West Indies fast bowler Oshane Thomas has escaped serious injury after being involved in a motor accident in Jamaica late Sunday.

According to a statement by West Indies Players' Association, he was involved in a two-vehicle collision and was taken to a hospital. Jamaica Observer quoted Thomas' agent, Mark Neita, saying he was "at home resting" after he was discharged following treatment and scans.

"The West Indies Players' Association (WIPA) extends best wishes to West Indies and Jamaica fast-bowler Oshane Thomas who was involved in a motor vehicle accident on Sunday, February 16 in Jamaica," an official statement said.

"Thomas was reportedly involved in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 2000 near Old Harbour in St. Catherine and was taken to hospital. WIPA's executive and staff would like to extend our sympathies to Oshane. We wish for him a speedy and full recovery."

Thomas, who turned 23 on Tuesday and last played for West Indies in an ODI against Ireland last month, was left out of the squad for the tour of Sri Lanka. He has played 20 ODIs and 10 T20Is, picking up 27 and nine wickets respectively in the formats.

England Lions 613 for 8 declared (Sibley 103, Jennings 141, Lawrence 190, Bracey 58, Doggett 4-60) and 116 for 3 (Northeast 46*) drew with Cricket Australia XI 546 all out (Sangha 72, Lehmann 150, Edwards 192, Overton 3-100, Lawrence 3-94)

Sam Northeast made an unbeaten 46 as England Lions' tour game against a Cricket Australia XI petered out into a high-scoring draw in Hobart.

With Jack Edwards resuming on 142, the hosts added 77 runs in 23.2 overs on the final morning, with part-time spinners Dom Sibley and Dan Lawrence wrapping things up by dismissing Mitchell Perry for 28 and, eventually, Edwards for 190.

The Lions then made 116 for 3 in a low-key third innings, with Zak Crawley, Dom Sibley and Keaton Jennings the men dismissed. Northeast scored quickly, stroking seven boundaries in his 57-ball innings, before the captains shook hands mid-afternoon.

Lewis Gregory and Richard Gleeson, who were absent through injury yesterday, remained unavailable on the final day. The Lions' next game is a four-day, first-class game against a strong Australia A side under the MCG floodlights.

"There were a lot of positives to come out of the match in all phases of the game. It was tough for the bowlers on the pitch, but our bowlers stuck to their task during the last couple of days, especially with a couple of injuries," said Richard Dawson, the Lions coach.

"The batting was an obvious highlight and it was pleasing to see three centurions in the first innings, with Dan Lawrence's ability to push on on day two really putting us in a good position.

"We'll face another tough match at the MCG against Australia A later this week, but it's a great opportunity for the lads to experience a different challenge playing under lights. Our preparation over the past two weeks has been very good and we will be continuing this leading into the game."

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- After watching North Carolina lose another heartbreaker, this time 77-76 to Notre Dame on Monday, Roy Williams let out a season's worth of frustration in his postgame comments.

North Carolina (10-16, 3-12) blew a 15-point lead to the Irish and has lost three of its past four games on last-second shots. For the first time since 2001-02, the Tar Heels will have a losing record entering the ACC tournament.

"You got two choices: You can compete your butt off, or you can get in the fetal position and curl up and start crying," Williams said. "I'm not going to freaking do that. We're going to f---ing -- excuse me, I apologize to everybody -- we're going to freaking compete. That's what we're going to do. We play Saturday. You feel sorry for yourself, and you're going to do that the rest of your freaking life. I apologize. I don't know what I'm doing right now the way I'm cursing."

North Carolina led by 15 points with 8:39 remaining before it let yet another double-digit lead slip away. The Tar Heels are 3-5 in games in which they led by 10 or more points in the second half. The complete implosion against Notre Dame happened in the final 1:26. North Carolina, up four, was called for an offensive foul when Armando Bacot set an illegal screen. Up two with 18.8 seconds remaining, rather than attack the rim, Cole Anthony launched an air ball, and the Tar Heels couldn't secure the rebound.

Notre Dame's Nate Laszewski then hit a 3-pointer with 1.8 seconds remaining to give the Irish the win in what surely felt like a recurring nightmare for North Carolina. Over the past 10 days, the Tar Heels have suffered one heartbreaking loss after the next, starting with Duke on Feb. 8, another game in which they blew a big lead and lost on buzzer-beaters in regulation and overtime. On Saturday, North Carolina lost to Virginia after Tomas Woldetensae hit a 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds left to give the Cavaliers the win.

North Carolina is 1-6 in games decided by three points or fewer this season, and that's tied for the most such losses in Division I this season. The Tar Heels have lost six straight, their longest losing streak since 2001-02. They play No. 11 Louisville on Saturday.

"You've got to be all-in, or you've got to leave," Williams said. "Come on. It's not the easiest thing in the world, but you've still got to compete. It's frustrating, it makes you angry, and every little mistake you wonder why, but the bottom line is we're going to play a game on Saturday and see what happens."

If anyone can relate to Williams' frustration this season, it's Notre Dame women's basketball coach Muffet McGraw, who is also going through a rare losing season. Williams called McGraw last month to commiserate, and on Monday, McGraw posted on Twitter a photo of the two of them that went viral.

The San Francisco Giants said Monday that they won't invite Aubrey Huff to a reunion of the 2010 World Series-winning team this summer because of "unacceptable" comments made by Huff on social media.

"Earlier this month, we reached out to Aubrey Huff to let him know that he will not be included in the upcoming 2010 World Series Championship reunion. Aubrey has made multiple comments on social media that are unacceptable and run counter to the values of our organization," the Giants said in a statement. "While we appreciate the many contributions that Aubrey made to the 2010 championship season, we stand by our decision."

Huff, 43, played first base and outfield on the 2010 team and retired after the 2012 season. He played the final three seasons of his 13-year career with the Giants. In 2010, he played in 157 games, hitting .290 with 26 homers and 86 RBIs. The reunion is scheduled for Aug. 16.

In November, Huff posted a tweet containing a picture of him holding a shooting target with holes. The caption on the post said in part that he was "getting my boys trained up on how to use a gun in the unlikely event @BernieSanders beats @realDonaldTrump in 2020."

In January, he posted a since-deleted tweet about kidnapping Iranian women so "we can bring them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes." He later tweeted that his post was a joke.

"Quite frankly, shocked. Disappointed. If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be having a reunion," Huff told The Athletic about the Giants' decision. "But if they want to stick with their politically correct, progressive bulls---, that's fine."

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The intensity is picking up in Monday’s 62nd Daytona 500 as defending race winner Denny Hamlin claimed stage two at Daytona Int’l Speedway.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was running second on the final lap of the stage and tried to make a move around Hamlin coming out of turn four, which opened the door for Kyle Busch to sneak past Stenhouse for second place.

Hamlin’s Toyota crossed the line .134 seconds ahead of Busch’s Toyota. Stenhouse’s Chevrolet was third, followed by Martin Truex Jr.’s Toyota and Ross Chastain’s Chevrolet. Others collecting stage points included Jimmie Johnson, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Christopher Bell and Joey Logano.

With Hamlin leading in the No. 11 Toyota, Stenhouse tucked in behind Hamlin in second place just ahead of Joe Gibbs Racing cars of Busch and Truex. Chastain was hanging tough in fifth place in the closing laps of stage two.

On lap 90, B.J. McLeod and Quin Houff crashed coming out of turn two, the second crash of the race. Houff was in front of Aric Almirola, who was able to avoid any contact with the sliding car. Kevin Harvick, a contender for the win entering the race, had rear bumper damage that put him deep in the field, but he remained on the lead lap.

Hamlin led Stenhouse, Busch and Truex on lap 100, the halfway point of the race.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Denny Hamlin won the Daytona 500 for the second year in a row Monday in a race that ended in horrifying fashion when Ryan Newman’s Ford flipped violently as the field raced towards the checkered flag.

Newman’s car landed on its hood and was hit in the drivers side by Corey LaJoie’s car, sending Newman’s car skidding down the frontstretch. Newman’s car began to leak gasoline out of the crumpled tank while it was upside down with the driver trapped inside.

Hamlin defeated Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney in the second-closest finish in Daytona 500 history. The margin of victory was .014 of a second.

Chris Buescher was third, followed by David Ragan and Kevin Harvick.

After the race had concluded, the AMR Safety Crew was able to turn over Newman’s Ford before attempting to extricate the 2008 Daytona 500 winner. He was removed from the car and was taken directly to nearby Halifax Health.

Victory lane was subdued as the grim events were being played out by safety workers on the frontstretch. The view to Newman’s Ford was being screened off to hide it from the crowd.

“We take for granted sometimes how safe the cars are,” Hamlin said. “We’re praying for Ryan. We worked really well with Ryan through the race and he got turned around there. I knew they were going to come with a big run there. My job was to put a block that wasn’t going to wreck me.

“The race wasn’t over, and it worked out well for us at the end.”

Hamlin is the first driver since Sterling Marlin to win back-to-back Daytona 500s (1994-95).

With four laps to go until the scheduled 200-lap distance, Newman was in the lead followed Hamlin, who had pushed Newman and himself out in front of the field. The field scrambled down the backstretch with Hamlin closing to the back of Newman’s bumper with three to go.

Hamlin went high coming out of turn four and took the lead before another big crash in turn one after Ross Chastain got down on the apron and slammed into the outside wall. Ryan Preece, Christopher Bell and Joey Logano’s cars were among those involved in the crash.

The first attempt at overtime came unraveled before it ever started when Michael McDowell, Justin Haley and Bowyer all collided heading to the green flag.

That led to another overtime restart and Hamlin was able to maintain his lead with a push from Ryan Blaney. However, he got too far ahead of the field on the final lap, opening the door for those behind him to take advantage.

That’s exactly what Newman and Blaney did. With Newman leading and Blaney pushing, the duo blew by Hamlin down the backstretch, with Newman taking the lead. Hamlin blended in right behind Blaney and began pushing him, giving Blaney a big run coming out of turn four.

Blaney first when high, then low to try and pass Newman, who blocked both moves. Blaney then bumped Newman, which sent him turning right into the outside wall. Hamlin narrowly avoided Newman’s car and beat Blaney in a drag race to the checkered flag.

Prior to that, it was setting up to be a fantastic finish before a massive crash 16 laps from the scheduled 200-lap distance. It came on lap 184 when Logano attempted to bump draft Aric Almirola’s Ford in a large pack on the backstretch. That contact knocked Almirola’s Ford into the back of Logan’s teammate, Brad Keselowski, turning Keselowski’s Ford into the wall in front of the rest of the field.

“He hit me, and I spun out,” Keselowski said. “There was a lot of kinetic energy there. I put myself in the position for that. It was a really good effort. We led a lot of laps and was in position at the end. I knew the 10 was coming and the 6 (Newman) threw a pretty good block. When you have three or four of them, it causes a pretty big wreck.”

That triggered a massive crash in turn three that included many of the leading contenders for victory. Others involved including seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, Austin Dillon, Bubba Wallace, Martin Truex Jr., Kurt Busch, Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney, Ross Chastain, Ty Dillon, Justin Haley, Chris Buescher, Matt DiBenedetto, Alex Bowman, Brendan Gaughan, David Ragan and John Hunter Nemechek.

On lap 185, NASCAR officials displayed the red Ffag stopping the race and cutting the field in half.

“We were all racing hard,” Busch said. “On the inside lane, lady luck was not on my side. Boom, there it goes on the Roulette Wheel and it didn’t come up my number.”

The red flag was rescinded after 12 minutes and five seconds.

The dramatic segment that determined the race began on a lap 191 restart with Newman leading Bell, Elliott and Logano.

Earlier in the race, pole winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who led 23 laps and ran much of Monday’s race in second place in the No. 47 JTG Daugherty Chevrolet, dove low down the backstretch on lap 158. Stenhouse’s Chevrolet dropped below the double-yellow line trying to pass Kyle Busch and was penalized by NASCAR officials for passing below the boundary. He served a drive-through penalty on lap 164.

On lap 171, most of the field pitted under the green except for 11 Chevrolets, who took over positions 1-11. Stenhouse was tagged by Erik Jones coming out of turn four and crashed on lap 173, but NASCAR did not call for the caution since Stenhouse was able to retreat down pit road.

One lap later, the Chevrolets pitted together, Bowman first of the Chevrolet teams out of pits followed by Johnson. Both packs have closed in on each other with 20 to go. Three laps later, Kyle Busch’s engine experienced issues and he dropped off the track. As he tried to get around the track, the dreaded big one ensued in turn three to determine who would be left to battle it out for the victory.

Kyle Busch’s race was over with an engine problem as he drove into the garage area.

“It sucks to be in that conversation,” Busch said of not winning the Daytona 500. “We’ll go another year more.”

This year’s Daytona 500 started with a Presidential visit from President Donald J. Trump on Sunday and concluded under the lights on President’s Day.

But there was little reason to celebrate after Newman’s massive and frightening crash.

SPEED SPORT will update this story.

The Vancouver Canucks acquired Los Angeles Kings winger Tyler Toffoli, one of the NHL trade deadline's most sought-after wingers, for a hefty price on Monday.

The Canucks sent forward Tim Schaller, center Tyler Madden of Northeastern and a 2020 second-round draft pick for the 27-year-old Toffoli, who is an unrestricted free agent this summer. If Toffoli signs with the Canucks, the Kings will receive a conditional fourth-round pick in 2022.

Schaller has a $1.9 million cap hit, helping to offset the $4.6 million cap hit Toffoli carries.

A former 30-goal scorer, Toffoli has rebounded from a down offensive season with 18 goals and 16 assists in 58 games. That includes the three goals he scored Saturday in the Kings' Stadium Series victory over the Colorado Avalanche at the Air Force Academy, which made him the first player in NHL history to record a hat trick in an outdoor game.

"Toff had an incredible night," Kings coach Todd McLellan said after the game, Toffoli's last as a King. "He's got some poise. He's patient. It's nice to see him get rewarded. He's had some chances. He was a little snakebit. Normally, his numbers would be a little higher."

Toffoli can play both wings and brings something most of the young Canucks lack: a Stanley Cup ring, which he won with the Kings in 2014. He scored 14 points in 26 games during that run.

Schaller has six points in 51 games, playing 11:42 per game on average in a fourth-line role. Madden was drafted No. 68 overall by the Canucks in 2018 and is in his second season with Northeastern University. He's the son of former NHL center John Madden.

In other developments, the Canucks gave several injury updates Monday. Winger Brock Boeser suffered a rib cartilage fracture and will be reevaluated in three weeks, and winger Micheal Ferland will miss the rest of the season because of concussion-like symptoms.

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire said his controversial touchline kick out toward Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi was a "natural reaction" and there was "no intent" to harm him.

United earned a 2-0 win at Chelsea on Monday what was a scrappy game, but VAR controversy made the headlines once again after two Chelsea efforts were ruled out and England international Maguire escaped sanction for his actions toward Batshuayi.

The incident occurred in the first half when the players tangled each other up fighting for the ball as it rolled out of bounds. Maguire fell and seemingly kicked at Batshuayi's midsection, causing the Chelsea player to double over. A VAR review ruled against Maguire being sent off.

"I know I caught him and I felt he was going to fall on me and my natural reaction was to straighten my leg to stop him," Maguire told the BBC after the match. "It wasn't a kick out and there was no intent.

"I think it's the right decision. I knew I'd caught him but that I had no intent to hurt him. It was just a natural reaction. I apologised to him and it was nice that the referee saw sense."

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard didn't see it as such, saying that Maguire should have been booked and that VAR got the decision wrong.

"Harry Maguire should've got a red -- then he scores the second goal and the game changes off that. That's a major part of what VAR was brought in for. That one was wrong.

"It was just the wrong decision. It's harder to take with the presence of VAR. That's the reason it was brought in for, love it or hate it. It was universally the wrong decision. It's not my opinion. Everyone I've spoken to says the same thing."

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said it was Maguire who was first fouled.

"I didn't think two seconds about it. I think he was fouled, rolled over and he puts his leg out to protect himself," said Solksjaer.

Headed goals from Anthony Martial and Maguire earned Manchester United the win putting them back in the hunt for a top-four Premier League finish.

The Maguire call wasn't the only VAR calls that left Lampard with a bitter taste. Chelsea netted twice only to be left disappointed. Kurt Zouma thought he had scored from a corner in the 54th minute but VAR ruled that there was a push in the area by Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta on United's Brandon Williams.

Then substitute Olivier Giroud's header in the 77th was cancelled out when VAR showed the toe of his boot was offside.

On those calls, Lampard said: "I think Zouma's goal should have stood. At first I didn't. It's certainly not clear and obvious. Azpilicueta was shoved. Giroud's was offside."

ESPN's Rob Dawson and Reuters contributed to this report.

LONDON -- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not convinced everyone he is the right man to lead Manchester United, but he is beginning to prove he can come up with a big result just when he needs it most.

One Premier League win in 2020? No league goal for more than a month? One top-flight clean sheet all season? Mauricio Pochettino stating publicly he wants to return to management in England? No problem. Seemingly against all the odds, United went to Chelsea and won 2-0 thanks to goals from Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire.

Having started the day ninth in the table, they travelled back to Manchester on Monday night just three points off the top four with 12 games to play. The race for a place in next season's Champions League is on, regardless of whether or not they get any help from UEFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

United insist privately they are committed to this rebuild under Solskjaer, but the only way he can be sure of keeping his job into a second full season is to guide United back to Europe's top club competition. Back to within touching distance of Chelsea and still in the Europa League, he has given himself a chance.

If nothing else, victory will give Solskjaer some respite and the pressure, for a few days at least, is on Frank Lampard. Chelsea have won just one of their past six league games and face Jose Mourinho and Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Lampard, who lost N'Golo Kante to injury after 10 minutes, felt hard done by after both Kurt Zouma and Olivier Giroud had goals ruled out by VAR while goal scorer Maguire escaped a red card despite appearing to kick out at Michy Batshuayi.

"Harry Maguire should've got a red," said Lampard. "Then he scores the second goal, and the game changes off that. That's a major part of what VAR was brought in for. That one was wrong.

"I think Zouma's goal should have stood. At first I didn't. It's certainly not clear and obvious."

Solskjaer, meanwhile, was critical of his team's first-half performance, but they were still good enough to seal their first league double over Chelsea since 1987-88.

A creditable draw with Liverpool in October came after a run of five games without a win. Back-to-back victories over Manchester City and Tottenham in December followed draws with Sheffield United and Aston Villa. Solskjaer is desperate for more consistency, but it is not a bad knack to have.

In January last year, Solskjaer took his players to Dubai for a warm-weather training camp and came back to stun Pochettino's Tottenham at Wembley. Ed Woodward revealed later the performance went a long way toward deciding Solskjaer was the man to take the reins permanently, and United's executive vice-chairman was in the stands here to see his charge get the better of Lampard following a week away in Marbella.

Solskjaer will wish he could take the squad away every week.

The only thing that could have made his night in west London better was seeing emergency loan signing Odion Ighalo convert a 93rd-minute chance after coming on for his debut, but Willy Caballero wouldn't allow the icing to go on the cake. It is unlikely to bother Solskjaer too much after a day that had seemed destined to end with a familiar story of mounting problems.

Approaching a year in the job permanently, he should be used to adversity by now, but it hit new heights in the buildup to Monday's match. Victor Lindelof, a certain starter, could not make the trip because of illness and was replaced with Eric Bailly. And then, 17 minutes before kickoff, Mino Raiola dropped a bomb. In quotes posted on social media, Paul Pogba's agent launched a withering attack on Solskjaer after the United manager had said on Friday that "Paul is our player and not Mino's" amid fresh speculation about the Frenchman's future.

"Paul is not mine and for sure Solskjaer's property," wrote Raiola. "I hope Solskjaer does not want to suggest that Paul is his prisoner. I think Solskjaer may be frustrated for different reasons."

Solskjaer, though, wasn't about to let it ruin his night.

"No comment," Solskjaer said afterward. "I don't need to say anything. [The timing] didn't seem to bother any of our players."

Instead, he wanted to talk about positives, such as Martial's goal -- a brave header after getting across Andreas Christensen -- and Bailly's excellent performance in a back three after nearly 10 months without a competitive game.

"We want to be in the Champions League next year, and we've given ourselves a chance with this result," said Solskjaer. "We know we need to improve. We're going to work hard. We need to recover now because we've got another game on Thursday."

Solskjaer could do without waiting for the pressure to mount before taking another step in the right direction.
