Hangzhou Greentown v Manchester United,burning match online

Owen has already scored twice in three appearances on United's pre-season Far East tour and Ferguson is adamant the former Liverpool and Newcastle striker can maintain that scoring rate in the Premier League.

"I hope it's plenty," Ferguson said when asked how many goals Owen could score.

"If you look at his goal-scoring record over the years, even the last two years at Newcastle in difficult times, he's scored at one in two.

"He's easily capable of that level, one in two games, so if he players 25 games for me next season, I think he'll get 15 goals."

Despite losing Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Carlos Tevez from his strike-force in the close season, Ferguson has no shortage of fire-power at his disposal.

Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Federico Macheda all scored in United's 3-2 win over FC Seoul on Friday, and Ferguson said he was still figuring out the best way to use his forward talent.

"We've actually been rotating all the four strikers, because we're bringing new players like Owen into the team and also there's young players like Macheda coming through," he added

"He can stay at Milan but he's willing (to come).

"He's thinking: 'I had a great time at Arsenal and now I want to come and be a great player for Tottenham for a couple of years'," Redknapp said.

The 33-year-old France international had a distinguished career at Premier League Tottenham's north London rivals Arsenal and such a move would be highly controversial.

Vieira played 406 games for Arsenal in nine seasons, winning three league titles and three FA Cups, and it would be a major surprise for the fans of both clubs if he joined Spurs.

Asked if he was surprised Vieira wanted to come, Redknapp said: "Yes, it's a courageous move isn't it?"

"If he comes and plays well the fans will love him, why shouldn't they, and they'll probably think they've got one over on Arsenal because we've taken one of their great players.

The Albania midfielder becomes Black Cats boss Steve Bruce's third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Paraguay skipper Paulo Da Silva and England Under-21 striker Fraizer Campbell.

"I'm delighted to have brought Lorik to the club, especially given the number of clubs who had expressed an interest in signing him," said Bruce, who had earlier described the player as being "right up my street".

Cana, who turns 26 on Monday, has 31 caps for Albania and helped Marseille to a second-placed finish behind Bordeaux in Ligue 1 last season.

Bruce added: "He brings with him a tremendous amount of experience both at club level and internationally and is a great addition to our squad.

"To captain a side of Marseille's stature says a lot about the player and his character, and I'm sure he'll go on to be a fantastic signing for Sunderland."

In the closest vote in our 'Greatest' series, Kinkladze picked up 27 per cent of the vote to take the honours ahead of Colin Bell (18 per cent) and Francis Lee (13 per cent).

Kinkladze spent three seasons at Maine Road between 1995 and 1998, and in two of those City were relegated. Yet the little Georgian's magical feet and loyalty after City dropped out of the Premier League earned him a special place in the hearts of the fans.

Attacking midfielder Bell played a significant role in the club's most successful spell, winning a League title, FA Cup, League Cup and Cup-Winners' Cup.

Lee was also part of that glorious side, winning the title in his first season and maintaining his goalscoring feats throughout seven years at the club.

The Cottagers, who will play in Europe for the first time in seven years, were drawn to play either Finnish side HJK Helsinki or Lithuanian outfit FK Vetra.

HJK will be favoured to progress against Vetra, however - they take a 1-0 advantage into the home leg of their second qualifying round tie - meaning that Hodgson looks likely to return to the nation whose national side he managed prior to joining Fulham.

New Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee will have to wait to discover the opposition he will face in his first competitive game in charge.

The former Ipswich and West Brom boss has signed striker Marc-Antoine Fortune from Nancy for a reported fee of £3.8 million while also recruiting midfielder Landry N'Guemo on a season-long loan deal from the French club.

However, Grant, a former Celtic midfielder, insists the search for players continues.

"We know we have a hell of a lot of good quality players here," the former Celtic midfielder told Sky Sports ahead of Wednesday's friendly against Cardiff in Wales.

"If we can bring others to make the squad better and stronger, and get the guys up to the level that they are capable of, then hopefully we will have a very good side and one that is capable of progressing weekly and hopefully progressing in the Champions League

Thailand vs Liverpool,amazing strike online watching

Ryan Babel put Liverpool ahead on six minutes, but a well worked Panupong Sutee strike on 72 minutes gave Peter Reid's Thailand the draw.

Before a packed crowd of 70,000, Liverpool started brightly and deservedly took the lead early on.

Jamie Carragher was the architect, sliding the ball into the path of Babel, whose early side-footed finish found the bottom corner.

Dirk Kuyt went close with a long-range effort midway through the half, but for all Liverpool's possession they struggled to create clear-cut chances.

Reid's Thailand side had their only real chance of the half late on, when Datsakorn Thonglao's free-kick fizzed over the bar.

But they pulled level midway through the second half when Sutee played a neat one-two, drove into the box and clipped a left-foot finish past Diego Cavalieri.

He added: "The training was great and there was proper professionalism and discipline at the club. I think discipline was lacking over the last three years, but he came in and changed things.

Nasri arrived at Arsenal a year ago from Marseille for around £15 million and immediately established himself as Arsene Wenger's first-choice on the left wing, scoring on his full debut in the 1-0 win over West Brom.

In all, he scored seven goals in his first season at the Emirates, including a decisive brace in the 2-1 win over Manchester United in November.

The injury blow is not as harsh as it could have been for Wenger as another left winger, Czech Tomas Rosicky, returned to action for the first time in 18 months in Saturday's pre-season friendly at Barnet.

Wenger is yet to boost the attacking contingent of his squad this summer, despite the recent sale of striker Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City. So far, Belgian centre-back Thomas Vermaelen is the only major addition to the Gunners' squad during the transfer window.qa

The French striker, a £30 million acquisition from Lyon, replaced Ronaldo at half-time at the Tallaght Stadium and the former Lyon forward scored with just three minutes remaining to break the home side's hearts.

Ronaldo's every touch was booed by the 10,915 fans squashed into Rovers' Tallaght Stadium, where capacity was trebled to see Real's Galacticos who had trained for a week on the outskirts of Dublin.

Some tried to catch a glimpse of the world player of the year from nearby apartments, many with 190,000 euro for sale signs attached, roughly what Real's new number nine earns a week.

The Spanish giants lined up with the likes of Raul, Gonzalo Higuain and Guti from the start, although the first of the club's major summer signings, Kaka, was granted extra holiday following his triumphant Confederations Cup campaign with Brazil.

However, all eyes were on £80m world record signing Ronaldo making his debut, but the Shamrock players treated him to a taste of what it is like playing week in week out in the League of Ireland as Rovers centre-half Pat Flynn sent the winger clattering to the floor after his first touches had sent him speeding past defenders in trademark style.

Left-back Marcelo came close for Real in the sixth minute, shooting from just outside the box with his right foot, forcing goalkeeper Barry Murphy to deflect the ball out for a corner.

Kaizer Chiefs vs Manchester City

John Terry needs to end his summer of silence and clarify whether his future lies with Chelsea or Manchester City.

While a succession of statements have come out of the Stamford Bridge club insisting their captain is not for sale, Terry's refusal to commit himself speaks volumes.

Everybody knows he is considering his future, and will be difficult for people to accept if he now comes out and pledges his loyalty to Chelsea.

It is a surprising state of affairs. We do not know what has gone on behind the scenes but I do not think that Terry would move for money alone.

Chelsea have reportedly offered him £150,000-a-week while Manchester City will pay him £200,000-a-week. Of course it is a significant difference, but would Terry really notice an extra million pounds in the bank? What is he going to be able to buy that he cannot already afford?

He has reached a point where he is so wealthy he should have the freedom to play wherever he wants.

Maybe he just feels as though he needs a change of scenery and lifestyle. He has been at Chelsea for over a decade and is entering the final few years of his career. Sometimes people just feel like a new challenge.

Michael Owen was on the mark again as Manchester United wrapped up the Malaysian leg of their Far East tour with another comfortable 2-0 win over a Malaysia XI.

live streming Malaysia Manchester United

Well that's it! United win 2-0 with Macheda and Owen scoring early on in the first half. 93 United get a corner which surely must be the last chance of the game and the Malaysian defence head it clear but the ball goes back to Rooney who volleys and it is blocked. 89 Malaysia come close again! Strong half volley struck on the edge of the box which forced Kuszczak to perform an acrobatic save to keep it out. 88 Malaysia are looking to end on a high with a very dangerous low cross from the right which saw Kuszczak fully stretch and parry it away. 87 Malaysia have a chance to pull one back with a corner but the after some calm defending Ronney comfortably heads the ball back to Kuszczak. 85 It's Rooney's turn again to come close to a goal! He passed the ball to Gibson who found himself with much free space down the right who passed the ball back to him but the goalkeeper was quick to gather the ball. 83 Rooney performs what looks like a rugby tackle but the referee saw no problem with it. The Malaysian player is still feeling the effects and is on the ground in pain eventually being carried off on a stretcher. 80 Anderson comes so close! Neat work on the edge of the box found O'Shea free down the right who passed it to the Brazilian who shot first time and it went agonisingly close! 78 United are getting closer and closer to finding that third goal it only feels like a matter of time. But then again if Malaysia can hold on and pull one back we'll be in for a cracking last 10 minutes! 74 Scholes strikes one of his trademark 30 yard shots but it was blocked. Rooney then picked up the ball on the edge on the left hand side but it just went wide of the post. 73 Nani crosses from the right wing and Berbatov was free but he headed it straight at the goalkeeper. Again should have done better with that opportunity. 70 Gibson almost scores with his first touch after a nice one-two with Berbatov down the right saw Gibson free on the edge of the box but his shot was blocked and went out for a corner. Nani took the corner and Rooney headed wide when he really should have done better. 69 United make more changes: Anderson, Scholes and Gibson on for Fletcher, Giggs and Carrick. 68 Rooney almost scores with his first touch after a nice ball over the top from Ferdinand but it just went wide. 66 Wayne Rooney is coming on for Macheda and it seems Rooney is very popular with the Malaysian fans receiving a huge cheer. 65 Malaysian substitutions: Bakhtiar and Amar on for Amri and Umar. 62 Berbatov, Ferdinand, O'Shea and Nani come on for Owen, Evans, Neville and Tosic. 57 United bring on Evra to replace Fabio who had to be carried off on a stretcher. 56 Malaysia substitutions: Gurusamy on for Rahim and Muhymeen on for Kuanlan. 55 Macheda appeals for a penalty as he was bought down inside the box but the ball was cleanly taken. 55 Malaysia come close to a glorious opportunity to score! Neat work down the right hand side results in a nice pass back to the edge of the box and for some reason the player took a touch when he really should have shot first time. 52 United are slowly getting back into their groove passing the ball neatly acroos the pitch then almost sending Owen through but the goalkeeper was quick to rush out. 49 Malaysia have started brightly at the beginning of the second half with the majority of possession in the United half. 45 The second half begins and United have made only one change bringing on Thomas Kuszczak for Ben Foster. - Many of you are going for United wins. Traffic says 3-0, raraviin is going for 3-1, mehafizakmal 5-1, Bryant 4-0 and ghostfreak believes it will be 3-0 to United. - So what do you think the final score will be? let us know! - Well that brings an end to the first half with United 2-0 ahead. 45 How odd! Malaysia are preparing a substitution to come on when there is less than 1 minute of the first half remaining!? 45 Two minutes added for stoppage time. 44 Who said they're missing Ronaldo!? First Owen then Macheda slipped the ball through Malaysian legs resulting in Macheda having his shot blocked. 42 Malaysia threaten the United goal but they are unable to find a way through 39 The match is being played at a very slow pace at the moment. Hopefully it'll pick up towards the end of the first half like it did the last time these two sides met when Amri scored when Malaysia were 2-0 down... 35 Game stopped for a few minutes due to an injured Malaysian player. We're back up and running again..... 32 so close to 3-0! Tosic with a great cross from the left and Owen just glided the ball towards the goal only to see it come off the post... 27' Tosic invokes memories of Ronaldo with a few stepovers, but the Malaysian right-back isn't fooled and United's move forward breaks down soon enough. 26' Nothing comes of the free-kick though... 25' Yahyah breaks foward now and Tosic is forced to bring him down... free-kick to the hosts... 24' The Malaysians have done well over the past five minutes and are beginning to enjoy a bit of possession. 23' Just as an aside, Ben Foster is sporting an all-white shirt with a red flash zipping across it. That must be a first for a goalkeeping top. Frankly, it looks weird. 20' Terrific run now by Giggs, as the Welshman dances past two challenges... he's eventually stopped by the third, but good intent nevertheless! 19' Owen's caught offside as he latches onto a long ball forward... he's hungry tonight. 17' United are looking classy at the moment. Their passing is fluent and the Malaysians are struggling to get out of their own half. 16' Owen rises to meet a cross with his forehead, but it glances wide of the mark! 15' The Malaysians have made a change at right-back. Thirumurugon, who was actually on the starting team sheet, has come on to replace someone who had apparently started instead of him. 14' Had Owen cost United anything, he would already be paying some of his transfer fee back. Is Michael Owen any good? 13' GOAL! OWEN TAKES HIS UNITED TALLY TO TWO GOALS IN TWO GAMES! It stems from a Tosic cross which causes confusion in the Malaysia box as Macheda stabs at it... Owen is on hand to fire home from close range in typical fashion as the ball falls kindly to him! 11' GOAL! MACHEDA OPENS THE SCORING! It's a simple tap in for the Italian after some unselfish work from Fletcher, who squared the ball from the far side after the ball ricocheted off Macheda to him! One-nil! 9' Tosic leaps like a salmon to win a header... he takes a hefty shoulder charge in the process and wins a free-kick. Credit to him, he gets back up without any fuss. 7' Giggs lifts it to the edge of the box, where Carrick takes it on with a first time volley! But it's way over the bar from the United midfielder and Marlias isn't troubled. 6' Fabio forces a corner now for United, their first of the game. Giggs will take it with his left peg... 5' Another United cross into the box is this time dealt with by keeper Marlias, who hits the deck in theatrical fashion while claiming the ball. 4' Yahyah brings the already excited crowd to its feet as he threatens to burst forward, but there's no way through this time. 3' Macheda does well to feed the overlapping Neville on the United right... but the full-backs cross is too deep, even for the late arriving Tosic at the back stick. 2' Malaysia in blue shirts and white shorts today. United are in their new home kit. 1' Here we go! Underway at the Bukit Jalil Stadium! - We're just having a minute's silence following the terrorist attacks in Jakarta on Friday... - Here's the Malaysia XI's starting XI: Marlias, Thirumurugon, Zofuan, Zamani, Putra, Kumalan, Rahim, Umar, Yayyah, Amri, Indra - The Malaysians have made three changes to the side which fell 3-2 in Saturday's game. - Here's how United line up: Foster, Neville, Evans, Brown, Fabio, Fletcher, Carrick, Giggs, Tosic, Macheda, Owen - Youngsters Zoran Tosic and Federico Macheda also start, with Ben Foster keeping goal. - Manchester United take on a Malaysia XI for the second time in three days, with Michael Owen handed the chance to start for the first time. 13' GOAL! OWEN TAKES HIS UNITED TALLY TO TWO GOALS IN TWO GAMES! It stems from a Tosic cross which causes confusion in the Malaysia box as Macheda stabs at it... Owen is on hand to fire home from close range in typical fashion as the ball falls kindly to him! 11' GOAL! MACHEDA OPENS THE SCORING! It's a simple tap in for the Italian after some unselfish work from Fletcher, who squared the ball from the far side after the ball ricocheted off Macheda to him! One-nil!

After the recent terror attacks in Jakarta which forced Manchester United to cancel their trip to Indonesia as part of their Far East tour it remained to be seen what effect these events had actually had on the players.

However, Rooney got United off to a flying start in the ninth minute after some terrible defending by Malaysia. An undemanding cross from the right hand side somehow evaded the entire Malaysian defence and Dimitar Berbatov's shot forced a save that was parried into the path of Rooney to finish.

Twenty minutes later it was 2-0 when Portuguese winger Nani coolly slotted the ball home after a similar error by the Malaysian back line, this time from the left hand side.

As the first half was drawing to a close, Malaysian playmaker Amri scored a magnificent lob over Edwin van der Sar, who was standing some 10 yards off his line, to give the home crowd a lift going into the break.

Hull boss Phil Brown is planning to meet Fulham striker Bobby Zamora on Tuesday to discuss a potential £5million move to the KC Stadium.

The Tigers have been given permission to speak to the former Tottenham and West Ham forward after their club record-equalling bid was accepted last week.

Brown is anxious to bring in more firepower after seeing previous moves for Michael Owen, Fraizer Campbell, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Daryl Murphy fall by the wayside this summer, and said: "I'm hopefully speaking with Bobby Zamora to discuss personal terms and show him around what could be his new home."

Another forward linked with a move to the KC Stadium is Liverpool's Andriy Voronin but Brown has played down the speculation.

Ukraine international Voronin could be made available after spending last season on loan at Hertha Berlin.

"We have not made any contact with Liverpool with regards to Andriy Voronin," said Brown.

However, when asked if Voronin was a player that could interest him, he added: "Of course he would."

For vast swathes of the 86 overs bowled in the day, Pakistan's batsmen held sway, blunting a modest attack on a pitch that lost most of its moisture and bite after the opening session. But with stumps beckoning, the second new ball vindicated Kumar Sangakkara's decision to bowl first, with three wickets in the space of eight balls reducing Pakistan to 289 for 7. Pakistan's total total owed much to Khurram Manzoor and Mohammad Yousuf, who added 167 for the third wicket after Thilan Thushara had taken two wickets in an over to stymie a promising start. Both Manzoor and Yousuf were dismissed in the 90s, and it was left to Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq to shepherd the side through to the close. They nearly managed to, until the new ball turned out to be the big bad wolf.

Malik, short of runs and form in the series, had struck some pleasing strokes on his way to 45, and the partnership with Misbah was worth 75 when Thushara arced one into his pads from outside off stump. Malik missed, and that was that. Three balls later, Misbah lunged to drive Nuwan Kulasekara, and the thin inside edge was neatly taken by Tillakaratne Dilshan behind the stumps. When Umar Gul then chopped one back on to his stumps, the reversal of fortune was complete.

It may have been the last bow for Chaminda Vaas, a veteran of 111 Tests with 354 wickets to his name, but apart from that Thushara over in mid-morning, there was little for Sri Lanka to celebrate after they sent Pakistan in to bat under overcast Colombo skies. Fawad Alam, with a century on debut last week, had just struck his first four of the innings, when he edged one behind to Dilshan, and if Thushara was delighted with that, he was positively delirious three balls later. Younis Khan cut one back on to his stumps, and 34 for 0 had become 36 for 2.

As Yousuf walked out, wagers were probably placed on how quickly Rangana Herath would be brought on. As it was, Sangakkara waited till the 17th over before throwing the ball to Sri Lanka's surprise spin weapon of the series, but the impact wasn't what was desired. The first-session damage would have been greater than 103 runs but for a sluggish outfield that didn't give the batsmen full value for their strokes.

In his last Test at the home of cricket, Andrew Flintoff broke England's 75-year Lord's curse with his first five-wicket haul since the Ashes-clinching Oval Test of 2005. It was, unquestionably, a performance that will enhance his already mythical status within English cricket, but more pertinently for now, delivered England to a 1-0 series lead heading into Edgbaston.
Victory was sealed 17 minutes before lunch when Graeme Swann, another major contributor on Monday, pegged back Mitchell Johnson's middle stump with the Australian total at 406. The wicket prompted scenes of jubilation not witnessed at Lord's in decades, and a collective furrowing of brows in the Australian dressing rooms as the series momentum shifted sharply in the hosts' favour.
Flintoff, who bowled unchanged for ten overs from the Pavilion End to claim three of the five Australian wickets to fall on Monday, broke first from England's celebratory huddle to shake the hands of the vanquished Johnson and his batting partner, Ben Hilfenhaus. It was a scene that mirrored the final act of the corresponding Test four years ago, and envoked a spirit of cricket that had been bruised over the previous four days.

Hauritz and Siddle combined for a 44-run ninth wicket stand - the second-highest partnership of the Australian innings - before the former flashed at Onions' third delivery of the day and was caught by Collingwood at third slip for 24. Hauritz had displayed immense courage to that point, batting with a dislocated finger on his right hand which was clearly causing him discomfort. On many occasions, Hauritz withdrew his hand from the bat shortly after making contact, but held firm for 47 balls and 67 minutes.
Siddle and Hilfenhaus took Australia within 10 runs of the follow-on target, before Siddle was dislodged by Onions for 35. Onions finished the innings with figures of 3 for 41 from 11 overs - including 2 for 9 on Saturday - and was far more effective than Stuart Broad, whose short-pitched strategy seldom threatened. In total, Australia added 59 runs for the loss of two wickets from 14 overs on the third morning.

England dominant with 521-run lead,online score updates

A methodical second-innings batting performance has England poised to end Australia's era of dominance at Lord's. Only inclement weather or a historic Australian fourth-innings effort can deny Andrew Strauss' men, who have amassed an authoritative 521-run lead after three days of the second Test.
No team has successfully chased more than 418 runs to win a Test match - the record at Lord's is 344 - although the South Africans demonstrated recently that survival at this ground is possible in desperate, late innings situations. Graeme Smith's side batted for almost 12 hours to reach 393 for 3 to save the first Test almost a year ago to the day, but whether Australia's batsmen are capable of holding out a driven and in-form England pace attack for six sessions remains to be seen.
Rain prompted a premature end to play on Saturday, and Australia will be hoping for more of the same over days four and five. Intermittent showers are predicted for Sunday and Monday, but they will presumably bring with them heavy overhead conditions which the likes of James Anderson and Graham Onions can exploit, as was the case on a rain-interrupted day two.
England, having declined to enforce the follow-on, advanced to 311 for 6 in their second innings, scoring their runs at a merry 4.35 an over and again taking a fancy to the out-of-sorts Mitchell Johnson. Kevin Pietersen (44 from 101 balls) and Paul Collingwood (54 from 80) denied the Australians any hope of a prompt end to the innings, and Matt Prior (61 from 42) compounded the tourists' misery with an innings that could scarcely have been more dashing had it taken place in the Twenty20 arena

James Anderson revealed a desire not to waste their 'get-out-of-jail' card was behind England's dominant display.
Anderson, whose defiant innings was a crucial ingredient of escaping Cardiff with a dramatic draw last Sunday evening, starred with both bat and ball as Australia closed the second day on 156 for eight, still 70 runs short of avoiding the follow-on at Lord's.
Anderson stars as Aussies struggle
The 26-year-old claimed four for 36, his best Ashes figures, after hitting an eye-catching 29 and sharing in a 47-run alliance for the 10th wicket with Graham Onions.
"Everyone wanted to start afresh here," said Anderson.
"We used the fact we got out of jail a little bit in Cardiff and are still in the series at 0-0. We knew we had to take advantage of that.
"We didn't want to waste getting a draw out of that game by coming here and not performing."
Although England lost three wickets in as many overs at the start of a rain-affected day, they were on top from then onwards

AUSTRALIA vs ENGLAND,Aus chases a risk

Australia were left needing to set a new world record if they were to win the second Test against England at Lord's.
England, when rain forced an early close on Saturday, the third day, were 311 for six, a lead of 521, with two days remaining.
Whether they declared on that total overnight, as seemed likely, or batted on, it meant Australia would have to set a new world record for the highest fourth innings total to win a Test, surpassing the 418 for seven made by the West Indies against Australia in Antigua in 2002/03.

Both totals were well in excess of the corresponding record for a Test at Lord's, the 344 for one made by the West Indies against England in 1984.
England, bidding for a first Test win over Australia at Lord's in 75 years, were indebted to a stand of 86 in 74 balls between Paul Collingwood (54) and wicket-keeper Matt Prior (60).
Their innings had stalled during the second session but Prior, who faced just 42 balls with nine fours, regained the initiative, and helped justify captain Andrew Strauss' decision not to enforce the follow-on, before he was run out by Marcus North's direct hit.
Collingwood, who'd batted for over six hours to help England secure a draw in last week's series opener in Cardiff, posted his third fifty in four innings in a brisk 72 balls.

The Windies, minus their star players due to strike action, lost the first of a two-Test series in Kingstown by 95 runs on Monday and managed precious little resistance on Friday en route to a disappointing total of 237.
But the hosts battled back on Saturday.
Imrul Kayes fell to Darren Sammy for 14 on Friday night and the wickets continued to tumble at regular intervals on Saturday

The day had started brightly for Bangladesh with Tamim appearing to be in a good frame of mind. He waited for full deliveries to drive and showed enough patience in defending or leaving the length balls outside off stump. It was a waiting game which he seemed to be winning before Bernard produced a fatal prod to a delivery that angled away. A short while before that, Enamul Haque jnr, the night-watchman, square drove and guided to third man for two boundaries before being strangled down the leg side. And when Junaid Siddique dragged a floater from Ryan Austin onto the stumps, Bangladesh were suddenly wobbling at 77 for 4. Soon, Ashraful fell and West Indies turned up the pressure.

A slack performance from Bangladesh's batsmen spoiled a decent start provided by Tamim Iqbal and left the visitors in trouble on 134 for 5 at lunch on the second day in Grenada.
It was a strange session of play. The bowling wasn't threatening enough to take four wickets but the batting wasn't disciplined either. West Indies were neither wayward nor brilliant. They didn't bowl a cluster of pressure-building deliveries and Bangladesh prospered initially. But with Tamim's exit, they grew less disciplined and started to play poorly.
Their sloppy performance was best captured by Mohammad Ashraful's dismissal. He had struggled in the first Test but here he started well. He did not attempt extravagant shots and seemed to be playing each ball on its merit. He had hit a fine square drive and an on-driven boundary before the customary lapse. It was a short and wide delivery from Ryan Hinds, the left-arm spinner, and Ashraful cut it tamely to point. It was similar to how David Bernard had fallen in West Indies' innings. Both teams' batsmen seem to be outdoing each other in their lack of commitment. Post Ashraful's exit, the bowling got tighter and Raqibul Hasan, who unlike in the first Test, played as close to the body as possible. Shakib Al Hasan batted carefully at the other end to ensure there wouldn't be any further damage

England vs Australia 2nd test Day 3 Live online

ndrew Strauss' side continued to dominate Australia after passing up the opportunity to enforce the follow-on and although their progress was checked in the afternoon, they progressed to 199 for four, an overall advantage of 409 runs.

Third-wicket duo Ravi Bopara and Kevin Pietersen ground out a 73-stand in 28 overs, battling against poor form and poor fitness respectively, before they departed in quick succession.

Bopara, dropped once and given the benefit of the doubt on another disputed catch, eventually turned straight to short leg for 27 to become Nathan Hauritz's third success.

And Pietersen (44) was caught behind off Peter Siddle for the second time in the contest, off an inside edge, jabbing at a ball which lifted.

England lost both openers after lunch as off-spinner Hauritz shook off the effects of dislocating a finger in his bowling hand on day one to dismiss captain Strauss and Alastair Cook in consecutive overs.

Cook (32) was pinned leg before, falling over, by a delivery which just gripped on the surface while Strauss (32) was undone by a big turner which flew off the edge to slip.

Earlier, Graham Onions claimed two for nine in three overs as Australia, who resumed overnight on 156 for eight, were dismissed for 215 inside one hour on the third morning.

Australia vs england, Cook and Strauss hurt wayward Australia

Mitchell Johnson arrived on these shores amid a blaze of publicity proclaiming him as the best paceman in international cricket. One Test and one session later, however, and Johnson can no longer count himself among the best quicks in the Australian team, much less the planet, following a morning in which he ceded the early initiative to England.
Johnson's figures of 0 for 53 from eight overs, including eleven boundaries, didn't quite relay the horror that was his first session in a Lord's Test. Whether overawed by the occasion, thrown by the ground's pronounced slope or just shy of form and confidence, Australia's spearhead appeared decidedly blunt in his exchanges with Andrew Strauss (47 not out) and Alastair Cook (67 not out), neither of whom were troubled in any way by the man who so tormented the South Africans three months ago.
Johnson's inaccuracy contrasted sharply with the disciplined lines of Tasmanian paceman Ben Hilfenhaus. He delivered three consecutive maidens to start proceedings, and may well have had Cook caught at second slip had Ricky Ponting been fractionally closer to the bat. But any pressure Hilfenhaus created at the Nursery End was promptly released in the shadows of the pavilion, as Johnson surrendered the first session ascendancy in one of his poorer opening spells in recent memory.

Ronaldo no prima donna

"He's as I expected him to be. He is the first to arrive at a training session, he has fully integrated into the squad, he doesn't act as a star," he said during his first post-training press conference as Real's new coach.

"He is a very talented but normal player who is devoted to Real Madrid. His image is very different to how he is as a player."

Real signed the player from Manchester United last month on a six-year deal worth around 94 million euros (£80 million) and he will reportedly be paid 13 million euros each season, making him the most expensive player in the world.

The 24-year-old was officially unveiled before some 75,000 ecstatic Real fans on July 6 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

He had to be hurried away when spectators leapt over security barriers to try to get an autograpah.

Real has spent over 200 million euros in the pre-season to sign new talent, including Brazilian playmaker Kaka and French international striker Karim Benzema.

Pellegrini said he hopes the squad will be completed by the end of the month.

"The sooner the better. July 27 would be good because that's when all our internationals return," he said when asked for an ideal date to have his squad finalised.

"But I'm not bothered about waiting a while longer if there are any doubts concerning a signing. There's no deadline. I know what I want, but I'm not looking to have it for our first pre-season match," he added.

Australia A to big win

Callum Ferguson guided Australia A to a comfortable eight-wicket win over Pakistan A to level the one-day series 1-1 in Brisbane. After being thrashed by 146 runs in the first match, the Australians began strongly in the second as their seamers restricted Pakistan to 188.

Only Mohammad Hafeez with 75 and Sarfraz Ahmed (45) offered any real resistance as Brett Geeves tied things down with 3 for 32 and Clint McKay, Doug Bollinger and Moises Henriques picked up two each. It was a strong performance by the hosts after losing the toss and they reached their target with more than 15 overs to spare.

David Warner (29) and Tim Paine (28) were the only wickets to fall, after they helped Australia to a quick start. Ferguson and Adam Voges then clicked into cruise control and sailed through the rest of the chase with relative ease.

Ferguson finished unbeaten on 72 from 78 deliveries and Voges launched a couple of sixes in his 49 not out. Ferguson said the tone had been set in the first ten overs of the day, when Australia's bowling and sharp fielding restricted their opponents, and then he was keen for some valuable time in the middle.

Australia vs Engaland 1st test Watch online

James Anderson and Monty Panesar produced the most important innings of their lives as England's final pair survived 11.3 overs to pull off a thrilling escape at Cardiff. When Paul Collingwood fell for a monumental 245-ball 74 England still trailed by six, but once Australia had to bat again, valuable time was taken out of the game leaving Andrew Strauss and a packed Cardiff nervously clock-watching. The Australians threw everything into the final hour in an electric atmosphere with the crowd cheering the two unlikely batting heroes as though the Ashes had been won.

A vital moment came when Anderson collected consecutive boundaries off Peter Siddle to finally erase the deficit. It meant that two further overs would be lost from the remaining allocation, but there was yet another twist. Australia had bowled their overs quickly during the final hour, which meant it came down to a clock-watch situation for the batsmen. The crucial mark was 6.40pm: at that point it meant there was no time for Australia to start a run chase.

Sri Lanka v Pakistan 2nd Test Live Streaming Day 2

Sri Lanka have never won a home series against Pakistan, but they took huge strides towards rectifying that statistic with an utterly dominant performance with ball and bat on the first day at the P Sara Oval. Pakistan were coming off an abject batting display in Galle, but they sunk even lower here, being bundled out for an embarrassing 90 after winning the toss. Sri Lanka's batsmen, led by captain Kumar Sangakkara, then gave them a batting lesson, easing to 164 for 3, already 74 in front.

The pitch at the P Sara Oval offered some assistance for the bowlers, with the ball doing a bit in the air and off the seam on the first morning, but by no means was batting as difficult as the Pakistan batsmen made it out to be. Sri Lanka's bowlers, though, made the most of the conditions: Nuwan Kulasekara, Thilan Thushara and Angelo Mathews pitched it in the corridor, got movement in the air and off the pitch, and that combination was far too lethal for Pakistan's diffident top order. Kulasekara was the pick of the lot, wrecking the top order and finishing with well-deserved figures of 4 for 21, while the rest offered excellent support.
