Watson’s place in the defending champions’ side had been called into question due to his lack of runs at the top of the order, but the former Australia all-rounder was CSK’s match-winner on Tuesday. Manish Pandey made 83 not out from only 49 balls and David Warner (57 from 45) made a fifth consecutive half-century as Sunrisers posted 175-3 at MA Chidambaram Stadium. Watson returned to form with a bang to set up a victory that put the Super Kings above Delhi Capitals at the summit, blasting 96 off just 53 deliveries and passing 8,000 Twenty20 runs in the process....

But after the quarterback took a few too many unnecessary hits in a 19-16 overtime win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, his teammates wondered if maybe he should dial things back a bit. “I be in the huddle telling him to get down,” receiver DeAndre Hopkins said. “I need him. That’s what I tell him honestly. Don’t take those hits unless you … have to. But he’s a warrior....

After Dortmund fans held up offensive banners at the match, the club was fined €100,000 and ordered to close their south stand, nicknamed the ‘Yellow Wall’, for Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Wolfsburg. ‘Shut up, dickhead’ - Allegri rants at Bonucci Watzke said he and his family have been threatened by Leipzig supporters following the match, which saw Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang score the only goal to claim all three points. “If I would publish everything that I have received in the last 14 days,” Watzke said....

Kickoff in Tuesday’s Premier League clash was delayed by 45 minutes after United arrived over an hour later than scheduled. MORE: Ranking the American owners in English soccer United’s bus and a police escort were pelted with bottles on their approach to Upton Park, and Rooney was quick to criticize the home fans’ actions. “It wasn’t nice,” Rooney told Sky Sports. “The coach got smashed up, but we’re here now, so we have to prepare for the game and go out and do our job....

But how do infection-causing pathogens enter the body? Understanding the four main ways that infections start can help you protect yourself. The Respiratory Tract Another name for the common cold is an upper respiratory infection. It occurs when one of 200 different cold-causing viruses is breathed in and enters the respiratory tract. Rhinoviruses are the most common of the viruses that cause colds. Influenza, and other infections that spread through the air are also contracted in this fashion....

Les Bleus crushed Messi’s hopes of winning the tournament when they dispatched Argentina 4-2 in the round of 16. Didier Deschamps’ side subsequently beat Uruguay 2-0 on Friday to tee up a mouth-watering semi-final date with Belgium, who ousted favourites Brazil 2-1 in Kazan. Left-back Hernandez named Hazard and Romelu Lukaku as key dangers but is undaunted by the challenge of shackling the Premier League pair. “We have already eliminated the best player in the world [Messi] against Argentina,” the Atletico Madrid man told reporters....

Liverpool blitzed Roma in the first leg at Anfield last week and appeared to be easing into the final after going 5-0 up. Roma gave themselves a glimmer of hope by scoring two late goals, however, meaning a 3-0 win in Rome on Wednesday will be enough to send them through to the final. While a 3-0 Roma victory is by no means a given, they can at least take encouragement from beating Barcelona by the same scoreline at home in the quarter-final second leg, securing qualification despite losing 4-1 at Camp Nou....

Climate change will increasingly impact agriculture, so it makes sense for agriculture to be part of the solution. In fact, it’s hard to see how we can make much of a dent on climate without addressing farming. Global meat production causes more climate change than emissions from every single plane, train, and automobile in the world. The problem is that feeding crops to animals and then eating part of the animal is inherently inefficient....

Everything that has been shown so far paints an interesting and unique picture. Not only do players jump from character to character, with there being no main protagonist, but these characters range from an assassins granny to a NPC who randomly dies. Permadeath is also a legitimate thing, so Watch Dogs Legion is shaping up to be a new challenge rooted in the franchise’s identity, with the classes adapting these identities into something unique....

The panelists of the BBC show seemed split on whether Watch Dogs Legion will provide an accurate look at post-Brexit London. The Spectator’s Toby Young, who is a Brexit supporter, said that “As a Brexit supporter the temptation is to become outraged they’re portraying Brexit as being such a disaster when actually so far no disaster has materialised.” Young also suggested that Watch Dogs Legion, with the mass surveillance and the fallen government seen in the game’s announcement trailer, shows how “paranoid apocalyptic fever dreams” have shown up since Brexit and Trump came to office....

With Final Fantasy XV finally coming out in less than two weeks, some gamers are now wondering how the title’s PS4 Pro support will hold up.

With the recent release of Halo Infinite, fans have been coming back to the franchise in droves and the game is cementing its place as one of the best competitive shooters on the market.

In the viral video uploaded onto TikTok by Adam Feldman, a woman can be seen smashing a gravy boat dated to 1942 with a hammer. The video started with a man holding the camera pulling away from the item before asking: “What are you going to do with it?” In response, the woman looked into the camera and said: “We’re going to smash it [to] bits and give it the treatment it deserves....

The clip begins with a message overlaid on it that read “GRWM [get ready with me] for a morning run with 8 weens [dachshunds],” as the dogs appear to be cozy under a blanket in bed. The video, which shows the dachshunds later running alongside the woman across patches of green fields, was shared with a caption that said: “Gotta keep these hotdogs in shape. [half smile face emoji] #fyp #fy #foryou #dog #dachshund....

Despite a slow start at the plate, Mookie Betts is still Mookie Betts, so he’s good for at least a highlight or two a game. Thursday’s Dodgers-Pirates matchup is a reminder of that. In the bottom of the second, Betts made a great shoestring grab on a fly ball off the bat of Kai’ai Tom, and in the same motion pirhouetted and threw out Erik Gonzalez at the plate for the insane double play....

The dinosaur fossil, which was uncovered at the Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada, was first discovered by paleontologists from the University of New England and the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller in 2021, according to a blog from the museum. Since then, excavation efforts have continued. The skeleton belongs to a herbivorous species called a hadrosaur, also known as the ‘duck-billed dinosaur.’ So far, only the animal’s tail and foot has been uncovered....

The Orioles starter took not one, but two line-drives on consecutive batters in the second inning vs. the White Sox. The first liner came off the bat of Jose Abreu, and looked to catch Miley right in the wrist. MORE: Manny Machado exacts a bit of revenge vs. Red Sox Miley shook off the comebacker. But the next batter, Avisail Garcia, nailed him too. It’s not often you see a pitcher hit by one comebacker, but two in one night?...

South Park: The Fractured But Whole South Park: The Fractured But Whole has been in development for a while, suffering a few setbacks. As a result, much of the world has gotten a good look at the game by now. But new footage surely awaits viewers at E3. Ubisoft recently set a new release date for mid-October. Fingers crossed this one sticks. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Ubisoft outright said it wants to be the leading third-party publisher on the Nintendo Switch....

An analysis by The Associated Press has found the waterways in and around Olympic and Paralympic venues are polluted with high levels of viruses and bacteria from raw human sewage.
