England will need to replace Ben Stokes’ persona as well as one of their “greatest” players as they move forward, says former captain Michael Vaughan. The announcement of Stokes’ surprise retirement came during the fourth day of the third and deciding Test against New Zealand, which will be his last. Stokes, 35, missed the second Test after an incident in a London nightclub, with England suffering a heavy defeat at The Oval, which Vaughan says gave a glimpse into the “hole” the all-rounder will be leaving in the side.”England have got to move forward now – it’s hard to say…

Ange Postecoglou is the early 5/2 favourite with William Hill to replace Steve Clarke as the next Scotland manager. Clarke stood down from his post following Scotland’s group-stage exit from this summer’s tournament, with ex-Celtic and Tottenham boss Postecoglou installed as the frontrunner to take on the vacancy. Scottish coach David Moyes, currently with Everton, and his fellow countryman and Millwall manager Alex Neil are both priced as 5/1 second favourites. It will be interesting to see if Scotland go for a native manager or if they look further afield for the next leader of the national team. One thing is for…
Jaron Ennis Prioritizes Undisputed Title Over Vergil Ortiz Fight Jaron “Boots” Ennis still wants to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr., but becoming the undisputed junior middleweight champion now comes first. Following Ennis’ seventh-round stoppage of Xander Zayas to unify the WBA and WBO titles, promoter Eddie Hearn said the championship path has become the priority. “We took that Vergil Ortiz fight,” Hearn said after the event. “He signed for that fight. We took it for no belt. We took it for the fans to prove he was the best.” Hearn then acknowledged that Ortiz’s position has changed now that Ennis owns…

Roy Jones Jr has urged Errol Spence Jr to adapt his approach, and rediscover elements of his amateur style, ahead of his comeback fight against Tim Tszyu. ‘The Truth’ has not fought since his undisputed encounter with Terence Crawford, back when he suffered a surprisingly one-sided ninth-round stoppage defeat in July 2023. As a result, Spence was relieved of his WBC, IBF and WBA welterweight titles before stepping away from the sport and giving no indication as to whether he would return. Now, though, the 36-year-old is gearing up to face fellow former world champion Tszyu, who will boast a…
The moment of triumph hung briefly in the balance for George Russell in claiming pole position for the Austrian Grand Prix, but with the British driver bullish and ebullient after what was a mighty lap under dramatic circumstances, for him at least, there was never any doubt.At the very sharp end of the final moments of qualifying, Russell was hurtling round the track after Max Verstappen when the Dutchman was too hot into turn nine, lost the rear and scythed across the gravel into the wall. In front of them, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton had finished their laps as…
In a breakthrough weekend forMcErlean, the only blemish for the 26-year-old and co-driver Eoin Treacy was a scare on the penultimate stage when he missed his braking point and lost 45 seconds as he recovered onto the road.Despite that putting him in the grasp of the chasing SamiPajari, Adrien Fourmaux and Evans, McErlean kept his composure to hold onto fourth place in the final stage.After a luckless start to the season, in which they had a best finish of eighth, McErlean far surpasses the trio of seventh-places from his debut WRC season last year.McErlean and Treacy didn’t luck into their…
