Sheffield United are making progress in their hunt for new signings and Ruben Selles is now advancing for his latest target, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Failing to claim promotion to the Premier League will have carried a sting in the tale for the Blades, though inevitable departures can often pave the way for fresh hunger ahead of the new campaign.

With Ruben Selles now in the door and facing up to that task, Don Goodman has had his say on Vinicius Souza’s Sheffield United departure as he prepares for an imminent move to Wolfsburg, claiming that he is surprised there wasn’t Premier League interest in the midfielder.

He stated: “The biggest surprise for me, should Vini Souza depart Sheffield United this summer, is that a Premier League club hasn’t taken a chance on him, and I say that with the greatest respect to Wolfsburg.”

He added: “it was up to the players who had almost let themselves down in the Premier League to wipe the slate down and go again, and he certainly was one of those who did that. When he wasn’t in the team, they missed him (when he was), he was outstanding.”

Nevertheless, Sheffield United are active on the transfer front and could look to bring in Tyler Bindon, who has previously worked with Selles while on loan at Reading last campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur pair Ashley Phillips and Alfie Devine could yet end up at Bramall Lane, indicatting that the club are searching far and wide for reinforcements ahead of the new campaign.

Now, Selles and company have their eye on a central defender from the continent who could add some much-needed solidity at the Yorkshire outfit.

Sheffield United hold "concrete interest" in Etienne Kinkoue

According to Fabrizio Romano on social media platform X, Sheffield United hold ‘concrete interest’ in Le Havre defender Etienne Kinkoue, who is set to leave his current employers this summer, with his deal at the Ligue 1 side set to expire in 2026.

Valued at around £4.3 million, Burnley and FC Köln are also said to be in pursuit and the 23-year-old wants to take his next career step elsewhere.

Standing at 6ft 5in, Kinkoue made 28 appearances across all competitions last campaign and helped his side to remain in the top-flight, though he could now be set for a new challenge away from the comfort of his homeland.

Sheffield United have been in the market for central defenders this summer and Kinkoue is clearly someone who would fit the bill ahead of another tilt at promotion.

1st Youth Test with Sri Lanka headed for rain-affected draw at Wormsley

ECB Reporters Network10-Jul-2024

Young Lions opener Freddie McCann fell just short of a second century of the summer against Sri Lanka U19s in the rain-affected first Men’s Youth Test at Wormsley.McCann was stumped on 92 after sharing a 160-run second-wicket partnership with Keshana Fonseka that ensured a strong response with the bat after Sri Lanka were all out for 324.Sri Lanka U19s captain Dinuru Kalupahana had earlier reached his maiden international century with Surrey Academy quick Alex French the pick of the England U19s bowlers with 81 for four.The hosts lost three late wickets, with captain Hamza Shaikh and Noah Thain quickly following McCann back to the pavilion, but Fonseka stood firm as they closed on 193 for four and with a bit of work to do with one day remaining.McCann hit a record-breaking 174, from just 139 balls, to help secure victory in the second Youth ODI at Hove last week and again dominated the tourists bowling scoring a near run-a-ball half-century.England had lost Jaydn Denly early, pulling Nathan Caldera straight at Praveen Maneesha, but McCann and Fonseka then took centre stage as they scored at better than four runs an over.McCann, who signed his first professional deal at Nottinghamshire last November, appeared set for three figures but was undone when a Vihas Thewmika delivery kept low as he advanced down the wicket.Shaikh followed soon after when he picked out Sheshan Marasinghe off Thewmika before Thain played back to a Maneesha ball that also kept slightly low and skidded into his stumps.Fonseka remained unbeaten on 72, alongside new man and Lancashire team-mate Rocky Flintoff, to leave England U19s 131 runs behind at the close.Sri Lanka captain Kalupahana was the star of the first half of the day to post his milestone century. The 19-year-old looked comfortable in the conditions, typified by the stroke that brought up his century as he eased French backward of point and to the rope.Kalupahana celebrated the milestone by racing towards his team-mates and leaping into the air.The skipper had shared a 99-run stand with Diniru Abeywickramasingha, who became the first of five batsmen caught in the ring during the day when he mis-timed a drive to Flintoff in front of point.Leicestershire’s Alex Green then claimed the prize wicket of Kalupahana with the first ball of his new spell – the second time he has done that in the game – trapped lbw on the crease.Thain enticed Thewmika to drive to Flintoff at wide mid-on after a 45-run eighth-wicket stand with Caldera, who was last man out when he too mis-hit a drive that Shaikh held to hand French his fourth wicket.

على الرغم من أن برشلونة لم يصدر أي إعلان رسمي بعد، إلا أنه من المعروف أن تياجو ألكانتارا سيعود للعمل ضمن الجهاز الفني لهانز فليك.

وكان تياجو ألكانتارا قد حضر بالفعل في المدينة الرياضية لبرشلونة خلال الأيام الأخيرة، على الرغم من أن عقده لم يوقع بالكامل بعد، حيث لا يزال الطرفان يحاولان الاتفاق على التفاصيل.

ويرغب تياجو ألكانتارا في الوقت الحالي، الحصول على عقد مرن مع برشلونة، ويسعى لاتفاق يمكنه من الموازنة بين مسؤولياته المهنية والتزاماته العائلية والشخصية الأخرى.

ويتساءل الكثير من مشجعي برشلونة حول سبب عودة تياجو ألكانتارا لفترة ثانية في الجهاز الفني للبلوجرانا تحت قيادة هانز فليك.

ووفقاً لصحيفة “سبورت” الإسبانية، فإن السبب واضح تماماً وخلال تجربته الأولى مع فليك أصبح تياجو شخصية أساسية في التواصل بفضل إتقانه اللغة الألمانية.

وكان تياجو ألكانتارا قد عمل في كثير من الأحيان كمترجم لهانز فليك، بينما كان يساعد أيضاً في تشكيل عمل لاعبي خط الوسط.

ويهتم تياجو ألكانتارا بتفاصيل مهمة مثل تمركز الجسم وقراءة اللعب وديناميكيات خط الوسط وهي مجالات أتقنها خلال مسيرته الكروية.

وبالنسبة لمدرب برشلونة هانز فليك، فقد كانت هذه الخبرة لا تقدر بثمن وهي أحد الأسباب الرئيسية لحرصه الشديد على استعادة تياجو ألكانتارا لاعب ليفربول وبايرن ميونخ السابق.

وبالإضافة إلى الجانب التكتيكي فإن تياجو ألكانتارا يتمتع بصفات تجعله صاحب حضور قوي في غرفة الملابس، حيث يملك القدرة على التواصل المباشر والصريح مع اللاعبين، ما أكسبه احترام الفريق.

ومع ذلك وبصفته لاعب كرة قدم سابق فقد عانى تياجو من إصابات خطيرة ويفهم ما يمر به لاعبون مثل جافي ومارك بيرنال خلال فترة تعافيهما، لذلك فإن فليك يراه حلقة الوصل المثالية بين الجهاز الفني واللاعبين إلى جانب امتلاكه شخصية قيادية قادرة على مساعدة لاعبي خط الوسط الشباب داخل الملعب وخارجه.

تحدث الإيطالي كارلو أنشيلوتي، المدير الفني لمنتخب البرازيل الأول لكرة القدم، حول تدريبه لـ فينيسيوس جونيور لاعب ريال مدريد الإسباني، ورحيله عن باريس سان جيرمان ومعايير بطل كأس العالم 2026 المقبل.

ويمتد عقد أنشيلوتي مع منتخب البرازيل لمدة عام واحد إذ ينتهي عقب كأس العالم المقبل، والذي من المقرر أن يقام في شهر يونيو 2026 بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية وكندا والمكسيك.

وقال أنشيلوتي من خلال حوار أجراه مع صحيفة “ليكيب” الفرنسية عن معيار المنتخب المتوج بكأس العالم: “أعتقد أن بطل العالم القادم سيكون الفريق الذي يدافع بشكل أفضل، وليس الذي يهاجم بشكل أفضل، هذه هي كرة القدم”.

وعن تدريبه لفينيسيوس جونيور أكمل: “سهولة في تدريب فينيسيوس؟ بالتأكيد، علاقتي به رائعة فهو ينفذ ما أطلبه، لم أواجه أي مشاكل معه أبدًا لكن مع المنتخب الوطني لا داعي للتعامل مع هذه المشاكل كثيرًا، إذا لم يكن اللاعب راضيًا عن دوره فلا مشكلة، سأستدعي لاعبًا آخر، لم أعد مضطرًا لتحمل لاعب طوال الموسم مثلما كنت عليه في النادي”.

وفيما يتعلق بمواجهة إيطاليا في كأس العالم المقبل، أجاب ضاحكًا: “سيكون الأمر معقدًا للغاية لكن البرازيل يجب أن تفوز”.

وعن رحيله من تدريب باريس سان جيرمان أردف: “أردت الرحيل، لم يُرد باريس سان جيرمان رحيلي حتى أن ناصر الخليفي أراد تجديد عقدي، صحيح أن موقف النادي بعد الهزيمة في نيس في ديسمبر لم يكن جيدًا (أعطاه باريس سان جيرمان تحذير قبل مباراة دوري أبطال أوروبا ضد بورتو)، لكن لو كنت أرغب في البقاء، لفعلت ذلك”.

وبشأن بطولة كأس العالم للأندية 2025، استطرد: “لقد لحقت أضرار جسيمة باللاعبين، فكرة هذه البطولة جيدة جدًا ولكن يجب أن تكون جزءً من جدول مباريات مختلف عن هذا، ومع ذلك يريد الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم دائمًا عددًا أكبر من المباريات، ويريد الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم دوري أبطال أوروبا بعدد أكبر من المباريات، والدوريات في معظمها لا ترغب في تقليص عدد الفرق في البطولات من 20 إلى 18 فريقًا، بل إن بعض الاتحادات تريد عددًا أكبر من المباريات”.

وأضاف: “هذا يسبب ضررًا كبيرًا على اللاعبين، إصابات كثيرة ومستوى مباريات أقل بالطبع”.

وعن أسلوبه في كرة القدم، صرح: “الأسلوب لا يعتمد عليك بل على اللاعبين الذين تملكهم، فرض بيب جوارديولا أسلوبًا مع تشافي، وإنييستا، وسيرجيو بوسكيتس، وليونيل ميسي، أعتقد أن يورجن كلوب فرض أيضًا أسلوبًا قائمًا على الحدة والضغط لأنه كان يمتلك لاعبين بهذه الصفات، على العكس لم يكن جوارديولا ليتمكن من فرض أسلوبه على لاعبي كلوب، وكلوب الذي حاول الضغط على تشافي، وبوسكيتس، وإنييستا، وميسي، لم يكن لينجح”.

وحول هدوئه الأكثر من معتاد هل يعتبره أسلوبًا تكتيكيًا أتم: “إنه ليس أسلوبًا تكتيكيًا، قدرتي على إدارة الناس ليس اللاعبين بل الناس”.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca isn’t entirely satisfied with his squad just yet, despite having sealed deals for Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro for around £140 million already, with the tactician looking to strengthen one key area.

The west Londoners have parted company.

UEFA are watching the west Londoners like a hawk right now, amid an agreement that Chelsea need to sell players and end the summer window with a positive balance sheet (Kaveh Solhekol).

The governing body fined Chelsea nearly £27 million last week for breaching FFP rules, and this could rise to north of £50 million if they fail to comply again over the next four years (BBC).

BlueCo will therefore need to be very careful when it comes to green-lighting more signings before deadline day on September 1, but they have made some headway with regard to player sales.

Chelsea sold Kepa Arrizabalaga, Basir Humphreys and Marcus Bettinelli for a total fee of around £19 million, with Noni Madueke also about to join Arsenal in a £50 million deal and Djordje Petrovic on his way to Bournemouth for £25 million (Fabrizio Romano).

These departures, all in all, will accumulate £94 million, including their already-confirmed sales – and that’s not even counting Mathis Amougou’s permanent switch to Strasbourg.

Chelsea are also in the Club World Cup final, which has banked them £80 million worth of prize money.

It seems that Chelsea are actually doing a solid job when it comes to balancing their books, so we cannot rule out the possibility of further incomings just yet, and there are a host of other players who seem likely to be sold in the coming weeks – including Lesley Ugochukwu, João Félix, Renato Veiga, Christopher Nkunku, David Datro Fofana, Armando Broja, Axel Disasi, Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka.

Chelsea not out of Mike Maignan race with AC Milan star keen to join

If Chelsea can make room on their balance sheet, it is believed that AC Milan number one Mike Maignan is still firmly on their radar, coming after negotiations over a move for the Frenchman broke down earlier in the window.

That is according to journalist Graeme Bailey, who told TBR Football that Chelsea could still sign Maignan this summer, and the 29-year-old remains keen on a switch to Stamford Bridge with Maresca wanting a new number one.

“Max Allegri has talked about Mike Maignan staying on as captain, but that has little impact on the situation as he’s yet to sign a new contract yet, meaning he has one year left on his current deal. Chelsea are keeping close tabs on the Maignan situation,” said Bailey.

“We understand that he would like to go to Chelsea. Robert Sanchez was told earlier in the summer that he can go and they offered him to West Ham as part of the Mohammed Kudus deal.

“Enzo Maresca has made it very clear that he wants a new number one. He doesn’t like any of the current options. So yeah, we haven’t heard the end of Mike Maignan to Chelsea this summer, that’s for sure.”

Maignan has been described an “elite” goalkeeper, and it’s hard to argue with that verdict. If Chelsea wish to become genuine title contenders, they need a reliable ever-present between the sticks, and Maignan could be that man.

Given his contractual situation, Milan also won’t be able to demand too high a fee for his services – giving Chelsea a golden opportunity to add both pedigree and experience to Maresca’s backline.

Afghanistan captain hopes the ACB “will try harder to give us opportunities against good teams in the future”

Vishal Dikshit and Daya Sagar08-Sep-2024

Apart from hoping to play Test cricket more frequently going forward, Hashmatullah Shahidi wants “one good home venue” in India instead of going from place to place, as they currently cannot play international cricket back home in Afghanistan.Afghanistan will host New Zealand for a one-off Test starting on Monday in Greater Noida, near Delhi. Their other home Tests since becoming a Full Member have been in Dehradun, Lucknow and Abu Dhabi. Sticking with one home venue will make them a stronger and more effective team in red-ball cricket, Shahidi said.”If you see, India is our home and when we host teams, the other nations have played more cricket than us here,” Shahidi said while addressing the media the day before the Test. “So hopefully we will get one good venue here in India and we stick with that. If we stick with one venue, it will be more effective for us.Related

“And one more thing, if you see our players, they have good record in first-class cricket because we play in our own grounds [in Afghanistan]. We know our own conditions very well. So hopefully that time comes in future that teams come to Afghanistan. Then our average will be even higher than what it is right now and hopefully our cricket board and BCCI give a good venue for us in India and we play a lot of cricket in one venue.”Afghanistan have played nine Tests in their six years at this level, and even though they are slotted to play 22 Tests in the current FTP – from 2023 to 2027 – only a handful are against the top sides. In the current FTP, Afghanistan have so far played against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ireland, and after the New Zealand game, have Tests scheduled against Zimbabwe (six), Ireland (three), India (one), Australia (one) and West Indies (one).”In six years, nine games is not, I cannot say it’s a lot,” Shahidi said. “If we get a lot more chances with the good teams, we will improve, and our cricket board is doing that job. Like with New Zealand, if you see their history of Test cricket and where they are in the rankings right now, it’s a good opportunity for us and hopefully our cricket board will try harder to give us opportunities against good teams in the future. I think if we get more chances on regular basis, we will improve a lot because if we see as a team and as a country, we are brave people and we always accept challenges.It all looked rather wet and forlorn the day before the Test in Greater Noida•Daya Sagar/ESPNcricinfo

“If we get three- or four-match series in one time, I think it will be very good for us as a side. If you look at our past, we get one Test match and we start preparing for that ten days before. So it’s not easy to come to red-ball cricket. Playing matches will make us even better on judging the ball and playing good cricket in red-ball format, compared to playing in the nets. So if we play three-four games back to back I think it will be better.”Ranked 12th in the ICC Test rankings, Afghanistan are a force in the white-ball formats, ranked ninth in ODIs and tenth in T20Is. They took down teams like England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the ODI World Cup last year and made it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup in June this year after beating New Zealand, Australia and Bangladesh.”About Test cricket, 100% we want to improve,” Shahidi said. “We want to show to the world our best format is Test cricket. And I mentioned before that we accept all kinds of challenges, and I am telling the boys also that these opportunities are very big opportunities for us, each and every one to show our skill, to show our talent and make… if I am a batsman, make a big score, big runs. So your name will be among the big names in the future. So if you want that, this is the place and time to show. I think we have that ability to do it and need to show it.”At this stage, it’s not clear how much red-ball action Afghanistan will get from this Test as a weather threat looms over the game, with rain and moderate thunderstorms forecast for the coming week.

Daniel Farke is already making some cutthroat calls at Leeds United ahead of the brand new Premier League season getting underway next month.

Speaking after his side’s hard-fought 0-0 draw with Manchester United out in Stockholm, Farke was quizzed on Patrick Bamford not being available for selection, with it being revealed that the Whites veteran isn’t a part of the West Yorkshire outfit’s first-team plans this forthcoming campaign.

That leaves Joel Piroe, Lukas Nmecha, and Mateo Joseph as the German’s main centre-forward options, but with talk also centring on the fact that Joseph could leave very soon, some more striker recruits must surely be in the offing at Elland Road.

Leeds in race for £7m striker

Whilst Bamford hasn’t aged gracefully over the last couple of seasons, it will still be a big hole to fill by those at Leeds when he does up and leave, considering the 31-year-old can boast a reasonable 38 goal contributions in the Premier League.

However, it’s not as if the one-time England international is irreplaceable, with the Whites now eyeing up Rodrigo Muniz as a possible reinforcement up top from Fulham to soften Bamford’s impending exit.

After all, Muniz is only seven strikes shy of Bamford’s Premier League tally, but Farke and Co. might well explore other avenues away from singling out experienced faces when scouting out another dangerous presence to lead the line.

Indeed, Marc Guiu might well be their desired target in adding some youthful exuberance to proceedings, with football journalist Sebastien Vidal revealing via X that the newly promoted side are in a race to land the Chelsea hotshot on loan alongside Ipswich Town.

Valued at around the £7m mark by Transfermarkt, Guiu might just be what Leeds are craving this summer in landing a high-energy youngster to fight for Piroe’s starting spot, with a jaded Bamford quickly forgotten about in the process.

How Guiu can make Leeds forget about Bamford

Whilst his time at Leeds has petered out now, Bamford was once viewed as a valuable impact substitute at Elland Road, particularly when the Whites were regularly competing in the Premier League.

Leeds’ last two seasons at the daunting level saw the 31-year-old start just 25 games, yet he would still manage to leave his mark on contests with a respectable six strikes finding the back of the net.

Those numbers are nothing to write home about, but Bamford still played a worthwhile role when needed, with Guiu hoping he can offer a similar goal threat if he does make the move from West London to West Yorkshire a reality.

The “exquisite” striker – as he has been labelled by Stamford Bridge great Joe Cole in the past – has shown off his goal-scoring prowess in spurts across his fledgling career to date, with two senior goals tallied up for Barcelona, on top of also proving himself to be a menace for Enzo Maresca’s men on occasion since joining Chelsea.

Much like Bamford was capable of before he tumbled down the pecking order, Guiu has shown he can pop up with a strike out of the blue from limited opportunities, with a quickfire six goals coming about from just four Chelsea starts.

All of those strikes have come in the Europa Conference League, but with Farke’s arm around him, who was responsible for Archie Gray’s crazy rise, Guiu might well be turned into a damaging option off the bench for Leeds to rely upon in the top-flight.

There is no guarantee that Guiu will be a success, but if he can live up to his “nightmare” status – as he’s been branded by football talent scout Jacek Kulig for his relentless energy – at Elland Road, he might just be a lively spark up top that helps Leeds to push away from relegation danger.

Teenager adds 130 to earlier scores of 51 and 154 in what is still only seven innings since his debut

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Sep-2024

Minutes after play in the other key relegation match was abandoned for the day without a ball bowled in Worcester, Nottinghamshire at last resumed their own crucial Vitality County Championship match against Warwickshire at Trent Bridge. A 1pm start meant 110 overs have been lost so far.But, easing home anxiety, the locally-raised, left-handed teenager Freddie McCann compensated with a massively impressive 130 to add to earlier scores of 51 and 154 in what is still only seven innings since his debut.From 55 for 3, Notts recovered to 324 for 6 at the close, Jack Haynes offering a more measured 47 and Kyle Verreynne an increasingly rapid unbeaten 76 in support. On what has settled down into a very benign pitch, Nottinghamshire have already secured two batting points and a draw will now be enough now for both sides to escape the drop.Batting in sunshine with blue sky overhead proved entirely less fraught than the ordeal on a seaming pitch that had seen Notts reach 33 for 2 from the 15.2 overs possible on Thursday. But in a strong crosswind Michael Booth, first change, produced a perfect outswinger for his fifth ball of the day to knock back Joe Clarke’s off stump for 12.The 23-year old Zimbabwean, in just his fourth first-class appearance, proved hit and miss, however, and even Olly Hannon-Dalby lost accuracy as McCann raced to a fifty from 87 balls in a period that brought 99 plundered runs in a dozen overs. The true nature of this pitch had become very clear.Reduced to posting a solitary slip for Craig Miles, Warwickshire still struggled to stem an advance that carried the home side to within 20 minutes of tea before another batter fell. Haynes became an early victim for Danny Briggs’s left-arm spin when beautifully held at slip by Will Rhodes.It ended a 127-run stand at better than a-run-a-ball and the interval, coming after 36.4 of the day’s re-jigged quota of 75.4 overs (the last eight were lost later to bad light), arrived with 211 for 4 on the board and McCann just past his century from 147 balls.Warwickshire tightened up markedly through 55 minutes in the evening but found another partnership beginning to accelerate. Verreyyne, the South Africa wicket-keeper with a Test hundred to his credit, settled into his fourth innings since joining Notts and the first batting point came up what proved an hour from the close.With the fifth wicket having added 98, it was a surprise when, from nowhere it seemed, two men then fell in eight balls, McCann yorked by Miles’s second ball back. Next over, Lyndon James had come and gone for 2, edging to the lone slip as Rhodes, the seventh bowler, reprised his knack of invariably grabbing an early success.But the 300 came up, and a second batting point with it, and if Warwickshire can claim their final bowling point on Saturday and also pass 300 themselves, they would not go down whatever happens in either relegation game.Away from play, eyes remain on a threatening forecast – the weather may yet have the last say. With only two days left for Lancashire at Worcester, where just 26 overs have proved possible, they have many miles to make up and rain is feared both there and in Nottingham on Sunday afternoon. Notts and Warwickshire supporters may be breathing more easily at the half-way point of this final round.

Jake Lehmann and Alex Carey made important second-innings runs to leave Victoria a tough chase

AAP03-Nov-2024

Offspinning allrounder Ben Manenti starred with bat and ball to leave South Australia well placed heading into the final day of the Sheffield Shield match against Victoria in Adelaide.Victoria’s openers got through six overs unscarred, requiring a further 337 runs for victory. South Australia were able to declare late in the day and set Victoria a challenging 346-run victory target thanks to some typically lusty hitting from Manenti.Related

Three huge sixes highlighted Manenti’s 62 not out from 71 balls.Coming to the crease with the home side having lost 3 fpr 4 and looking wobbly at 176 for 6, Manenti top-scored for his side having also completed career-best bowling figures of 5 for 73 earlier in the day.Victoria resumed on day three at 195 for 7, with Manenti having picked up four top-order wickets. But it was Harry Conway who claimed the most important dismissal during the morning session in dismissing Sam Harper.The wicketkeeper revived Victoria’s innings on day two and, after resuming on 68, had reached 89 when trapped lbw by Conway. He earlier knocked over Peter Siddle and Manenti ended the innings by bowling Doug Warren to leave Victoria with a 75-run first innings deficit.South Australia’s turn at the crease began with Henry Hunt caught behind without scoring for a second successive second innings duck for the otherwise heavy-scoring opener.Conversely Jake Lehmann posted a well-compiled 60 having been dismissed for a duck in the first innings. There were runs also for in-form Alex Carey, with the Test gloveman now boasting a Shield average of 88 after three matches of the season.Veteran paceman Siddle was the best of the Victorian bowlers for the second time in the match with 4 for 63, while rookie spinner Warren returned 3 for 74.
