But wickets fell regularly after that, Sturge hitting six boundaries in her knock off 89 balls before she was sixth out to former Glamorgan loan player Poppy Tulloch (2-47).Porter tried to hold the lower order together with an unbeaten 34 off 35 balls, but Buckle and Johnson claimed a further two wickets apiece as Glamorgan were dismissed with five overs unused. Sussex opener Mollie Adams hit a quick 25 before Izzy Collis (25) and Wilkinson added to a solid platform with a stand of 55 for the second wicket.Glamorgan's change in tactics to field two seamers, Anna-Mae Shearn and Surrey teenager Charlotte Lambert, did not quite pay off despite two wickets for Lambert.Wilkinson struck six boundaries in her half-century before becoming the first victim for Porter as the Sharks faltered briefly at 143-5.Green and Johnson (27) got them in striking range with a stand of 68, but Porter had Green stumped by Freeborn for the first of three victims in quick succession.Tulloch and Buckle came together for the ninth wicket with 19 still needed, but the pair held their nerve and Buckle coolly ramped Lambert for four to seal the result.Glamorgan remain top of the table but have only a three-point lead over Middlesex, who have a game in hand despite losing to Kent, while Sussex are third, a point further behind after claiming their third win in five. The top four will contest the semi-finals in September with the final at Bristol.

Real Madrid 120m signing is practically a done dealLa Liga giants Real Madrid are on the verge of closing a deal for a big-money addition to the clubs attacking ranks.The player all set to take his talents to Spains capital for the 2026/27 campaign? RB Leipzigs Yan Diomand.Winger Diomand has of course dominated the headlines across Spain and beyond over the last couple of days. After word was forthcoming that the aforementioned Real Madrid had joined the hunt for the in-demand Ivorian, Los Blancos quickly overtook the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal in the Diomand sweepstakes.And if the latest word stemming from the media on Sunday is anything to go by, then the capital heavyweights now appear to be firmly ahead of chief competitors Paris Saint-Germain, too.As per a report from Real Madrid insider Jos Flix Daz, writing for Diario AS:At Valdebebas, one of the topsignings of the summeris practically a done deal. Minor issues and the exchange of documents that dont affect the heart of the matter, which isan agreement between Real Madrid and the German club for around 115-120 million.The transfer, it is added, could be made official as early as Monday, a development which would ensure that Diomand need not report for pre-season training with RB Leipzig.Conor Laird GSFN

New Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett spoke to reporters on Sunday, four days after the team opened training camp, and was asked about how the competition for the starting running back position was lining up.In doing so, Hackett seemingly downplayed first-round picks Jeremiyah Loves chances of winning the job while touting incumbent starter James Conner.I mean, hes definitely a rookie, Hackett said of Love, who was selected No. 3 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.#Cardinals OC Nathaniel Hacketton whether he sees the RB room as having a starter: Im really excited about it. Excited for James [Conner] to get out there and show what hes got. I mean, all the guys.on Jeremiyah Loves progression: I mean, hes definitely a rookie pic.twitter.com/YcVTBfkrMV The Coachspeak Index (@CoachspeakIndex) July 25, 2026Hackett appeared to voice more enthusiasm for watching Conner, who played in only three games before suffering a foot injury that required season-ending surgery. He finished with 95 yards and one touchdown on 32 carries.Excited for James to get out there and show what hes got, Hackett said before saying he was looking forward to seeing all the guys.Play Yahoo's new College Fantasy Football game: Create or join a league now!Cue Cardinals fans smacking their foreheads after Love was selected to provide the offense with a major boost in lieu of filling other needs on the roster including offensive line and pass rusher that could have been addressed with the No. 3 pick. However, many draft analysts and observers felt Love was the best offensive prospect in the 2026 class after he rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 TDs (with 280 receiving yards on 27 catches) in his final season at Notre Dame. JEREMIYAH LOVE GOES 98 YARDS FOR THE TOUCHDOWN pic.twitter.com/SSAjPnrRtt ESPN College Football (@ESPNCFB) December 21, 2024To be fair, Hackett may be attempting to manage expectations for the running back room in addition to fans. Cardinals coaches presumably dont want to just hand Love the starting job, but see him earn it. Consequently, they likely dont want Conner to feel that he has no chance at being the starter, especially coming back from injury. In five seasons with Arizona, Conner rushed for 3,763 yards and 38 TDs, averaging 4.4 yards per carry. He also tallied 1,262 yards receiving and 8 TDs on 165 catches. Conner, 31, reworked the final year of his contract in March to avoid the Cardinals releasing him to save salary cap room. Originally set to earn $6.4 million (with a $9.8 million cap hit), Conner is on the books for a $2.4 million base salary with a prorated portion of his signing bonus making for a $4.8 million cap hit in 2026.Arizona also signed free agent Tyler Allgeier to a two-year deal. Last year, Allgeier rushed for 514 yards for the Atlanta Falcons and compiled 3.392 yards (including a 1,00-yard rushing season in 2022) in four seasons. Hackett was hired by Arizona in February to run the offense for new head coach Mike LaFleur. Last year, he worked for the Green Bay Packers as an defensive analyst but has had stints as an OC with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Packers and New York Jets. Hackett was the head coach of the Denver Broncos for one season in 2022.

Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was close to leaving the Lanka Premier League (LPL) after he was left out of Kandy Royals' match against Colombo Capitals despite reportedly being told he would play as the team's 'Impact Player'.According to media reports, the franchise had informed Afridi before the match that he would be used as an Impact Player, a tactical substitution rule first introduced in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Under the rule, a nominated player can replace another player during the match and can bat or bowl their full quota of four overs, while the substituted player takes no further part in the game.However, after Kandy Royals chose to bat first, the team's coach reportedly told Afridi during the innings that his name had not been included on the official team sheet as the designated Impact Player because of an analyst's mistake.The development left Afridi surprised. He immediately reported the matter to an official from the tournament's Anti-Corruption Unit.Reports, including that of Pakistan's Geo News, said the left-arm pacer was upset after being left out without any explanation and was ready to leave the tournament and return to Pakistan.The matter was later brought to the notice of the match referee. Franchise officials and league organisers apologised to Afridi and convinced him to continue playing in the tournament instead of leaving.

While Duke is one of the most well-known schools when it comes to producing NBA talent, the university doesn't necessarily have a history of producing defensive stoppers. For that reason, only one former Blue Devil was featured on Bleacher Report's recent list, which ranked the 99 best defenders in NBA history.No. 58 Shane BattierA four-year Blue Devil, Battier averaged a whopping 2.1 steals and 2.3 blocks in his senior season at Duke, earning an NCAA championship. In the NBA, it was more of the same for Battier, who finished top-five in Defensive Player of the Year award voting three times throughout his career. Battier also made two All-Defensive second teams and was a vital defensive component in two NBA championships with the Miami Heat. At his NBA peak, the former Memphis Grizzlies forward averaged over one block and one steal per game and was even labeled as one of the toughest defenders to face by the late Kobe Bryant.This article originally appeared on Duke Wire: One Duke alum named among the best defenders in NBA history
