Cristiano Ronaldo's two goals weren't enough to secure Juventus passage into the Champions League quarterfinals as Lyon advanced 2-2 on aggregate.

Having won the first leg 1-0 in France prior to the coronavirus shutdown in March, Memphis Depay scored a 13th minute penalty to provide the Ligue 1 side the vital away goal at Juventus Stadium.

Ronaldo gave Juventus hope when the Portugal star converted from the spot himself minutes before halftime following a controversial handball call on Depay.

Ronaldo scored again in the 60th minute on a booming shot from outside the box that clipped the hands of outstretched Lyon keeper Anthony Lopes and into the net.

The brace means that Ronaldo finishes the season with most goals in a single campaign for Juventus with 37. He beat the 35-goal tally of Ferenc Hizrez -- a goalscoring record which stood for 95 years.

But the record will mean little as neither Ronaldo nor his side could get the crucial third goal of the evening needed to win, the first time since 2015-16 that Juve fail to get to the quarterfinals.

"I actually expected less from us, I think we played a great game. We fell behind to a penalty kick that could have made us lose our heads and we had three chances when we were 2-1 ahead," Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri said after the match.

"We knew we needed courage, talent and a little bit of fortune," said Lyon coach Rudi Garcia. "We played a very good first leg as well but, with Cristiano Ronaldo, we knew we could have been knocked out at any moment.

The last time Ronaldo failed to reach that stage of in the competition was in his first season with Real Madrid (2009-10).

Depay's goal didn't come without some controversy as Rodrigo Bentancur appeared to get the ball cleanly off Houssem Aouar but referee Felix Zwayer pointed to the spot and chose not to look at the incident on the pitchside monitor.

The Dutch star then converted with a cheeky Panenka-style penalty which sent Wojciech Szczesny the wrong way.

The defeat left Juventus Sarri in an uncomfortable position as the Champions League title eluded the Turin side for another season.

Although Juventus have won Serie A for nine seasons in a row, they have not been able to get their hands on the European trophy since 1996 when they won it for the second time.

Despite continuing the domestic run, Sarri failed to give Juventus the flamboyant touch the club had been looking for as well as missing out on their main goal.

When asked whether he feared he would lose his job, Sarri said he found that question "offensive."

"I don't think top-level executives decide based on a single game," he said. "I think they make wider evaluations -- whether they be for or against."

Friday's result means that Lyon's opponents in the quarterfinals are Manchester City, who ousted Real Madrid in the day's other match.

"We don't need to put limits for us," Garcia added. "We are one of the best eight teams in Europe, we know Manchester City are a better team but it's just one game, so our goal is the semifinal."

The subsequent rounds will be one-legged affairs at neutral sites in Lisbon, culminating with the final on Aug. 23.

Raphael Varane has taken responsibility for Real Madrid's Champions League exit after two mistakes from the defender saw them beaten 2-1 by Manchester City on Friday.

World Cup winner Varane, 27, was caught out twice by Gabriel Jesus in the round of 16 second leg in Manchester -- once in the first half, and again in the second -- as Madrid were eliminated 4-2 on aggregate.

"This defeat is mine. I have to accept it," Varane said. "I'm sad for my teammates. I take responsibility for this defeat. We had prepared well but you pay for mistakes at this level. I can't explain the errors. It happens in football. It's a difficult night for me."

"I felt good in the game," he added. "Maybe we took too many chances at the start and we paid for it. I'm grateful for the support of my teammates. This hasn't happened many times in my career. You make mistakes all over the pitch but there are areas where it's costly."

Varane has been a key member of a Real Madrid team that has won four Champions Leagues in the last decade.

"We didn't have to talk much [in the dressing room]," he said. "They all know I'm sad and I have to accept it. You need to have character to come back better and stronger and I'm already thinking about that. It's a complicated night. I'm a competitor, we lost and I failed so obviously I'm not happy."

Friday's defeat marked the first time that Zinedine Zidane has been knocked out of the Champions League as a coach, after winning the competition in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

"You have to stay calm, keep your head up and that's all," Zidane said, when asked if he'd spoken to Varane. "Ninety-five percent of what the players did all year has been spectacular. I'll focus on that. That's what I just said to the players... When you lose, we can't be happy. But we also have to be proud of what we've done."

Zidane appeared reluctant to discuss his future when asked about plans for next season -- before seemingly confirming he will return in 2020-21 to defend the La Liga title won last month.

"Next year we'll see. Right now we have to rest," he said. "I'm Real Madrid coach. Until something happens, I'm here. I'm Real Madrid coach, that's all, there are no more questions in that sense. Now we'll rest and we'll return to have a great season."

MANCHESTER, England -- For a club that has endured some agonising luck in the Champions League over the years, Manchester City will feel that they hit the jackpot on the night that Pep Guardiola's team qualified for the quarterfinals by sending Real Madrid crashing out of the competition with a 2-1 victory Friday.

Not only did City bring an end to Zinedine Zidane's incredible run of success in the tournament with Real -- this was the first time Zidane had suffered an elimination from the Champions League as coach -- Guardiola's players walked off the pitch at the Etihad Stadium to be greeted by the news that Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus will not be blocking their path to European glory in the final-eight tournament in Lisbon next week following their shock exit at the hands of Lyon in Turin, Italy.

City ended the hopes of one juggernaut (Real) themselves, but Lyon removed another in the shape of Juve, and that is only good news for Guardiola and his team. Lyon will be no pushover at Estadio Jose Alvalade next Saturday -- the French club beat City at the Etihad in last season's group stage before earning a 2-2 draw at home -- but after comfortably dispatching Real in this delayed round-of-16 tie, City will travel to Lisbon knowing that they have arguably their best-ever chance to win the Champions League for the first time.

Guardiola, unsurprisingly, insisted that his team cannot be complacent against Lyon after this victory.

"It is one step," Guardiola said. "If we think that is enough, we will show how small we are. If you want to win, you have to beat the big clubs, but we are here to try and win the Champions League.

"I just spoke with the scouting department [about Lyon] and they told me to be alert. We have eight days to prepare for it. We will enjoy it and then after we will think about Lyon."

This City side still have their flaws, but in victory against Real, they showed a growing maturity in this competition that enabled them to overcome their defensive frailties and the absence of injured striker Sergio Aguero.

Yes, City were 2-1 up from the first leg in the Santiago Bernabeu, but Zidane's Real remain a team packed with Champions League-winning experience and the likes of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Raphael Varane and Karim Benzema have seen it and done it far more often than their opposite numbers in blue shirts. But aside from Benzema, whose stunning first-half header gave Real hope of progression, the rest were outrun and out-thought by City. Eden Hazard was another high-profile disappointment for Real, with the former Chelsea forward barely touching the ball before being substituted midway through the second half.

This performance by City highlighted how they have grown into this competition and no longer feel intimidated by illustrious opposition. They dominated possession and the tempo of the game, with Guardiola's forwards buzzing around Real's defenders to force the mistakes that led to both goals -- Varane was the guilty Real player on both occasions -- while in midfield, City refused to allow Real to play through middle, forcing them to attempt to cross aimless balls into the penalty area that were largely dealt with by Ederson.

The absence of supporters inside the stadium due to the strict COVID-19 protocols in place denied this game the atmosphere that it deserved. In normal times, it would have been a night that would have gone down in the annals of City's history. It still will, but fans will sadly be unable to talk about the night that their team truly came of age in Europe by beating Real Madrid.

This victory will nevertheless give City the belief that they can now go all the way.

Since being eliminated by Real at the semifinal stage under Manuel Pellegrini in 2016, City have seen their Champions League hopes ended by Monaco, Liverpool and Tottenham during Guardiola's reign, but they have now sent Real out, so none of the remaining teams will worry City. Lyon will be concerned about stopping Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus from adding to the goals they scored against Real, while they must also find a way to nullify the threat of Kevin De Bruyne. And if City get past Rudi Garcia's team, a likely semifinal against either Bayern Munich or Barcelona will see them go into that game on an equal footing with one of Europe's most prestigious clubs.

After beating Real, City are just three wins from lifting the European Cup, so they are tantalisingly close. And this time, they look ready to win it.

"The players will go to Portugal to try to make the next step," Guardiola said. "We know exactly what team we beat."

The disparity in the level of preparedness of the teams is understood to be the key reason behind the ICC postponing the women's ODI World Cup from 2021 to 2022, with an eye on maintaining the "integrity of the tournament".

The ICC has retained the February-March window for the tournament to be played in New Zealand, as well as the format which will feature the eight teams and 31 matches. It is understood the qualifiers would be played in July 2021 in Sri Lanka with ten contestants.

Being one of the first countries to declare itself free of the Covid-19 pandemic, New Zealand was also the first to allow spectators at sporting venues. As of August 7, New Zealand has had a total of 1569 cases since the pandemic took force, with fewer than ten new cases reported since the start of the month. With that in mind the ICC would have been optimistic of hosting the event as per original schedule between February 6 and March 7, 2021.

Biosecurity protocols had already been drawn up by the World Cup's organising committee, in consultation with the ICC, New Zealand Cricket, and the New Zealand government. Spectators have been present at rugby games in the country, without limitation, since mid-June and there are few restrictions once visitors have completed their two-week quarantine. The teams for the World Cup were originally expected to arrive in New Zealand towards the end of January, but an earlier arrival had been planned, which would have impacted the cost considerations of the tournament.

The ICC had even scheduled the qualifiers in the UAE in November, which would determine the remaining three vacant slots to join the five countries (Australia, England, South Africa, India, and hosts New Zealand) that had already qualified.

However, ESPNcricinfo understands, several member countries, who attended the ICC Business Corporation meeting on Friday, raised concerns about the readiness of most of the eight participants. It is understood that representatives of the Pakistan Cricket Board and Bangladesh Cricket Board were concerned their teams would be under-cooked for the qualifiers, having played no cricket for several months.

For other teams, too, the T20 World Cup was the last time they featured in any cricket. Also with not much women's international cricket scheduled globally due to the pandemic, it would diminish the product and the competition.

With the UAE being selective about allowing visitors from various countries, the ICC, it is understood, was also concerned about getting permission for countries playing in the qualifiers there.

"We have taken the decision to move the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup to give players from every competing nation, the best opportunity to be ready for the world's biggest stage and there is still a global qualifier to complete to decide the final three teams," Manu Sawhney, the ICC chief executive said in a media release on Friday. "Moving the event by 12 months gives all competing teams the chance to play a sufficient level of cricket ahead of both the qualification event and leading into a Cricket World Cup so the integrity of the tournament is maintained."

Pakistan 326 and 137 for 8 (Yasir 12*, Abbas 0*) lead England 217 (Pope 62, Yasir 4-66) by 244 runs

Yasir Shah collected four wickets as Pakistan secured a healthy first-innings lead but England's five-pronged seam attack chipped away to keep them in contention during the opening match of what could turn out to be a classic three-Test series.

Late on an intriguing third day, it felt as though there were multiple scenarios yet to be played out, but it would take much more than England had shown so far to completely flip the script. By the close, the hosts had put themselves in a position to do just that, provided they can take early wickets on the fourth day and then produce an improved batting performance in their second innings.

England had resumed in peril at 92 for 4 and required either Ollie Pope, Jos Buttler or both to produce big innings with the deficit 184 runs following Shan Masood's outstanding 156, built over the first two days.

Instead, Pakistan seamers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Abbas kept the pressure on the batsmen with a miserly first hour in which England managed 19 runs. Abbas was particularly exacting, conceding just one run from his initial seven overs.

Pope, who had resumed on 46, passed fifty during that time but he and Buttler, who began the day on 15, just couldn't get into a flow.

It was teenage firebrand Naseem Shah who caused the batsmen real bother, however, eliciting loose shots from both before he had Pope out to an excellent ball that lifted late off a full length, found the splice and went straight to Shadab Khan at gully for 62.

Three balls later, Naseem cracked Chris Woakes on the side of his helmet with bouncer. Concussion tests passed, Woakes joined Buttler in guiding England to lunch otherwise unscathed, despite the introduction of Yasir, who bowled two overs before the break. In all, England had added 62 runs for the session and trailed by 167.

Yasir, who had Joe Root caught behind on the second evening, struck with his second ball after lunch, bowling Buttler between bat and pad as he played forward to a ball he expected to turn more than it did and which crashed into the top of off stump. Buttler, having come in under pressure to score runs, added just 23 for the day before he found himself out to a very good delivery.

Yasir then removed Dom Bess with turn and bounce and an excellent slips catch by Asad Shafiq, who leapt high to his right to pull down the ball which looped off the shoulder of the bat and, crucially, held on as he hit the ground, horizontal and at full stretch.

Woakes had dug in for 19 runs off 48 balls but he also fell to Yasir, whose quicker ball clattered into middle stump. For a third day in a row, England were struggling after lunch but being eight wickets down brought Stuart Broad to the crease and there was a sense of anticipation following his crucial half-century in the third Test against West Indies not a fortnight ago.

Three consecutive boundaries followed off Afridi but by the time Khan had Jofra Archer caught behind off the glove for 16, Broad had quietened down. He had another go with 6-4-2 in succession off Yasir to move to 29 but that's where he stayed, unbeaten, when James Anderson fell lbw to Khan attempting a reverse sweep and England were all out for 219, trailing by 107.

When Broad removed Masood for an 11-ball duck, Pakistan were 8 for 1 and they could have been two down at tea but for Ben Stokes putting down Abid Ali off the bowling of Anderson.

It took the introduction of Bess to make further inroads after the interval. Bess struck with his sixth ball to remove Abid, hoicking in ungainly fashion to deep square leg, and so began an enthralling period where the plot deviated one way then another.

Like Bess, Woakes came in with immediate effect, removing the dangerous Babar Azam - who scored 69 in the first innings - for just 5, caught by Stokes holding on this time at second slip. Woakes then trapped Azhar Ali lbw for 18 to put Pakistan at 63 for 4 with the lead 171 and keep England in the fight.

Asad Shafiq and Mohammad Rizwan pushed Pakistan's advantage beyond the 200-mark with a partnership that looked set to frustrate the hosts but which ended on 38 with a superb run out by Dom Sibley, descending on the ball from point and firing it in off-balance to take out the stumps with Shafiq nowhere near making his ground.

Stokes, who did not bowl in the first innings due a quad injury suffered in the West Indies series, came into the attack late in the day and his ability to make things happen could not be denied. Stokes had Rizwan out lbw and Afridi gloving a bouncer to gully, with Broad accounting for Khan via the DRS in between after his appeal for lbw was initially turned down by on-field umpire Richard Illingworth but was shown to be hitting leg stump.

That left Yasir set to be the protagonist again, seeking quick runs to push the lead up on the fourth morning as the storyline came full circle.

Yasir Shah doesn't do half-measures; anyone who watched him play in England in 2016 will know that.

A match-winning ten-wicket haul at Lord's was followed by arguably his worst career performance in Manchester, his match figures reading 66-6-263-1. If his numbers in the UAE, where he's snared 113 wickets in a scarcely believable 17 Test matches, showcase the best of the legspinner, the other side of the coin is equally extreme. In the Southern Hemisphere, Yasir's nine wickets have come at almost 96 apiece at an economy rate of 4.40.

England is the one place where the jury was out on him, and he did himself few favours on Thursday. Brought on to replace Mohammad Abbas and Shaheen Afridi with all the pressure on the England batsmen, the legspinner couldn't have asked for better circumstances to be asked to bowl. Far from being a stellar support act to the quicks, however, he was perhaps singularly responsible for frittering some of the momentum away, bowling much too short, far too quick, and proving way too expensive.

It is one of those intoxicatingly captivating vagaries of cricket that Yasir walked off at the end of the second day having taking the prized wicket of Joe Root, while Mohammad Abbas and Afridi were empty handed after a sensational hour of bowling on the third morning. Even so, there were signs he wasn't over the loss of form and confidence that had meant he was no longer viewed as an automatic selection. In seven overs, he conceded 38 runs, bowling at least eight long hops along the way.

On Friday, however, his entry into the attack elevated the quality of the bowling, and as the wickets began to come, his confidence, so integral to his performances throughout his career, began to grow. He went through Jos Buttler's defences with one that might be deemed natural variation, but Yasir felt he had outwitted him, and to a confidence cricketer, that made all the difference. The long hops were gone, the delivery stride was measured and deliberate, and the stock delivery nicely flighted.

All the variations came out; the classical legspinner which reared up claimed Dom Bess, while Chris Woakes was undone by the slider. These were tricks Yasir wouldn't have dared try the previous day, and when he holds back, he is a shadow of the cricketer Pakistan have shut their eyes and hung their hopes on for so many years.

No one, as the cliché goes, becomes a poor bowler overnight, least of all a man who became the quickest to 200 Test wickets in history. The knowledge he suddenly had to prove his worth to the side may well have played a part in the added pressure on his shoulders; Pakistan's spin bowling coach spoke about it in the press conference afterwards.

"The most important thing is spinners need to have a strong temperament and understand your action," Mushtaq Ahmed said. "Legspinners need to be mentally strong, and in the right head space.

"You need to have repeatable actions to bowl good overs rather than good balls. We're working with him on how to bowl in different circumstances using various strategies, and to ingrain these into his muscle memory. If you have variations, as Yasir does, and can also bowl good overs, I think you can challenge any batsman."

It's hard to overstate how worried Yasir might have been for his future overnight. When Pakistan commemorated the first Test to be played in the country for a decade last year, he found there was no place for him in the eleven. He might have served them well in the UAE; indeed, might have been the most significant reason Pakistan went nine years without losing a Test series in the Emirates, but this was Pakistan. And in Pakistan, pace was primary, spin peripheral.

He got his chance in the second Test two months later, but if anything, served to only vindicate the decision to leave him out the first time around, conceding 127 runs at four per over, with Haris Sohail outbowling him. After the Test against Bangladesh in February - his skipper, Azhar Ali, spoke pointedly about his "changing role in the side".

"When non-Asian opposition comes to Pakistan, we'll see if we go a different direction with the surfaces but for now I think the fast bowlers have been given the task of leading," Azhar said then. "Yasir, who has undoubtedly been a champion bowler for us and has proved how good he is, will begin to get those big wickets whenever the conditions are more favourable for him. This is a change for him, too."

It sounded more like a swansong than an endorsement. There was little Yasir could have done about Pakistan moving back home, but his performances of late outside the country hadn't quite helped his case, either. In the last six Tests before the ongoing one, Yasir took six wickets at over 70 runs per dismissal; half of those were three Bangladeshi tailenders in a foregone conclusion in the fourth innings of the Test in February. In one three-Test series prior, he had managed 29 wickets. That, of course, was a UAE series.

On Friday, Shadab Khan spilling a regulation catch was all that separated him from a first five-for since that productive series in the UAE against New Zealand in 2018. But for a man who no longer has the dustbowls of the UAE to fall back on, it's unlikely to be any more than a minor irritation. His captain may believe his role in the side has changed, but Yasir will be keen to emphasise his importance to it has not.

Chris Woakes says that England's battling performance with the ball on the third afternoon at Old Trafford, capped by Ben Stokes' late breakthroughs, has instilled the side with belief that they can still turn around the first Test, and hunt down a stiff fourth-innings target in spite of the challenge that Pakistan's twin legspinners are likely to cause on a dry and turning surface.

After conceding a first-innings deficit of 107, Woakes was instrumental in England's partial comeback with the ball, claiming the key wickets of Babar Azam and Azhar Ali as Pakistan reached the close on 137 for 8, a lead of 244.

However, the vital breakthroughs arrived in the final hour of the day, when Stokes - who had not bowled in the first innings after aggravating a quad strain in the West Indies series - was thrown the ball for his first spell of the match. He responded with two late strikes as Pakistan lost three for 17 before stumps, and afterwards, Woakes hailed yet another showing of his never-say-die spirit.

"I had no idea if he was ready to bowl, but I'm not surprised that he can do what he does," Woakes said. "He's Ben Stokes, he's capable of miracles.

"The longer he's had to recover has helped, but it's nice to see him back with a ball in hand. He's got a bit of a golden arm, he always has a knack of picking up wickets, and when you're in a bit of a dogfight he's the sort of player you want in your team. Always putting his hand up and giving 110%, and he certainly did that in picking up a couple of quick wickets."

Nevertheless, with England obtaining a hint of reverse swing with the old ball, and Pakistan armed to the teeth with men who can exploit similar assistance, the challenge in the fourth innings is already a stiff one.

Only one team has previously chased more than 250 at Old Trafford - Michael Vaughan's men hunted down 294 against New Zealand in 2008 - but with Stokes in England's ranks to provide memories of their comeback from the dead against Australia at Headingley last year, Woakes insisted they would take the proactive approach.

"There's always belief," he said. "You have to believe, it'd be stupid to rock up tomorrow and think three quick wickets and we're done. You can't think like that. We'll hear overnight about records, but they are there to be broken. I remember being a part of a win at Edgbaston [against Pakistan in 2016] when we had a deficit of 100, and that was one of my favourite Test wins ever. We'll certainly give it a good go."

England's Test mindset has had a vastly more disciplined outlook since the end of the Trevor Bayliss regime last summer, with the new head coach Chris Silverwood favouring time at the crease and solid accumulation over the sort of frantic run-harvesting that England had previously targeted. But, given the unfamiliar threats posed by Pakistan's multi-faceted attack on a wicket that is beginning to misbehave, Woakes suggested that the side might choose to revert to type over the weekend.

"As soon as we lost the toss, it was always going to be challenging," he said. "We knew at some point we'd be batting on a fourth- or fifth-day pitch, so we've got to try and be proactive.

"They've obviously got two legspinners in the side, and a bit of variable bounce as well, so you have to play well and take the positive approach, rather than sitting in and doing it the long way. The longer you stay at the crease, the more you imagine there's one with your name on it."

Yasir Shah in particular has served notice of his threat with four first-innings wickets, and Woakes acknowledged that high-class legspin was not a weapon that this particular team had often encountered at Test level.

"[Yasir] thinks of wickets, which is the beauty for Pakistan," Woakes said. "He's an attacking legspinner, and he's always bringing in the stumps. He's got a googly that he hasn't been bowling that often, but when it's on the stumps, and he's spinning it like that, you're worried about both edges a little bit.

"We haven't faced much legspin, so we'll have to work on our feet a little bit and get used to it on the job, so to speak. But we've also seen a lot of footage of these guys, so we don't use that as an excuse.

"But you have to be proactive and put the pressure back on them," he added. "There is always that pressure for spinners in the fourth innings, so we'll try to remember that. Put them under pressure and make them feel it a little bit. We've certainly given ourselves a chance with the way we bowled today."

After squandering much of the advantage following five sessions of gritty batsmanship, breathtaking pace, sublime swing and tricky spin bowling, you could have excused Pakistan's spin-bowling coach for being somewhat miffed at what transpired in the final session. Mushtaq Ahmed, though, ever a ray of sunshine, insisted there was no cause for irritation, adding that the scorecard, and the first-innings lead, meant he was "very confident" about the direction of the game.

"We're not frustrated," he said at the video press conference. "It's been awhile since we played Test cricket. But the guys are now getting back into the swing of things. We are very confident. We've got a 244-run lead, and if we get another 20-30 runs, it'll be a very good score on this pitch. If we bowl and field well, I think this will be a very good Test match."

A scoreline of 137 for 8 may not make for pretty reading, but Pakistan's overnight lead already means England will have to pull off the second-highest chase in the venue's history to take a series lead here. And while that should assuage any Pakistani nerves, they will doubtless be ruing some of the unforced errors that allowed England a look-in once more. Shan Masood, a picture of resolute steel for much of Pakistan's first innings, tickled Stuart Broad down the legside, for a catch so straightforward even the beleaguered Buttler couldn't fail to hold on to. By his currently stratospheric standards, it was a soft dismissal.

Pakistan would give away a few more wickets to poor decision-making, from low-percentage slogs they didn't need to go for, (a la Abid Ali), to unnecessarily risky singles (in the mould that saw Asad Shafiq run out). With Mohammad Abbas, Naseem Shah and Yasir Shah the only survivors from the innings overnight, there is little confidence Pakistan can add too much to the overnight tally, but Mushtaq dismissed suggestions complacency had played any role in some of the mistakes the visitors made.

"I don't think we were complacent," he said. "The boys are very focused. But whenever we were about to put up a partnership, we lost a wicket. The Asad dismissal was a bit painful because the scoreboard had started tickling along and both batsmen were set. Like I said, the boys are playing cricket after a while so you need to understand the ebbs and flows of the game and that sometimes takes time.

"But there isn't need to worry too much," he added. "The way Yasir and Shadab bowled, they understand the pitch and the pace you have to bowl to each specific batsman and the field positioning you need to have. I think they're very confident in the way they bowl. Yasir began with nerves but you can understand that. Both spinners bowled very well in the middle session, and that gives me hope they can play a crucial role as long as they have a decent target to defend."

For all of Mushtaq's diplomacy, however, there's little doubt Pakistan will be privately seething at the opportunities they handed England during a final session that they may yet look back upon with remorse. If the bowling performance in that fourth innings is half as decent as it was in the second, though, then Pakistan supporters, like the implacable Mushtaq Ahmed, may indeed have little to worry about.

The SEC announced each school's additional two league football games on Friday, highlighted by Florida traveling to Texas A&M and Tennessee's trip to Auburn if the upcoming season is played.

The SEC voted in late July to play a 10-game league schedule this season with no nonconference games. The league plans to publicly announce the dates for all games within the next two weeks as it continues to monitor developments around COVID-19.

The SEC added two games each with a not-yet-defined system in which the league tried to make its 14 teams' schedules as balanced as possible. Each SEC school normally plays eight league games -- all six divisional opponents, a permanent cross-divisional opponent and a rotating cross-divisional opponent.

"We made every effort to create a schedule that is as competitive as possible and builds on the existing eight Conference games that had already been scheduled for 2020," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. "This schedule is a one-year anomaly that we have developed under unique circumstances presented by the impact of COVID-19."

Defending national champion LSU, which faces Florida annually as its permanent cross-divisional foe, added a home game against Missouri and will also play on the road at Vanderbilt.

Alabama, which was already scheduled to face Georgia this season as its rotating cross-divisional foe, will pick up a home game against Kentucky and a road game at Missouri as its two additional league games. The Crimson Tide will face four of the top 13 teams in the preseason Amway Coaches Poll: No. 4 Georgia, No. 5 LSU, No. 11 Auburn and No. 13 Texas A&M.

Georgia, which already was playing Alabama and Auburn from the SEC West, will meet Mississippi State at home and Arkansas on the road. The Bulldogs will play only three SEC teams ranked in the preseason coaches' poll. Florida's slate in 2020 will include games against Georgia, LSU and Texas A&M, all ranked in the top 13 of the preseason coaches' poll.

Tennessee's two additional league games will come against Texas A&M at home and Auburn on the road, meaning the Vols will play five games against teams ranked in the top 13 of the coaches' poll.

Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee were the only three teams in the league to each have two teams ranked in the preseason coaches' poll added to their schedule.

"We already owned the nation's strongest 2020 football schedule and with these additions to our SEC only schedule, we now own the most challenging schedule in the history of college football," Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek said in a statement.

It won't be an easy first year for four new SEC coaches. Arkansas will play six teams ranked in the preseason coaches' poll in Sam Pittman's first season; new Mississippi State coach Mike Leach's team will play five, including road games at Alabama, Georgia and LSU; first-year Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin's squad also will play five; and Eli Drinkwitz's Missouri team will face four teams -- Alabama, Florida, Georgia and LSU -- ranked in the top eight of the coaches' poll.

The SEC's league-only schedule is slated to kick off on Sept. 26, and teams can begin practice on Aug. 17.

The Washington Football Team released running back Derrius Guice on Friday night, less than two hours after he was arrested on domestic violence charges in Loudoun County, Virginia.

Washington wasted little time in releasing Guice, saying in a statement that it had learned of a domestic violence-related incident Thursday. The team alerted the NFL and met Friday with Guice to let him know he was excused from all team activities.

The team's statement then read: "This afternoon we learned that there were multiple charges filed against Derrius. Upon review of the nature of these charges and following internal discussions, we have decided to release Derrius immediately."

According to the Loudoun County Sheriff's office, the charges stemmed from three separate domestic violence-related incidents earlier this year -- on Feb. 14, March 13 and April 17 -- at Guice's home in Ashburn, Virginia. The incidents were first reported to the Montgomery County Police Department in Maryland. The sheriff's office was made aware of the allegations on July 22. It investigated the incidents in coordination with the Montgomery County Police Department.

Guice, 23, was charged with one count of strangulation and three counts of assault and battery. He also was charged with one count of destruction of property. Guice turned himself in to the Loudoun Adult Detention Center late Friday afternoon. Guice later was released on a $10,000 uninsured bond.

Before the 2018 NFL draft, there were anonymous reports questioning Guice's character. Many who knew him, from high school to college coaches, said those fears were misplaced. Although some teams took him off the board, whether for injury or character concerns, Washington drafted the LSU product in the second round.

During his two seasons with Washington, questions arose about his maturity level, according to numerous sources over this time. Most of those concerns, though, stemmed from his approach to various team situations such as medical treatment.

As a rookie, Guice was one of the camp standouts until he tore his left ACL in the first preseason game. Coaches valued his ability to help on all three downs because he could not only catch the ball but help in pass protection.

Guice opened the 2019 season as the starting running back, but he tore the meniscus in his right knee and missed eight games. He then tore his medial collateral ligament in a Dec. 8 loss at Green Bay and did not play again. He never touched the ball more than 10 times in a game, but he did average 5.83 yards on 42 carries.

This season, Washington made sure to add depth at running back. The team still has Adrian Peterson, but it also signed third-down back J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber, an early-down back. Washington drafted Antonio Gibson, who will also align at wide receiver in certain formations. Bryce Love, whom the team drafted in the fourth round in 2019, was cleared to practice this summer and, if he's back to where he was at Stanford, would provide the same sort of pop the team had hoped to get from Guice.

Washington's NFL franchise came under fire last month when The Washington Post detailed sexual harassment allegations against five former employees. New coach Ron Rivera was tasked with improving the culture in Washington, making Guice's release a necessary move.
