You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Julian Brandt is heading to the Premier League, and Juventus are left watching from the outside. The German midfielder is departing Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer this summer, with Di Marzio reporting both Juventus and Roma were in the conversation before the Bianconeri got cut out entirely. England's top flight wins this one.
Meanwhile, the cricket world is holding its breath at Lord's. Rohit Sharma's parents have reportedly made the trip to London ahead of India's series decider against England, and that detail is not insignificant. Selectors are said to have already spoken to Rohit about the long-term ODI picture, and this could genuinely be his farewell to the fifty-over format on one of the game's grandest stages.
And over in Portland, Kevin Kelsy put on a show. The striker bagged a brace and tossed in an assist as the Timbers dismantled Seattle in what was interim head coach Jack Cassidy's very first game in charge. A routing of your fiercest regional rival is about as strong a debut statement as this sport allows.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
