He said, “On this trip, we challenged him a lot to bat according to the situation. He got a critical 64* in the one-day final when he was the last recognized batsman and also against West Indies A when he put on a 100-run partnership with Jayant Yadav.” Another aspect of Pant’s developing game that impressed Dravid was his ability to break out of the one-dimensional mold attacking batsmen generally tend to get into in the course of their careers....

Is Kelly Severide leaving Chicago Fire? Though Kinney has not confirmed his future on the series, fans will be seeing a lot less of the character at Station 51 for the rest of the year. After a Chicago Fire fan asked Haas on Twitter “What can we expect with Kelly and Casey this season?” the showrunner replied: “They won’t both be at 51 before the winter break.” This suggests that, though Severide may return to 51, it will not be until January 2020....

What makes Brave New World stand out is the level of detail that Firaxis carefully crafted into the game. Culture and diplomacy take center stage, and are the main focuses for players. Unlike Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword (which boasted cultural and diplomacy improvements but didn’t deliver on them entirely), this time Firaxis has got it right with the amount of changes and the way the player has to do rethink their strategy....

The United boss believes the Brazilian’s world-record move from Barcelona drove up prices across the board, meaning it paid dividends to get business done early. By the time that £198million deal had been completed, Mourinho had already signed the likes of Romelu Lukaku (£75m) and Nemanja Matic (£40m) – players he claims would have cost a lot more later in the window. “I think we were very clever,” the Portuguese told The Times....

With each subsequent iteration, dating as far back as the first Black Ops, gamers have been wondering when Activision would introduce a new graphics engine into the fold.
