At lunch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, West Indies had reached nine without loss. Bangladesh’s pitiful performance was also the second shortest first innings in the 141-year history of Test cricket. At 18.4 overs, it was just one ball longer than Australia’s dismissal for 60 off 18.3 overs by England at Nottingham in 2015. Put in to bat on the greenest surface seen in the ten years of Test cricket at the venue, the Bangladeshis were no match for the quality of the West Indies fast bowling....

The program first selected 53 out-of-state resident applicants, including one from Germany, to live in Morgantown, a northern college town. The move to attract more workers follows the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 report that revealed West Virginia lost more residents over the past 10 years than all 49 other states. The $12,000 offer to move to Lewisburg, where roughly 4,000 live in the state’s southeast, is accompanied by other incentives for a package worth over $20,000, including annual passes to activities such as whitewater rafting and horseback riding for selected applicants....

And then, just like that, the Batman disappeared and two guys named Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade put on a performance for the ages. Oh, and somebody called Super Mario contorted his way to nine game-changing fourth quarter points on an array of layups and jumpers. This wasn’t in the script. But we really should have seen this coming. Should have seen it coming after the careless Wade turnover late Game 3....

Anatoly Antonov, a former deputy defense minister who has been the Russian envoy to Washington since 2017, told the Izvestia newspaper that “criminals” and “mercenaries” had joined the fight against Moscow’s forces since Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine began on February 24. Antonov said: “No one hides this in the West, a huge number of mercenaries and criminals of various stripes have accumulated on Ukrainian territory.” He added that they were “using the current situation as a kind of safari” and that they were “hunting for Russian lives....

When the WFI announced the contracts, both Sakshi and Sushil were given grade B contracts. However, rectifying the error, an announcement to upgrade their contracts was made by WFI President Brijbhushan Sharan Singh at the launch of Tata Motors Elite Wrestlers Development Programme here. “With your support, we implemented the grading system for the players A, B, C, D, E and F grades. “However, during the national championships at Gonda when our full body (organisation members) was present, we realised that players like Sushil (Kumar), a two-time Olympic medallist, and Sakshi Malik, who gave the country the first medal when India’s medal tally (at the Rio Olympics was empty)....

For an independent studio with just over 100 employees, it seems Kojima Productions has a lot on its plate. Expecting it to churn out multiple games in close proximity seems a bit absurd though, despite Kojima suggesting they are working on several smaller projects alongside its next big AAA title - which could very likely be a Death Stranding sequel.

Arsenal squandered a 2-0 lead at West Ham United to draw 3-3 – a result that left the Gunners 10 points behind leaders Leicester City with six matches remaining. Leicester could go 13 clear of third-placed Arsenal if they win at Sunderland on Sunday and while Wenger said there was still hope, securing a top-four place now seems the priority. “Third in the league with 59 points. That is not where we want to be but we have made it much more difficult for ourselves now to have a chance to win the Premier League,” the Frenchman told reporters....

Team News West Bromwich Albion The likes of Nicolas Anelka and Scott Sinclair, who both missed out on a return to Chelsea last weekend, should be back in contention. Boaz Myhill skipped the international break with Wales but should be available for Monday night, with Ben Foster nearing a return to put the former Villa graduate’s place under pressure. With no fresh injury concerns West Brom may well field the same XI that were unlucky not to pick up all three points at Stamford Bridge last time out....

Being frugal is not just a virtue at Bush’s White House, it’s the rule. Under the administration’s ethics code, no employee can accept a gift worth more than $20. Technically, that includes dinner. While some staffers aren’t sticklers about letting a reporter buy them a meal, press secretary Ari Fleischer has a strict interpretation of the no-gifts rule. Reporters who have tried to wine and dine him are often surprised when he whips out his wallet at the end of the meal to pay his share....

But the goalies locked in after that, not allowing a goal for 33 minutes until Antoine Vermette scored with 14:23 remaining in the second overtime to give Chicago a 5-4 victory and even the best-of-seven series at two games apiece.

A former Youth Council president of the NAACP, Law had already organized a series of boycotts beginning in 1960, which ended in the desegregation of Savannah’s public accommodations.
