The standout performer of the second Test, Sibley finished on 133 from 311 balls as England declared on 391-8 in the second innings, giving their bowlers a day and a half to get the Proteas out. But early progress was slow with the ball and, led by debutant Pieter Malan (63 not out), South Africa reached stumps still very much in the match on 126-2. Ben Stokes had accelerated the tourists’ innings with an explosive 72 off 47 in a partnership of 92 with Sibley, arriving at the beginning of the day with England already 264 runs in front....

The often explosive batsman showed his talent on the second day of Australia’s first Test with Pakistan, closing on 151 not out as the hosts reached 312-1 to lead by 72 runs at the Gabba. It was a remarkable knock from a man who managed just 95 runs in the Test series against England, where Stuart Broad proved his nemesis. But even in the wake of that torrid time, Warner claims he never lost faith in his own ability....

A Diego Costa brace and Saul Niguez’s late stunner helped Atletico to a 4-2 extra-time win over rivals and Champions League holders Real Madrid in Tallinn on Wednesday.

Coach Shankarlal Chakraborty made several changes in defence today. Bikramjit Singh partnered Eze Kinglsey in central defence while Debabrata Roy and Gurjinder Kumar got their maiden starts in at wing back. Mohun Bagan failed to impose any major threat in the first half an hour as both Ansumana Kromah and Bayi Kamo were kept under constant vigilance by Fuja Tope’s men. The deadlock finally broke in the 33rd minute when Nikhil Kadam found the back of the net from Bayi Kamo’s free-kick....

Maliki reacted faster than his predecessor did in the last attack, imposing a days-long curfew in the capital and visiting the site within hours. There have been fewer reprisal attacks than last time, as well, at least under the curfew. With his meeting pace slowing some, Maliki met with NEWSWEEK on Friday in his official residence, one of Saddam Hussein’s old guest villas. It’s mainly an office building, as Maliki actually lives nearby....

The former Bengals and Patriots receiver will be fighting Brian Maxwell as part of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul undercard. Johnson has never boxed before while Maxwell sports an 0-3 record in the ring. There are some reasons that the man formerly known as Chad Ochocinco is stepping into the ring. Is money one of them?

Some thought that Chainsaw Man’s second episode was too densely packed for what it was and while it was undoubtedly a lot, it had great character moments without shoehorning in too much action. This week’s episode was highly anticipated for its battle, but even while delivering on that promise, it earnestly laid its foundation with simple and earnest character moments that carried the episode to completion. At the end of last week’s episode, Power and Denji were on patrol when suddenly Power smelled blood and rushed into action against a devil down on the street below....

After an intense season was coming to a close, some fans were focusing on one of the devil’s controversial lines more than on its powers, which led to a huge controversy. Everything started when the Future Devil made their debut and told the heroes in the Chainsaw Man animeverse that the future is best more or less. While this line is very forthright, the fandom expected a different translation into Portuguese....

RELATED: Best Nintendo Switch Games For Young Kids (Across Multiple Genres) Among the game’s few critiques is the notion that, even on the game’s normal difficulty setting, the gameplay feels far too simple and passive. Still, there are a number of settings, challenges, and collectible goodies that can bring a new layer of difficulty to this seemingly easy-going ride. 10 Beat The Game In Co-Op Mode As with most games that offer a co-op mode, having a friend or family member aid in one’s journey typically makes things simpler....

“This place, the crayères, is full of energy; you really feel inside the Earth—connected to it—since this was all built by an ocean,” said Maya Mouawad, half of the environmental artist duo Mouawad Laurier, in a press conference at the winery in September. “This was really interesting to us, and we wanted to imitate the light motion under the ocean.” For Ruinart’s latest art exhibition, “Retour aux sources” (which means, “back to the sources”), Mouawad journeyed with her partner, Cyril Laurier, to Murano, Italy, to source handcrafted glass lamps for the immersive installation that puts on a sound-and-light show in the depths of the chalk cellars....

At the moment, they are second behind Manchester City (with only a point between them). We pick out three key battles that you cannot miss when the two sides meet at the Camp Nou tonight. #1 Lionel Messi vs Andy Robertson The battle between Lionel Messi, perhaps the greatest footballer on earth currently, and Liverpool’s Scottish left-back, Andrew Robertson, will be riveting to watch....

Spurs will attempt to overturn a 1-0 semi-final deficit against Ajax at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Wednesday after Donny van de Beek’s strike proved the difference between the sides in north London last week. Pochettino’s work since arriving at Tottenham in 2014 has seen him linked with some of the most high-profile jobs in world football. This season he was touted as the next boss of both Manchester United and Real Madrid before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Zinedine Zidane filled the respective vacancies at their former clubs....

The decision to suspend the flagship club tournament was made in the middle of March, just before the round-of-16 stage was fully complete, and it was unclear for a number of months when action would resume. On June 17, after a number of top leagues on the continent returned, UEFA confirmed that the Champions League will start back up again in August. However, once the last-16 games are complete, the final knockout stage of the competition will be different to what was initially planned....

The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has cut Barcelona’s odds to win the tournament to 7-to-5 after a spectacular performance at the Parc des Princes. The spotlight may have been on Lionel Messi as he went in search of his 400th goal for the Catalan giants, but it was Neymar and Luis Suarez who put Luis Enrique’s side in the driver’s seat ahead of the second leg at the Camp Nou....

After giving his side an early lead at Stadio San Paolo, Mertens won a second-half penalty which Jorginho converted to earn a commanding advantage ahead of next week’s return tie. Nice were without injured star Mario Balotelli and new signing Wesley Sneijder, and their relative inexperience showed as Mertens rounded the onrushing Yoan Cardinale for a 13th-minute opener. The hosts spurned several opportunities but will still take a handy buffer to Nice, whose task grew tougher when young midfielder Vincent Koziello was shown a straight red for a studs-up tackle on Piotr Zielinski....
