Europa League Live Stream
The UEFA Europa League (previously called the UEFA Cup) is an annual association football cup competition organised by UEFA since 1971 for eligible European football clubs. It is the second most prestigious European club football contest after the UEFA Champions League. Clubs qualify for the competition based on their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions.
Previously called the UEFA Cup, the competition has been known as the UEFA Europa League since the 2009–10 season,[2][3] following a change in format. For UEFA footballing records purposes, the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League are considered the same competition, with the change of name being simply a rebranding.[4]
The competition replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup; however, as the competition was not organised by UEFA, for their records purposes it is not considered a continuation of the same tournament.[5] A prime example is Leeds United, who were twice winners of the Fairs Cup, but are not recognised by UEFA as having won any European trophies.
In 1999, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was abolished and merged with the UEFA Cup.[6] For the 2004–05 competition a group stage was added prior to the knock out stage. The 2009 rebranding included a merge with the UEFA Intertoto Cup, producing an enlarged competition format, with an expanded group stage and changed qualifying criteria. The winner of the UEFA Europa League qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup.

Television audiences in India and England were deprived of the first three overs of the opening match of the five-match ODI series between the two teams in Hyderabad, as well as the conventional pre-match programming. The 15-minute blackout of live feed came about as the result of a dispute over the payment of a bank guarantee from broadcaster Neo Sports, a part of Nimbus Communications Ltd, to Prasar Bharati, the government agency responsible for uplinking live telecasts out of India. In a statement released at the end of the Indian innings, Neo Sports stated that an "unreasonable demand" from Prasar Bharti had caused the delay in the uplinking facilities being made available to them.
Early on in the telecast, the delay had been put down to "technical issues" but NeoCricket's mid-match statement alleged that the 2.5-over blackout took place because Prasar Bharati had demanded the payment of a bank guarantee far earlier than had originally been agreed upon in a draft agreement. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in New Delhi, which oversees Prasar Bharati, only approved the uplinking facilties just before the start of the first ball.
The lack of television feed meant that for the first 15 minutes of the match there were no live pictures from the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad to Neo Cricket, the rights holders, to Doordarshan for terrestrial coverage in India, to Sky TV in Britain as well as to the BCCI's website, which promised live streaming. This was India's first fixture at home both after their World Cup victory as well as the disastrous tour of England.

The latest round of Barclays Premier League fixtures has thrown up some exciting encounters.
The programme kicks off with a mouth-watering meeting between arch-rivals Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield.
Manchester City will be aiming to capitalise on any slip-up by United as they host Aston Villa and newly-promoted sides Norwich City and Swansea City go head-to-head at Carrow Road.
The day's programme concludes with Chelsea taking on Everton at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool v Man Utd

Bangladesh vs West Indies, 1st ODI Live Stream
25 overs West Indies 111 for 0 (Simmons 65*, Samuels 22*) v Bangladesh
Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Lendl Simmons made his seventh ODI half-century in ten innings to lead West Indies to a strong start in the first one-dayer against Bangladesh in Mirpur. Adrian Barath provided him solid support early on before a hamstring injury forced him off the field in the first one-dayer to follow the 'no runners' rule.
The other rule changes didn't seem to have much impact on the match - there was a new ball from either end but there was little movement or spin on offer - and the bowling Powerplay was again taken as early as the rules allowed.
Simmons and Barath were watchful early on, making only 11 in the first five overs despite a gift of five overthrows. The first boundary off the bat wasn't an entirely convincing one as Barath barely managed to poke the ball past the keeper.
Simmons was clearly getting fidgety with the slow progress: in the sixth over, he was hurried into a pull which was top-edged just wide of the bowler, then he mistimed a straight drive with which he still managed to find the boundary, before jumping outside leg as he looked to crash a short ball through off without managing to connect. He punched the air in frustration after missing out on a cut in the next over, but showed how good he could be with fours through cover off the back foot and then the front foot in the over.
Barath was mainly taking singles, letting Simmons do most of the scoring as the partnership reached 50. His second boundary was a powerful drive past long-off in the 14th over, but he then had to leave the field with hamstring trouble. There was some concern that Simmons could also join him retired hurt after being hit on the thigh by a fielder's throw - which if it had hit the stumps would have run out Simmons - and left him writhing on the ground in pain. Simmons recovered though, after some treatment from the physio.

Bangladesh vs West Indies 1st ODI at Mirpur
1st ODI: Bangladesh v West Indies at Dhaka - Oct 13
West Indies 160/0 (34.1/50 ov)
Team news
Pollard should come in for Danza Hyatt in the West Indies middle order, while Bishoo could slot in for Carlos Brathwaite. Given the frailty of the batting line-up against spin, Kieran Powell might feature in team discussions as well.
West Indies (probable): 1 Adrian Barath, 2 Lendl Simmons, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 7 Andre Russell, 8 Darren Sammy (capt), 9 Ravi Rampaul, 10 Devendra Bishoo, 11 Anthony Martin / Kemar Roach
Bangladesh are unlikely to alter their combination, though Shuvagoto Hom could push Alok Kapali out of the XI. Mahmudullah's continued absence should give Nasir Hossain another chance to come good.
Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Shakib Al Hasan, 4 Mohammad Ashraful, 5 Alok Kapali, 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), 7 Naeem Islam, 8 Nasir Hossain, 9 Abdur Razzak, 10 Shafiul Islam, 11 Rubel Hossain

Safina quits tennis
Safina, 25, topped the WTA rankings as recently as two years ago but debilitating back injuries have kept her out of action this season and she had been on an indefinite break.
"Dinara has decided to end her career," Safin - himself a former Grand Slam winner who retired last season - said. "She has taken the decision relatively well.
“She considers it just to be the end of a period in her life.
"Everything is all right with her health. She feels good in everyday life, but (the back injury means) she simply can't play tennis professionally any more."

RCB v NSW, 1st semi-final, CLT20, Bangalore
Toss Royal Challengers Bangalore chose to bowl v New South Wales
Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Two days after having successfully chased 215, Royal Challengers Bangalore chose to chase again as opposed to set the pace in a potentially explosive semi-final. They even strengthened their batting by bringing in Mohammad Kaif, a batsman who hardly bowls, to replace the injured J Syed Mohammad, a specialist bowler. They also continued to trust the left-arm medium-pacer S Aravind, who went for 69 runs in the last match.
New South Wales, playing in Bangalore for the first time, went in with the same XI that helped them qualify for the semi-final. They persisted with Stuart Clark, who was impressive on the slow Chennai surface but was not certain to keep his place on the true and bouncy Bangalore track.
Royal Challengers Bangalore: 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Saurabh Tiwary, 5 Mayank Agarwal, 6 Mohammad Kaif, 7 Daniel Vettori (capt.), 8 Raju Bhatkal, 9 Arun Karthik (wk), 10 S Aravind, 11 Dirk Nannes
New South Wales: 1 David Warner, 2 Shane Watson, 3 Steven Smith, 4 Moises Henriques, 5 Daniel Smith (wk), 6 Simon Katich (capt.), 7 Ben Rohrer, 8 Steve O'Keefe, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Pat Cummins, 11 Stuart Clark

MI v Somerset, 2nd semi-final, CLT20, Chennai
Out of Mumbai Indians' 23 contracted players, eight were declared unfit for the Champions League - Yadav, Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Dhawal Kulkarni, Munaf Patel, Ali Murtaza, Aditya Tare and Pawan Suyal. That meant the final 14-member squad had an equal number of Indian and overseas players, without a buffer to handle any potential injury to an Indian player. The organisers then allowed Mumbai Indians to field five overseas cricketers in their playing XI, though other other IPL sides continued to be limited to four.
Mumai Indians suffered another blow during the tournament when South African wicketkeeper-batsman Davy Jacobs was ruled out after picking up a hip injury. With him out of the squad and Yadav returning, Mumbai Indians have six foreign players and eight Indians.
Despite their injury problems, Mumbai Indians were the first side to make it through to the semi-finals, where they will face Somerset on October 8 in Chennai.

India in England Team
"It's been a good few days," Bairstow told reporters in Hyderabad, the venue for England's first warm-up game ahead of the five-match ODI series. "I've not been here long but it is definitely an experience. Without a doubt it's happened more quickly than I thought. It's a pleasant surprise. It's a fantastic opportunity, every day and training session. Hopefully I'll take it with both hands."
Bairstow, 22, has kept wicket for Yorkshire but is yet to do so for England with Craig Kieswetter being the preferred choice. However, Bairstow will keep wicket in England's first warm-up game in the absence of Kieswetter, who is representing Somerset in the ongoing Champions League Twenty20. "I'd like to think I could be selected for England as a batsman but everyone wants to have a 'keeper who can bat'," Bairstow said.
