FEDERER GETS THE UMP NOW

In a series that is providing more twists and turns than a Theresa May dance routine, Moeen’s 5-63 was the perfect way to mark his first Test for five months and banish the memory of a difficult winter.

He has now claimed as many ‘five-fers’ in Tests – five – as Phil Tufnell and Ashley Giles.

And it was another man not involved at the start of the series, Cheteshwar Pujara, who provided the resistance to score a brave and brilliant 132 not out – his first ton in England.

But on the ground where he took six wickets against India in ROGER FEDERER has warned he won’t stand for a repeat of an umpire pep talk for Nick Kyrgios when he faces the Aussie at the US Open today.

Swede Mohamed Lahyani bizarrely gave Kyrgios a gee-up as he was a set down and trailing 3-0 to Frenchman Pierre-hugues Herbert.

The umpire said: “I want to help you, I know this is not you. You’re great for tennis,” and Kyrgios went on to win 19 2014, it was Moeen who gave fans the most to shout about as England only coughed up a 27-run lead.

“It is a fresh start for me and you just try and perform,” said

Moeen. ‘‘And with what happened last time that gave me a lot of confidence.

“It is about believing that you’re not a bad player after one bad winter.

“Many players have gone through it and for me it was about moving on and becoming a better player and stronger character.

“I’ve moved on and it is about going out and performing for my country, knowing I can do well here in England of the next 25 games to claim victory. Federer said: “It’s not the umpire’s role to go down from the chair.

“I get what he was trying to do. Nick behaves the way he behaves.

“You, as an umpire, take a decision on the chair – do you like it or don’t you like it? But you don’t go and speak like that in my opinion.

“I don’t know what he said. I don’t care what he said. But it was not just about, ‘How are you feeling?’”
