Rohit Sharma answered every question being asked about his future with a century at Lord's, and Ravichandran Ashwin is making sure nobody forgets it. The former India spinner came out swinging, declaring that Kohli and Rohit simply cannot be dropped as long as they want to wear the blue jersey. India lost the series to England, but Rohit's bat did the talking.
Shifting to the transfer window, and Liverpool have moved fast to secure a player being called the new Kaka, beating out Bayern Munich in the race for a highly-rated young talent. This is a club building something serious under Andoni Iraola, already locking down Jeremy Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni, and now adding another gem to what looks like a genuinely exciting rebuild at Anfield.
And keeping the transfer news rolling, Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Rodri dreams of a move to Real Madrid one day, but that story is cold right now, with Florentino Perez not convinced. The Golden Ball winner at the FIFA World Cup stays at Manchester City for the foreseeable future, and that is not bad news for anyone wearing sky blue.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
