3 d. ago US Open tennis 2025: Jannik Sinner v Carlos Alcaraz, men’s singles final – live

Updates from the men’s final at Flushing MeadowsJannik Sinner v Carlos Alcaraz tennis latest | Email DanielMore from Bryan.An hour before Sunday’s US Open men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, the boardwalk from the Mets-Willets Point subway to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center was quiet, punctuated only by bursts of fans spilling out of the No 7 train every few minutes. Among them stood Emma Kaplan, a 33-year-old executive assistant from Brooklyn, distributing flyers that read “The Fall of the Trump Fascist Regime.” She was joined by three members of RefuseFascism.org, one hoisting a poster that declared “GAME, SET, MATCH! NOV 5, FLOOD DC. TRUMP MUST GO!”; another’s sign demanded the shutdown of ICE and “the whole Trump fascist regime.” As waves of spectators streamed past, a heavy security presence shadowed the scene – NYPD, Parks Department officers, Homeland Security agents and the Secret Service.

3 d. ago Jofra Archer stars as England power to record ODI win against South Africa

3rd ODI: England, 414-5, bt South Africa, 72, by 342 runsJacob Bethell and Joe Root score centuries to set up rout What even was this? What does any of it mean? In an extraordinary, bewildering, borderline nonsensical game, England romped to their fifth-highest total of all time before they skittled South Africa for their second-lowest to win by the largest margin in the history of the format – the teams divided in the end by 342 runs.For the home side this was every bit as ecstatic as the grizzly defeat in the series opener had been miserable, as centuries from Jacob Bethell – the very first of his career – and Joe Root – not his – helped England to post 414 for five, and were followed by a magnificent display with the ball from Jofra Archer as South Africa lost all nine wickets – their captain, Temba Bavuma, unable to bat because of a calf strain – for just 72.

3 d. ago England beat South Africa by 342 runs for biggest winning margin in men’s ODI history – as it happened

Jofra Archer, Joe Root and Jacob Bethell star for England as they inflict a record ODI win on South Africa in SouthamptonAn interesting chat between Nick Knight, Shaun Pollock and Mike Atherton. Athers says that England are trying to bring the ODI and Test teams together whilst treating the T20 side as a different entity. That’s sensible on paper, he says, but brings a “real challenge because of the amount and volume of Test cricket England play. They are going to have to be quite strong about where their players play franchise cricket.”South Africa: Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Temba Bavuma (capt),Matthew Breetzke, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Wiann Mulder, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Codi Yusuf, Nandre Burger.
