Kevin Pietersen struck a timely half-century but the rest of England’s top order struggled against Western Australia in Perth and it needed Stuart Broad, following on from his three wickets, to form a counter-attacking stand with Graeme Swann to ensure they reached parity with the hosts. England’s attack then struggled to make breakthroughs as the Warriors closed on 1 for 109, a lead of 128, with Wes Robinson unbeaten on 46.England were in early trouble during the morning session as they slipped to 3 for 27 then, after Pietersen and Jonathan Trott added 61, they slumped to 7 for 117. The damage was done by the left-arm spinner Michael Beer, in just his third first-class match, and quick bowler Michael Hogan, but England’s lower order ensured against embarrassment as Broad and Swann clubbed a stand of 64 in six overs before Andrew Strauss declared 19 behind.The strength of England’s lower order could be a vital component to the Ashes series – as it was during the 2009 contest – but they won’t want to be bailing out the senior batsmen on a regular basis. Only Pietersen will be at all satisfied with his day’s work after striking nine boundaries in 58 to suggest that his form is returning after his struggles over the last 18 months.However, he was given a life on 25 when Luke Pomersbach couldn’t hold a tough chance at second slip and then chipped Beer just over mid-off as he attacked the spinner. His dismissal, caught in the gully as he drove at Hogan, was part of England’s middle-order wobble with Matt Prior (0) falling in the next over when he tamely drove Beer to short cover.The day had started poorly for England when Strauss edged a back-foot shot to the keeper and James Anderson, the nightwatchman, was brilliantly held at second slip by Pomersbach after a painful 40-ball stay. Trott (24) had settled in at his own pace but, having worked hard to form a platform, he edged Beer to the keeper trying to force through the off side.Paul Collingwood (4) was sharply snapped up by Marcus North in the gully, but Ian Bell started in positive fashion by launching Beer down the ground for six only to limply prod to slip for 21, which left England 8 for 159. After all the problems suffered by Australia in recent weeks, a batting collapse by the visitors won’t go unnoticed, especially against a weakened attack which lost Steve Magoffin, who limped off with a knee injury in his sixth over.Broad, whose first scoring shot went through the hands of first slip, and Swann responded with a flurry of boundaries – reminiscent of their merry slog at Headingley during the 2009 Ashes – with Broad reaching his fifty with a swept six off Beer. That shot led to the declaration and another chance for England’s bowlers.Second time around, though, there were no early scalps as Robinson and Liam Davis (43) added 77 for the first wicket. Steven Finn, who struggled in the first innings, eventually broke through when Davis was trapped lbw. That was England’s only success as Robinson followed his opening-day 62 with another stubborn display and it’s in Western Australia’s hands as to how much of a second innings they want to give the visitors.

O zagueiro Pedro Henrique renovou seu contrato com o Corinthians até o fim de 2021. O antigo vínculo ia até o fim de 2019.

Cria da base alvinegra, Pedro Henrique subiu ao elenco profissional em 2015 e soma 58 jogos, três gols pelo clube e três títulos: Brasileiros (2015 e 2017) e Paulista (2017). Ele está com 22 anos.

O zagueiro iniciou a temporada como titular, após a saída de Pablo. Porém, com a chegada de Henrique, ele voltou a ser o reserva imediato no setor.

Na zaga, a diretoria busca renovar com outro jogador: Balbuena, que tem contrato apenas até o fim deste ano e negocia desde o segundo semestre de 2017. O jogador paraguaio diz frequentemente que confia em um acerto para prorrogar o vínculo com o Timão.

Fulham’s director of football Tony Khan has revealed that winger Fabio Carvalho has agreed a deal to join Liverpool during the upcoming transfer window, despite the final game of the season against Sheffield United still being left to play.

The Lowdown: Strong links to Merseyside

The 19-year-old’s current contract with the Cottagers is set to expire at the end of the season, making him a free agent to any potential suitors interested in securing his services.

The Portugal U21 ace has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield this summer, after a deal that was initially in place for the Reds to sign Carvalho in January fell through on deadline day.

Even though the forward has suggested that he is yet to make up his mind on where he will be playing his football next campaign, the Fulham chief appears to have confirmed that his star man will be departing ahead of this weekend’s clash at Sheffield United.

The Latest: Khan confirms departure

When asked for an update on the youngster’s future during an interview with The Athletic (via The Mirror), Khan said:

“I really like Fabio. He’s a player we have always rated, coming out of the academy, and we would have loved to have kept him. But we have made a deal that is best for the club and, since that agreement, it’s worked out wonderfully because he has been such a valuable part of the promotion.

“Marco has done a great job with him. They have a great relationship and Fabio has been tremendous for us. He’s a huge part of the squad and it’s a massive loss but, because we have done good business, we can do good business to make sure we are strong in that position.”

The Verdict: A huge loss

Carvalho has had an outstanding term with the west London outfit, where he has scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in just 37 outings across all competitions, as per Transfermarkt, so it’s no shock that his impressive performances have caught the eye of Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Liverpool will be getting an absolute bargain, but it will obviously come as a huge loss to Fulham, who were surely keen to retain him based on Khan’s comments, having just recently gained promotion back to the top-flight themselves.

Described as being an “exciting talent” by Sky Sports pundit Kevin Phillips, Marco Silva and co. will no doubt be gutted not to have his end product when battling against elite competition week in week out next season, and perhaps he can sign off in style with a goal against the Blades this weekend.

The 2010 Friends Provident t20 finalists, winners Hampshire and runners-up Somerset, have accepted invitations to play in the Caribbean T20 which will be staged during January

Andrew McGlashan16-Nov-2010

The 2010 Friends Provident t20 finalists, winners Hampshire and runners-up Somerset, have accepted invitations to play in the Caribbean T20 which will be staged during January.It will provide an element of compensation for missing out on the Champions League Twenty20 due to the tournament, which was held in South Africa in September, clashing with the end of the county season. Both counties will earn a participation fee and the WICB will cover their costs although the possible earnings won’t match the CLT20 which Somerset were part of in 2009.”It is beneficial to us, not on the scale of the Champions League unfortunately but it’s a meaningful competition,” Richard Gould, the Somerset chief executive, told ESPNcricinfo. “We’ll be rolling out as many of our big guns as possible. That means flying Peter Trego back from Australia where he’s playing club cricket and Nick Compton from Zimbabwe. I think we’ll have all our England players unless they are actually playing for the senior team.”If Craig Kieswetter misses out on England’s one-day squad for the series in Australia, which appears likely after he was dropped in favour of Steven Davies for the Pakistan contests, then he could be available while it can be another stage for Jos Buttler and James Hildreth. But, in order to avoid the debate that surrounds any Somerset overseas trip, Gould confirmed Marcus Trescothick won’t be travelling. “He’s not going, that’s decided,” he said.”It will be the second international tournament we have played in two years after the Champions League and we’ll be going out to do extremely well,” Gould added. “We knew something was in the air about seven or eight weeks ago and are delighted to be invited. We will take the competition very seriously.”We think it comes at a really good time for us. It is midway through the winter, our players are already back in pre-season training and this will give them something really meaningful to get their teeth into.”Rod Bransgrove, the Hampshire chairman, added: “The Caribbean T20 tournament is a great opportunity for the Hampshire squad to reconvene and play some high-quality cricket over the winter months. I’m sure it will be a very enjoyable fortnight for everyone involved.”The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, where English cricket’s most recent association was with the abandoned Test match in 2009, will host the qualifying round while the competition will then conclude in Barbados. The tournament runs from January 10 to 23.”The WICB is delighted to have again partnered with the ECB on this progressive initiative,” Ernest Hilare, the WICB chief executive, said. “The participation of the two top Friends Provident t20 teams in CT20 will certainly enhance the tournament and heighten the excitement. We look forward to keen contests between our Caribbean teams and Hampshire and Somerset and look forward to welcoming English fans to the fun and excitement of Caribbean style T20 cricket.”

Newcastle United face the daunting prospect of facing an aggravated Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League this afternoon.

Pep Guardiola’s side lost 6-5 on aggregate to Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek and the domestic title is the one trophy they can win this season, which may spell bad news for the Magpies as the league leaders focus all of their effort, and frustration, on this match.

Meanwhile, the Toon come into the game off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at St James’ Park last weekend. Naby Keita scored the only goal as Eddie Howe’s side managed to avoid a drubbing against the Reds, which the 44-year-old will be hoping to prevent again today.

With Newcastle playing away from home against the Cityzens, the ex-Cherries head coach may be expecting a tough 90 minutes playing against the ball for the most part. He may therefore pick a team with this in mind, and one player he must finally unleash from the start is centre-forward Chris Wood.

Howe must unleash Chris Wood

The New Zealand international has not started a Premier League match since 20 April against Crystal Palace, and he must now be brought back into the fold.

Magpies reporter Ciaran Kelly claimed last month that the striker provides the team with a “focal point”, and this is why the 30-year-old needs to start against City. He can offer an outball for the rest of the players to hit in order to relieve pressure as the opposition potentially sustain attack after attack whilst dominating possession.

In Europe’s top five leagues over the past 365 days, Wood ranks in the 97th percentile for aerial battles won per 90 minutes amongst strikers. He has won a whopping 8.7 headers per 90 minutes in the Premier League, which illustrates the value that he will be able to provide to Newcastle at the top of the pitch.

The striker, who Howe claimed has been “fantastic” since coming to St James’ Park, can make himself a target for the likes of Jamaal Lascelles and Dan Burn to hit when they have the opportunity to clear the ball. Wood can then either hold the ball up with his strength or flick the ball on to the likes of Joelinton and Allan Saint-Maximin, allowing them to use their pace to threaten on the counterattack.

Therefore, the £72k-per-week colossus can play a crucial role in Newcastle getting anything out of this match, and he must be selected in the starting line-up today.

AND in other news, Imagine him & Bruno: Howe must land NUFC swoop for £17.1m gem who “radiates calmness”…

عقد ليفربول لقاءً سريًا مع أحد لاعبي منتخب المغرب قبل كأس العالم بشأن صفقة انتقال محتملة، حسبما أفادت تقارير صحفية اليوم.

وذكرت صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية، نقلًا عن “فوت ميركاتو”، أن ليفربول لديه رغبة قوية في الحصول على خدمات اللاعب سفيان أمرابط من نادي فيورنتينا.

يلعب لاعب خط الوسط البالغ من العمر 26 عامًا حاليًا مع فيورنتينا في دوري الدرجة الأولى الإيطالي ولديه مجموعة من الأندية التي تراقبه منذ أشهر.

كان توتنهام حريصًا الصيف الماضي على ضم أمرابط، لكنه فشل في الاتفاق على رسوم مع الجانب الإيطالي.

لا يزال يُعتقد أنهم مهتمون بـ أمرابط، لكن يبدو الآن أن ليفربول هو الذي يقود سباق المنافسة على ضمه.

وأوضحت أن يورجن كلوب يتطلع بقوة إلى تعزيز خط الوسط في صفوف ليفربول، خلال موسم الانتقالات الشتوي المقبل.

وأشارت إلى أن ذلك أدى إلى لقاء يورجن كلوب مع ممثلي أمرابط قبل أن ينضم إلى منتخب المغرب في كأس العالم قطر 2022.

وأفادت أن الاجتماع كان “إيجابيًا” وأن الطرفين “خططا لعقد اجتماع آخر بعد كأس العالم 2022.

لكن عمالقة الأنفيلد ليسوا الوحيدين الذين يأملون في اقتناصه من فيورنتينا، حيث أن إنتر ميلان يريد إبقائه في إيطاليا ويراقب وضعه “بعناية”.

لا يزال لدى فيورنتينا خيار تمديد عقد أمرابط لمدة عام آخر والحفاظ على قيمة انتقاله عالية.

ومع ذلك، يُقال إن اللاعب “يحلم” باللعب في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز وقد يكون من الصعب للغاية مقاومة اهتمام ليفربول.

ينصب تركيز النجم حاليًا على مساعدة بلاده في صناعة المزيد من التاريخ في كأس العالم.

لعب 120 دقيقة كاملة بمساعدة الحقن المسكنة قبل أن تصدم المغرب إسبانيا بإقصائها من البطولة بركلات الترجيح مساء الثلاثاء.

الآن هو وزملاؤه يستعدون لمباراة ربع النهائي مع البرتغال يوم الأحد في دور ربع نهائي مونديال قطر.

Se não sofrer gol no jogo de volta contra o Santos, às 20h30 desta terça-feira, no Pacaembu, o Palmeiras estará classificado para a final do Paulistão. A boa fase do goleiro Jailson, autor de grandes defesas na vitória por 1 a 0 no jogo de ida, é um dos maiores trunfos da equipe comandada por Roger Machado.

Jailson já não toma um gol há 380 minutos, sem contar os acréscimos. O último a vazá-lo foi Rodriguinho, do Corinthians, aos 39 minutos do primeiro tempo do Dérbi em Itaquera.O goleiro do Palmeiras jogou só mais 20 minutos naquele dia, já que foi expulso no início da etapa final. Fernando Prass entrou e tomou o segundo gol, marcado de pênalti por Clayson.

Depois disso, Jailson jogou quatro partidas e não foi vazado em nenhuma delas: vitórias sobre Junior Barranquilla (3 a 0), São Paulo (2 a 0), Novorizontino (3 a 0) e Santos (1 a 0). Ele ficou fora de três partidas no período: derrota por 1 a 0 para o São Caetano, quando cumpriu suspensão automática pela expulsão (Prass jogou), vitória por 3 a 0 sobre o Ituano, poupado (Weverton jogou), e vitória por 5 a 0 sobre o Novorizontino, para cumprir pena imposta pelo TJD-SP (Prass jogou).

Punido com três partidas de suspensão pelo pênalti e pelas declarações que deu na derrota para o Corinthians, Jailson ainda tem mais uma a cumprir. O clube, no entanto, obteve um efeito suspensivo que o libera para jogar até a realização de um novo julgamento. A expectativa é conseguir mantê-lo disponível até o fim da competição.

– O Jailson passa muita segurança para nós. Aquela cabeçada do Renato ele tirou praticamente de dentro do gol. Fico muito feliz por essa fase dele, que ele possa ajudar ainda mais – disse o atacante Keno.

Jailson disputou 13 jogos em 2018 e sofreu apenas seis gols. Ele passou ileso em oito desses jogos.

O baixo número de gols sofridos pelo Verdão, no entanto, não é mérito apenas de um jogador. Prova disso é que a equipe sofreu apenas um(Chiquinho, do São Caetano) nos últimos sete jogos.

O time não foi vazado nos últimos cinco jogos, atingindo sua melhor marca de 2008. Na época, os comandados de Vanderlei Luxemburgo completaram seis partidas sem gol do adversário. Depois disso, o máximo foram quatro jogos com a defesa invicta, algo que se repetiu por cinco vezes. A maior sequência de jogos sem sofrer gols da história alviverde foi registrada em 1987: 12 jogos.

O Atlético-MG vai fazer sua estreiaCopa Sul-Americana, nesta quarta-feira, contra o San Lorenzo. A partida será realizada às 19h15, no estádio Nuevo Gasómetro, na Argentina. Após deixar escapar o título do Campeonato Mineiro, o Galo tem a chance de reconquistar a confiança dos torcedores.Mesmo sendo o primeiro jogo, os dois times encaram as partidas de maneiras diferentes.

Depois de ficar cinco jogos sem perder, o San Lorenzo levou uma goleada de5 a 0 para o Godoy Cruz, dentro de casa. Emterceiro lugar no Campeonato Argentino, o Ciclón foca no torneio nacional, o meio mais fácil para conseguir uma vaga na Copa Libertadores do ano que vem. Alguns atletas do time devem ser poupados no jogo contra o Galo.

Para o Atlético-MG, a Sul-Americana tem um peso maior. É a única competição internacional que a equipe comandada por Thiago Larghi está participando. O Alvinegro também busca o título inédito na competição.

O Galo levou 20 jogadores para a Argentina, mas como o regulamento da Copa Sul-Americana de 2018, permite que apenas 18 atletas sejam relacionados para o confronto, dois jogadores devem ficar de fora.

O capitão Leonardo Silva sofreu pequena lesão na coxa direita e não seguiu com a delegação para Buenos Aires. O técnico Thiago Larghi confirmou Bremer no time titular. Esta éa única mudança da equipe para quarta-feira.

O provável Atlético-MG para o duelo é: Victor; Patric, Bremer, Gabriel e Fábio Santos; Adilson e Elias; Luan, Cazares e Otero; Ricardo Oliveira.

O San Lorenzo deve ter a seguinte escalação: Navarro; Díaz, Gonzalo Rodríguez, Senesi, Rojas; Gudiño, Mercier, Quignon (Barrios), Castro; Botta; Blandi.

O jogo de volta entre Atlético-MG e San Lorenzo será em 8 de maio, às 21h45, no Independência. O gol fora de casa é critério de desempate e, caso o placar termine igual e com o mesmo número de gols dos visitantes, o confronto será decidido nas penalidades máximas.

Daniel Vettori embellished his record against his favourite opponent with a fine to lift New Zealand to 356, before Pakistan’s top order put up a determined reply to leave the game evenly balanced

Daniel Vettori embellished his record against his favourite opponent with a century that was exemplary for the smoothness of its gear-shifts and guided New Zealand from their dodgy overnight position to a score of 356. New Zealand’s progress centred around the 138-run stand between Vettori and Reece Young, who made his maiden half-century, as Pakistan’s attack played into the home side’s hands with an unimaginative approach during the morning session. Their batsmen, however, showed more enterprise, with Taufeeq Umar and Azhar Ali making half-centuries to lead a strong response. Taufeeq’s late exit left Pakistan at 134 for 2, and the game evenly balanced going into the third day.New Zealand’s seamers came out with purpose after Vettori’s heroics, and plugged away on a length outside off despite not getting much help from the wicket. Bowling into the wind, Tim Southee got one to nip away from Mohammad Hafeez, who hit his pad with the bat as he shaped to drive. Umpire Rod Tucker upheld the appeal, triggering another round of debate around the inconsistency in the implementation of the UDRS.Having found his bearings in the session leading up to tea, Taufeeq checked in with two delectable shots in Southee’s first over of the final session, driving square when he was offered width, and straight when he wasn’t. When the seamers angled into his pads, he made them pay almost every time, while also leaving well throughout his innings, both on line and length.Azhar was more subdued and survived a couple of outside edges, the second of which carried low to a late-reacting Ross Taylor, standing wide at first slip. Despite the odd stutter, Azhar showed glimpses of the determination that marked him out in the tours of England and South Africa. The highlight of his effort was a back-foot square drive off Southee, so delicate that it wasn’t noticed by an unfortunate pigeon in the deep-point area that had its feathers ruffled.With the fast bowlers struggling for impact, New Zealand turned to their captain for inspiration once again, and he nearly intervened in his first over, the 26th of the innings. Young appealed without conviction after juggling a thin inside edge from Taufeeq, which no one else seemed to have noticed. Unperturbed by the reversal, Vettori settled into a searching spell, getting the ball to misbehave occasionally from the rough outside Taufeeq’s off stump. Without the aid of the bowlers’ foot marks, he set up a fascinating tussle with Azhar, testing him with flight and drift, and it was down to the batsman’s fortune that he managed to survive Vettori’s best.When Vettori threatened to tie him up with his variations, Azhar stepped out to launch him inside-out over long-off for his first six in Test cricket. The respite was temporary, and Vettori nearly accounted for him twice, beating him through the air with subtle variations in flight, inducing a couple of miscues that landed safely. Taufeeq was easily the more assured of the two, but succumbed with stumps in sight, jabbing Vettori into the slips for 70. His dismissal reignited New Zealand’s hopes, which had flagged a touch after a dominant morning.Pakistan’s early woes were exemplified by Gul, who showed little of the craft and presence of mind he had displayed on the first day. Then, he had used the wind behind him to hustle the batsmen, while getting the ball to deviate disconcertingly from a length. Today, his average length was at least a foot shorter, and he wasted the new ball with a slew of bouncers and wide deliveries. Vettori and Young were happy to stay back in the crease and pick gaps in the field when they were forced to play. With Wahab Riaz indisposed, Abdur Rehman took over duties at the Scoreboard End and got several deliveries to drift prodigiously into Vettori, but did not have enough spin to work with.Vettori mastered the conditions and the one-dimensional line of attack, to set himself up for a rich harvest. He steered one of Gul’s many harmless, short deliveries for four through the off side, and off the next ball, brought up his first half-century in nearly 10 months, shuffling across to off stump and turning round the corner. When Gul made way for Tanvir at the Vance End, Vettori welcomed him with a crisp on-drive for four more.At the other end, Young showed enough poise to promise a long stint in the national side. He survived his only error in the first hour, top-edging a pull off a Tanvir bouncer behind the wicketkeeper’s head, and brought up his fifty with a thick edge through gully for four more. His dismissal, with lunch round the corner, gave Pakistan an opening, but Vettori was not done with them yet. He seamlessly shifted from the initial brief of crease occupation and produced a raft of innovative strokes to swell New Zealand’s score.Tanvir followed up the ball that dismissed Young with a sharp bouncer that rattled Southee’s helmet, and there were a couple more bumpers from Gul after lunch. Southee did not last long, falling to a fuller one, but Vettori’s innovation earned New Zealand 34 from their last two wickets. He moved across to off stump to nudge Gul’s lifters to the leg side, trotted out of the crease to launch Rehman straight for six, and later reverse-swept him against the spin. Vettori had reached 96 when Gul snaked an incutter through Brent Arnel’s defences. Martin survived four deliveries in fortuitous fashion, working the home crowd into a frenzy of applause, and they soon repeated the routine for Vettori’s well-deserved ton. His batting put New Zealand on top in the morning, and his bowling refused to allow Pakistan to dictate terms thereafter.
