da spicy bet： Celtic are now ready to offer a major wage increase to one of their key men in a bid to convince them to sign a new contract in Scotland, it has been claimed.
Celtic unlikely candidates for Champions League qualification
da dobrowin： Following a 7-1 thrashing by Borussia Dortmund in their second Champions League outing of the season, Celtic looked rank outsiders to qualify for the knockout stages of the new-look Champions League.
However, the Scottish Premiership champions have turned it around since, drawing with Europa League champions Atalanta before pulling off a famous 3-1 win over German side RB Leipzig in their most recent outing.
Goals from Nicolas Kuhn and Reo Hatate helped the Bhoys come from a goal down in front of a raucous Celtic Park to claim all three points, and move to seven from four games.
Currently in one of the knockout qualification spots, Brendan Rodgers’ side face games against Club Brugge, Dinamo Zagreb, Young Boys and Aston Villa in their final four games, likely needing three wins from those to cement an automatic qualification spot and two for a spot in the knockout qualification round.
It continues what has been a strong start to the season domestically, with Celtic yet to lose this season and sitting joint top of the Scottish Premiership with Aberdeen, who they drew 2-2 with last month before thrashing them 6-0 in the Scottish League Cup. Now, there is more good news for the Bhoys.
Celtic make contract breakthrough
That comes as reports claim that Celtic have made a breakthrough in talks over a new contract for defender Alistair Johnston, which will see him pick up a hefty pay rise.
The defender, who Pat Nevin described as “spectacular” in their win over RB Leipzig, has become one of the first names on Rodgers’ teamsheet following his move in January 2023, and though he is under contract until 2027 as things stand, his form is set to be rewarded with a new deal in a bid to ward off potential interest from abroad.

As per the Daily Record, Celtic and the defender are “close to agreeing a new contract”, which “will hand the 26-year-old a significant increase in salary” as well as increasing the length of his stay. It is added that talks have advanced “significantly”, with Johnston’s agent having flown to Scotland to finalise the deal.

However, there is less good news for the contract of fellow defender Greg Taylor, who is set to become a free agent as things stand at the end of the campaign. Speaking earlier in the season, Rodgers revealed tying him down to a new contract was a “priority”, however the report adds that “there has been nothing agreed with the Scotland international”, which will likely be Celtic’s next focus.

Na avaliação do técnico Enderson Moreira, o Esquadrão de Aço foi melhor que o Furacão e merecia sorte melhor.
Sem a Copa do Brasil no calendário, o Esqudrão de Aço foca as atenções na Série B, onde está no G-4.
‘Acho que nosso time mereceu muito o resultado. Não só de um 1 a 0, mas nós tivemos chances de fazer dois ou três. Tivemos chances claras. Fico chateado, porque a gente merecia muito a classificação pelo jogo de hoje. Acho que fomos muito superiores, jogamos muito, criamos situações, controlamos o jogo. Acabamos sofrendo o gol de uma bola parada em que poderíamos estar um pouco mais concentrados. O último gol pouco representou o que a gente fez no jogo, precisávamos do resultado e saímos muito. Acho que controlamos uns 70% do jogo’, declarou.

da marjack bet： Celtic moved to three points clear of the Scottish Premiership table on Saturday after they secured an emphatic 4-1 victory over Hearts away from Parkhead.
da gbg bet： The Hoops took advantage of Aberdeen’s 2-1 defeat to St Mirren to go clear at the top after being level on points with the Dons for the entire season so far, but sitting above them on goal difference.
Brendan Rodgers’ side now have a gap between them and second and will be hoping to extend that in the coming weeks to provide them with a healthy cushion to potentially rotate the squad and rest players for other competitions.
The Scottish giants struggled at times in the first half against Hearts, however, as the home side pushed to score the opening goal and tested Kasper Schmeichel with a few early efforts.
Celtic’s Danish colossus was equal to everything, though, and that allowed the Hoops to push on in the second half and secure all three points, thanks to goals from Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn, and Adam Idah (x2).
It was a very impressive second half display and one that included a number of superb performances across the park from several players.
Celtic's top performers against Hearts
The man who opened the scoring, Kyogo, was a constant threat at the top end of the pitch with his movement in behind to create chances for himself.
He scored the first goal, rifling in after the ball dropped kindly to him, and had four shots on target in total, also missing two ‘big chances’, which shows that he was constantly testing Craig Gordon.
Cameron Carter-Vickers returned to the team at centre-back and produced a dominant display for the Hoops, as he won seven of his eight duels and made six clearances.
Kuhn, of course, was another player who excelled. As well as his thumping strike into the top corner, the German winger created one ‘big chance’ and completed all three of his attempted dribbles on the right flank, in another terrific showing in the Premiership.

As you can see in the table above, several other players also starred in various statistics, with Callum McGregor’s creativity and Auston Trusty’s defensive intelligence on show.
However, there were also some players for Celtic who struggled at times and did not showcase the best of their abilities in the win over Hearts on Saturday.
One Hoops whiz who did not give the best account of himself was central midfielder Reo Hatate, who started alongside the captain and Arne Engels.
Reo Hatate's performance against Hearts
The Japan international played the full 90 minutes of the 4-1 win and was unable to get in on the act with a goal or an assist to show for his efforts in the match.
He was involved, in part, in the third goal from Idah. It was his failed attempt to dribbled past a defender that, fortunately, allowed Paulo Bernardo to slip the Ireland international through on goal on the edge of the box.
The 27-year-old did, however, create one ‘big chance’ in that match and was not rewarded with an assist, which suggests that he was unfortunate not to record a goal involvement.
His work out of possession left a lot to be desired, though, as the central midfielder lost five of his six ground duels and both of his aerial contests, which shows that the Hearts players found it far too easy to get the better of him in physical battles.

As you can see in the table above, creating high-quality opportunities for his teammates and not being rewarded with assists has become a theme for the midfielder, who has lost the majority of his duels in the division.
Hatate, despite being dominated by the Hearts players in his individual battles, was not the worst performer on the pitch for the Hoops, though, as Arne Engles was even worse in the middle of the park.
Why Rodgers must drop Arne Engels
The summer signing from Augsburg, who played twice for Belgium during the international break, has struggled for form in recent matches for the Hoops.
Chalkboard
Football FanCast's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
Rodgers must, now, finally bin the Belgian youngster from the starting XI to take him away from the spotlight and allow him to rest and come back with the motivation to win his place in the team back.
The 21-year-old lightweight started the 2-0 win over Kilmarnock before the break and struggled in that game, with one duel won and zero chances created in 63 minutes on the pitch.
Engels needed to bounce back with an improved display against Hearts from the start and was unable to do so, as the former Bundesliga starlet failed to impress for the second match running.
Meanwhile, Paulo Bernardo came off the bench and won 100% (2/2) of his duels, created a ‘big chance’, and provided an assist against the Jam Tarts.

As you can see in the table above, Engels offered very little to the team in and out of possession throughout the game, with zero chances created and zero tackles and interceptions.
He was also a lightweight in midfield, losing 86% of his duels, and these statistics show that it is time for Rodgers to drop him down to the bench for the clash with Club Brugge on Wednesday night, as he was easily beaten by defenders in battles and did little to help the team in the final third.
Hatate was, at least, able to create a ‘big chance’ for the team and was partially involved in Idah’s goal, and that is why Engels should be dropped ahead of the Japanese gem, with Bernardo given a chance to impress from the start after his strong cameo.

O vídeo, que circulou nas redes sociais, foi feito por um dos torcedores palmeirenses que estiveram no estádio para acompanhar o time vencer por 3 a 0 e encaminhar a vaga para as quartas de final do torneio continental. No entanto, eles tiveram de presenciar mais um episódio de racismo, como é possível ver no vídeo acima.
Na última terça-feira, na Neo Química Arena, outras cenas lamentáveis foram registradas por parte de torcedores do Boca Juniors, que cometeram desde injúrias raciais com imitações de macacos, quanto apologia ao nazismo em direção aos torcedores do Corinthians. A partida terminou 0 a 0 e a volta será em Buenos Aires.
Logo após o duelo desta quarta-feira, o Palmeiras emitiu nota oficial em suas redes sociais repudiando os atos de racismos pelos quais os torcedores do clube foram vítimas em Assunção. O Verdão pediu que as autoridades tomem as providências para que o crime seja evitado.
Confira, na íntegra, o comunicado publicado pelo Alviverde:
“A Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras vem novamente a público repudiar as manifestações racistas praticadas contra a nossa torcida em um jogo da Libertadores.
Não podemos aceitar que cenas como essas se tornem rotineiras durante a disputa do mais importante torneio de clubes da América do Sul.
Esperamos que as autoridades tomem as providências necessárias para coibir esse crime. É hora de darmos um basta à discriminação!”

وكتب ميدو عبر حسابه الرسمي على منصة “إكس”: “قررت مقاطعة شركة اتصالات، وأرجو من جمهور الزمالك العظيم مقاطعة هذه الشركة المليئة بالأحقاد تجاه نادي الزمالك العظيم. بطلب من كل الزمالكاوية تغيير نمرتهم، وأنا أول واحد هغير نمرتي. أنا رقمي اتصالات ومن بكره هغير نمرتي”.

وجاءت تصريحات ميدو بعد ساعات من بث الشركة إعلانًا دعائيًا خاصًا بالنادي الأهلي، تضمن بعض المشاهد والعبارات التي اعتبرها جمهور الزمالك مسيئة أو تحمل رسائل ضمنية تقلل من قيمة ناديهم، مما أشعل حالة من الجدل على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي.

يُذكر أن الشركة ذاتها ترعى النادي الأهلي منذ فترة، وقد أطلقت الحملة الإعلانية الجديدة بالتزامن مع نهاية الموسم الكروي، ما زاد من حساسية التوقيت وردود الأفعال، خاصة في ظل المنافسة التقليدية والحساسة بين القطبين الأهلي والزمالك.

Manchester Originals take their defence of 120 to the wire in low-scoring thriller
Vithushan Ehantharajah03-Sep-2022
Lewis Gregory leaps in triumph after sealing the men’s Hundred final•Getty Images
Trent Rockets 121 for 8 (Malan 19, Little 2-18) beat Manchester Originals 120 for 9 (Turner 26, Cook 4-18) by two wicketsOne of the many criticisms of the 2022 edition of the men’s Hundred was the lack of close finishes. The kind which build legends and tear down legacies, or even simply give mortals a taste of nectar or soul-crushing agony. Now, in the 32nd and final game, we had it.Trent Rockets won the Hundred, and to work out how would require starting right at the end. A chase of 121 which always felt on the verge of going off the rails had somehow stayed upright until the final five deliveries, with a seemingly unlikely 11 required for victory. Lewis Gregory, captain of the Rockets, Somerset till he dies, England once in a while, found them within three.A miraculous flat six over square leg from a near-perfect leg-stump yorker was the surprise knife into the side of Manchester Originals. The four flicked around the corner from a next-ball full toss, then the single to take Rockets over the line, simply twisted it.As Gregory roared like a man finally being allowed to exorcise the tension he had managed so well up to that point, Richard Gleeson fell to his knees, eyes red from the pain of knowing he was most to blame. More so through having the courage and trust to deliver that final set. His second ball could have been better, but the first was more or less exactly what he wanted. It didn’t matter what the third was.Having been there at the end of Lancashire’s last-ball defeat in the Vitality Blast final against Hampshire, this was another demoralising moment for Gleeson – at the end of an otherwise breakthrough summer in which he’s made his England debut and earned a role as a designated reserve for the T20 World Cup. One crumb of comfort was how quickly he rose to his feet to congratulate the victors. The 34-year-old is no stranger to returning from adversity.How we got to this finish will remain a mystery, because nothing about how the match’s previous 195 deliveries suggested anything close to a high drama, high-quality finale. There was ebb and flow, which isn’t exactly what this format is supposed to be about. The scores and balls go up, then they come down, while the broadcasters assure you this is the best thing ever. By the end, they weren’t even hamming it up.Everyone got what they wanted at the toss. Manchester Originals chose to bat first, which suited Trent Rockets who were going to bowl. Midway through the fifth set, with Originals reeling on 22 for three – captain Laurie Evans, wily fox Wayne Madsen and soon-to-be England’s T20 starting opener Phil Salt all seen off in the space of 23 balls – it looked like one team had it very wrong.Sam Cook made the initial breakthroughs•Getty Images
Perhaps cues should have been taken from the women’s game. Oval Invincibles played a tacky pitch better than Southern Brave, in part because they could plan a route to their target of 102 rather than thrash around blindly on a pitch that wasn’t conducive to an engaging spectacle. By CricViz’s metrics, this was the toughest surface for batting in the Hundred this season.It was made that little harder by Sam Cook and Samit Patel, whose variants of seam and spin claimed four for 18 and three for 23 respectively. Cook’s were split evenly between the first 20 and final 20 deliveries. Evans was trapped lbw and Madsen bowled, before he returned at the death to remove Tom Lammonby with a leg-stump yorker and then castle Gleeson.Patel’s work, however, kept an explosive middle-order under wraps. Tristan Stubbs was undone by a bit of bounce – a top-edged sweep to fine leg taken superbly by wicketkeeper Tom Moores as he tracked the ball towards fine leg. The long levers of Walter came and went, as a leading edge found a sprawling Dawid Malan at cover to leave Patel on a hat-trick.The third did not come immediately, but it was perhaps the most valuable of the lot. Ashton Turner, Originals’ replacement for Andre Russell, was finding more joy than any of his team-mates, even striking Patel into the stands at midwicket for the only six of the innings. An attempt to repeat the shot against the 37-year-old found Cook in the deep. Nevertheless, the Australian’s jolt of adrenaline was enough for the tail to sneak to 120.Even with the deck as it was, the expectation was of a comfortable Rockets win, given a line-up packed full of international experience. However, their three T20I centurions all underwhelmed: Alex Hales clubbed Little to cover, Malan (19) gifted Stubbs a leading edge into the covers off Walter, and Colin Munro (16) gave Parkinson the last laugh with a catch at long-off after striking him for back-to-back fours.Patel offered little with the bat. He was struck on the head by a Walter short ball and then fell for just nine from 13 to leave a testing yet achievable 36 from 26. By the final 15, just after Moores had become Walter’s second, there were 24 required which became 15 from 13 when a scampered three was followed by a Daniel Sams heave to leg off Tom Hartley that was carried over the boundary by Lammonby.Related

It's not only about the cricket as Lord's lays on a Tuesday-night party
Laurie Evans powers Originals into Hundred final with 34-ball 72
Tall Paul Walter, the Hundred everyman, rises above the noise
Another go at clearing that region went too straight and into Stubbs’ mitts at long-on, the first of two wickets for four runs in the eight balls that led to Gleeson’s fateful final five.The journey to that point had been long and winding, beginning at the start of August and featuring a Friday-night detour to the Ageas Bowl for Manchester Originals to earn the right to be here. And now, thanks to two wickets each for Little, Walter, Hartley and Parkinson, they were on the verge of doing it the hard way. Now they’ll have to start from the beginning and do it all again.As for the Rockets, this was no less than they deserved. They have set the standard in the men’s competition, right down to leaning on Nottinghamshire’s fashioning of Trent Bridge into one of the best short-form venue experiences in the world. For the longest time, the ground and the county have set a high standard for white ball cricket. Now they have another trophy to show for it, after a match that served a timely reminder that, no matter the format, cricket always wins.
da bet7： A venda do volante Fausto Vera ao Corinthians foi oficializada na última segunda-feira (25) pelo Argentinos Juniors, clube que o atleta defendia.
continua após a publicidade
da heads bet： +Vera é o próximo! Relembre argentinos que já passaram pelo Timão
O Timão ainda não realizou o anúncio oficial. O valor, tempo de contrato e moldes da transação ainda não foram informados, até aqui.
Segundo apurado pelo LANCE!, a operação custou ao Time do Povo 6,5 milhões de dólares (R$ 34,9 mi, na cotação atual), podendo chegar a 8 milhões de dólares (R$ 43 mi) com bônus e premiações. O vínculo terá duração até o fim de 2026.
A equipe argentina receberá 4,5 milhões de dólares (R$ 24,1 mi, cotação atual) de forma parcelada. Os juros e encargos, além de comissão aos intermediários do negócio, custarão 2 milhões de dólares (R$ 10,7 mi).
No comunicado de venda, o Argentinos Juniors confirmou que repassará 70% dos direitos jogadores ao Corinthians, mantendo 30%.
+Veja datas e horários dos jogos da Copa do Brasil
NEGOCIAÇÃO PELO VALOR
Mas para chegar a esses números, a diretoria corintiana precisou de paciência na negociação, que durou cerca de duas semanas.
Inicialmente, o Corinthians ofereceu 7 milhões de dólares (R$ 37 mi, na cotação atual) na operação total, que já seria parcelada. O Argentinos Juniors receberia R$ 4 milhões de dólares (R$ 21,4 mi).
O clube portenho, no entanto, não gostou do preço. A ideia era ter em mãos 6,5 milhões de dólares (R$ 34,8 mi). E foi nesse ponto que as tratativas se intensificaram, como uma espécie de pechincha do Timão.
A possibilidade de bonificação por meta de jogos e títulos conquistados surgiu no decorrer das tratativas e agradou a diretoria do Argentinos Juniors.
A aposta nesse modelo de negócio foi para compensar a ausência financeira que o Corinthians tinha para pagar um valor tão alto no estágio inicial da negociação.
Além do parcelamento da quantia total, a ideia de bonificar também é de compensar o pagamento ao Argentinos Juniors durante a passagem de Vera pelo time do Parque São Jorge. Isso porque, no compasso que o Timão vai vencendo e se classificando em competições ele recebe premiações.
Para finalizar a negociação houve até mesmo uma conversa olho a olho entre os membros da direção corintiana e Cristian Malaspina, presidente do Argentinos Juniors, que veio ao Brasil no último fim de semana para selar o negócio.
Nesse momento, a situação já estava bem encaminhada, tanto que o advogado da equipe argentina também viajou.
CONCORRÊNCIA EUROPEIA E APOIO DE EMPRESÁRIOS
Em meio a negociação do Corinthians com o Argentinos Juniors, o Genk, da Bélgica, também procurou a equipe portenha por Fausto Vera.
Financeiramente, a proposta dos belgas não foi muito diferente ao que o Timão ofereceu inicialmente pelo volante. No entanto, a parte corintiana tinha como trunfo as tratativas com os representantes do jogador.
A ideia do estafe de Vera foi o potencial de vitrine do Corinthians para o mercado central da Europa, principalmente com o clube alvinegro estando nas quartas de final da Copa Libertadores da América.
Já no Genk, ainda que o meio-campista cumprisse o objetivo de chegar ao Velho Continente, ele atuaria em um mercado fora do grande centro e sem muita visibilidade.
MONITORAMENTO
Vera foi bem qualificado pela comissão técnica, que, desde a lesão de Paulinho, visava um atleta para a função. O camisa 15 rompeu o ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho esquerdo e não atuará mais nesta temporada.
Para chegar à contratação, o Corinthians contou com a ajuda dos representantes de Vera na América do Sul. Pessoas ligadas a Kristian Bereit, que é agente do meia, estiveram no Brasil e entraram em contato com o Timão.
O jogador, que inicialmente foi oferecido pelo Time do Povo, passou por um processo de monitoramento e agradou o clube.
A situação foi parecida com a do chileno Erick Pulgar, que teve o seu nome levado ao Corinthians por pessoas de fora, foi avaliado positivamente, mas não teve a negociação concluída por conta de uma acusação de violência sexual contra uma mulher, no Chile.
Outras equipes brasileiras chegaram a monitorar Fausto Vera, mas o Corinthians foi o único que avançou às negociações e, por fim, fechou com o jogador.
India’s captain says his bowlers struggled to protect the short square boundaries in Adelaide
ESPNcricinfo staff10-Nov-20223:43
Moody’s advice to India – Set a brand of cricket, then pick players accordingly
India just didn’t turn up with the ball. This was Rohit Sharma’s immediate diagnosis after their ten-wicket defeat in the T20 World Cup semi-final against England in Adelaide. Chasing 169, England romped home with 24 balls left to play, as Alex Hales and Jos Buttler dominated India’s bowlers from start to finish.”I thought we still batted pretty well at the back end to get to that score, but we weren’t good enough with the ball,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation. “It was definitely not a wicket where a team could come and chase down [that target] in 16-17 overs. But yeah, these things happen. Like I said, with the ball we just didn’t turn up today.”Buttler set the tone for England in the first three balls, threading Bhuvneshwar for a pair of fours past the diving point fielder. It was the start of a bowling effort where India struggled to prevent England from accessing the short square boundaries at Adelaide Oval.Related

Tacky pitch and old habits haunt India in semi-final flop show
Dravid: Difficult to let Indian players play overseas T20 leagues
Moody: India were 'very conservative and lacked intent' in the first half of their innings
India scored only 100 runs in their first 15 overs, before Hardik Pandya’s late fireworks powered them to a competitive total. In those first 15 overs, India only scored 64 runs square of the wicket (backward point, covers, forward square leg and backward square leg as per ESPNcricinfo’s ball-by-ball logs) from 46 balls. England, in their first 15 overs, smashed 98 off 54 balls square of the wicket.This could have meant either that India’s top-order batters failed to maximise the short square boundaries, or that India’s bowlers didn’t bowl the right lines and lengths, or both. Rohit suggested that the bowlers offered England too much width.”I thought when Bhuvi bowled his first over, it swung a little but not from the right areas,” Rohit said, when asked whether there was less swing than normal for Bhuvneshwar and Arshdeep Singh with the new ball. “We wanted to keep it tight, not give room, we looked at Adelaide pretty well, we know where the runs are scored. Square of the wicket is what we were quite aware of, and that’s where all the runs went today. Keeping it tight is something we spoke of but from there if the batsman plays a good shot we’ll take it. But that is something that didn’t happen today and that is a little disappointing.”This defeat meant India had lost the World Cup semi-final each of the last four times they had reached that stage – the 2015 and 2019 ODI World Cups and the 2016 T20 World Cup before this one. Rohit said India’s players had the experience to handle the pressure of a knockout game, but were “a little nervy” nonetheless on this occasion.”When it comes to the knockout stages, it’s about handling that pressure,” he said. “It depends on individuals as well. You can’t really go and teach how to handle pressure. All these guys have played enough cricket to understand that. Yeah, I mean, look, lot of these guys when they come out and play in the playoffs in the IPL and all of that, it’s a high-pressure game, some of these guys are able to handle that. When it comes to the knockout stages, it’s all about handling that pressure. Holding yourself a little bit and keeping calm. I thought the way we started off with the ball was not ideal. That shows we were a little nervy to start off with the ball, but again we’ve got to give credit to those openers as well, they played really well.”

England’s men have reinforced their bowling stocks with Jamie Overton ahead of the third LV= Insurance Test against New ZealandOverton, 28, has been one of Surrey’s stand-out performers in their unbeaten start to the season, clocking the kind of speeds that would make him the quickest on show if he were to debut at Headingley next Thursday. The chances of his inclusion in the XI seem quite high given England took an insurmountable 2-0 lead in the series after victory at Trent Bridge and the need to manage the workload of what has been an unchanged pace trio of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Matthew Potts.Like his brother Craig – who has also been retained in the 14-man squad – Jamie has been long touted for international honours since the England age-groups. Despite being a frequent flyer on pace programmes, Lions tours and in various squads, the first being a call-up in 2015 for an ODI series against New Zealand, he has yet to be capped for his country.That looks set to change, in part due to a realisation of potential that has seen him take 21 Division One wickets for Surrey in the LV= Insurance County Championship, at a miserly average of 21.61. He has also featured in all seven of the club’s Vitality Blast matches where he has contributed handsomely with the bat, averaging 27 at an emphatic strike rate of 209. Though not an allrounder , such handiness would be welcome in what has been a lengthy English tail.Primarily, though, he will bring some much-needed speed at a time when the likes of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Olly Stone are sidelined with injury. Over the last few seasons, he has often been cited as one of the more hostile quicks on the domestic circuit, which was reinforced in his previous appearance against his former county Somerset when he felled brother Craig and Josh Davey. Craig was able to return but Davey was subsequently ruled out of the match. Overton went on to take five wickets in the match as Surrey secured a final-day win by three wickets.He will join the rest of the squad who are due to report to Headingley on Tuesday afternoon as England look to rubber-stamp what has been a blockbuster start to new life under Brendon McCullum, led by Ben Stokes. The pair will run the rule over Overton in training before deciding on which of Anderson, Broad or Potts will be rested, if at all. The trio have taken 30 New Zealand wickets between them, with 39-year-old Anderson, the leader of the pack, in front with 11. Broad, meanwhile, has got through the greater amount of work with 85 overs across the first two Tests. Only Trent Boult, with 87.2, has sent down more this series.The only other change to the squad that reported to Trent Bridge is the omission of the legspinner, Matt Parkinson, who debuted at Lord’s as a concussion substitute for Jack Leach, but has been deemed surplus to requirements for Headingley, following Leach’s return to the side for the second Test. Harry Brook, the Yorkshire batter who was an unused squad member for the first two matches, also remains with the squad.England squad for 3rd Test Ben Stokes (capt), James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley, Ben Foakes (wk), Jack Leach, Alex Lees, Craig Overton, Jamie Overton, Matthew Potts, Ollie Pope, Joe Root
