The former World Press Photo of the Year winner on why capturing a good image remains instinctive in the age of mobile photography‘Scrambling to catch this shot felt like 3D chess,” says photographer Mike Wells. “My eyes were balancing Connemara’s famous mountains, its wild ponies and the stone walls, while my mind computed the variables: the rush to catch the last rays of evening sun, that moment when a sea breeze lifts the ponies’ manes, and whichever way they will amble next.”In 1981, Wells won the World Press Photo of the Year for an image shot in Uganda depicting a malnourished boy’s hand resting in the palm of a Catholic priest. “When I was working in the 1970s and 80s, unless you could afford a motor drive for your camera, you often got just one chance at the critical shot,” Wells says. “You could never tell whether you really had captured the moment until you got back from Africa, or at least out of the darkroom.

50 h. ago Archer and Bumrah make batters sweat as England and India toil on day two at Lord’s

Third Test, day two: England 387; India 145-3Archer takes wicket with third ball of comebackThe over rate was glacial and the heat oppressive yet every spectator at Lord’s was still transfixed. Nothing stirs the senses quite like high-quality pace bowling and here that old saying held true, be it the latest five-wicket display of Jasprit Bumrah’s utter mastery or Jofra Archer striking third ball on his Test comeback.Archer first, and a moment that will live long in the memory for both the player and his supporters in the stands. As India closed on 145 for three in reply to England’s 387 all out, his figures read one for 22 from 10 overs.

Italian world No 1 triumphs 6-3, 6-3, 6-4Djokovic called for trainer at end of second setWhen Novak Djokovic strode on to Centre Court for a second contest with Jannik Sinner in barely over a month, the narrative had long been set. This was surely one of the 24-time grand slam champion’s last chances for a potential major victory, a challenge that will only become more difficult as he ages even further away from his physical peak while Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz move closer to their own.For the ensuing two hours on court, Sinner made it clear just how punishing that challenge already is as he completely dismantled a weakened Djokovic, the sixth seed, with his nuclear weight of shot and unimpeachable defence as he reached the Wimbledon final for the first time in his career with a dominant 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 win.
