All of 17, the Real Madrid-bound Endrick became the youngest-ever men바카라�s player to score an international goal at Wembley as Brazil beat England 1-0 in their friendly match.

Injured England skipper Harry Kane will return to Bayern Munich after being ruled out of the Three Lions' friendly against Belgium, manager Gareth Southgate said.

Now here's a sight we haven't witnessed too often in the recent past. Max Verstappen will not end on the podium or even in the top 10 in a Formula 1 Grand Prix after a long time. An angry Verstappen has retired early from the Australian GP, with the Red Bull driver sustaining a fiery mechanical failure on the fourth lap of the race, enduring his first race retirement since Albert Park in Australia in 2022.

Minutes after his retirement, he was seen on TV coverage of the race in a heated discussion with Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.

Verstappen had won the first two F1 races of the season in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and was on a nine-race winning streak.

바카라�What we can see so far is the right rear brake just stuck on,바카라� Verstappen said. 바카라�So it was also basically driving with a hand brake on. And that's why I really felt that the car was really weird to drive in some corners. It was just very snappy.바카라�

Ferrari바카라�s Carlos Sainz has returned from surgery just 16 days ago to win the Australian Grand Prix.

"(He is) leading Delhi Capitals and running between the wickets and playing good cricket. Just a matter of time he will regain his form. But, importantly, Indian cricket has got its fine gem back, and we should be thankful to God on his return to the field," said Sidhu on Star Sports on 'Cricket Live' programme.

A day to forget for Bangladesh. After absorbing a strong beating from Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis on the pitch, they came out and lost 5 wickets when it was their turn to bat. They appeared to be out of ideas while bowling as DDS and Mendis formed yet another big partnership.

The margin grew, and even after DDS was disqualified, Mendis remained strong and scored 164.

Sandeep came into the attack only in the 14th over and at a stage wherein Lucknow looked in control of the chase, needing 65 to win from six overs chasing 194 set by the Royals, according to PTI.

Ashwin said a 'bowler for a fight' is way more valuable than skills at times and Sandeep proved so, having done well last season too when he helped Royals secure a three-run win against Chennai Super Kings despite MS Dhoni hitting two sixes in his final over.
