Bangladesh swept the series 2-0, with the second Test wrapping up Sunday inside three days as the Tigers recorded their first-ever victory by an innings margin. The Caribbean visitors made just 111 runs in their first innings – the lowest Test score ever recorded against their hosts – to become the first side Bangladesh has ever asked to follow-on. Walsh, a Jamaican cricketing giant who took 519 Test wickets for the West Indies, today acts as fast-bowling coach for Bangladesh, and said the thumping was bittersweet....

While somewhat controversial, the practice of recording the public areas of restrooms, such as the sinks or entrance, is legal in the U.K. However, the establishment or institution must have a legitimate reason for doing so. The bar’s management, however, stands by their practice, telling Newsweek that the CCTV cameras are part of their effort to “create the safest venue [they] possibly could.” Noted the U.K. government’s Surveillance Camera Code of Practice in 2013: “Deploying surveillance camera systems in public places where there is a particularly high expectation of privacy, such as toilets or changing rooms, should only be done to address a particularly serious problem that cannot be addressed by less intrusive means....

Obama immediately drew some attention for his ensemble, a dad-style quarter-zip that complemented the Mannings. And what do quarter-zips while watching football mean? It’s officially Fall! While Obama vowed to be the president for everybody during his eight years in office, he made no bones about who he was rooting for during ‘Monday Night Football.’. President Obama referred to the Bears in the “we” sense multiple times, talking about their future and what it’s going to take to get them back in contention....

“As companies all over do what they can during these uncertain times, we are doing our part,” said Mattel president and COO Richard Dickson in a LinkedIn post. “Our design and development teams in El Segundo, CA and East Aurora, NY, are producing face masks from Barbie and Fisher-Price fabric to help meet the significant demand for these supplies.” Company creatives are also working on other protective apparatus for medical staff, revealed Dickson....

The 22-year-old midfielder is currently starring for Spain at the European U21 Championship. Cerezo: Saul won’t leave Atletico He is one of the more experienced performers at that competition, having made close to 150 appearances for Atletico – including plenty of Champions League outings. Considered to be one of the most promising players in European football, the admiring glances being shot in his direction come as no surprise. Saul has sought to play down the rumours suggesting a summer move could be on the cards, but did tell reporters while away in Poland: “I am happy at Atletico and I feel valued but everyone would like to earn a bit more money to be able to help out the family....

‘Messi has pulverised all expectations’ Bellerin is Barca’s top target for the right-back role in 2017-18, but the Catalans are unwilling to pay in excess of €50 million for a defender and may turn their attentions to Cuadrado instead. The Colombian international is reluctant to play as a defender and has said he hopes to stay at Juventus this summer, but the Bianconeri may sell for a fee in the region of €30m and that could suit Barca....

The latest in the saga of the tug-of-war between Barcelona and Brazil over Neymar continues, as the Catalan club are loathe to release a player who has already played 40 games for the club across 4 competitions, in addition to his national team duties. Neymar would ideally be due a rest this summer, but with the Copa Americao Centenario, scheduled from 4th to 27th June, being immediately followed by the Summer Olympics in Rio from 5th to 21st August, Barcelona face the prospect of an overworked and fatigued Neymar next season....

Unsettled forward Bale was on the verge of a move to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning last month, but the proposed deal collapsed. Bale did not feature in Madrid’s last pre-season friendly – a 5-3 win over Fenerbahce on July 31 – having been left out of their squad for the Audi Cup due to illness. The 30-year-old was spotted golfing, however, while Madrid were in action against his former club Tottenham a day earlier....

In case you didn’t know… All Ballon d’Or speculation came to an end on Monday night when it was announced that Croatia and Los Blancos midfielder Luka Modric had won the award.

In case you didn’t know…. Virgil van Dijk has enjoyed the best season of his career as the giant defender played a huge role in Liverpool’s Champions League glory. The Dutch international was rewarded with the Man of the Match award in the final after helping Liverpool to keep a clean sheet and kept Harry Kane quite for throughout the 90 minutes. Although, when asked about to reflect on this year’s Ballon d’Or favourites after the final at Madrid, the defender backed Lionel Messi for the most prestigious individual award....

Modric claimed the coveted individual honour at a ceremony in Paris on Monday – ending the domination of Juventus superstar Ronaldo and Barcelona sensation Messi, who had split the past 10 awards. After becoming the first Croatian to win the Ballon d’Or, Modric quickly pledged his future to three-time reigning Champions League holders Madrid amid links with Serie A side Inter. Modric, who attracted interest from Inter at the start of the season, said: “I have two years left and hopefully one more....

Sometimes these infections resolve on their own, and medications are typically attempted as treatment first; however, if these don’t resolve the issue, this procedure may be indicated in select patients. Unlike many other surgeries, balloon sinuplasty doesn’t require any incisions. Basically, it relies on the use of a special balloon that’s inserted into the problem area and is inflated to essentially open up the drainage pathway or outflow tract of the sinuses....

The state’s GOP ultimately backed Kristina Karamo for secretary of state and Matt DePerno for attorney general—two candidates who have denied the results of the 2020 presidential election and have earned the endorsement of Trump during the convention in Grand Rapids.

Nice striker Balotelli came under fire for his performance in their Nations League opener against Poland on Friday, where the Azzurri were held 1-1.

The Proteas moved into a commanding position on Saturday as they opened up a 294-run lead, reaching 238-5 in their second innings after finishing off the tourists for 255. But it is the Bancroft incident that provided the biggest talking point. The Australia opener, who hit 77 on Friday, was seen to rub the ball with a foreign object, which he then returned to his pocket before dropping it down the front of his trousers....

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) hasn’t rescheduled the tour as of now. All that is known is the fact that the T20 World Cup is on the head and that’s what the team needs to prepare for. He said, “It is necessary for us to prepare for the Asia Cup T20 and the World T20 which are two important tournaments, many of our T20 players aren’t in the T20 squad so if we play Test cricket at that time, they won’t be able to prepare....
