CRICKET:

A wicket with the last ball before stumps helped England shade the first day of the third Test at Trent Bridge after they had asked India to bat on winning the toss following their victories in the first two Tests. Visiting captain Virat Kohli (right) with 97 helped his side to 307-6, Ajinkya Rahane adding 81. The dismissal of Hardik Pandya late on boosted Joe Root’s England.
