Scotland 170 for 6 (Sole 33, Obuya 2-12) beat Kenya 139 for 8 (Karim 51, Berrington 3-17) by 31 runs

Richie Berrington was instrumental in Scotland's victory over Kenya, his half-century partnership with Calum MacLeod forming the basis of their 170-run total. Later, with Kenya mounting a serious charge, his double-strike in the 15th over ensured an eventually comfortable 31-run victory.

After choosing to bat first, Scotland lost both openers relatively cheaply. Captain Kyle Coetzer was bowled missing a sweep for 14 before George Munsey fell driving to mid-off for 23 to make it 43 for 2 in the Powerplay. But Berrington joined MacLeod and kept the innings steady with a 53-run third-wicket stand. MacLeod fell edging behind on a failed attempt to glide a single to third man before Berrington was bowled by a googly from Collins Obuya in the space of six balls to make it 98 for 4.

In an innings that included many medium-sized nuggets - every one of the top seven reached double-digits - the most valuable of them all came from Tom Sole at No. 7. The offspinning allrounder sped to an unbeaten 33 off 18, utilising scoops and flicks to manipulate the field around his four fours and a six, to get Scotland up to a competitive total.

Kenya were cruising through the first half of the chase, the only hiccup coming when Alex Obanda pulled Sole to deep midwicket in the eighth. They also took advantage of sloppy fielding from Scotland, opener Irfan Karim surviving a run-out chance on 12 in the fourth over when Coetzer missed a free shot at the non-striker's end after the batsman had given up in a moment of miscommunication with Obanda. The reprieved Irfan brought up his half-century in the 14th over with Kenya went into the last six needing 62 runs off 36 balls with eight wickets in hand.

It took Berrington's intervention to finally dislodge Irfan for 51. With Alasdair Evans dropped following Friday's loss to Singapore as Scotland opted for an extra spinner in Mark Watt, Berrington was called upon to fill some extra overs with his medium pace and turned the game with the second string in his bow, finishing with 3 for 17 in three overs.

Berrington's momentum-shifting burst started with a back of a length delivery skidding below Irfan's pull and into the top of off stump. Four balls later he induced a drive from Rakep Patel to substitute fielder Michael Leask at long-off, leaving Kenya with 60 to get off 31 balls.

Safyaan Sharif then snuffed out Kenya's last hope when he bowled Obuya in the 17th over with a full and straight ball before Leask took another catch at long-off driven by Jasraj Kundi to put Sharif on a hat-trick. Berrington came back from one more in the 18th, claiming Shem Ngoche with a slower bouncer top-edged behind to clinch Man of the Match honors.

Jersey 184 for 4 (Jenner 57*, Greenwood 43, Ajekun 1-16) beat Nigeria 115 for 7 (Oyede 39, Miles 2-22, Blampied 2-24) by 69 runs

A collective batting performance spearheaded by an unbeaten fifty by Jonty Jenner set Jersey up for a comprehensive 69-run win over Nigeria in Abu Dhabi. The heavy margin of victory helped Jersey displace Ireland on the top of the table in group B of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifiers.

Having opted to bat, Jersey had contributions from all their batsmen, with everyone at least crossing double figures, starting with the openers Nick Ferraby and Harrison Carlyon, who made 20 each. However, it was the fourth wicket stand between Jenner and Nick Greenwood that propelled Jersey to a score that would go unchallenged. The duo added 81 in 53 balls, before Greenwood was dismissed for a 28-ball 43 on the last ball of the 19th over. Jenner remained unbeaten on 57 off 42 balls and Jersey finished strong with Benjamin Ward making a 5-ball 11 that included a six, as 14 were taken from the final over.

In response, Nigeria began positively with the openers Daniel Ajekun and Leke Oyede adding 28 in the first four before the enforcer Ajekun went for 17 off 10 on the first ball of the fifth, becoming left-arm spinner Elliot Miles' first victim, and it all went downhill from there. Four balls later, Miles struck again to send No.3 Sesan Adedeji back for a duck. Oyede and Vincent Adewoye staged a brief recovery, adding 31 for the third wicket but the required rate had touched 12 when Adewoye departed in the 10th over for 17. Oyede held the innings together but failed to keep abreast of the mounting required rate, finally falling for a painstaking 39 off 44 balls in the 17th over, with an improbable 89 still needed from 20 balls. Nigeria batted out their 20 overs but fell well short of their target, finishing on 115 for 7, and handing Jersey a massive win.

Haringey Borough's fourth-round FA Cup qualifying fixture against Yeovil was abandoned on Saturday after the home side walked off the pitch following racist abuse aimed at their goalkeeper by away supporters.

Haringey goalkeeper Valery Douglas Pajetat told BT Sport that he had been racially abused by fans, and that they had thrown objects and spat at him.

The club tweeted after the match to confirm it had been abandoned. The post read: "Sorry for the late update but wanted to make sure we gave correct information.

"Game has been abandoned following racial abuse. Horrendous afternoon. It must be said that 99.9% of @YTFC fans are also disgusted by what's happened as much as we are.

"One club, one community."

Yeovil also tweeted in the aftermath of the game, where they said both sets of players had returned to the pitch in a "show of solidarity."

A spokesperson for the FA later tweeted: "We are deeply concerned about the allegation of discrimination from an area of the crowd towards a player during the FA Cup fourth-round qualifying match between Haringey Borough and Yeovil Town, which resulted in the fixture being abandoned.

"There is no room for discrimination in our game and we are working with the match officials and the relevant authorities, as a matter of urgency, to fully establish the facts and take the appropriate steps."

The incident comes days after England players suffered racial abuse during their Euro 2020 qualifier against Bulgaria in Sofia.

Gareth Southgate's players initiated a three-step FIFA protocol in that fixture, but opted not to walk off the pitch.

A publicist for Conor McGregor has denied a second reported allegation of sexual assault against the UFC star.

The New York Times reported Saturday that a woman had accused McGregor of sexually assaulting her last week in a vehicle outside a Dublin pub.

McGregor has not spoken with police or been charged over this allegation, according to the newspaper.

"Conor McGregor is frequently the subject of rumors," McGregor's publicist said in a statement to the Times. "He emphatically denies any report accusing him of sexual assault."

Reached by ESPN, McGregor's team referred to the statement given to the Times and declined to comment further.

Garda, the Irish police service, said in a statement that investigations were ongoing.

In March, the Times reported that McGregor was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in December at a hotel in South Dublin. He was arrested and released after questioning in January. That case was given to Ireland's prosecutor's office earlier this year, according to the Times.

Irish media have reported on the sexual assault cases but have not named McGregor due to laws regarding the media in the country.

McGregor also is facing an ongoing case in Dublin over his punch of a man at a pub in April, an incident that was caught on video. He is expected to enter a plea or seek a date for the case to be heard at the next court appearance, on Nov. 1.

NEWARK, New Jersey -- Jack Hughes, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, scored his first NHL goal for the for the New Jersey Devils on Saturday in a game that had particularly special meaning for the rookie and his family.

With older brother and fellow NHL rookie Quinn Hughes on the Vancouver Canucks' bench and more than 70 close friends and family in the stands, including parents Jim and Ellen, Jack Hughes scored a power-play goal to give the Devils a 1-0 lead in the first period.

The goal was assisted by 2010 No. 1 pick Taylor Hall.

This was the first time in their young NHL careers and only the second time ever at any level that Quinn and Jack Hughes had gone head-to-head in a game.

Jack Hughes had gotten off to a difficult start to the season until notching his first NHL point on an assist in the Devils' first win of the season Thursday against the New York Rangers.

Hughes' early season point drought had been the longest for a No. 1 draft pick to start his career since Steven Stamkos went pointless through his first seven NHL games in 2008-09.

Quinn Hughes, who is 18 months older than Jack, was the seventh overall pick by Vancouver in 2018. He scored his first career goal 10 days prior in a Canucks win over the Los Angeles Kings.

NORMAN, Okla. -- In a scary moment, the Sooner Schooner tipped over while making a sharp turn on the field after an Oklahoma touchdown Saturday, sending two spirit squad members sprawling to the turf along with riders inside the covered wagon.

There were no major injuries, the university said, but a team spokesman said a team camera person -- who was taking video from inside the schooner that was airing on the team's video board -- was "being checked out" by medical staff.

The crash happened after the Sooners' fourth touchdown of the game against the West Virginia Mountaineers. During the break in the second quarter, the Sooner Schooner -- a covered wagon driven by two ponies named "Boomer" and "Sooner" -- tipped over near the 15-yard line.

"Overall, they're going to be okay."

The schooner was taking a sharp turn to head toward a stadium tunnel, but the wagon leaned hard to the right with the left-side wheels coming off the ground. The wagon crashed hard, with the two spirit squad members being ejected from the driver's bench and contents from inside the wagon spilling out onto the field.

"We believe it was the result of weight distribution among riders in the rear of the wagon," the university athletic department said in a statement. "Three individuals were evaluated at the stadium and released. All others reported that they were uninjured."

A university spokesman said he was unsure exactly how many people were inside the covered wagon at the time of the crash.

The wagon separated from the base as the ponies pulled away from the wreckage. The university said it appeared "Boomer" and "Sooner" were uninjured.

The sellout crowd gasped at the scene, but the rest of the spirit squad quickly came to assist and the field was cleared in a matter of minutes, including those who were involved in the crash.

"Medical staff responded immediately as did the expert horse handlers and veterinarian who staff all games," the statement said. "We are grateful that the injuries were not serious and for the staff members who responded so well."

The schooner traverses across the field at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium after every Sooners score. It is said to be reminiscent of the travel method used by pioneers who settled the Oklahoma Territory around the time of the Land Run 0f 1889.

The Sooner Schooner was introduced at the school in 1964 and became an official mascot in 1980.

Forward Pascal Siakam has agreed to a four-year, $130 million maximum rookie contract extension, agents Todd Ramasar and Jaafar Choufani told ESPN.

Siakam, considered the cornerstone of the Raptors' future, is the third player in the 2016 NBA draft class to agree to a maximum contract -- along with the Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons and Denver Nuggets' Jamal Murray.

The sides completed on the extension on Saturday afternoon, ahead of Monday's 6 p.m. ET deadline for 2016 draft class extensions.

Siakam is one of the Raptors' great scouting and player development success stories. A 27th overall pick who started playing basketball at 16 years old in Cameroon, Siakam was voted the NBA's Most Improved Player a year ago and played an integral part in Toronto's first NBA championship.

He averaged 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.7 blocks per game in the NBA Finals -- including 23.8 points on 59 percent shooting in the Raptors' four victories over the Golden State Warriors.

On the edge of elimination, a game away from having to say, "Wait 'til next year," the New York Yankees have forced a Game 6 in the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros. And now, anybody who had their World Series plans already mapped out might just need to wait out the weekend. Two teams head to Houston, but only one will be headed to the World Series by Monday.

What's on tap

Saturday's schedule

8:08 p.m. ET: Yankees at Astros, Game 6

The most important thing of the day: With both teams going to bullpen games, you'd think that plays into the Yankees' hands, given the season-long dominance of their relief crew. But in uncharted waters like this, it's an opportunity for all sorts of unexpected playoff heroes from either team to mint their own moments.

The view from inside the ballpark

HOUSTON -- Well, if you're reading this early, no one is here yet. But in a few hours, it is going to be rocking at Minute Maid Park. With no travel day, a double-bullpen game Saturday night and Gerrit Cole vs. Luis Severino looming in a potential Game 7 ... this ALCS is looking a lot more interesting than it did Friday morning. -- Matt Marrone

A stat to impress your friends: According to Elias Sports Bureau data, Game 5 of the ALCS marked the first game in MLB history -- across all 1,609 games ever played in the postseason -- in which both teams scored in the first inning and then went scoreless the rest of the way.

Predictions

The Yankees' offense threatened to explode in Game 5 of the ALCS, and despite coming out with the victory, New York came up short of that explosion after Justin Verlander did some major damage control. The Yankees' bats are bound to break through against a Houston relief crew that has held New York to a 1.13 WHIP in the ALCS, after posting a 1.85 WHIP in the division series against the Rays. Yankees 7, Astros 5 -- Marly Rivera

There could very well be a Game 6 dud ahead of us after a season-saving win for the Yankees in the Bronx. But as we head to Houston, it feels like this series suddenly deserves a Game 7. So why not. Yankees 8, Astros 5 -- Marrone

About last night

Stud of the night: Let's give Big Maple his due, because James Paxton provided the Yankees the kind of postseason start they were dreaming of when they acquired him in that big trade with the Mariners last November. His nine strikeouts in an elimination game was one shy of tying the Yankees' postseason record (held by Roger Clemens in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series and Bob Turley in Game 5 of the 1958 World Series), and his 112 pitches were the most thrown by any Yankees pitcher in any game this season.

Dud of the night: For one inning, Justin Verlander, because his four-run first frame marked the first time in his career he had given up that many runs in any inning in the postseason, as well as the first time he has given that many runs up in an inning since Aug. 11, 2014, against the Padres, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Anybody can be forgiven a bad inning from anybody once in five years, but having it happen in the first inning of an elimination game was definitely not what anybody in the Astros' dugout -- or Yankee Stadium -- expected.

Highlight of the night:

Quote of note: "I knew we were going to Houston when I woke up." -- Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge after their win in Game 5.

Best of the playoffs so far

Our running postseason MVP: How good is Gerrit Cole right now? Everyone agrees he was a little off in Game 3 of the ALCS, yet he nonetheless shut out the Yankees over seven innings for a huge Astros win. For the postseason, Cole is 3-0 with a 0.40 ERA and 32 strikeouts, giving up one run, 10 hits and eight walks in 22⅔ innings. Needless to say, he is on track for one of the best postseasons ever for a starting pitcher.

The play of this October: We're going to cheat and make this plays: the back-to-back home runs by the Nationals' Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto off the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw in the eighth inning of Game 5 of the National League Division Series. Kershaw in the wake of Soto's tying bomb could end up as the lasting image of these playoffs.

Game of the postseason so far: Nationals-Dodgers, Game 5 of the NLDS. The Dodgers ambushing Stephen Strasburg, Strasburg settling down and keeping the Nats in it, Walker Buehler's mastery, Kershaw's big strikeout before his eighth-inning implosion, Howie Kendrick's 10th-inning grand slam, questions for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. There's a lot to unpack here, and this was a true postseason classic.

“It’s such an honour to have been selected to be part of the athletes’ advisory committee and it’s fascinating to be able to see behind the scenes of a major sports event,” said para athlete Hart, who won gold in the T37 100m in Delhi in 2010 and is a member of Birmingham’s biggest athletics club, Birchfield Harriers.

“I’m excited to be able to play a key role in ensuring that Birmingham 2022 is the best possible Games for all of the 4500 athletes that will be taking part.

“This role is made even more special for me as I’m helping to organise an event which is taking place right on my door step, so I’m even more determined to help ensure the Games is a success.”

Zara Hyde Peters, chair of the committee, said: “We’ve created a very strong athletes’ advisory committee, with passionate and dedicated athletes who have already begun to make an excellent contribution towards helping us to organise the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

“It is invaluable to have the insight of current athletes when organising the Games, as they’ve attended the most recent multi-sport events and have that fresh and very relevant experience to draw on.

“This committee also affords an opportunity for the athletes to see behind the scenes of a major games and to better understand the staging of the sports events in which they compete with such distinction.”
