England batter Jacob Bethell had previously not appeared for RCB in this year's IPL [Reuters]Indian Premier League, BengaluruGujarat Titans 205-3 (20 overs): Sudharsan 100 (58), Gill 32 (24)Royal Challengers Bengaluru 206-5 (18.5 overs): Kohli 81 (44), Padikkal 55 (27)Royal Challengers won by five wicketsScorecard. TableJacob Bethell made his first appearance in this season's Indian Premier League but it was team-mate Virat Kohli who starred for Royal Challengers Bengaluru as they defeated Gujarat Titans by five wickets to go second in the table. England's Bethell was brought in as a forced change, after an injury to compatriot Phil Salt, and introduced as an impact substitute as RCB looked to chase down Gujarat's205-3 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The 22-year-old, whose participation in the IPL was defended by Kevin Pietersen amid criticism from Sir Alastair Cook over a lack of playing time, opened the batting alongside Kohli and struck three boundaries before falling to Mohammed Siraj for 14 from 10 balls.Kohli himself was dropped by Washington Sundar on zero and made Gujarat pay with a superb 81 to ensure Sai Sudharsan's century was in vain. With support from Devdutt Padikkal, who hit 55 from 27 balls, Kohli kept the home side firmly in the chase.When Kohli finally fell to Jason Holder, they needed just 52 runs from 38 balls and Krunal Pandya's 12-ball 23 took them home with seven balls to spare. Earlier, Sudharsan had scored a sublime 100 from 58 balls as he became the fastest player to reach 2,000 runs in the IPL - doing so in just 47 matches.Shubman Gill provided support as they reached 128 without loss in the 13th over before the Gujarat captain was dismissed by Suyash Sharma for 32 from 24 balls. But Gujarat's inability to accelerate in the second half of their innings proved costly again, leaving them seventh in the table with three wins from seven matches.Meanwhile, RCB are second with a fifth win from seven games and sit one point behind leaders Punjab Kings, who have a game in hand.IPL 2026 points table and top run-scorers & wicket-takersIPL 2026 schedule - fixtures and resultsHow the IPL is reshaping India's talent mapNotifications, social media and more with BBC Sport

Friday night brings a trio of Game 3s: 76ers vs. Celtics, Rockets vs. Lakers and Blazers vs. Spurs

Were back on the boxing beat this weekend, doing our best not to skip ahead to whats waiting just around the corner.And its a struggle for good reason.Its not often that a doubleheader of delicious domestic duels land on the boxing calendar, with Naoya Inoue vs. Junto Nakatani and Gilberto Zurdo Ramirez vs. David Benavidez arriving like two London buses at the beginning of May.That being said theres still enough to whet the appetite as we wave goodbye to April, including the return of a heavyweight made infamous for literally failing to keep his wig on.So, lets dig a little deeper into what this weekend has to offer in the world of boxing.1. Miller looks to capitalize on viral toupee mishapIt wouldnt be far-fetched to suggest that two of the biggest reasons a casual boxing fan may have heard Jarrell Big Baby Millers name are for reasons outside of his boxing performances.Just when the Brooklyn fighter looked like he may have moved on from the criticism for failing at least four major drugs tests, his toupee decided to fly off of his head in his most recent heavyweight duel in which he beat Kingsley Ibeh over 10 rounds via split decision in February leading to the 37-year-old becoming a viral sensation.Yep, that guy.Ishika Samant via Getty ImagesNow my mother, my mailman and even my dentist who am I kidding, Im British! knows the name Jarrell Miller, and the 300-pound-plus heavyweight is looking to cash in on this notoriety, fast.Matchroom and DAZN are willing to oblige, giving Miller an unexpected headlining slot inside the Fontainebleau, Las Vegas, this Saturday night, challenging unbeaten Cuban southpaw Lenier Pero in a show aptly named Hair Raiser. Noticeably missing a hyphen, but let's not get into semantics.A convincing win over Pero would go a long way to convincing those in attendance that Miller is more than a novelty act in boxing. And who knows Anthony Joshua is looking for a comeback opponent in July, and with Miller back working with Matchroom, the chapter that began in 2019 could very well circle back around in 2026.2. Bank is on the super middleweight marchIs Jacob Bank one of the best-kept secrets in boxing? Its hard to tell.The 25-year-old Danish super middleweight has strung together an unbeaten record of 18-0 (10 KOs) since turning pro in 2020 and is slowly chalking up recognized names on his ledger.His past two wins have come over Tyron Zeuge and William Scull, both via stoppage and both in front of good crowds in his native Kolding, Denmark, where hes been based throughout the entirety of his career to date.Were back in Kolding this Saturday night as Bank takes on Namibias Paulinus Ndjolonimu a fight many are regarding as his last before moving up to challenge for world honors.Hamzah Sheeraz is the name the Dane is gunning for.They took my title opportunity away when the WBO chose him to fight [Alem] Begic, who was ranked below me, Bank explained to the media during fight week."So, if Sheeraz is a real man, we'll make that fight happen in the fall. Whether it's in Denmark, England or Saudi Arabia doesn't matter to me I'll win in all three countries."3. Subkhankulov and Usmonov meet in lightweight title eliminatorSomebodys 0 has to go in Russia on Friday night, as unbeaten lightweight contenders Artur Subkhankulov and Bakhodur Usmonov square off in an IBF world title eliminator.The winner of this fight set for Ufa, Russia will jump up the queue at 135 pounds, with IBF king Raymond Muratalla waiting to make the first defense of the crown he won outright against Andy Cruz back in January.Subkhankulov and Usmonov have amassed 23 wins between them since turning pro in 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are both on the verge of breaking into the wider public consciousness in a weight class that is brimming with lucrative matchups.Southpaw Subkhankulov has fought solely in his home nation of Russia, and now brings the 28-year-old Usmonov to the famous intimate Wrestling Palace, which holds close to 3,500 spectators.4. Skyes the limit at super bantamweightIts main event time Down Under for Skye Nicolson, as the fledgling super bantamweight headlines a card for the first time in her career against Mariah Turner next Wednesday.Nicolson made the decision to drop down to the 122-pound division after losing her WBC featherweight title to Tiara Brown last March, but is convinced shes on the right path to becoming a two-weight world champion in fresh waters.Skye Nicolson is back next Wednesday.Alex Livesey via Getty ImagesThe 30-year-old southpaw is on a three-fight win streak, two coming via stoppages, and now has the chance to retain the interim WBC super bantamweight title against her compatriot, Turner.Turner arrives in Melbourne after winning all five of her fights in 2025 and is determined not to play the opponent in a card centered around the homecoming of Nicolson.A win for Nicolson will put her in line to face the undisputed queen of the division, Ellie Scotney.5. The fallout from cancelled Paris showBoxer fails drugs test so what?Its an all too familiar tale in this sport, and Lawrence Okolie is the latest to fall foul of a doping test in the run-up to his heavyweight fight against Tony Yoka.Well, how about the dozens of fighters who were scheduled to fight on Saturday nights card in Paris, whove already funded their training camps and are now out of pocket and, essentially, out of work?Yoka has expressed his anger in the cancellation of this fight, insisting that Queensberry throw him into a fight on the Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois undercard, but its not all about the Frenchman."Before anyone starts imagining the worst, following my bicep injury last year, I sustained an elbow injury on the same arm during this camp," Okolie said in a statement posted on social media."I had a treatment on it and now we are here. I truly hope sense prevails.As the saying goes: You are innocent until proven guilty. But in boxing its usually better to cite: There is no smoke without fire.

NASCAR leadership has started to inform industry personnel that Jim France is stepping down from his CEO role but will remain as chairman as the majority owner of the racing business. NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell will be promoted to CEO, while executive vice president Ben Kennedy France's great nephew will be promoted to Chief Operating Officer. An official announcement is expected this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway France, 81, has been chairman and CEO since 2018 after his nephew, Brian France, resigned from the role. France is the brother of Bill France Jr., who guided the sport founded by their father in 1948 from 1979-2000. The moves this weekend don't appear to be sparked by any one factor other than the natural progression and elevation of Kennedy. France and his niece, Lesa France Kennedy, have for decades overseen and through their trusts have co-owned NASCAR, which has had its challenges since its peak in the late 2000s. The latest challenge was an antitrust lawsuit brought by two race teams, including 23XI Racing, co-owned by basketball icon Michael Jordan. The two sides settled in December after eight days of trial, a trial that did not portray NASCAR and its executives in the best light. France was there throughout the trial and stood outside the courthouse with Jordan in announcing the settlement. France, who shunned the spotlight and politely declined almost all interview requests to talk about the sport, spent time on the witness stand at trial talking about his love of racing. He has owned race teams and dabbled as a driver himself. "When I talk about racers, I think that it's in your blood and ... it's something that you really have a passion for," France testified. NASCAR operates stock-car racing series and it owns about half the tracks on the Cup circuit. It also owns IMSA, the primary road-racing series in the United States and a series where France still owns a race team. Lesa France Kennedys son, Ben, has long been considered to be the next in line to take over the sport. He most recently was the Executive Vice President and Chief Venue and Racing Innovation Officer. Primarily, Kennedy handles the schedule and oversees competition projects. His new role is the next step in the ladder as far as his executive status and responsibilities. Lesa France Kennedy has primarily worked on the track side of the familys NASCAR operation, for a long time, serving as chairman of International Speedway Corp. a publicly traded company that operated race tracks. The France family, through NASCARs purchase of ISC stock, took the company private in 2019. Jim France had a tight bond with many of NASCARs long-time team owners. But his unwillingness to make their charters (NASCARs version of a franchise) permanent and not tied to the length of NASCARs television deal, frustrated many team leaders. The settlement in the lawsuit put a structure in place to make the charters more evergreen, which should increase their worth.
