Only that magical 438 game, 20 years ago, trumps it.Pavan Rathnayake, Dasun Shanaka and Avishka Fernando were the headliners, somehow turning it around for Sri Lanka after they were reduced to 24 for two. Rathnayake top-scored with 130, Fernando struck 97, and Shanaka – with 97 of his own – was the most brutal of the lot.

After being taken apart with the ball, his revenge act included eight sixes. None of the trio were there at the close, as England suddenly found themselves back in it. Continue reading...

Another man describes the cup, with certainty, as “a tapering, slightly green glass”. A third subject, sounding less certain, suggests it was a clear Ikea glass, six inches tall, adding: “You see into it, which is important.” Continue reading...

Shola Ameobi: ‘I thought: how can I be most useful to Newcastle? Then the cog started turning’

From experiencing racism growing up in Newcastle to becoming a derby hero and now a member of the executive team, the former striker has been on a remarkable journey“There were times where I feared for my life as a kid, being harassed and chased by different groups of people,” Shola Ameobi says.

“There were situations where I had to sprint to get away from groups of lads who didn’t like me because of what I looked like.”Ameobi is recalling growing up in Newcastle during the late 1980s and 1990s, having moved from Nigeria aged six. There were, he says, “lots of moments” like that.

“It was almost as if I had to hide myself to be able to do what I love to do. It wasn’t a very nice feeling, having to worry about getting from A to B. It was just part of my world. I had to be more aware of my surroundings and what I was doing.”

‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’: hospice workers share 12 lessons about life and death

Hospice and end-of-life workers discuss what they’ve learned from their work and patients in their last moments“Hospice” can be a loaded term.
