Unbroken 197-run stand with Kane Williamson leaves Northants in the mire

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay22-Jul-2025

Middlesex 319 for 1 (Holden 137*, Williamson 88*, Robson 57) vs NorthamptonshireMiddlesex’s Max Holden plundered an unbeaten century as he and New Zealand star Kane Williamson piled up runs on the opening day of their Rothesay County Championship clash against Northamptonshire.Holden, opening to accommodate Williamson’s red-ball debut for the county at number three, batted right through the day for 137, his third ton of the season, with the pair adding an uninterrupted 197 to reach 319 for one at Merchant Taylors’ School.Sam Robson (57) shared a stand of 122 with Holden before Williamson – sampling his first taste of Championship cricket since he featured for Yorkshire in 2018 – weighed in with an unbeaten 88.It was a testing day for Northamptonshire, with Ben Sanderson their only successful bowler after they inserted the hosts in overcast conditions, while Rob Keogh sustained a serious-looking finger injury attempting to catch Williamson’s ferocious drive.With Northamptonshire skipper Luke Procter absent for personal reasons, Lewis McManus took the reins for the first time in red-ball cricket and fulfilled his first duty by winning the toss.However, his bowlers went through the morning session wicketless, despite a tricky opening spell by Sanderson – with Holden taking his time to settle, facing 20 deliveries before he got off the mark with a single.First change Dom Leech struggled for consistency and Robson took advantage to steer him for successive fours as Middlesex picked up the pace, with Holden also unfurling a couple of classy straight drives to the boundary.Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal entered the attack as early as the 15th over, extracting turn as he began with two maidens, but Holden danced down the wicket to take him on, driving and sweeping with confidence.Having reached lunch with 90 on the board, the Middlesex pair advanced their partnership into three figures and Robson won the race to his half-century, pulling Liam Guthrie for two boundaries in an over.But the opener departed in the next, caught behind leg-glancing Sanderson and that slowed the batting side’s progress, although Williamson opened his account with a sweetly-driven cover boundary off Liam Guthrie.Holden moved on to 50 with a swiped hook that flew to the rope, but soon afterwards the left-hander survived a sharp chance to short leg off Chahal – now operating in an all-spin attack alongside Keogh.Displaying exquisite timing and placement, especially on the off side, Williamson mastered the bowling and progressed to his half-century just three balls ahead of Holden’s hundred, courtesy of a back-foot punch for four off Chahal.The Indian spinner returned for another spell earlier than expected after tea, with Keogh forced from the field after making a valiant but unsuccessful attempt to catch Williamson’s rocket drive off his own bowling.Holden pummelled Leech for another four to lift the partnership beyond 150 and, following the last of the day’s three brief rain stoppages, he and Williamson resumed the Middlesex offensive.Williamson cut Saif Zaib to the fence and then lifted his next ball effortlessly over the top for six but, with the new ball due and the light continuing to worsen, the umpires called a halt to proceedings.

Just a matter of weeks ago Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim cut a forlorn figure.

He looked ready to give up. The Red Devils were a sinking ship and Amorim was being engulfed by the stress and pressures of being the top man at Old Trafford.

Yet, he has turned a corner and all of a sudden, United look in the hunt for a top four berth, pouncing on the inconsistencies of the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in recent weeks.

United have now only lost one of their last six matches and have only dropped points in one of their last four outings. It’s an amazing run of form considering how the Amorim era has played out to date.

The Portuguese’s side still have room for improvement, of course they do, but it’s impossible to deny that he isn’t a good coach. He has, after all, managed to revive the careers of Luke Shaw and in-form midfielder Casemiro.

Yet, while the Brazilian has now found the net in successive matches, his companion in defence, Diogo Dalot continues to struggle. United have improved but they still have issues.

Why Dalot has become a big problem for Manchester United

When Amorim was first given the job, he came to English football with a clear style and philosophy. He traditionally plays with a three-man defence, utilising wing-backs to provide the width.

That area of the field is a pivotal one for the manager and it beggars belief that they haven’t strengthened more there.

Amad Diallo has found a home at right wing-back, notably scoring in the draw with Nottingham Forest and striking up a fine partnership with Bryan Mbeumo down the flanks.

Sadly, the left flank continues to be a big problem. Patrick Dorgu is the only senior wing-back that INEOS have signed since Amorim was appointed but the young Dane has not covered himself in much glory since joining.

As a result, alternative solutions have been sought, one of which has been Dalot.

The Portugal international has featured at left-back of left wing-back on 34 occasions in Man United colours but it’s safe to say he’s far more competent on the right.

Dalot was particularly poor at The City Ground a few days ago with the Manchester Evening News’ Steven Railston handing the defender a 3/10 rating, writing that ‘there are always question marks around Dalot when he plays on the left side and he was exposed at various stages of the contest.’

Dorgu has by no means been much better on the left but he is at least more natural in that position and will give Amorim the rampaging style of play he prefers from his wing-backs.

So, what’s the solution? Well, perhaps there’s one lying in wait at Carrington.

Identifying Man United's Diogo Dalot solution

The most obvious solution here is to exclusively field the 26-year-old on the right, but with Amad having made that position his own in 2025/26, it really does feel as though Dalot is on borrowed time at Old Trafford.

Couple that with some of the young talent United have coming through and the future certainly looks bleak for Dalot.

One talent coming through is Diego Leon and they must start to hand him more minutes before they risk an Alvaro Carreras repeat.

The wing-back has gone around the houses to reach Real Madrid, going via Preston North End and suffering from Erik ten Hag’s rejection before ending up at the world’s most famous football club.

Ten Hag never played him. In fact, Carreras never featured in a single competitive game for United before leaving. That said, he’s been able to thrive away from Manchester and is now seriously catching the eye for Madrid after leaving Benfica behind in a deal worth a whopping £43m.

The fact he left United for just £5m must now leave a seriously bad taste in the mouth of those at Old Trafford.

Carreras has been in the news of late after scoring his first Real goal just last week, belting the ball home in quite some fashion.

The 22-year-old has become a mainstay in Xabi Alonso’s side this season, starting every LaLiga game and playing more minutes (981) than any outfield player in the Bernabeu ranks.

As some have suggested on social media, he is now regarded as “one of the best full-backs in the world”, notably ranking inside the top 2% of wide defenders in Europe’s top five leagues for progressive passes per 90 minutes and among the best 9% for interceptions per 90, according to FBRef.

What might have been for United, eh, but perhaps they have another version of Carreras in the academy?

Step forward Leon, signed from Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno for just £3.3m in the summer. An exciting wing-back, he is yet to feature competitively for United but looks like he has the potential to thrive in the Premier League before too long.

For the U23s this season, the 18-year-old has played just three times but he’s already found the back of the net. Like Carreras’ goal for Madrid, it was a remarkable effort too.

The teenager has been in the matchday squad in the Premier League on three occasions and it is surely only a matter of time before we see him in action. After all, Dalot’s position is under threat and Dorgu is yet to convince many.

So, what’s so exciting about the young Paraguayan? Well, as analyst Ben Mattinson outlines, he is a “powerhouse”.

Revealing more about the wing-back, Mattinson noted that “the standout trait of Leon is his physicality”, adding that “with a broad, compact build he’s able to dominate duels with real aggression despite his young age.”

But, Leon isn’t just about winning duels, something that is vital in the English top-flight. The defender is also strong going forward. Mattinson further commented that Leon “is a powerful runner who takes on players with explosiveness and directness.”

So, he’s got the powerful running style that Dorgu possesses but pivotally, he also looks like a very strong defender.

Whisper it quietly but the teen looks as though he’s got all the raw attributes needed to be a success in English football. Watch out Dalot and Dorgu, Leon is coming for your place.

Pedro Geromel está prestes a completar 10 anos no Grêmio, uma década com história de títulos e idolatria. Por outro lado, o futuro do atleta segue indefinido, com o contrato se encerrando no dia 31 de dezembro.

➡️ Siga o Lance! no WhatsApp e acompanhe em tempo real as principais notícias do esporte

No dia 23 de dezembro de 2013, o Tricolor oficializou a contratação de um desconhecido: o zagueiro Pedro Geromel, do Mallorca, da Espanha. O atleta, na época com 28 anos, havia, até então, feito toda sua carreira profissional na Europa, e chegava para atuar pela primeira vez no Brasil.

+Fim da novela? Renato Gaúcho indica permanência no Grêmio para 2024

O zagueiro já identificado com o clube, não teve muitas oportunidades nesta temporada por conta das lesões, mas tem o desejo de permanecer no Imortal, assim como o clube tem o desejo da permanência do atleta. 

Em entrevista ao GE, Geromel disse querer terminar sua carreira no Grêmio, onde tem toda uma história.

– Conversamos, entendo a situação que estou, não vou ganhar o quanto eu ganho, vamos ter que ter uma readaptação salarial porque não estou jogando como jogava antes, é natural. Se for do interesse, gostaria de continuar. Sempre deixei claro que quero terminar a carreira no Grêmio. Primeiro só iam definir a parte do treinador, depois sentar e conversar. Quando os dois querem, não tem como não acontecer – disse o zagueiro.

INFLUÊNCIA DE RONALDINHO GAÚCHO

A chegada de Geromel à equipe tem um ponto curioso. O jogador estava no Mallorca e atuava com Giovanni dos Santos, mexicano revelado pelo Barcelona. Esse, por sua vez, havia jogado com Ronaldinho, que acabou como “intermediário” na negociação

Geromel contou à Rádio Gaúcha que estava jantando com o companheiro de time, que lhe disse que Ronaldinho queria o telefone do zagueiro. Ele ficou espantado: “Está de sacanagem?” Mas depois entendeu que o objetivo era que um dirigente do Imortal queria o contato para tentar uma negociação.

– Nunca falei com Ronaldinho sobre isso. Meu empresário Mayckel Portela jogou com Ronaldinho na base do Grêmio. Ele foi a Mallorca a pedido do Rui Costa, que era diretor esportivo do Grêmio. Tinha me visto jogar na Alemanha e na Espanha e tinha interesse em me repatriar para jogar em 2013, quando o Luxemburgo era o treinador – revelou o zagueiro.

Na ocasião, o clube espanhol não liberou o zagueiro, e o negócio não avançou. Quase um ano depois, porém, Geromel desembarcou em Porto Alegre para dar início a uma linda história.

Com 384 partidas com a camisa 3 do Grêmio, Geromel ocupa o 13º lugar dos jogadores com mais aparições pelo clube. Se somar mais 40, entra no top-10. Para isso, porém, precisa confirmar a renovação por mais um ano. A situação segue indefinida.

O SEU LADO TORCEDOR E A POSSÍVEL APOSENTADORIA

O 2023 de Geromel foi difícil. Logo na pré-temporada, ainda em janeiro, sofreu uma lesão no joelho esquerdo. A recuperação foi mais demorada que o esperado, e a estreia na temporada aconteceu somente em agosto. No total, foram sete jogos do zagueiro. 

Sematuar, coube a Geromel assumir outro lado, o de torcedor. Enquanto se recuperava, levava os filhos à Arena para acompanhar as partidas, uma experiência diferente e especial. 

– Esse ano tive a infelicidade, ou felicidade, de ir com meus filhos assistir muitos jogos. Vou com eles na Arena, torcem, cantam as músicas, alentam. Preferia estar em campo, a agonia de fora é surreal, mas foi muito legar ter vivido isso com meus filhos – exaltou.

Embora ainda não tenha definido sua situação no clube, Geromel se mostrou otimista com um desfecho positivo. Chegou a confirmar que “dinheiro não é problema”, visto que uma das questões envolvendo a renovação passa por reduzir seu salário.

– Esse ano tive uma lesão muito difícil no joelho e agora estou 100% recuperado, mas só agora estou recuperado. Também não queria parar de jogar na maca, não é legal de se fazer. Tenho essa vontade, essa ambição de me aposentar jogando – afirmou.

O atual vínculo do zagueiro se encerra no dia 31 de dezembro. O futuro de Geromel será definido nos próximos dias. A definição vai indicar se os 10 anos do atleta no clube terá mais um capítulo, embora a história de um dos maiores jogadores da história do Grêmio já esteja escrita há muito tempo.

India went into the tea break at 304 for 6, having gained a healthy lead of 281

Sealed with a kiss! Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his sixth Test ton•Getty Images

Tea Yashasvi Jaiswal struck his sixth Test century to ensure that England will need to break a long-standing record at The Oval to seal a 3-1 series win. Jaiswal cut a threadbare seam attack into oblivion during his 118 as India built a substantial lead, leaving England facing the challenge of becoming the first team in the venue’s history to chase a fourth-innings target in excess of 275.In the absence of Chris Woakes, England were left to rotate a three-man seam attack – with no frontline spinner – throughout an extended second session, with the exception of three overs of Joe Root’s offspin. They were much more threatening than they had been on Saturday morning, but India continued to rattle along at more than four runs per over as Jaiswal made hay.Gus Atkinson struck with the first ball after lunch, trapping Shubman Gill on the knee roll, and made life difficult for Karun Nair throughout his innings of 17. Nair was struck on the glove first ball, was dropped by Harry Brook at second slip – a tough chance, with Zak Crawley diving across him – and eventually caught behind as Atkinson found some extra bounce from a length.But Jaiswal pressed on, reaching his hundred – his fourth against England, and his second of this series – with a scampered single through backward point. It was a fitting way to bring it up: 72 of his first 100 runs came behind square on the off side, and he rode his luck as he cut, dabbed, steered and slashed England’s quicks past, through or over the slip cordon.He was given yet another life when Ben Duckett missed a tough chance at leg gully, but Jamie Overton held onto one at deep third to send him on his way for 118. England thought they had Ravindra Jadeja lbw when Josh Tongue hit him on the boot, but he reviewed successfully and steered them to the tea break along with Dhruv Jurel.

واجه داني كارفاخال قائد ريال مدريد بداية صعبة هذا الموسم، بعد تعرضه للعديد من الإصابات والمشاكل البدنية في الأسابيع الأخيرة.

وكان الظهير الأيمن المخضرم قد عاد للملاعب في أكتوبر بعد غيابه لفترة، وشارك ضد برشلونة في أول كلاسيكو هذا الموسم.

وتعرض كارفاخال لمشكلة جديدة في الركبة مما استدعى لخضوعه لجراحة بالمنظار، وأشارت مؤشرات أولية إلى أنه لن يلعب مرة أخرى في عام 2025.

ومع ذلك، ووفقاً لصحيفة “Ok Diario” فإن الظهير الأيمن المخضرم لريال مدريد داني كارفاخال يعمل بجد في مركز تدريبات النادي للعودة في أقرب وقت ممكن.

ويستهدف كارفاخال العودة ضد ديبورتيفو ألافيس في الدوري الاسباني يوم 14 ديسمبر أو لقاء إشبيلية في المباراة التالية على ملعب سانتياجو برنابيو والتي ستكون الأخيرة لريال مدريد هذا العام.

ويتبع كارفاخال صاحب ال33 عاماً خطة صارمة تحت إشراف الجهاز الطبي لريال مدريد، وتقدمت حالته في الأسابيع الأخيرة بشكل ملحوظ ويمكن أن يتم تقليص فترة تعافيه.

Arsenal and Mikel Arteta have been handed a major injury update on club captain Martin Odegaard ahead of their clash with Tottenham on Sunday.

The Gunners welcome their fierce to the Emirates Stadium for the 198th edition of the North London derby, but Arteta faces perhaps his most challenging selection dilemma of the season after news that Gabriel Maglhaes could be out for at least a month with a thigh injury.

The Premier League leaders enter this weekend’s face-off sitting four points clear at the summit, maintaining their position despite a recent 2-2 draw at Sunderland that ended their remarkable 10-match winning streak across all competitions.

That minor setback pales in comparison to losing Gabriel, who’s been both the cornerstone of their water-tight backline and a major threat from set pieces all season.

Burnley 0-2 Arsenal

Slavia Prague 0-3 Arsenal

Sunderland 2-2 Arsenal

Initial medical assessments suggest the Brazilian centre-back could miss anywhere from one to two months of action, potentially sidelining him until mid-January.

Gabriel’s absence creates a massive void at the heart of Arsenal’s defence, with the 27-year-old having been instrumental in the north Londoners conceding just five goals across their opening eleven league matches.

Arteta breathed a sigh of relief when Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Riccardo Calafiori is able to play against Tottenham after his own injury scare, but the Spaniard will still be forced to deploy an unfamiliar centre-back pairing of Cristhian Mosquera or Piero Hincapie alongside William Saliba.

Arsenal’s attacking contingent also faces uncertainty heading into the derby.

Viktor Gyökeres remains doubtful with a hamstring problem he sustained against Burnley, whilst there’s ambiguity surrounding Gabriel Martinelli’s fitness after missing recent games with a muscle issue.

Kai Havertz’s situation looks particularly concerning after Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann confirmed the midfielder suffered a minor relapse in his recovery from a knee injury, potentially delaying his return until nearer the end of 2025.

Noni Madueke appears most likely to return from the injured quintet, reportedly having come close to making the squad for Sunderland before medical staff opted for caution.

Odegaard’s fitness adds yet another layer of intrigue.

Norway manager Stale Solbakken suggested the midfielder remains “some distance away” from returning, yet Odegaard himself offered more optimism — stating his injury is “starting to look better.”

Of course, neither of these statements offer clarity about his Spurs involvement, but insider HandOfArsenal has some very good news on that front.

Martin Odegaard in contention to play Tottenham after Arsenal update

According to the reliable Emirates Stadium source, there is a ‘possibility’ that Odegaard will be available to play against Tottenham this Sunday — giving Arteta some real encouragement that he could be about to welcome his chief creator back into the fold.

Odegaard’s return would alleviate the creative burden currently shouldered by Bukayo Saka.

As so many attackers deal with fitness issues, Saka has been forced to carry much of Arsenal’s responsibility going forward, so the boost of Odegaard’s potential presence cannot be overstated following what has been a stop-start, injury-ridden 2025 for the player.

The psychological boost of having their captain available once again could undoubtedly be huge as well.

In a match where Arsenal will field an unfamiliar defensive partnership and potentially be without several key attackers, Odegaard’s return would provide some much-needed stability.

The 26-year-old hasn’t played since coming off against West Ham in October, having only just returned from a shoulder problem, so he’ll be dying to take to the field once more in one of Arsenal’s biggest games of the season.
