ENG vs IND 1st Test: I try to forget quickly, says Bumrah on Indian dropped catches
In a parallel world, Jasprit Bumrah could have had more than the five wickets he ended up with in England's first innings here, and that too in double quick time. But a disastrous fielding display by his teammates – they dropped three catches off his bowling – and some rotten luck – he dismissed Harry Brook off a no-ball when on nought – ensured India was on the field for far longer than desired. But Bumrah was empathetic towards his fielders. 'You have to move forward,' he said on Sunday. 'I try to quickly forget. They [fielders] are also new [to England] and sometimes the ball is tough to sight. I don't want to be angry and kicking and putting more pressure.' ALSO READ | Bumrah fifer and Rahul's steady 47 helps India take 96-run lead at end of Day 3 Bumrah also stated that the wicket was still good to bat. 'There is a little bit of two-pace and the new ball might swing. But no demons. It's a fast scoring ground. So the more runs we get, the better.' By his own admission, the 31-year-old is not looking to play more than three Tests this series for better management of his workload. But the potential limited participation doesn't affect his thinking and preparation, he said. 'You don't look at what is going to happen. At this moment, I am trying to assess the wicket, and the batter. I am not thinking about how many games I am going to play.' The constant chatter about his career ending because of injuries also doesn't bother him. 'It was once said that I can't play cricket at all. Then it became six months, eight months. But it's been more than 10 years now in internationals and 12 to 13 years of IPL. Still people are saying 'I will go'. People can keep saying, but I am going nowhere. I will keep playing until god allows me to and try taking Indian cricket forward.'

England's favourite Harry makes India brood
CHENNAI: England's explosive batter Harry Brook had not even opened his account when he top-edged Jasprit Bumrah to Mohammed Siraj on Day Two in Leeds, Headingley on Saturday. Unfortunately for Bumrah and India, the pacer had overstepped and the batter got a new lease of life. However, that was not the only reprieve for the World No. 2 Test batter as he was dropped twice — one each when he was on 46 and 82 respectively. He made the visitors pay with his 112-ball 99 to take the team closer to India's first innings total of 471. A typical Brook's innings at a strike rate of 88.39 meant the hosts replied strongly, posting 465 in their first essay. For the unversed, the 26-year-old Yorkshire lad has the highest strike rate in Test cricket among specialist batters at the moment. Highly regarded for his destructive batting abilities irrespective of the format, the recently-appointed England white-ball captain has a kind of unusual relationship with India. Earlier this year, he was banned for two years from the Indian Premier League after pulling out of the competition for the second year running. Delhi Capitals was the franchise that signed him on both occasions with his latest paycheck during the 2025 mega auction being Rs 6.2 crore.

Unusual quietness in transfer market over ISL suspense
ISL champions Mohun Bagan are generally busy during the transfer window making big signings but the Kolkata giants are yet to make a signing Panaji: In recent times, Mohun Bagan Super Giant have often proved the busiest during the transfer windows, picking up any big player who's ready to move. This season, the champions have been unusually quiet. Their rivals, East Bengal, in contrast, have been busy, signing two foreign players -- Mohammed Rashid (Palestine) and Miguel Ferreira (Brazil) – besides snatching India striker Edmund Lalrindika for a transfer fee of Rs 1 crore from Inter Kashi. They have now made a bid for India left-back Jay Gupta with a transfer fee upwards of Rs 1.5 crore. This season, East Bengal is the exception to the lull that is currently existing in the transfer market. Most other clubs, as evident by Bagan's inactivity, have paused their signings owing to the uncertainty over this edition of the Indian Super League (ISL). ISL clubs have also delayed start to their pre-season training, which was expected to kick off between July 15 and July 22. This stalemate arises given that FSDL, the body that runs the league, have told club owners that the league will not kick off unless there is clarity over the Master Rights Agreement (MRA) between All India Football Federation (AIFF) and its marketing partners. Bagan's only move so far has been for Kiyan Nassiri, who left the club last season and moved to Chennaiyin FC. The Kolkata giants now want him back in a move which will cost the club Rs 30 lakh, a modest transfer fee going by their record moves in the past. Clubs like FC Goa have identified new foreign players but have not completed the signings. Several extensions have also been kept on hold. It's a similar story at Kerala Blasters, Chennaiyin, Odisha and Hyderabad, while Bengaluru and Mumbai City have adopted a cautious approach. 'We are still a couple of weeks away from our slated start to the pre-season, so we will keep ourselves prepared in the best way possible to try and react to whatever developments that may arise in the next couple of weeks,' said FC Goa CEO Ravi Puskur. 'We are weighing up the current scenario and assessing the best way forward.' This season's ISL was expected to kick off on Sept 14, as per the calendar approved by the AIFF League Committee last month. However, there is now growing suspense over the future of the league itself. Unlike other clubs, Goa find themselves in a difficult situation as they have a competitive fixture early in the season. Having qualified for continental championships after winning the Super Cup last season, Goa have a preliminary round AFC Champions League Two clash against Al Seeb FC on Aug 13 at home. A win against the Oman champions will take them to the AFC Champions League Two while a loss will consign them to the third-tier AFC Challenge League. 'We are in a unique situation where we have a competitive fixture which extends beyond the Indian football ecosystem and there is an expectation from AFC that we will participate in that,' said Puskur.
