India will be without Shreyas Iyer, while England will be lacking both Sam Billings and Eoin Morgan
Alagappan Muthu25-Mar-20217:15
Who replaces Iyer? Do England need changes to their XI?
Big pictureIt appears the narrative of this series is set. England have committed to being the marauders and India are, as they’ve always been, the pragmatists. It’s like cricket’s own version of a buddy cop show.In the absence of Eoin Morgan, who split the webbing on his right hand on Tuesday, Jos Buttler will lead the troublemakers. The ones that don’t play by the rules but by their own. A set of fearless, gung-ho entertainers who truly believe in – and as a result, enhance the threat of – the firepower at their disposal. If ever there was a team that could touch 500 in an ODI, it is this lot. And no amount of collapses or defeats will sway them off this path. Better these wounds than those of 2015.Virat Kohli’s men are a little more straight-laced. They go by the book. They dot the I’s, cross the T’s because that’s how they have learned to get the job done. But lately, even they’ve been thinking about taking part in the shenanigans. Funnily enough, they’re doing by the book too.Ishan Kishan was selected for India on the day he nearly scored a double-hundred in a one-day domestic game. Krunal Pandya captains his state side and he’s here after racking up an average of 129 and a strike-rate of 117 in this season’s Vijay Hazare Trophy. India have understood the need for evolution. They are on the lookout for players with a 360 degree game and the ability to bring it out from ball one. Their talent pool knows it too. They know what they have to do to earn their cap and they are proving themselves ready for it.Ever since the 2019 World Cup, ODI cricket has been on a significant upswing. Now with teams like England re-imagining the limits of the game and India finding a new superstar every other day, there is no telling how much fun is in store.Form guide(Last five completed matches first)India: WWLLL England: LLWLLIn the spotlightEveryone has something to say about KL Rahul. And they are all mostly good. The team management backs him to the hilt. The experts see him as an all-format player. He himself has been expanding his game – taking on wicketkeeping duties and indulging in IPL captaincy – to make sure his cricket touches a new level. But you get the feeling he sometimes thinks too much, and that if he lets himself go for just a bit – play on instinct like the way Rohit Sharma does – he could unlock something glorious.In a game that was choking with headline-grabbing events, there was a moment of weirdness. Ben Stokes fumbled a ball coming straight at him and it went for four. He does not do that. He is more pluck the type to darn thing out of thin air while being suspended parallel to the ground. He is box office. But that’s not been as readily apparent in this series. There was that blitz in the first Test. Then he threatened to single-handedly win the fourth T20I, but a boss-mode performance from the world’s premier allrounder hasn’t quite come to pass. There’s still time though.Team newsShreyas Iyer’s shoulder injury opens up a spot in the middle order, and as replacements go, Rishabh Pant probably ain’t so bad. Kuldeep Yadav didn’t look in his usual rhythm in the first ODI and as such his place may be in jeopardy, especially with Yuzvendra Chahal waiting in the wings.India (possible): 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 Rishabh Pant, 5 KL Rahul (wk), 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Krunal Pandya, 8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 9 Shardul Thakur, 10 Yuzvendra Chahal, 11 Prasidh KrishnaMorgan has been ruled out of the rest of the series with his hand injury, and Sam Billings will miss the second game at least after jarring his collarbone on Tuesday. Liam Livingstone will make his ODI debut, and Dawid Malan – newly promoted from the reserve list – is likely to come back for his second ODI appearance. England may also be thinking about adding some variation to their bowling attack and can – if they want – call upon left-arm quick Reece Topley. Matt Parkinson, who has been an ever-present bubble member, is also in line for a call-up as England seek to assess their options.England (possible): 1 Jason Roy, 2 Jonny Bairstow, 3 Ben Stokes, 4 Dawid Malan, 5 Jos Buttler (capt & wk), 6 Liam Livingstone, 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Sam Curran, 9 Tom Curran, 10 Adil Rashid/Matt Parkinson, 11 Mark Wood/Reece TopleyPitch and conditionsTricky to start. Gets flat as the game goes on. Glorious under lights with the dew. That’s been the Pune pitch in one-day cricket. So it may be another game to win the toss and chase.Stats and trivia Since Jonny Bairstow (2654) began opening the batting for England in ODIs on 14 June 2017, only one man has scored more runs at the top of a batting order – Rohit Sharma (3831). And some of that is thanks to more innings played. Virat Kohli remains without an international century since November 2019. India have played ten ODIs since the start of 2020 across which they have picked only four wickets in the first ten overs. Their average (154) and run rate (6.16) in this period is the worst among 17 teams in this period. Quotes”I prefer the Virat who doesn’t get runs. That would be good.” Ben Stokes on which version of the Indian captain he likes“The extra 40-45 runs that Krunal and I got in the end ended up being very crucial and ended up making the difference. When you win games like that, you as players, we as a team, realise that we have the potential to do that even if our top order doesn’t fire.” KL Rahul says the performance from the lower-middle order in the first ODI will give more freedom to the top order

RETORNOS
Para enfrentar o Dragão, o técnico Renato Gaúcho contará com alguns reforços, sobretudo na zaga. Isso porque Rodrigo Caio se recuperou das dores no joelho direito, que o tiraram dos dois últimos compromissos do Fla. Dessa forma, a tendência é de que ele já retorne ao time titular.
Assim, ele deve fazer dupla com David Luiz, que também deve retornar ao time titular. O zagueiro não atua desde o dia 29 de setembro, quando o Flamengo venceu o Barcelona de Guayaquil, pelo jogo da volta da semifinal da Libertadores. O defensor teve umalesão no adutor da coxa esquerda e precisou ser substituído ainda no começo do primeiro tempo.
Por fim, Renato Gaúcho também contará com Bruno Henrique. O camisa 27 recebeu o terceiro cartão amarelo contra o Atlético-MG e, assim, precisou cumprir suspensão automática na última terça-feira, contra o Furacão.

GABIGOL
Depois de acabar com um jejum de nove dias sem marcar, Gabi está perto de alcançar uma marca histórica com a camisa do Flamengo. Isso porque caso balance as redes do goleiro Fernando Miguel, o atacante chegará aos 100 gols pelo Rubro-Negro.
VITINHO
Para o confronto, o Fla não contará com Kenedy.Ainda com o tornozelo esquerdo inchado, ele não trabalhou ao lado dos companheiros no último treino e, então, fica de fora. Nesse sentido, Vitinho surge no banco de reservas como a principal para o técnico Renato Gaúcho no setor ofensivo. O meia-atacante cresceu de produção como o novo treinador e é um dos líderes do time em assistências.
RAMON
O cria da base vai para o quinto jogo no Brasileirão e, cada vez mais, se consolida como reserva imediato de Filipe Luís. Teve atuações seguras sempre que acionado e foi um dos responsáveis por segurar ataques poderosos, como o do Atlético-MG e do Palmeiras. Nesta noite, terá mais um jogo para mostrar que é o futuro da posição no Fla.
Hoping to seal their summer by ticking one last target off their list, West Ham United are reportedly at an advanced stage to sign an attacking reinforcement and are now happy to meet his valuation.
West Ham transfer news
The Hammers have arguably had one of the best transfer windows in the Premier League, signing the likes of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Crysencio Summerville, Jean-Clair Todibo and several others. And Julen Lopetegui has already started to reward the owners for that investment, picking up his first three points as a West Ham manager in their 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
Even after a successful summer so far, however, the London club may not be done there on the incomings front, having been linked to the likes of Raheem Sterling and Carlos Soler.
PSG player Carlos Soler
Reports even suggest that their deal to sign Soler from Paris Saint-Germain is a priority for sporting director Tim Steidten, with negotiations ongoing to seal the Spaniard's signature. In a move to add more creativity to Lopetegui's midfield, Steidten has also reportedly turned his attention to signing a solution to the Hammers' long-term striker problem.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport via Sport Witness, West Ham are now at an advanced stage in their deal to sign Tammy Abraham and are even happy to meet his valuation of €20m-€25m (£17m-£21m) in the coming days.

West Ham star proved his worth with an excellent performance.
ByConnor Holden Aug 25, 2024
This follows earlier reports that West Ham were close to meeting that price tag, with the fresh update indicating that any gap has now been bridged ahead of the forward's potential arrival. A Chelsea academy graduate, Abraham looks increasingly likely to be on his way back to the Premier League, where he could haunt his former club by starring for a London rival in England's top flight this season.
Is Abraham better than Fullkrug?
It would have been easy to assume that West Ham were done with signing strikers after welcoming Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund earlier this summer, but he was never a long-term option at 31 years old. That's where Abraham could come in and instantly usurp the German this month, with his Premier League know-how a vital advantage in what would be an intense battle for the starting spot.

Managing a goal contribution just over every two games during his previous Premier League spell, Abraham would be arriving a more experienced forward this time around at 26 years old. Looking to rediscover his best form after an injury-ridden year or so at Roma, the London Stadium should be an ideal environment to do just that.
Former Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is someone who will certainly be keeping an eye on the England international, having praised Abraham during his time in charge. Lampard told Chelsea's official website: "I’m delighted with Tammy. He has a really great attitude in training, a desire to score goals and his all-round game was really good as well. Myself and the staff are working closely with him on little bits of his game where I think he can be even better and he’s been very receptive to that."
Para encostar no G4, o Vasco terá ao lado seu maior público desde o retorno da torcida ao Estádio de São Januário. Com 15 mil ingressos à venda, os torcedores prometem um verdadeiro caldeirão para ajudar a equipe a sair com a vitória diante do CSA, às 21h30, nesta sexta. O time está invicto com o apoio dos vascaínos na Colina Histórica (empatou com o Cruzeiro e venceu Goiás e Coritba).

Em campo, duas equipes que ainda sonham com o acesso no fim da temporada. Com isso, será o famoso “jogo de seis pontos”, que com um triunfo atrapalha um adversário direto na tabela. Antes de entrar em campo, o Cruz-Maltino sabe que Goiás e CRB apenas empataram na rodada e que em caso de vitória a diferença para o G4 despencará para apenas três pontos.

Até o fim do campeonato, o Vasco terá “sete finais”. dentre elas, quatro serão em São Januário. O desempenho da equipe como mandante melhorou com a chegada de Diniz. Até o momento são nove vitórias, três empates e três derrotas. Neste momento decisivo, não há mais tempo para deslizes e vencer em casa é fundamental.
Desde domingo, Diniz sabe que não poderá contar com o jogador que tem feito a diferença desde que chegou: Nene. Identificado com o clube, o camisa 77 voltou e em oito partidas foi decisivo na reação do time na classificação. Com quatro gols e suas assistências, ele não poderá estar em campo depois de tomar o terceiro amarelo.
+Três treinadores e um problema crônico: 47% dos gols sofridos pelo Vasco na Série B foram de jogo aéreo
A tendência é que Marquinhos Gabriel seja deslocado para exercer a função de Nene, e Andrey volte a ser titular. O primeiro tem atuado mais recuado e subiu de produção ao construir as jogadas vindo de trás. O segundo, por sua vez, era uma peça importante no esquema do treinador antes de se lesionar contra o Esmeraldino. O camisa 6 voltou no domingo e entrou na etapa final.
Por outro lado, Ricardo Graça estará de volta na zaga no lugar de Walber, que atuou contra o Timbu. O medalhista olímpico volta de suspensão, e o lateral-direito Léo Matos, que foi liberado na última partida para acompanhar o nascimento da filha também estará entre os relacionados. Ele desembarca no Rio de Janeiro nesta manhã e seguirá direto para a concentração.
+Adversário do Vasco, CSA reagiu na tabela, mas tropeçou e sofreu sete gols nas últimas duas rodadas
– A gente tem tratado o CSA como mais uma decisão, assim como foram todos os jogos depois que o professor Diniz assumiu. Sabemos que será um jogo difícil e que o CSA tem uma equipe muito boa. Já enfrentamos o treinador deles quando ele era do Cruzeiro. Sabemos que é uma equipe rápida, cascuda e com jogadores experientes. Mas estamos trabalhando muito no que a equipe do CSA tem de melhor para melhorarmos o que fizemos contra o Náutico – explicou Andrey, e acrescentou:
Sabemos que não fizemos uma boa partida, então temos que evoluir. Nenê é um grande jogador, mas há jogadores trabalhando e esperando muito esse momento. Temos que trabalhar o máximo que puder, resolver os erros que cometemos contra o Náutico. O CSA é uma decisão, ainda mais depois dos resultados de ontem (terça). Entrar no jogo para ganharmos e encostarmos no G4, que é o nosso objetivo – completou.
The Sunrisers earned their first win after their spinners strangled the Punjab Kings
Hemant Brar21-Apr-20213:11
Is Gayle’s form becoming a worry for Punjab Kings?
Chasing for the fourth time in as many games, the Sunrisers Hyderabad finally opened their account in IPL 2021 as they beat the Punjab Kings by nine wickets in Chennai.Set a target of 121, David Warner and Jonny Bairstow gave the Sunrisers a start of 73 in 10.1 overs. The Sunrisers had been in winning positions in their last two games as well before botching up. But this time, the calm presence of Kane Williamson ensured the Kings never got a sniff of victory as Bairstow, who remained unbeaten on 63 off 56, and he took their side home with eight balls to spare.Earlier, the Kings opted to bat but were bundled out in 19.4 overs. Khaleel Ahmed was the most successful bowler for the Sunrisers, picking up 3 for 23, but it was the spin duo of Rashid Khan and Abhishek Sharma that hurt the Kings more, registering combined figures of 3 for 41 from eight overs.With three losses on the trot, the Kings have replaced the Sunrisers at the bottom of the points table.Rashid’s sorcery leaves the Kings in trouble The day didn’t start well for Rashid. In the first over of the match, he dropped Mayank Agarwal at deep midwicket off Sharma. But soon he more than made up for that. After Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed KL Rahul cheaply and the Sunrisers restricted the Kings to 32 for 1 in the powerplay, Rashid was all over the opposition.First, his low catch at short midwicket sent Agarwal on his way for a 25-ball 22. And when he came on to bowl, even Chris Gayle, the only batter in the Kings line-up to have a positive record against Rashid, had no clue which way the ball would turn. Gayle thrust his bat and pad forward to a legbreak, only to be trapped lbw.In between those two wickets, Warner felled Nicholas Pooran with a direct hit, handing the batter his third duck in four innings. Pooran didn’t even face a ball this time. After pushing the ball towards extra cover, Gayle called for a quick single but Pooran was late to react and was found well short.Coming in at 47 for 4, Moises Henriques tried to sweep Rashid twice in the first two balls he faced. Both times Rashid pinged him on the thigh. Soon after, Rashid beat him with a googly but Bairstow, as clueless as the batter, missed the stumping.Abhishek Sharma dented the Punjab Kings middle order•BCCI/IPL
Sharma too shows his tricks Sharma was unlucky not to have Agarwal’s wicket when the batter was on 0, but against one of the prolific opening pairs in the IPL, he conceded just three in the first over. He got the reward for his disciplined bowling when he dismissed Deepak Hooda with a backspinner in the 12th over. Having started well, Hooda tried to flick one away but failed to connect and was lbw for 13.In his next over, Sharma deceived Henriques in the flight, beat him with the turn, and on this occasion Bairstow made no mistake with the stumping. It was only because of a couple of lusty blows from Shahrukh Khan that the Kings could cross 100.Warner, Bairstow lead the chase It wasn’t a daunting target but Warner and Bairstow knew a good start was crucial, especially with the pitch slowing down considerably and offering help to spinners. The Kings brought on left-arm spinner Fabian Allen in the second over but Bairstow didn’t let him settle down, bludgeoning him for a four and a six.In the next over, Bairstow and Warner hit a four each of Mohammed Shami. Despite Warner trudging along at run a ball, the Sunrisers had 50 on the board by the end of the powerplay.Warner holed out for 37, trying to dispatch a short ball from Allen, but Bairstow and Williamson ensured the Sunrisers knocked off the remaining 48 runs without losing another wicket. On the way, Bairstow brought up his second fifty in four innings, off 48 balls and his slowest in T20s till now.
It has certainly been a busy few months of the transfer window for Manchester United. The Red Devils have brought in four new signings and sold several players in order to reshape the squad as Erik ten Hag looks to improve on a poor campaign in 2023/24. United finished eighth last season, and although they won the FA Cup, will be hoping to improve on their league finish.
The 13-time Premier League champions have particularly strengthened at the back. They brought in Bayern Munich duo Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt for a combined fee of around £60m, with young 18-year-old French centre-back Leny Yoro also signing for the club from Lille for around £52m.
Leny Yoro for Man Utd.
Joshua Zirkzee also signed for the Red Devils from Bologna for just £36.5m, strengthening up front. The two clubs agreed a fee slightly higher than his release clause, but are paying the deal off over three years. If rumours are to be believed, then Manuel Ugarte will be the next signing through the door, with United finally thought to be close to agreeing a deal with PSG.
These signings have all helped reduce the average age of United’s squad, adding to an exciting young core that Ten Hag has built in the two and a bit seasons in the hot seat at Old Trafford, which includes breakthrough talent Kobbie Mainoo.
Mainoo’s breakthrough campaign
The 2023/24 season was an extraordinary campaign for 19-year-old academy graduate Mainoo, who rose to stardom in a United side that struggled to find consistent form. He quickly became a first-choice midfielder under the Dutch manager.
Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo
In fact, the youngster’s performances were even rewarded with a place in the England squad for Euro 2024. That was a competition in which he eventually became a starter for Gareth Southgate’s side, who suffered heartbreak in the final against Spain.
The Stockport-born wonderkid played 32 games for the Red Devils last term, overcoming an injury he picked up in the 2023 preseason to become a prominent player for Ten Hag. He scored five goals, including a winner in the FA Cup final against Manchester City and a stunner against Liverpool in the Premier League.
Mainoo showcased exemplary skills on the ball last season, demonstrating superb close control in tight areas and quick feet. That is certainly something reflected in his FBref numbers; per 90 minutes, the Carrington graduate averaged 2.81 take-ons and on average, completed 1.58 of those take-ons. For both of those metrics, Mainoo ranks in the top 7% of midfielders in Europe.
Despite being just 19-year-old is incredibly composed on the ball and has a real eye for a pass. The England international plays with astounding maturity for someone who has played only a handful of first-team appearances.
Fellow Carrington prodigy Marcus Rashford praised the young England international for such an attribute. United’s number 10 explained that “nothing seems to faze” Mainoo, and noted that he is “composed and confident in his abilities”, which is perhaps why he has seemed so easy-going during his extraordinary rise to the top in the past 12 months.
One thing that United have struggled to find is a permanent partner for the 19-year-old. Ugarte is one option and is a player who seems destined to join the club, but the Red Devils have recently been linked with another player who could become Mainoo’s dream partner.
Man Utd target Brazilian midfielder
The player in question here is Fluminense and Brazil international midfielder Andre. The 23-year-old has been the subject of transfer interest from many clubs in Europe over the past 18 months, and the transfer rumours continue to roll along.
According to a report from TNT Sports earlier this week, the Red Devils are now the latest club to show an interest in signing the midfield maestro before next Friday’s transfer deadline. The report suggests that negotiations are ongoing between the Old Trafford club and Andre’s representatives.
andre-trindade-premier-league-liverpool-transfers
However, United are not the only club currently interested, with Wolverhampton Wanderers also believed to be in talks with his agent about a move. However, neither club are believed to have made an offer for the midfielder, who could cost around £30m, the price Fulham were quoted for his signature earlier in the summer, although that deal fell through.
The in-demand talent has played a crucial part for Fluminense so far during the 2023/24 season in Brazil. He has featured 28 times in all competitions, including 11 in the Brazilian Serie A. Frustratingly, a knee injury kept him out of the Copa America over the summer.
Andre Trindade with Fluminense teammates.
Indeed, the Brazilian could prove to be the ideal partner for Mainoo. He thrives in a double pivot and would offer defensive security to the young England international, who could then look to drive forward and influence the game in the final third, where he really excels.
That is certainly reflected in his FBref numbers from the 2024 season. Andre reads the game superbly well and averaged 3.57 tackles and interceptions in the Brazilian Serie A, and a very impressive 7.42 ball recoveries per game, which ranks him in the top 3% of midfielders.

Stats from FBref
His off-the-ball quality is certainly very clear to see, but the youngster also thrives on the ball. He is a wonderful progressive passer, and averages 5.87 per 90 minutes, which ranks him in the 77th percentile of midfielders. He retains possession superbly and ranks in the top 5% of midfielders for passes completed per game, with 60.86 on average.
United certainly need a long-term target for their young starlet in midfield, and Andre could offer the solution to their solution. His impressive work rate out of possession, coupled with his quality on the ball, could be the perfect blend to pair with Mainoo, who would not be shackled with as much defensive responsibility as he has previously been.
Andre Trindade
Football talent scout Jacek Kulig described Andre as a “jewel”, and for just £30m, United might well look to bring him – ahead of Ugarte – to the club as the man to get the best out of their gem of a talent, Mainoo.
Man Utd hit gold on "monster" Ten Hag signing who's worth more than Ugarte
He’ll be hoping to make a significant impact this year…
The summer transfer window of 2024 was not one where Tottenham blew the Premier League away but they did seal some impressive captures.
Archie Gray, hailed as a "future £100m" midfielder by some is viewed as an elite talent in the making while the £65m addition of Dominic Solanke, although pricey, will certainly add more goals to Ange Postecoglou's ranks.
Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke
Wilson Odobert has started his Spurs career brightly and looks a real talent, although he will have to improve his decision-making and end product to make it long-term in north London.
There were also a series of important departures with the likes of Oliver Skipp, Emerson Royal, Joe Rodon and Giovani Lo Celso heading for pastures new.

With such a long list of departures, whether it was permanent or loan deals, it may well intrigue supporters to learn how some of those players are getting on.
Let's have a look at the enigmatic Emerson.
Emerson's time at Milan so far
It's safe to say that the Brazilian was never the most consistent player in a Tottenham shirt.
Despite racking up 101 appearances for the club, the 25-year-old never really set the world alight having arrived from European royalty in the form of Barcelona.
Emerson Royal
Branded as a "liability" by the ever-outspoken Jamie O'Hara, a series of defensive errors and total indecision often cost him during his days in north London.
Whether it was that red card challenge on Gabriel Martinelli in 2022 or what may have proven to be the final straw – an error against Hearts in pre-season – the full-back was given chance after chance but rarely repaid his manager's faith.
As a result, the defender was sold this summer, heading to AC Milan in a move worth around £13m according to reports.
How's it all gone then? Well, as Italian football editor Kaustubh Pandey stated on Saturday, Spurs have secured a "deal for the ages" given his price tag and subsequent performances on the continent.
Yeah, it's not started very well for Emerson. Should we be surprised? Probably not, but the level of criticism he has attracted since moving is quite something.
Handed 5/10 ratings by Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport for his performances against both Parma and Lazio in recent weeks, the full-back was further described as "woeful" by Milan writer Isak Moller and "terrible" by The Athletic's Martino Puccio.
The error in the clip below rather sums up what they're talking about.
So, what do the numbers say? It's not great viewing either for the recently departed Spurs defender.
