The new sets are inspired by two of the biggest video game releases coming this holiday season, with faces laser-etched with series-specific graphics. For Black Ops 2, a stylish black skull, and for Halo 4, the UNSC Spartan IV insignia. The aesthetic of both speaks for itself in the screenshots, as the level of detail continues to impress. For Halo fans with plenty of time on their hands, the Forerunner runes on the sticks themselves may be worth a bit of attention....

The France international went down off the ball in the eighth minute and immediately appeared to be in agony, holding his heel and beating the turf with his fist. It was quickly decided to withdraw him and he was helped on to a stretcher before being carried off and replaced by Calum Chambers, with Atletico players – including international team-mate Antoine Griezmann – among the concerned onlookers. Koscielny would have expected to be in the World Cup squad for France, whose campaign begins against Australia on June 16....

The Bundesliga champions have made no secret of their desire to bring the 23-year-old to the Allianz Arena after he appeared to fall out of favour at the Etihad Stadium towards the end of last season. Although City’s reported £90million asking price is said to have initially put Bayern off, Kovac recently suggested an agreement could soon be reached, saying: “I am very confident. I assume we can get it [done]....

Chasing a modest total of 125, Mayank, in excellent form of late, made a punishing unbeaten 69 (47b, 2x6, 5x4) and in the company of Vinay Kumar (40; 37b, 1x6, 4x4) put the Panthers on the road to victory. That came soon enough, in the 17th over and at the expense of just two wickets. Earlier, Namma Shivamogga, opting to bat first, were dealt an early blow when opener Sadiq Kirmani taking his chances very early in the innings holed out in only the second over bowled by HS Sharath....

A 35-minute interlude owing to rains at the start of the Tuskers’ chase of Panthers’ 138 played its part in the outcome of the match. It speeded up the sluggish pitch and made stroke-making relatively easier. The experienced Verma latched on to this and hammered a quickfire 30 (14b, 3x6, 1x4) to stun the opponents. The target had been revised to 129 from 18 overs and Verma’s cameo came in handy....

RUMOURS: Everton to swap Barkley Barkley, 23, has long been touted as England’s next Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard, having come through Everton’s youth academy, and has been linked with a move to Tottenham. However, Koeman is desperate to see more from Barkley, who was lucky not to be sent off for a rash challenge on Jordan Henderson in his side’s Merseyside derby loss on Monday. “First of all I don’t like to say because every word I say about Ross is used by the media in a negative or positive way,” the Dutchman told UK newspapers....

India, who started the day at 87 for one, lost Cheteshwar Pujara early (23). However, Dhawan and Kohli led India’s charge and left them requiring with 227 runs for an unlikely victory. Though, it wasn’t all plain sailing for the Indian batsmen. Pujara fell victim to Tim Southee’s out-swinger to give the hosts the early initiative. He poked at one too many deliveries outside the off-stump and finally managed to edge one to wicketkeeper B....

India began day five in Kolkata on 171-1 after Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul’s impressive resistance on Sunday, but Kohli’s men were still in survival mode with Suranga Lakmal particularly in fine form. The skipper scrapped to an 80-ball fifty, with partners around him regularly falling, but Sri Lanka’s decision to take the new ball backfired as Kohli raced to a hundred, brought up with a six, before declaring 230 runs in the lead with 40 overs to bowl the tourists out....

The unseeded Konta, now coached by Dimitri Zavialoff after parting with Michael Joyce, capitalised on a rusty display from the 2017 US Open champion to march into round two. Konta will face Ajla Tomljanovic after breaking twice in each set, with Stephens winning just 52 points on her first serve in her first match on Pat Rafter Arena in five years....

The Stewards believe that Bianchi, who was on an out lap, could have safely let past Di Resta in Q1, but he didn’t do so. “The driver of car 22 was given a radio warning of the approach of car 14 (on a fast lap) but decided to stay on line to start his own flying lap. The stewards consider that car 22 could have safely allowed car 14 to pass before starting his flying lap....
