Joe Root just keeps adding to his legacy. On Day 1 of the third Test against India at Lord’s, the former England captain became the first batter in history to score 7,000 Test runs on English soil — a milestone that places him alongside some of the greatest names to have played the game.
Curtis Campher etched his name into the cricket history books with a sensational spell of fast bowling for Munster Reds in the Inter-Provincial T20 Trophy. The Ireland pacer became the first male cricketer in professional cricket to take five wickets in five consecutive deliveries.
Jordan Henderson is on the verge of a Premier League return. The former Liverpool captain, now a free agent after his short spell at Ajax, is set to join Brentford on a two-year deal. He’s expected to undergo a medical on Friday, with the move likely to be wrapped up over the weekend.
Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea in a deal worth £52 million. The England international has already agreed terms on a five-year contract and is expected to complete his move to the Emirates soon. While it was initially thought that negotiations would begin after the FIFA Club World Cup, things have moved quickly behind the scenes, with the two London clubs reaching an agreement.
Tottenham Hotspur are wasting no time making a statement in the transfer window. Just a day after sealing a £55 million move for West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, Spurs have triggered the £60 million release clause of Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White. The 25-year-old is now set for a medical at Hotspur Way on Friday and, barring any late surprises, will become the latest high-profile signing under new head coach Thomas Frank.
