Lester Pocket initially seems like just an excuse for the Netflix show’s writers to bring together a lot of strange character quirks. Lester carries around tapes of random recordings, for example, and likes to listen to his own digestion with a stethoscope. The Netflix show, however, eventually reveals that the character is key to what’s going on in The Umbrella Academy Season 3—and that we have seen this character before in the show....

Virat Kohli once again got off to a good start on Day 1 of the Oval Test. He looked good for a big one but nicked one off the bowling of Ollie Robinson soon after reaching his half-century. Deep Dasgupta pointed out that it has been a strange patch for the Indian skipper, not being able to convert the starts. Deep Dasgupta said on BBC’s Test Match Special podcast:...

He came in to bat when India were in a dire situation, having lost Rishabh Pant for the sixth wicket with 117 on the board. At this juncture, Shardul Thakur played an aggressive brand of cricket and took all the bowlers to the cleaners. He nonchalantly hit boundaries at will en route to his second half-century in Test cricket in just five innings. Due to half-centuries from Shardul Thakur and Virat Kohli, Team India managed to get to 191....

The message coming out of the Baltimore Ravens franchise is that they are in no rush to sign their superstar quarterback to a long-term deal.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told ESPN reporter Jamison Hensley today that:...

Mohamed Salah’s third-minute opener put Liverpool on track before Victor Wanyama came off the bench to thrash in a long-range leveller and spark a hugely dramatic last 10 minutes at Anfield. Harry Kane went down under a Loris Karius challenge, but Liverpool felt there was an offside in the build-up to the incident, Moss pointing to the spot after lengthy discussions with his assistant. Karius denied Kane and Liverpool edged back in front in the first minute of stoppage time thanks to Salah’s superb solo strike, only for another arguable spot-kick to give Spurs the chance to steal a point....

Biden’s campaign emphasized in an email to Newsweek that this marked Johnson’s “first ever presidential endorsement.” The actor and former professional wrestler previously identified as a Republican and even spoke at the 2000 Republican National Convention.
