Sussex 172 for 2 (Evans 52*, Wright 48) beat Middlesex 171 for 5 (Morgan 47, Hafeez 48) by eight wickets

Laurie Evans' second half-century of the T20 campaign saw Sussex canter to an eight-wicket victory over Middlesex at Uxbridge.

Evans plundered three sixes and four fours, reaching his half-century from 25 balls when depositing the winning hit into the crowd, as the visitors chased down a target of 172 with four overs to spare.

Sharks' skipper Luke Wright, who had scored a century against Middlesex at Lord's in the Royal London Cup back in May, had earlier blasted 48 in 27 balls, while Alex Carey was unbeaten on 41.

The victory all but clinched Sussex's quarter-final place, as they sit three points clear in the standings, and was the fifth time this season they had put one over today's opposition.

Middlesex remain fourth, at least for a few hours, but this is the first time in the competition this season they have lost back-to-back games. Dawid Malan had no hesitation in choosing to bat first and he and Paul Stirling got the hosts off to a strong start.

Stirling struck a maximum in the first over as he finally found some form in the format this season.

Malan was even more fluent at the other end, striking some sumptuous trademark cover drives as they rattled up a stand of 57 before Stirling skied one to Laurie Evans at cover off Ollie Robinson from the final ball of the powerplay.

Sadly, for the hosts, Malan followed soon afterwards, hitting Will Beer's worst delivery of the day straight down the throat of deep square.

Eoin Morgan kept up the momentum, England's one-day captain clearing the players' pavilion with one maximum off Danny Briggs.

Mohammed Hafeez also applied the long handle on his way to 48, just clearing the ropes with successive sixes off Beer.

At 141 for 2 off 15 overs, 200 looked within reach, but Morgan holed out at long-off from the bowling of Reece Topley and from there the innings lost all impetus, as just 30 runs were scraped off the last five overs.

A total of 171 looked short of par, especially when Sharks openers Phil Salt and Wright took three boundaries from Tom Helm's first over.

Toby Roland-Jones was greeted with similar disdain, Wright pulling the former England quick for six over cow corner and successive fours as the 50 came up in four overs.

Hafeez spurned a tough caught and bowled chance to reprieve Wright on 27 and he celebrated by smashing Nathan Sowter for six over mid-wicket in the following over.

It was Stirling who made the breakthrough when Salt lofted him to George Scott in the deep, the allrounder juggling the ball before clinging on.

Wright continued to plunder the home attack until he miscued another big hit and was caught and bowled by Steven Finn.

His dismissal did little to stop the carnage, Evans and Carey sharing a stand of 81 in just seven overs as they sped to victory.

NEW YORK -- Coco Gauff and Caty McNally will get a chance to play doubles at the US Open and add to their winning streak as a team.

Gauff, the 15-year-old based in Florida who announced herself to the world at Wimbledon, and McNally, a 17-year-old from Ohio, were granted a doubles wild card by the U.S. Tennis Association on Saturday.

Each previously was given a wild card for the singles main draw, too. The tournament begins Monday.

A year ago, Gauff and McNally won a US Open junior title in doubles. They then picked up the first WTA trophy for each by winning the doubles title at the Citi Open in Washington this month.

McNally also reached her first tour-level semifinal in singles at that hard-court tournament.

Gauff's big breakthrough in singles came at the All England Club this year. She became the youngest qualifier in Wimbledon history, then beat Venus Williams in the first round and made it to the fourth round before losing to eventual champion Simona Halep.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Inside linebacker Paul Worrilow abruptly left the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, one day after signing with the team.

Worrilow decided to go home to his wife, who is eight months pregnant and bedridden, a source told ESPN. He will reevaluate his future in the NFL after she gives birth, the source said.

On Friday, Worrilow passed his physical with the Ravens and signed a one-year deal. He then wasn't present for Baltimore's Saturday morning practice.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh spoke to Worrilow on Friday night.

"He was all ready and excited to go, so I'm surprised," Harbaugh said after Saturday's practice. "I assume he's trying to work and figure some things out, what he wants to do, he and his family. Every person has the right to do that. So, we'll see what he decides. We'll respect it, whatever it is."

The Ravens were hoping Worrilow would provide experienced depth at inside linebacker as well as on special teams.

Worrilow, 29, was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He was coming back from a torn ACL, which ended his 2018 season.

After going undrafted out of Delaware, Worrilow led the Atlanta Falcons in tackles in 2013 and 2014. Over his five NFL seasons, he has made 52 starts and totaled 415 tackles.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — This time of year in the Midwest is when the harshly cold winds of winter turn into the brutally hot and humid days of summer.

But as the calendar flips to August in the state of Ohio, it means two things: racing season is coming to a close and its time to start practice for the Ohio State University football team, which afflicts the native population with the same near-insanity that high school and college basketball impact its next-door neighbors in Indiana.

This is where it gets interesting for 19-year-old Colton Herta, a Southern California kid from Valencia, far removed from the cold autumn winds of Ohio.

There is this college football game played every November that pits the Ohio State Buckeyes against “that school up north,” as former coach Woody Hayes used to call the University of Michigan.

At times, it has become a Herta family battle because Colton Herta’s father, Bryan, attended Ohio State and Colton’s grandpa went to Michigan.

“They are so against each other,” Colton Herta said. “They are always placing bets on all the different football and basketball games. Whenever there is a game, he (Bryan Herta) is cheering for Ohio State.

“I don’t really care who wins, it’s just whoever I want to wind up more that day — my dad or my grandfather.”

Bryan Herta began his racing career driving for Ohio-based teams, such as Tasman Racing and Team Rahal, when it was based in Hilliard, Ohio. He also made a lot of laps at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Bryan Herta is a Honda team owner in the NTT IndyCar Series. He is one of the team owners of the No. 98 Honda driven by Marco Andretti. Herta is also a two-time Indianapolis 500-winning team owner.

The first was in 2011 when the late Dan Wheldon won the 100th anniversary Indianapolis 500. Five years later, rookie driver Alexander Rossi was at the wheel for Herta in the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500.

Back when Herta’s career started as a driver, Ohio played a major role in his career and his life.

“I lived in Ohio for the better part of six or seven years,” Herta explained. “We made a life there. My daughter was born there. From a personal standpoint, I have an affinity for the area. When we used to race in Cleveland and at Mid-Ohio, we did a lot of racing in and around that area. I feel like there are a lot of great Indy car fans there and that raises the event when you have really, dyed-in-the-wool Indy car fans coming out like we do at Mid-Ohio, that makes things that much better.”

Although he was born in Warren, Mich., and his father attended the University of Michigan, Bryan Herta chose Ohio State, where he majored in economics.

“I went to Ohio State, I was a full-time student at Ohio State, I was born in Michigan and my dad went to Michigan,” Herta said. “Definitely, when Michigan plays Ohio State, I’m rooting for the Scarlet and Gray.

“I was an economics major. I did not make it to the finish line on that one. I was still enrolled at Ohio State when I started racing in IndyCar. All through Indy Lights and then into IndyCar, I realized I could no longer do both.

“If I had gotten my degree, maybe I’d be a great economics professor.”

Although Herta fell just short of getting his degree from Ohio State, his college years have had a lasting impact on his career as a driver and team owner.

“There is a discipline to learning that benefits you, no matter what you do,” Herta explained. “Whether you use your degree, or not, there is a discipline to learning how to study, how to apply yourself, how to meet deadlines for tests, how to meet deadlines for projects. All of that is the same in any business venture. I think the educational experience really helped me a lot on the business side of racing, even though the particular subject I studied wasn’t directly related to racing.”

As an Ohio State student, Herta started third and finished fourth in the Indy Lights Series race at Mid-Ohio in 1992. The next year, he won the race at Mid-Ohio after starting from the pole for Tasman Racing.

Herta became a test driver at Newman/Haas Racing, then joined A.J. Foyt Racing in 1994. The following year, he moved to Chip Ganassi Racing. He won his first pole at Phoenix in 1995.

In 1996, Ohio-based Team Rahal hired Herta to drive the Shell car in CART. He finished fourth at Mid-Ohio that year and drove to victory at WeatherTech Raceway at Laguna Seca in 1998 for his first triumph. It was the first of two consecutive Laguna victories for Herta.

He joined team owner Michael Andretti’s operation in 2003 and scored a victory at Kansas Speedway. He won again at Michigan Int’l Speedway in 2005.

These days Bryan Herta is better known as the father of 19-year-old Colton Herta. But his time in Ohio brings back special memories to the man and his family.

“Ohioans still have the Rahal home team to root for and maybe a little bit, the Hertas, too, because we did spend time there,” Herta noted. “Even though we live in California now, it was our home for many years and we still feel a great fondness toward the area.

“I’m humbled to be claimed as a hometown guy for so many races.”

Lunch India 297 and 14 for 0 (Agarwal 8*, Rahul 6*) lead West Indies 222 (Chase 48, Ishant 5-43) by 89 runs

Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul ensured India didn't lose any wicket in the seven overs they had to bat before lunch on the third morning of the first Test against West Indies. By the end of the session, India had extended their lead to 89 after Ishant Sharma's five-wicket haul had helped them bowl West Indies out for 222.

Resuming their innings on 189 for 8 on day three, West Indies resisted for 15.2 overs with overnight batsmen Jason Holder and Miguel Cummins frustrating India with a 41-run stand for the ninth wicket, of which Cummins' contribution was 0.

But once Mohammed Shami dismissed Holder for 39, Cummins went for a big heave against Ravindra Jadeja, only to be bowled for a 45-ball duck. However, the main destroyer was Ishant Sharma, who finished with figures of 5 for 43. On the second evening, West Indies were 174 for 5 at one stage before Ishant took three wickets in seven balls to reduce them to 179 for 8.

West Indies' hopes of getting close to India's first-innings total of 297 rested on their captain Jason Holder who farmed the strike as much as possible. With two fours in Jasprit Bumrah's second over of the day, Holder took West Indies past 200. In the pacer's next over, Holder chipped him wide of mid-on for another boundary.

At the other end, Miguel Cummins stuck to his brief of just hanging in there, and it wasn't that India didn't have a chance to bowl more than a couple of balls at a time at him. Ishant got two successive overs at him. While Ishant kept beating Cummins' bat, the batsman did well not to edge one.

Virat Kohli turned to Jadeja in search of the breakthrough. Jadeja too beat Cummins thrice in five balls in his first over of the day but the batsman just focused on protecting his stumps instead of poking at the ball.

Holder and Cummins saw out the first hour of the day with India seemingly growing frustrated. When it finally looked like Cummins had edged one behind the stumps off Mohammed Shami, the decision was overturned on review with replays showing the bat had hit the turf and not the ball.

However, Shami wasn't to be denied for long. On the first ball of his next over, he got Holder to nick one behind and this time there was no doubt about the edge.

While each of West Indies' top eight batsmen got into the double figures, apart from Holder, Roston Chase was the only one who offered any semblance of resistance. Chase, who top-scored for West Indies with 48, hit five fours and a six during his stay at the crease.

Earlier, Ajinkya Rahane's 81 had lifted India after a top-order collapse had left them precariously placed on 25 for 3. At 207 for 7, West Indies still had a chance to wrap up the innings under 250 but Jadeja added 90 with the last three batsmen to take India to a respectable total.

DETROIT -- A pair of Detroit Lions starters left the team's preseason game Friday night with injuries.

Starting middle linebacker Jarrad Davis was carted to the locker room with a right foot injury during the first drive, before center Frank Ragnow was helped off the field in the second quarter with a right leg injury.

"There's nothing really to report right now," Lions coach Matt Patricia said after his team's 24-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. "We'll see what it looks like tomorrow and go through the normal procedures the day after the game and try to see what that looks like and then we'll go from there."

Davis is scheduled to undergo an MRI on the foot Saturday, a source told ESPN. He appeared to suffer the injury at the end of a 9-yard run by Bills back LeSean McCoy when Lions teammate Devon Kennard appeared to roll up on Davis' leg. The run was called back for holding.

Davis fell to the ground clutching his right leg; he tried to get up and get to the sideline on his own but couldn't put any pressure on the leg.

After doctors and athletic trainers examined Davis, taking his right shoe off in the process, they called for the cart to take him to the locker room. Davis, 24, needed assistance to reach the cart, and multiple Detroit defensive players went over to speak with him before he left the field.

"Just making sure that he knows we're there for him," Kennard said. "That's like the leader of our defense and the heart and soul of the defense to an extent, and just so he knows we've got his back and we support him and praying that he's OK, whatever the injury is. I just let him know that I was praying for him and I hope that he's back soon."

Davis, the team's first-round pick in 2017, has been Detroit's middle linebacker the past two seasons and was expected to hold down that role again in 2019. While the Lions have not yet named team captains for 2019, Davis was a captain last season.

He has started all 30 games he has played for Detroit, making 196 tackles with eight sacks, eight passes defended and two fumble recoveries. With the Lions releasing safety Glover Quin in the offseason, Davis has often been looked to as the main communicator and heart of the team's defense since.

With Davis out, a combination of rookie Jahlani Tavai and veteran Jalen Reeves-Maybin took his place in the lineup.

Midway through the second quarter, Ragnow, 23, injured his right leg and was examined on the turf for a few minutes before being helped off the field. He initially could not put weight on his right leg before trying to gingerly test it as he went directly to the locker room for further examination.

Ragnow, Detroit's first-round pick last year, is expected to be the team's starting center in 2019. If his injury turns out to be serious, the Lions would likely shift Graham Glasgow, their center last season, back to the position from right guard.

It would be a big blow to Detroit, though, because the interior of the offensive line is the one area on the offense where starting positions haven't been settled.
