A dramatic third day saw 15 wickets fall, Bumrah claiming 6-33 as the tourists backed up their first-innings total of 443-7 declared by bowling out their opponents for just 151. The paceman’s career-best figures secured a massive 292-run lead and while India slipped to 54-5 after opting not to enforce the follow-on, they are undoubtedly in the ascendency. Bumrah admitted the sluggish nature of the MCG surface - only seven wickets fell across the first two days - made life tough, but the pace bowlers were aided by reverse swing, something he knows all about from back home....

I know kids who just watch TV every day. That’s OK for them, but it’s not enough for me. I like being busy and involved. When I was younger, I took piano, flute, dance and violin. I also played soccer, basketball and tennis. And I had Hebrew school and the Saturday classes at Northwestern. Now, at 17, I still have a very full week, which includes being president of the Model U....

Posted to Twitter by user @TedClaxton94 and spotted by NintendoLife, the video that spotted the 3DS-using concert-goer isn’t particularly long, but it gets the point across pretty well, showing a single hand holding an original blue 3DS out of the crowded pit. It doesn’t seem like the most convenient way to record concert footage, but because the method is so odd, it’s likely that this wasn’t the first time this person has used a DS to film something like this....

A win could take them back into the top six but anything less will probably mean they will go into next weekend outside of those coveted positions. Blackburn Rovers are just two points off the playoffs, so they have a lot to play for in this match. They are are on a run of seven games unbeaten but will need three points this week to break into the top six....

It will likely be a very long time before we learn any actual details about the in development title, but that’s not stopping fans from speculating already. The appearance of both Link and Zelda in that ominous cavern already has Zelda fans daydreaming about both characters being playable. In addition to all of the fan speculation, a few choice quotes from producer Eiji Aonuma can give fans some more to think about....

Twitter user HEYimHeroic, a self-proclaimed Mii expert who runs the Wii Facts Plus blog and the Mii Library documenting “every single Mii to ever exist within Nintendo’s games,” posted examples of characters they inserted into Breath of the Wild yesterday. They describe the in-game models as UMiis, an evolution of what can be found on the Wii U and 3DS, and answer fan questions in their Twitter thread while crediting others who helped with the conversion....

The midfielder hit the winning goal in a 2-1 victory for the Serie A champions on Tuesday but was reportedly subjected to chants of “zingaro”, which in English translates as “gypsy”. Bosnia-Herzegovina international Pjanic subsequently condemned “demented racists” in a post on Instagram about the incident. Serie A disciplinary chiefs stated in a bulletin on Friday that Brescia’s ‘Curva Nord’ section of their stadium would be closed for one home game; however, it added that the punishment has been suspended for a period of 12 months....

Mavi, who was part of the World Cup-winning U-19 team led by Prithvi Shaw, had impressed everyone with his performance. Now, he is part of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing Indian Premier League and has taken three wickets in seven games so far. “I think Mavi has got everything. His actions are beautiful and he packs himself as a fully furnished bowler. “With youngsters like Mavi, it’s extremely important to play with confidence, enjoying the spirit of the game,” Lee, a Star Sports Select Dugout expert, was quoted as saying in a media release....

Those racist, homophobic social-media messages were thoughtless mistakes he made as a teenager, Hader said. He sought to reassure fellow Brewers that the vile words didn’t represent the man he has become, one who has learned — in part because of baseball — to reject the language of bigotry. His teammates had his back on Friday. Fellow All-Stars Jesus Aguilar of Venezuela and Lorenzo Cain, who is African-American, were among those who stood directly behind Hader during a news conference about 90 minutes before the Brewers returned from the break by hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers....

After Notre Dame’s season-ending loss to USC on Saturday dropped the Fighting Irish’s record to 4-8, both Yahoo Sports and ESPN reported Kelly — through his representativeness — had reached out to other college football programs. He may also consider opportunities in the NFL, a source told ESPN. MORE: Eight questions facing the CFP committee But for what it’s worth, Kelly insists he’s staying put in South Bend. Notre Dame director of football media relations Michael Bertsch posted a Kelly statement on his Twitter at 3:37 a....

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Roger Federer reached his first Australian Open final in seven years on Thursday and then made it as clear as he politely could that he would welcome the chance to renew his epic rivalry with Rafa Nadal as he chases his 18th grand slam title. The 35-year-old Swiss came through an five-set battle with compatriot Stan Wawrinka to set up a final against Spaniard Nadal or Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, who meet in Friday’s second semi-final....

But midway through the journey, a man in coach stood up and headed toward the front of the plane. Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, seated in row 11, happened to glance up from her book to see the man striding toward the cockpit door. Suddenly, two undercover sky marshals in first class tackled the man, later identified as Raho Ortiz. Then, guns drawn, they flashed ID before asking other passengers to put their heads in their laps and their hands on their heads....

A fortnight ago and Roar’s ACL second round qualifier looked set to cause mayhem in the Queensland club’s schedule as they stuttered on the domestic front but back-to-back A-League wins has ensured Brisbane enter their clash with Global in a more positive frame of mind. Roar coach John Aloisi has confirmed he will make changes to his starting line-up for the continental qualifier but insisted on Monday that his team won’t lack quality as they “do everything possible to win the game”....

But it appears that NASCAR will need a bit of good fortune to get the Food City 500 started as scheduled at 1:13 p.m. ET Sunday.

The latest numbers show that Black Americans are 2.6 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than White Americans. Responding to such gross disparities, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was blunt. “There’s no way to sugarcoat it,” she said. The vast racial disparities in America’s COVID-19 numbers were simply “the manifestation of decades of neglect.” If anything, the pattern is worse in my country. The racial disparities in hospitalization and mortality in my country are so egregious that London’s Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has called for ethnic data on COVID-19 mortality rates to be released to the public....

Heavily modding games for better user experience became wildly popular especially during the Fallout 4 and Skyrim era, famous for its Thomas the Tank Engine mod that turns dragons into trains. While bending over the chopping block, instead of hearing the gracious roar of Alduin, Thomas the Tank Engine will crash land atop the watchtower with a booming toot toot of its whistle. Gamers particularly love editing the aesthetics of their games, and so does the live streamer known as PointCrow on YouTube, as he shows playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and it follows a similar vibe to the train mod....

Game of the Week New Orleans Saints at New England Patriots (Sunday, 4:25 p.m., FOX) . This road trip is a little different for Drew Brees. Brees, as both a Chargers and Saints quarterback, has never lost to Tom Brady’s Patriots. When the Saints won the Super Bowl in 2009, they ripped New England, 38-17, in Brees’ first 5-TD game in the NFL. While many teams fold in the face of Brady and Bill Belichick, there will be no fear or holding back from either Brees or Sean Payton....
