2022-07-28 02:00:07 Relentless Popp spearheads Germany’s force but glimpses of hope for England | Nick Ames

The 31-year-old striker is making up for lost time after injuries and joint top scorer could complete the fairytale at WembleyTwo minutes before the hour, with France starting to suggest they had finally got Germany’s measure, their substitute Selma Bacha was sent sprinting clear down the inside left channel. Her decision to shoot early as the ball held up outside the penalty area seemed questionable but was quickly explained: she had seen Alexandra Popp, effectively the last German defender, making up ground in her rear view mirror and could do little as, from nowhere, the hurtling No 11 successfully threw herself towards the shot. Popp had prevented a potential goal and here was the kicker: 13 seconds previously, in an almost identical position at the other end of the pitch, it was her slightly loose pass that had let France break.She had bust a gut to get back and save the day, just as she put everything on the line to power a thrilling winner past Pauline Peyraud-Magnin 14 minutes from time. For all the breathtaking moments England’s players have provided in their run to the final, there will be nobody quite like Popp on the Wembley pitch this Sunday. Continue reading...

2022-07-28 00:40:11 Bairstow and Moeen provide fireworks as England sink South Africa

1st T20: England 234-6 bt South Africa 193-8 by 41 runsStubbs’ explosive hitting in debut innings all in vainOn a postage-stamp ground where the bowlers mustered few special deliveries and the batters sent most of their messages by air mail, there was one particularly memorable arrival. England eventually romped to victory by 41 runs, but even on a night when Moeen Ali scored England’s fastest ever half-century in the format and Jonny Bairstow flayed his way to 90 the most memorable contribution came from South Africa’s Tristan Stubbs, a 21-year-old playing his first international innings.Fully 120 of England’s 234 runs came from sixes, their 20 maximums more than they had ever scored before, or South Africa had conceded. With the tourists further dispirited by a series of failures in the field – even discounting the one Heinrich Klaasen lost in its flight and allowed to float over his head Bairstow was dropped three times – their run chase seemed destined to be forlorn.
