Palmeiras beat Al Ahly at Club World Club after weather delay

Brazil's Palmeiras scored twice in the space of 10 second-half minutes to beat Al Ahly of Egypt 2-0 in their Group A Club World Cup clash at MetLife Stadium on Thursday. The win puts Palmeiras on four points, two ahead of Porto and Inter Miami, who faced off later that night. English referee Anthony Taylor took the two teams off the field while spectators were told by the public address announcer to leave their seats and seek shelter under the stadium concourse because of a "severe weather threat". The precaution came despite no obvious signs of any storm and after 30 minutes, spectators were told they could return to their seats. The game eventually restarted after a 50-minute delay, with Palmeiras keeping up their second-half dominance.

Gill draws on last England series for inspiration

India take on England in a five-Test contest in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, beginning Friday at Headingley, and India's red-ball skipper Shubman Gill officially confirmed his position in the batting lineup at the pre-match presser. The 25-year-old takes over the No. 4 position, following the retirement of Virat Kohli, who occupied that slot for the majority of his Test career for India, and the right-hand batter opened up on conversations leading to the decision. "The summer has been a little bit different to the other English summers. It's been a little bit dry, so I was just waiting to see the wicket one last time to see the final combinations and deciding on that," said Gill at the pre-match press conference. 'After Virat Bhai retired, me and GG Bhai [Gautam Gambhir] had a discussion about it. And we were both clear that he wanted me to bat at number four, and I was also clear that I also wanted to bat at that number." Gill will be debuting as India's No. 4 in the contest at Leeds. In his 32 Tests so far, Gill has 16 outings as an opener and as many outings as India's No. 3.
