Dhoni said the combination of three pacers and two Dhoni said the combination of three pacers and two spinners was working well for India. “I think playing three pacers is working well for us. Both Ashwin and Jadeja are doing well and if they concede a bit of runs, they can make it up with the bat. They can contribute with the bat and that gives depth in our batting,” he said. Yuvraj said that he “felt pretty good” to have made a contribution to the teams win. “I needed those hits for my confidence. Not the easiest wicket to bat on, you need to go there and give yourself some time. My job was to go and play the situation, this game and the last game. Just happy Im hitting the ball well,” he said. Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews rued that his side were 20-25 runs short while batting first today. “With the dew coming in, I felt like we were 20-25 runs short. But the Indians batted well, as always, and Virat was outstanding,” Mathews said. “If the wicket was like the previous one, it would have been a fighting total, but the dew came in and the ball started sliding through. We are depending heavily on our seniors, with the side we have. The seniors need to fire, otherwise were in trouble.” PTI PDS PDS

Either Tottenham Hotspur or Watford will have the chance to go level when the two teams meet at Vicarage Road on Sunday.The home team dominated a dour first half at Stamford Bridge but it was Bournemouth who missed the best chances through Callum Wilson and former Chelsea defender Nathan Ake before Pedro broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute.The Spaniard beat visiting keeper Asmir Begovic with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area after a fine one-two with Olivier Giroud and Hazard sealed the contest in the closing stages with an arrowed shot from eight metres.LEICESTER 1 – 2 LIVERPOOLThe Reds remain unbeaten. #LEILIV pic.twitter.com/X5MA3FQcwWLiverpool FC (@LFC) September 1, 2018Liverpool beat Leicester City 2-1 to post a fourth successive Premier League victory but conceded their first goal of the season after a nightmare mistake by new keeper Alisson at the King Power Stadium.With Liverpool two goals up and cruising, the Brazilian failed to clear his lines and was robbed by Kelechi Iheanacho, who centred for Algerian Rachid Ghezzal to grab a goal back and set up a frenetic finish.Both Liverpool goals came before the break with Sadio Mane bagging his fourth goal of the season and Roberto Firmino heading home from a James Milner corner.advertisementThe visitors started the second half sloppily and, with Leicester threatening to grab another goal, a concerned Juergen Klopp brought on Xherdan Shaqiri for last season’s record scorer Mo Salah. His changes worked and the visitors held on to confirm their best start to a season since 1990.EVERTON 1 – 1 HUDDERSFIELDStrong performance away @ Everton ..

Beijing, Nov 10 (IANS) Chinese tech giant Huawei is working on its next “Kirin 990″ chipset with the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) which is likely to be unveiled in the first quarter of 2019, the media reported.The processor would feature the second-generation 7nm process and is likely to debut as the first 5G-ready chip from the company.”Industry chain sources claim that the Huawei has already started working on the Kirin 990 SoC. The cost of testing the Kirin 990 chipset is very expensive. Each test requires an investment of around 200 million Yuan,” Gizmo China reported on Friday.The processor is expected to arrive with “Balong 5000 5G” modem.”The more advanced fabrication technology that will be used to manufacture the Kirin 990 offers 20 per cent increased transistor density, 10 per cent reduced power consumption, and 10 per cent improved overall performance compared to the chipsets built using the first-generation 7nm chipset from TSMC,” The Android Headlines reported.The tech giant launched its Kirin 980 chip at IFA in Berlin in August that powers its flagship devices. The chipset is scheduled to debut in the Indian market in the fourth quarter of this year.Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu had confirmed that the first smartphone to be powered by the Kirin 980 chipset will be from Mate 20 series which is to be launched in London on October 16. Kirin 980 is the “world’s first” SoC to sport a modem that supports LTE Category 21 which supports a downlink of 1.4Gbps, Huawei said. –IANSksc/na/vm
Kenyan security forces have killed all the Somali militants who stormed an upscale Nairobi hotel compound, taking at least 21 lives and forcing hundreds of people into terrifying escapes, the government said on Wednesday.Fifty people believed to have been in the complex remained unaccounted for on Wednesday afternoon, the Kenya Red Cross said, raising the possibility of a much higher final death toll.The bloody bodies of five attackers were broadcast across social media as President Uhuru Kenyatta announced the end of a 20-hour overnight siege that echoed a 2013 assault that killed 67 people in the Westgate shopping centre in the same district.Somali group al Shabaab, an al Qaeda affiliate fighting to impose strict Islamic law, said they carried out the attack in revenge for U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.”The security operation … is over and all the terrorists eliminated,” Kenyatta said in a televised national address, looking drained and grave.Kenyatta did not specify how many assailants there were, but CCTV clips showed at least five dressed in black, some sporting green grenade belts.One militant is seen in one clip waiting outside a restaurant before blowing himself up in a cloud of debris just after 3 p.m. (1200 GMT). Another explosion near the entrance gate, possibly a grenade, ignites three cars before four men stroll by firing assault rifles and split into two groups.One group entered a nearby office building, where they left a grenade in the lobby, a private security professional present during the attack told Reuters. Then they shot into elevators and offices as they searched for victims up to the sixth floor.advertisementThe other group raked the restaurant with gunfire. Eventually the militants holed up on or near the top floor of the hotel, taking potshots at those fleeing, he said.Bloodstained TablesSixteen Kenyans – including a policeman – an American 9/11 survivor, and a British development worker were among the casualties, police chief Joseph Boinnet said. Three more victims were of African origin but their nationality was unknown, he added.Some victims had been dining in the Secret Garden restaurant and lay slumped at bloodstained tables, video seen by Reuters showed.In its two-page statement claiming responsibility, al Shabaab said: “This operation … (was) a response to the witless remarks of U.S. president, Donald Trump, and his declaration.”Asked about the group’s claim, a White House National Security Council spokesman said in a statement: “This senseless act is a stark reminder of why the United States remains resolved in our fight to defeat radical Islamist terrorism.”Air strikes against the group have intensified under Trump, but Tuesday’s attack showed that the insurgents retain the ability to strike outside Somalia’s borders.Neighbouring Kenya, a hub for multinationals and the United Nations, became a frequent target for al Shabaab after Kenya sent troops into Somalia in 2011 to try to create a buffer zone along its long, porous border.The dusitD2 complex is home to offices of international companies including Colgate Palmolive (CL.N), Reckitt Benckiser (RB.L), Pernod Ricard (PERP.PA), Dow Chemical (DWDP.N) ad SAP (SAPG.DE), as well as the dusitD2 hotel, part of Thai group Dusit Thani (DTC.BK).Hiram Macharia, marketing executive at LG Electronics, said he grabbed a fire extinguisher and headed downstairs after the first blast.”Then we saw two of the attackers firing at the elevators and we turned back,” he told Reuters outside the hotel.”They were firing twice at each of the elevator doors and the two staircase doors on each floor as they walked up the building. One of them fired at our office doors, entered slightly and then moved on.”Macharia and some colleagues hid under desks, but one person ran to the roof and was shot dead there, he added.Westgate Mistakes AvoidedSecurity forces appeared to have avoided some of the mistakes made during the 2013 attack, when police and soldiers shot at each other, then soldiers looted the Westgate mall.One private security worker at the scene said many of the explosions, especially those followed by a short burst of gunfire, were Kenyan special forces using small charges to blow open locked doors and clear rooms.About a dozen armed foreigners of various nationalities were also there, he said, including embassy staff and private security advisers trying to rescue clients.Mamadou Dia was on a business trip from Paris for STP Consultants when he ended up huddled in a room with Chinese and Canadian hotel guests and a waiter.advertisement”They told us by text that the police knew we were in that room and that they would come, and one and a half hours later, the police came to evacuate us,” he said.As armed officers escorted them out, the attackers shot at them “like snipers,” he said, adding that police fired back.At nearby Chiromo morgue, the family of a 35-year-old man collapsed upon hearing a body had arrived with his identification papers.”He is gone, he is gone,” the father repeated into his phone as his mother wrapped a shawl around herself and wept.Also Read | Kenyan forces killed all militants who stormed Nairobi hotel: President Uhuru KenyattaAlso Watch | Kenya says killed two al Shabab militants in Monday operations
PSG Dani Alves given three-match ban after screaming at referee Goal Last updated 1 year ago 07:19 1/26/18 FacebookTwitterRedditcopy Comments(1) 
JEFF PACHOUD PSG Olympique Lyonnais v PSG Olympique Lyonnais Ligue 1 Videos The Brazilian will sit out three matches after his outburst, with the fourth game of the ban suspended Dani Alves has been handed a three-match ban after receiving a straight red for dissent picked up against Lyon. PSG fell 2-1 to their nearest challenger in Ligue 1 on Sunday, with the Brazilian defender sent off with the match finely poised at 1-1 in 57th minute. Memphis Depay hit a winner in stoppage time, helping Lyon close the gap at the top to just eight points.

A Liverpool legend in the making: Behind Virgil van Dijk’s remarkable rise to world’s best player A late challenge on Tanhisguy Ndombele saw Alves called for a foul, but his reaction in the face of the match official proved to be cause for a straight red card to be issued. The LFP also apparently took issue with the former Barcelona star’s action, giving three matches on the bench and a fourth match that will be added onto the automatic ban should he pick up another red card. The Brazilian didn’t help his cause any after the match, doubling down on his actions on social media. “Decisions were taken, the battle was already lost, but I continue to think that Mr Referee lost his way with this decision. Since when has disagreeing equalled a lack of respect,” he wrote on Instagram. “If you want to say that it was my fault, you can, that is free, and, likewise I have shoulders that are considerably large and a pair of balls that ensure I am always standing upright.”PSG face Montpellier in Ligue 1 on Saturday before taking on Rennes in a Coupe de la Ligue semi-final midweek.

Birmingham: Former India cricketer and noted broadcaster Sanjay Manjrekar finds it “really unfair” that the critics’ focus is on Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s strike-rate at this stage of his career when younger players like KL Rahul should be held more accountable. Dhoni scored 42 off 31 balls against England and while Manjrekar found it a bit surprising that the former India captain didn’t go for big shots in the end, he feels others need to be hauled up too. Also Read – Dhoni, Paes spotted playing football together”It is really unfair that the focus is only on Dhoni because, if, at this stage of his career also, there aren’t other batsmen around who can help India win matches, then it is not healthy (sign) for Indian cricket,” Manjrekar told PTI during an interaction on the eve of Bangladesh game. Manjrekar feels it’s time for Rahul to convert those starts and do justice to his potential. “Focus shouldn’t be so much on Dhoni and it’s more a media thing, to talk about Dhoni. If I am a well-wisher of Indian cricket, I will start putting pressure on Lokesh Rahul and others to start delivering and take the load away from people like Dhoni,” said the Mumbaikar, who has played 37 Tests for India. However, Manjrekar feels that Dhoni should at least try to score run-a-ball at the beginning of his innings if he is coming to bat after 20-25 overs. Also Read – Andy Murray to make Grand Slam return at Australian Open”I just loved it when Dhoni went in to bat in the warm-up matches and got 30 runs off 30 balls and the late flourish came. So I would like the team management to tell him to get a run-a-ball start and see how it goes. “If it’s 12 for 2, I can understand you need Dhoni’s defence. Once he is in, after 22 to 25 overs, he should try to score at run-a-ball.” A big fan of Mayank Agarwal’s batting, Manjrekar is delighted for the Karnataka opener. “With due respect to Vijay Shankar and it is very unfortunate that he got injured, I am delighted that Mayank Agarwal is in the team. “I think Mayank is a class player and he made his Test debut in Australia and is a very good addition to the squad. In England, the approach to ODIs is closer to Test cricket,” he added.
