Jude Bellingham reveals date has been set for summer surgery as Real Madrid star admits he is 'fed up' with injury
Jude Bellingham says he is looking forward to having shoulder surgery after the Club World Cup, admitting that he is 'fed up' of playing with a brace and that a date has been set for the procedure. Last month, Real Madrid confirmed they had scheduled surgery for the 21-year-old when the tournament in the United States is over. Bellingham has struggled with a persistent shoulder problem since 2023 and worn strapping on his shoulder when playing for his club and England. 'I'm fed up with the brace,' said Bellingham, after scoring in Madrid's 3-1 win against Pachuca in Charlotte and earning the Player of the Match award in the process. 'Hopefully we get to the final and I've got surgery a few days after the tournament to get it fixed. I'm really happy about that. It's been a long time coming. 'I've got to the point where the pain isn't so bad. It's more just getting fed up with it, with players tugging on it and it getting re-arranged every time. Bellingham scored one goal against Pachuca and was later chosen as the Player of the Match Speaking after the game, Bellingham revealed he is looking forward to having shoulder surgery 'I think I've come to the end of my patience with it. I'm sick of playing in a brace, especially in this heat and it'll be nice to have my old body back. 'I'm at that point where I'm ready to have a free shoulder and a free body.' Madrid — who drew 1-1 with Al-Hilal in their opening group game at the Club World Cup — will qualify for the last 16 if they beat Red Bull Salzburg on Thursday night. That game is likely to witness the return of Kylian Mbappe following a brief bout of gastroenteritis.

Aiden Markram's hundred is the best by a South African batter in Tests: Kevin Pietersen
Kevin Pietersen made the big claim that Aiden Markram's hundred in the World Test Championship final against Australia was the best innings by a South African batter in the longest format of the game. Markram scored a composed 136 off 207 balls that guided the Proteas to a 5-wicket win and helped them end their wait for an ICC title. advertisementMarkram hit 14 boundaries and formed an important partnership with captain Temba Bavuma to help South Africa get to the win. He was adjudged as the Player Of The Match for his knock. Pietersen, while talking to the broadcasters after the game, admitted that it may not have been the most attacking or entertaining knock, but when you factor in expectation, the stage and the pressure, it was an extraordinary knock. "Probably the best innings any South African batter has ever played in Test match cricket. It might not go down as the most attacking or entertaining if you look back at South Africa's Test history.' 'But when you factor in the expectation, the stage, and the pressure after failing in the first innings, it was extraordinary. Whether you're a batter or a bowler, when your country is counting on you and you have to deliver — that pressure is immense," said Pietersen. advertisementPietersen also noted that Markram was under immense pressure after losing Ryan Rickleton early. 'He lost (Ryan) Rickelton early, yet still went on to produce something truly magnificent. It's hard to even describe the kind of pressure he was under,' said Markram. What Markram said about his knockMarkram came into his match-winning knock after being dismissed for a duck in the first innings, and he said that luck did go his way in the end. The South African opener was happy to see the fans at Lord's and said it was a special day. "Weird how things work out, you get a duck. Ultimately, you get luck and it worked out. It will, yes. Lord's is a place where every Test cricketer wants to play. Plenty of South African fans were there and it was one of those special days. It's not always one-sided, you absorb the pressure and it was about maximising the scoring options," said Markram. Must Watch

ENG vs WI 1st T20I: Buttler, Dawson star as England start new era with win
Jos Buttler and Liam Dawson were the stars of the show as England start their new era in T20Is under Harry Brook with a win against the West Indies on Friday, June 6. Buttler got his highest score on home soil with a calculated and destructive innings of 96 from 59 balls, while the returning Dawson was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up figures of 4 for 20 in his four overs as England won the match by 21 runs. advertisementButtler, who was returning to the T20I squad after relinquishing captaincy, did most of the heavy-lifting for England and scored more than half of their runs as the hosts posted 188 runs in the first innings. Jamie Smith and Jacob Bethell were the only other English batters who got into double figures on the day. England had made a great start as they raced to 78 for 1 at the end of powerplay. ENG vs WI 1st T20I: Highlights | Scorecard However, the Chester-le-Street surface soon became more receptive to spin bowling. Buttler, who got to his fifty in just 24 balls, had to be patient and the remaining runs in 34 balls as the support from the other end wasn't strong enough with wickets tumbling at regular intervals. advertisementWest Indies didn't make a great start to their run chase as Dawson struck early to remove Johnson Charles before Matthew Poots, who was making his T20I debut, removed Shai Hope with his second delivery. Evin Lewis threatened for sometime as he took apart Jacob Bethell for 24 runs in an over, however, his wicket off the last ball sort of ended the run-chase for the visitors. Dawson then removed Roston Chase and Sherfane Rutherford in quick succession to seal the contest and help England take a 1-0 lead. Dawson, who had been overlooked for a bit in the England setup, had gone on to make a name for himself in franchise cricket and broke the back of the chase with a sensational spell. With 98 needed off the final 10 overs, Adil Rashid delivered a tight spell, that put the pressure on the visitors. This opened the door for Dawson, who ensured Chase and Rutherford were caught in the deep and Rovman Powell was cleaned up and he took home the Player Of The Match award for his exploits. For West Indies, there weren't a lot of meaningful contributions from the middle order and they will need to recover quickly for the second T20I on June 8 in Bristol. Must Watch
