Marcus Trescothick took his run tally in his last five County Championship innings to 551 with a superb 128 on a rain-delayed opening day against Durham at Taunton. The former England opener followed up scored of 188 not out against Kent and 228 not out against Essex with another powerful exhibition as Somerset ran up 287 for 4. Arul Suppiah made 54 and Nick Compton 45.Play did not start until 1.10pm because of rain, but only 15 overs were lost. Durham’s bowlers faced a tough task maintaining line and length in a strong gusty wind, but stuck to their task well, Dale Benkenstein removing Compton and Trescothick for figures of 2 for 17 from three overs.Trescothick won the toss and elected to take first use of a green looking pitch, which as is so often the case at Taunton, did not offer as much assistance to the seamer as its appearance suggested. Suppiah helped his captain put on 119 for the first wicket and had reached a half-century off 85 balls with 10 fours before being trapped lbw by a delivery from former team-mate Ian Blackwell that looked to turn.Trescothick blasted 11 fours in reaching fifty off 71 deliveries and was unbeaten on 78 when tea was taken at 154 for 1 after 40 overs. The final session also featured 40 overs and saw Trescothick and Compton extend their second wicket stand to 113 before the latter aimed to clip Benkenstein away on the leg side and Scott Borthwick took a sharp catch at short mid-wicket.Trescothick had reached his hundred off 149 balls, with 17 fours, and celebrated with his only six, pulled over a short mid-wicket boundary off Benkenstein. The bowler got his revenge soon afterwards as the Somerset captain, eager to press the accelerator, drove in the air to extra cover where Mark Stoneman took a comfortable catch.From 232 for 1 Somerset were suddenly 249 for 4 when James Hildreth, one of only two batsmen with more runs than Trescothick in the Championship First Division, failed for once and was yorked by Matthew Claydon for 7.It will not have escaped Somerset’s notice that Blackwell got several balls to turn in the closing overs, a sight which may well have had Murali Kartik rubbing his hands at the prospect of bowling left-arm spin at the Durham batsmen later in the game.

Newcastle hold talks with Alex Lowry’s agent

Newcastle United have held talks with the agent of Rangers teenager Alex Lowry, according to Football Insider.

The Lowdown: Lowry profiled

Lowry is 18 years of age and is primarily an attacking midfielder who can also play as a right-winger or even in a deeper midfield role.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-5/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Scot has already made four senior appearances for Rangers, scoring once and providing one assist. Former Ibrox boss Graeme Murty labelled Lowry’s self-confidence as ‘remarkable’, with reports back in February suggesting the teenager has turned down a three-and-a-half-year deal at Ibrox.

His current contract expires in 2023, and it looks as if Newcastle are now leading the race for his services.

The Latest: Hotel meeting

Football Insider shared an update regarding Lowry and Newcastle on Monday morning after being informed by a recruitment source.

They claimed that head of recruitment Steve Nickson met Lowry’s agent in a hotel prior to Newcastle’s Premier League win over Wolves earlier this month.

The report stated that the Magpies are at the front of the queue for the Rangers youngster, who also has interest elsewhere.

The Verdict: Shrewd move

It looks as if Lowry could be a future star with a number of top-tier sides keen on his services, so Newcastle’s decision to meet with his agent and outline their plans could turn out to be a shrewd move.

It would be interesting to see what Newcastle would do with Lowry, should a move to St. James’ Park go through. He already has senior experience in Scotland, and with Eddie Howe having just two attacking midfielders on the books, it could present an opportunity for Lowry to flirt between the club’s Under-23 ranks and first-team squad.

A clear pathway through to first-team football should be outlined by the Magpies, so it looks as if this could be a transfer to watch closely.

Newcastle transfer news on Dybala

Newcastle United have reportedly now ‘moved’ to try and sign Paulo Dybala in the summer.

The Lowdown: Out of contract

Dybala is out of contract in the summer, and so he is expected to leave Juventus at the end of the season as a free agent.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-5/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Currently rated at £36m by Transfermarkt, whoever is able to sign him will be getting a real bargain on their hands – the Argentina star has scored eight times in 20 Serie A starts this season, racking up a huge 3.7 shots, 1.5 key passes and 1.7 dribbles per game (Whoscored).

The Latest: Newcastle move

As per Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness), both the St. James’ Park faithful and Arsenal have now ‘moved’ for Dybala, with his preference to move abroad from Italy.

However, they have not ‘gone beyond the show of interest’, but would have a chance of signing him from a financial perspective.

The Verdict: No-brainer

To get a player of Dybala’s quality for free is surely a no-brainer, perhaps regardless of whatever his potentially remarkable wage demands are.

Hailed as ‘world-class’ by former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson, the Argentina international has won as many as five Serie A titles with the Old Lady, as well as many other accolades (Transfermarkt).

He has over 200 combined goals and assists for club and country over the course of his career so far, and at 28 years of age, is still at the peak of his powers.

Nonetheless, bringing him in through the door on Tyneside would certainly send out a big message to the rest of the world that the Magpies mean business.

غياب لاعب إنجلترا عن التدريبات يومين متتاليين.. وشكوك حول مشاركته ضد إيران

غاب نجم إنجلترا جيمس ماديسون عن التدريبات لليوم الثاني على التوالي في مجمع الوكرة الرياضي بقطر، لتحوم الشكوك حول مشاركته أمام إيران.

غاب لاعب خط وسط ليستر عن جلسة الخميس، حيث قالت إنجلترا إن إغفاله يرجع إلى إدارة حمله التدريبي، في ظل الإصابة التي تعرض لها مطلع الأسبوع الحالي.

لكن ماديسون تخطى التدريبات مرة أخرى يوم الجمعة لإثارة مزيد من الشكوك حول دوره في المباراة الافتتاحية يوم الإثنين ضد إيران في كأس العالم.

ظهر المهاجم للحظات مع بقية زملائه في الفريق، لكنه عاد على الفور إلى الداخل مع بدء الجلسة.

كما لوحظ أنه كان يرتدي حذاء رياضي بينما كان باقي أعضاء فريقه يرتدون أحذية كرة القدم.

عانى ماديسون من مشكلة في الركبة في النصف الأول من فوز ليستر سيتي على وست هام يوم السبت.

لياقته هي مصدر قلق، بعد أن لعب نجم ليستر دوره مرة أخرى في فريق إنجلترا على خلفية مستواه المذهل حتى الآن هذا الموسم.

اتفق جاريث ساوثجيت مدرب إنجلترا مع دعوات من المعجبين والنقاد بأن ماديسون يستحق مكانًا على متن الطائرة المتجهة إلى قطر.

لقد مر بعض الوقت منذ أن تم استدعاؤه لتشكيلة إنجلترا، آخر مرة لعب فيها مع منتخب الأسود الثلاثة في عام 2019.

حتى أن ساوثجيت قال في مؤتمره الصحفي يوم الأربعاء إن هناك فرصة أن يلعب ماديسون في المباراة الافتتاحية ضد إيران يوم الإثنين، ولكن ليس من المعلوم ما إذا كان الأمر سيتغير بناءً على التطورات الأخيرة أم لا.

MatériaMais Notícias

Os jogadores do Cruzeiro foram ao campo, nesta terça-feira, vestindo o novo uniforme de treino. A novidade no lançamento é a cor mais clara de azul. Para a camisa número 1, no entanto, o diretorcomercial e marketing do clube, Robson Pires, afirmou que será mantido o azul tradicional do clube e as estrelas soltas.

Provavelmente será contra a URT. Já está na linha de produção. Vamos tentar segurar o máximo possível, para ser surpresa. Estamos programando o evento para lançamento, que pode ser anterior ao jogo ou no mesmo dia. Posso antecipar que as estrelas estão soltas, a camisa terá o tradicional azul, porque a gente não pode fugir muito, pois o torcedor tem identificação com o tradicional – afirmou o dirigente.

O uniforme dos goleiros também mudou.Antes, o traje de treino dos arqueiros tinha um tom verde mais claro, também com listras. A camisa agora é lisa, assim como dos jogadores de linha. O verde permanece, só que mais escuro.

West Ham United: Pete O’Rourke makes Leeds United duo claim

Leeds United duo Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips will be more realistic transfer targets for West Ham over the summer if they qualify for the Champions League this season, claims transfer expert Pete O’Rourke (via GiveMeSport).

The Lowdown: January failures

West Ham fans endured an excruciatingly quiet transfer window in January. However, the Irons board did make a last-ditch attempt to sign Leeds duo Raphinha and Phillips.

According to MailOnline, the Hammers had a club-record £55million bid rejected for England international Phillips on deadline day.

Leeds further rejected an approach for dazzling winger Raphinha, who GSB were also willing to break their club transfer-record for.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest-news-copy/” title=”West Ham latest news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Latest: O’Rourke’s comments

According to O’Rourke, the possibility of West Ham signing both Raphinha and Phillips will become far more realistic if the east London club secure a top four finish in the league.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, he proclaimed:

“Definitely would be more realistic if West Ham can offer the likes of Raphinha or Kalvin Phillips Champions League football.

“That’s where all the top footballers want to play. They want to play in the Champions League.”

The Verdict: Still seems unlikely

With Leeds’ reluctance to let either one of their star players leave in January, it seems unlikely that this rhetoric will change come the end of the season, especially if the Irons have to break their transfer record twice.

According to journalist Jacque Talbot, who writes for the likes of The Mirror and The Guardian, both Raphinha and Phillips are in discussions with the Whites over contract renewals.

Therefore, if the Hammers choose to go back in for the pair, they could well be met by two massive price tags, especially if other big clubs jump into the race and start a bidding war.

South Africa allrounder Wayne Parnell will begin his return from injury with the South Africa A side on its tour of Sri Lanka in August. Parnell tore his groin while warming up for an IPL match in March and was forced to miss the ICC World Twenty20 and South Africa’s tour of the West Indies as a result.”It is important that Wayne gets as much game time as possible before the Proteas resume their international season against Zimbabwe, Pakistan and India,” Andrew Hudson, the CSA selection convener, said. “He has been out of cricket for a long time and needs quality time in the middle.”Thami Tsolekile has been retained as captain but will return to South Africa after the first two one-day matches to prepare for the Champions’ League in September. The selectors have stuck with the same group of players that beat Bangladesh A in two four-day matches earlier this year and won the triangular one-day tournament that included West Indies A.”We were very pleased with the way the young and inexperienced squad developed on that tour with one of them, David Miller, going on to represent the Proteas,” Hudson said. “Consistency and continuity is an important part of our selection policy.”Stephen Cook, who compiled a South African record score of 390 in the course of scoring over 1,000 runs during the summer first-class season, is the only newcomer in the four-day side.Four-day squad: Thami Tsolekile (capt), Stephen Cook, Dean Elgar, Quinton Friend, Heino Kuhn, Ethy Mbhalati, Wayne Parnell, Vernon Philander, Rilee Rossouw, Rusty Theron, Thandi Tshabalala, Jonathan Vandiar, Stiaan van Zyl.One-day squad: Thami Tsolekile (capt), Ryan Bailey, Dean Elgar, Colin Ingram, Rory Kleinveldt, Ethy Mbhalati, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Vernon Philander, Rilee Rossouw, Rusty Theron, Thandi Tshabalala, Jonathan Vandiar, Morne van Wyk, Stiaan van Zyl.

Mokbel breaks Noble news out of West Ham

Breaking a major West Ham development on Twitter, journalist Sami Mokbel of The Daily Mail has some news for Hammers fans involving long-time club servant Mark Noble.

The Lowdown: Noble in last season…

The midfielder, who has been at West Ham for nearly 18 years, making his senior debut in August 2004, will hang up his Hammers boots at the end of this campaign.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest-developments-3/” title=”West Ham latest developments!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Noble confirmed his intention to quit the playing side of football in March last year, sending an emotional letter of gratitude to supporters, and there has been speculation since of what could be next for the 34-year-old.

Sharing news on that front, Mokbel has a major development for West Ham fans involving their fan favourite.

The Latest: Mokbel breaks Noble news…

Breaking news on Twitter, the Mail journalist says both Noble and West Ham are in talks over a football executive role for the player.

It is believed the Englishman is even open to that possibility provided he’ll be granted ‘genuine influence’.

“West Ham in talks with Mark Noble over football executive role,” said Mokbel.

“Understand he’s open to it provided he can have genuine influence. Plus – Kurt Zouma recovers from stomach bug ahead of Newcastle.”

The Verdict: Big update…

News of Noble’s possible extended stay at Rush Green after he retires from the playing side of football comes as a big update.

The former Three Lions international is seen as a really influential figure behind-the-scenes and embodies the spirit of West Ham through and through.

Keeping a figure of his importance could come as vital to maintain a feel-good factor and drive the Irons forward with a specific vision.
