Latham was not out 25 with Raval on 17 and New Zealand requiring a further 340 to reach their 382-run target. If successful, it would be the seventh-highest winning run chase in Test history. New Zealand’s highest successful fourth innings is 325 for five to beat Pakistan in Christchurch 24 years ago. After England declared at 352 for nine, Latham and Raval had some difficult moments in a hostile first-up spell by Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad....

In the video, shared on TikTok on Saturday by the dog’s owner, under the username Nellyandnancy_sausagesis, the “sassy” dachshund can be seen stomping her feet on the sofa twice and giving her owner an “eye twitch,” like a “toddler” would do when they’re hungry. The hilarious clip comes with a caption that says: “As if my dog stomped her foot like a stroppy toddler because she’s hungry,” and in the comments, they revealed that actually Nelly does this beginning at 4 p....

The Western and the Muslim worlds may seem more alienated than ever, but there’s a growing demand for humor that bridges the gap. The Comedy Store’s “Arabian Knights” shows regularly sell out–“I know I’m not a Middle Easterner,” says Tripoli, “but we are all brothers with unibrows”–and Arab-American comics are landing prime spots in clubs nationwide. “All of a sudden we’re topical,” says Kader. “Before, it was like, ‘Why are you talking about Arabs?...

“The Democrats and the media that serve them are like addicts looking for their next fix, and their drug of choice over the past five years has been Donald Trump,” said the presenter on The Ingraham Angle programme on Monday. She then said that Trump’s impeachment trial, which begins on Tuesday, was just “a shiny” object to distract voters. “If you’re conservative and you voted for Trump, they want you demoralized by the impeachment proceedings and the January 6th riot and they want you to believe things will never get better,” she said....

Boebert is a popular member of the Republican Party who has a reputation for her outspoken and sometimes controversial beliefs. Among other things, the Colorado representative is known as a fierce advocate of gun rights and even owns a restaurant where staff are encouraged to openly carry firearms. One of her recent divisive stances is her characterization of the House inquiry into the Capitol riots as a “sham witch hunt....

Boebert, who represents Colorado’s 3rd congressional district, made the remarks on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast on Wednesday, eliciting a stinging response from Omar on Twitter. “If there really is this separation of church and state like they believe it means, well then what is Ilhan doing with her hijab on?” Boebert said. “Why is she able to go in there with that?” the congresswoman went on. “Why aren’t they shouting that from the rooftops?...

According to LaVar Ball, however, the discussion is not worth having because Jordan stands head and shoulders above James. At least temporarily, because Ball expects his sons to eclipse Jordan’s achievements. “The greatest of all time, how do you measure that? You measure that by your victories and what you did in those victories,” Ball told Fox Sports anchor Shannon Sharpe during an appearance on Club Shay Shay on Tuesday....

Team Europe stormed to a 14-1 rout this time last year to clinch their fourth consecutive Laver Cup, but a thrilling comeback from Team World, captained by John McEnroe, on Day Three saw Frances Tiafoe become the hero of the hour. The American saved four match points to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 1-6, 7-6(11), 10-8 and give his side a 13-8 victory. While Tiafoe stole the headlines, the real moment of the Laver Cup, and of a generation, came on Friday night when Swiss veteran Federer suffered defeat alongside Rafael Nadal in the doubles to Tiafoe and Jack Sock in his final ever match....

The Bucs do have a talented defensive roster, led by David, who made the Pro Bowl last season. In addition, the team has four-time consecutive Pro Bowler Gerald McCoy on the interior of the line and upcoming linebacker Kwon Alexander. They spent the first two picks in the draft on cornerback Vernon Hargreaves and defensive end Noah Spence. Robert Ayers was also brought in during free agency to improve their pass rush....

Newsweek reported on the video in June, which shows an unarmed male stunned with a Taser falling to the ground. The police then crowd around the man and push his friends away and ask them to back up while they handcuff him. A press release from the town of Ocean City stated that authorities approached the large group of teens and told them that vaping is prohibited on the boardwalk....

As its name implies, the Dino Safari DLC for Lawn Mowing Simulator will take players into an experience filled with dinosaurs. Imagine Jurassic Park, but with Lawn Mowers. The DLC includes four new contract locations for players to mow through, named Cretaceous Canyon, Herbivore Valley, Raptor Enclosure, and T-Rex Paddock. The names should give a great idea of what dinosaurs await within. Between the four new areas, there are twelve new career contracts, four new valuables, and six new achievements....

Frank is in the process of retaining "high-powered" lawyers, a sign he could soon seek a way out of his contract, which pays about $6 million over six years, highest among NBA assistants. This process was jump-started when Nets head coach Jason Kidd, who recruited Frank, his former coach, announced Tuesday that Frank would no longer sit on the bench or attend practices and would instead file daily reports as part of being "re-assigned....

NEWSWEEK: What is Saddam’s mood these days? Khalil al-Dulaimi: His morale is very high. He’s spending his time writing poetry and [working] on his defense. He’s asked me for some books on legal issues, and also old Arabic poetry and literature books. His morale is high? You recently implied to reporters that he expected execution. I can promise that his morale is very high. Saddam Hussein fights for what is right....

The next entry in the studio’s darkly psychological series, Layers of Fears will build off the previous two installments and will have a new story with all the themes of madness and near-psychedelic first-person horror fans have come to expect. The trailer has a brooding atmosphere, with the voice of a soft-spoken woman talking about a piano, which sets the tone. There are also brief moments that show the actual gameplay itself, with that “haunted house” vibe that many will already be familiar with....

So, too, were the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and the Versailles Conference after World War I. Neither gathering eliminated wars or upheavals in Europe. If nothing else, the cold-war standoff kept the peace there for more than 40 years. Now, with the sudden collapse of communism, trouble is brewing among restless nationalities from the Balkans to the Baltic (box, page 48). Any flash point–the breakup of Yugoslavia, for example, or an eruption of the ethnic feud between Hungary and Romania–could trigger a conflict that might threaten other European countries....

Bell was upset with Skip Bayless, specifically after a conversation on the television program in May. Bell had recently made comments about players intentionally trying to injure him and Bayless responded by saying, “This is unbecoming of a Pittsburgh Steeler to come across as whining. Just shut up and go beat them next year.” MORE: Most underrated teams for 2016 | Most overrated teams The Steelers back responded on social media by offering to come on the show....

While Biden has indicated he plans to seek another four years in the White House, he is likely to come under added pressure to stand aside if the Democrats perform badly in the November midterms. Just 22 percent of Americans want Biden to run again in 2024, with 61 percent opposed, according to a Decision Desk HQ poll, commissioned by NewsNation. The survey of 1,000 registered voters, conducted between July 22 and 24, asked respondents who they’d prefer as the Democrat candidate if Biden doesn’t run....

The 21-year-old center was placed on injured reserve Monday but will not need surgery. He was injured early in the second period Saturday during Toronto’s 3-2 victory over Winnipeg. “It’s part of the game,” he said. “I’m going to work as hard as I can to get back as soon as possible.” Based on a minimum four-week timeline, Matthews will miss at least 13 games, with his earliest possible return Nov....

Summoner’s Rift Summoner Rift is the most played mode out of all. It consists of a battleground divided into two identical halves. There are three lanes present called Top lane, Middle lane and Bottom lane. These lanes are connected by each by Jungle. The Jungle consists of Neutral Monsters which can be slain to get temporary or permanent buffs. There are three turrets in each lane on either side. The Nexus is the heart of the game and is present on either side and the team which succeeds in destroying other team’s nexus first marches towards victory....

In a patch preview shared by Riot designer Mark Yetter some weeks ago, a variety of tentative changes were shared. In terms of champion changes, ten champions in total were either nerfed, buffed, or adjusted. Nerfs were handed to Master Yi, Fiddlesticks, and Pantheon, though only through smaller numbers changes. In terms of buffs, Ryze, Qiyana, Xayah, Karma, and Gnar all improved. Gnar especially saw some significant improvements to several abilities....
