Daily Sports news Stories – England Cricket, SPL Football and Formula One

Saturday was jam packed full of sports news and well begin with the action from day 3 at Lords. England had finished day 2 with the upper hand after finishing the day on 474-8 declared and had to carry on this form with their bowling. In day 3 England continued their dominance with their bowling attack with the much criticised Stuart Broad the pick of the bowlers. Broad has been much criticised by the press this summer because of his lack of wickets but his 4 wickets justified his selection.

Broad took the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar who departed on 34 who will still be looking for his 100th century in cricket when India come out for their second Innings. India were bowled out for 286 which Raul Dravid the pick of their batters with an unbeaten 103 and has now passed Ricky Ponting to become the second highest run scorer in Test Cricket.

England who finished day 3 on 5-0 and now hold a lead 193 and their plan will be to build a big lead in order to put themselves in a winning position. England will then look to bowl the tourists out again in order to take the lead in the series.

Moving away from cricket news and onto some football news and Rangers didn’t start the defence of their SPL title with a 1-1 draw at Ibrox against Hearts. Hearts took a 16th minute lead  when David Obua Headed in a danny Grainger corner. Rangers equaliser came 13 minutes into the second half when Steven Naismith nodded in a Sasa Papac cross from inside the box.
