Pakistan fast bowler Saqib Khan made an immediate impact on his Test debut, claiming a sensational seven-wicket haul to turn the first Test against Sri Lanka in the hosts’ favour on a rain-interrupted fourth day at Rawalpindi on Thursday.
The 31-year-old pacer returned impressive figures of 7/130 as Sri Lanka, who had resumed the day at a commanding 404/4, were bowled out for 446. The visitors managed to secure only a slender 12-run first-innings advantage after losing their final six wickets for just 42 runs.
Pakistan responded with 57/1 in 21.

Kyle Larson secured his third NASCAR Cup Series championship on Sunday even though he went the entire 26-race regular season without a single victory. The title was decided early during the first stage of the race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, leaving the final laps to play out without the pressure of a points battle. Larson finished 12th in the race and never led a lap, yet he still took home the biggest prize in the sport.

Four-star interior offensive lineman and former Georgia Bulldogs recruiting target Jatori Williams has found a new home. He committed to the Auburn Tigers, according to Hayes Fawcett.
Williams is a four-star recruit from the class of 2027. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman plays high school football for Central Phenix City High School in Phenix City, Alabama, which is about 35 miles away from Auburn. He is the No. 5 interior offensive lineman and No. 97 overall prospect in the nation.
Prior to his commitment, Williams was the top uncommitted recruit in the country.
For years, Curtayis Cooper believed he had the talent to play Division I football. All he needed was an opportunity to prove it.
That opportunity arrived Nov. 1 when the Rickards senior wide receiver received his first college scholarship offer from Florida A&M, a program located just miles from where he has built a breakout senior season.

As you might expect, members of the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers have been living their best lives this November.
That includes closer Trevor Megill, who finished third in the inaugural Baseball Writers Association of America Reliever of the Year voting.
Megill posed for a picture with members of the band Metallica, including James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo, on the same night the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers played a concert at the Las Vegas Sphere.

I distinctly remember the 2022-23 Utah Jazz, the first season for current Head Coach Will Hardy, starting out the season 10-3, with Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson leading the recently blown-up roster that, for the first time in half a decade, did not feature Donovan Mitchell or Rudy Gobert. There were conversations in NBA media — on podcasts, in blogs, in my college dining hall (NBA media is everywhere) — about if the Jazz would be able to tank properly, as they clearly had planned to coming into the season.
