Vasco keeper Jardim pays the price after dismissal for time-wasting
Vasco de Gama goalkeeper Leo Jardim's late sending off for time-wasting against Internacional cost his side dear as they conceded in added time to draw 1-1 in Brazil's Serie A. Jardim, booked earlier in the second half also for delaying the game, sat in front of goal after the ball went out for a goal kick and was shown a second yellow, the referee ignoring his gestures towards his stomach, possibly indicating injury. Referee Flavio Rodrigues de Souza remained unmoved as the visiting Vasco players protested. Vasco were punished when Internacional then scored, missing out on a win due to a late equaliser for the second league game in a row at Porto Alegre. The draw on Sunday leaves Vasco 16th in the standings, only above the bottom-four relegation zone spots on goal difference after winning four of their 15 league games so far.

Former Australia wicketkeeper takes swipe at Ben Stokes and England over handshake offer
Former Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has criticised England after Ben Stokes ' offer to end the fourth Test with India early was rejected by Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. With 15 overs remaining in the match, England offered to declare the fourth Test a draw with Stokes proposing a handshake at around 5.25pm. However, both Jadeja and Sundar, who had batted together since the morning session on day five, had scores in the eighties and declined the offer as they looked to notch their centuries. England players were noticeably frustrated and the match subsequently ended in a draw, with both Sundar and Jadeja securing tons. Stokes and England have come under criticism for their reaction to India's decision, and now Haddin has offered his opinion, cheekily suggesting that 'just because it didn't go England's way... all of a sudden they're not happy'. 'India were 2-0, England are up and about, they thought they were going to win the Test, and there was an unbelievable partnership,' said Haddin, speaking on the Willow Talk Cricket Podcast. 'Gill once again, KL Rahul, (they) were outstanding. And as the game went on, all of a sudden it got to a situation where England said they can't win, so let's stop the game. 'So everything's got to stop because England are done playing. I like what India did. They earned the right to stay out there as long as they need to. They earned the right to get 100. 'And just because it didn't go England's way and they didn't get the answer that they want, all of a sudden they're not happy. They started to get verbal.' Haddin mentioned Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett specifically, calling their behaviour 'interesting', before adding: 'If things don't go England's way and they don't get the rub of the green, all of a sudden it's everyone else's problems.' 'So well done to India for staying out there, well done for getting a draw. When England were dropping all those catches, they gave enough chances to win the Test match. That's what they should be looking at, not that India decided to stay on a little bit longer.' England currently lead the series 2-1 after the draw, and though India cannot win it, they could also draw if they were able to win the final Test. The fifth match takes place at the Oval between Thursday, 31 July and Sunday, 4 August.

India bats out fourth Test draw against England, Cook and Vaughan lament pitch
India has batted out a draw in the fourth Test against England to keep the series alive, but even on a dead pitch at Old Trafford there was still time for fireworks. Led once again by captain Shubman Gill's 103, the tourists showed great character to secure a hard-fought draw in another run-fest of a Test. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar also tonned up on day five, much to the chagrin of English players after they offered to shake hands on a draw with both players in the 80s. England captain Ben Stokes was clearly upset by India's refusal to accept the draw despite having no shot at victory, and fielders could be heard on stump microphones swearing at the batters as they told them to hurry up while 25-year-old Sundar worked his way to his maiden Test century. After losing two wickets before they had scored a run in their second innings, India batted for over five sessions for the loss of two more wickets to end the final day on 4-425. England's dig of 669 had given them a 311-run first-innings lead and a shot at an innings victory with a Test to come, but Gill's courageous hundred — his fourth of the series — and 90 off 230 by KL Rahul set up the series-saving draw. Gill and Rahul, the leading run-scorers for the series with 722 and 511 respectively, fell in the first session on day five, but Jadeja and Sundar picked up the mantle with a 203-run unbeaten stand to see India home with England bowling part-timers Joe Root and Harry Brook. "Would they have walked off if someone from England was batting on 90 or 85 and someone has the opportunity to get his first Test hundred?" India coach Gautam Gambhir said. "Would you allow him to do it? It's up to them, if they want to play that way, that's up to them. I think both those guys deserved a hundred and fortunately they got it." Player of the match Stokes, who took five wickets in India's first innings and scored 141, said the job was done by Jadeja and Sundar after a "massive" partnership whether they reached their tons or not. "I don't think there would've been too much more satisfaction from walking off 100 not out, getting your team out of a tricky situation, than walking off at 80 or 90 not out," he said. Former England quick Steve Harmison said he did not think anyone crossed the line and both batters deserved their chance to reach their milestones. "It was a little bit farcical towards the end," he told ESPN. "I think Ben Stokes said to both batters 'do you really want to get a hundred while Harry Brook is bowling?' I think that was tongue in cheek." Ultimately the match rolled on for a few more overs, with the handshakes inevitably coming after Sundar reached his first Test century on a languid day-five pitch. "[England] dominated this Test match, but [have] to admit that the wicket won at the end of the day," former England captain Alastair Cook said on BBC. "We don't want wickets like this, we want them to deteriorate and wickets like this make batting look very easy on day five — we want jeopardy either towards the end or at the start. "The pitches have been so different from what you usually expect when you come to England because you'd expect lateral movement and there was nothing on this pitch." One of Cook's predecessors, Michael Vaughan, agreed saying there was "nothing" in the pitch for the bowlers. "They didn't get anything out of the pitch and it was glaring," he said. "The frustration will be for England not getting any wickets. The pitch had no lateral movements, there was nothing and it was difficult to get 20 wickets on this pitch." A closely fought series remains at 2-1 to England and the hosts must avoid defeat in the final Test at the Oval in London, starting on Thursday, to win it. ABC/Reuters
