer is unavoidable: pretty much everything. Lewis Hamilton returns to Silverstone in last chance saloon for first Ferrari year Hamilton has been on the podium 11 times in a row at Silverstone, but is yet to secure a top-3 finish this year Luke Baker6 July 2025 10:17 F1 standings ahead of British Grand Prix 1.

Strolling with his usual swagger across the pit-lane, Jose Mourinho was on ceremonial duties on Saturday in handing over the Pirelli pole position award at a murky Silverstone circuit. Yet rather appropriately, Mourinho gifted the prize to F1's very own special one, who gave a firm reminder as to what all the current fuss is about. Max Verstappen, in typical 2025 fashion, expertly sprung from nowhere at the end of qualifying to take top spot in front of an, ultimately, disappointed British crowd. Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton had appeared genuine favourites beforehand, given their fine form in practice, but they will line up third and fifth. Oscar Piastri, the championship leader, starts in P2.
