Pakistan win toss, opt to bowl in final ODI against Bangladesh

Pakistan on Sunday won the toss and opted to bowl against Bangladesh in their final and third One-Day International in Dhaka.

“Pakistan win the toss and opt to field first in the third ODI,” said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on X, referring to ODI captain Shaheen Afridi’s decision.

The match is being played at Dhaka’s Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

In a post revealing today’s Playing XI, the PCB highlighted that Ghazi Ghori and Saad Masood were making their ODI debut today.

In their second ODI on Friday, Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 128 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method as rain hampered the match, levelling the series 1-1 after the hosts’ win in the opening match.

On Saturday, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said it had officially reprimanded Salman Ali Agha for breaching Level 1 of its code of conduct during Friday’s game.

Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani skipping home run derby

Baseball’s biggest star is skipping the home run derby. Shohei Ohtani confirmed after Tuesday’s win over the Diamondbacks that he will not be participating as he continues to rehab an elbow injury that has prevented him from pitching this season. “There’s been some conversations going on,” Ohtani said, according to Juan Toribio of MLB.com . “I’m in the middle of my rehab progression, so it’s not going to look like I’ll be participating.” Manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani and the club reached the decision together. Ohtani signed a historic 10-year, $700-million contract with the Dodgers after winning his second AL MVP award last season with the Angels.

He hit his NL-leading 27th home run in the win. Ohtani had previously participated in the Derby in 2021. Last season’s champion, Vlad...

Heathrow resumes operations as global airlines scramble after shutdown

London’s Heathrow Airport resumed full operations on Saturday, a day after a fire knocked out its power supply and shut Europe’s busiest airport, causing global travel chaos. The travel industry was scrambling to reroute passengers and fix battered airline schedules after the huge fire at an electrical substation serving the airport.
