The Calgary Flames and Carolina Hurricanes made news on Day 2 of the NHL Draft with a trade featuring defensemen Noah Hanifin and Dougie Hamilton, and forwards Elias Lindholm and Micheal Ferland.

Greg Bird has struggled mightily this season, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone is confident in his first baseman.

The trade talks between Cleveland and San Antonio did not gain traction, according to a report from USA Today.

The Carolina Hurricanes made a big splash on the second day of the NHL Draft, acquiring both Dougie Hamilton and Adam Fox.

Paul, a nine-time All-Star, averaged 18.6 points and 7.9 assists per game for Houston last season.

3 min: Germany make a fast start, probing down the right. Kimmich gets in and the ball finds its way to Draxler, who’s denied from close range! Werner also can’t turn it in and Sweden somehow scramble the ball clear.

Peep! Sweden, in blue shirts and yellow shorts, get the game underway. They’re kicking from right to left in the first half and immediately launch the ball long. Germany are in white shirts and black shorts. They attack down the left and Muller sends a cross into the area. It evades everyone. “At least with Messi,you could explain away his ineffectiveness by not having the Barcelona players around him; but for Ozil his interest in his Arsenal team-mates always looked fairly lukewarm, so their replacement by better players ought to have had a more salutary effect,” Charles Antaki says. “Low must have suspected that Ozil was living some sort of Emirates flash-back, and decided on a merciful release.”

Cape Town’s water shortage is thankfully easing and so, at long last, is the English rugby drought.

There was nothing remotely pretty about their display on a damp, blustery afternoon but, even with the series gone, the touring team finally have something to declare on their return to Heathrow. Rather than a sixth successive Test defeat niggling away at them all summer they can now lie on the beach dreaming of slightly rosier times ahead.

20th over: England 172-7 (Ecclestone 9, Hazell 7) Dani Hazell! A wonderful little two-ball cameo to finish! She hits to long-off and with just enough spin to deny Tahuhu who misfields on the rope. She then adds three more out to cover with some desperate running with Ecclestone. 19 from the final over. Considering the stumble they had losing three wickets about three-quarters of the way through their innings, it is a fantastic effort from the hosts. Plenty to bowl at. Back with the NZ reply at 7:10pm.

Caught at cover with a couple of balls to go but Shrubsole more than did her job. Her feet were fantastic to begin this final over dancing at Kasperek twice in a row for four then six! Through cover then over long-off! That pushed the hosts beyond the 160 they made earlier in the day.

Mexico have followed up their victory against Germany by beating South Korea 2-1 in Rostov, a result that piles further pressure on the world champions. If Germany lose to Sweden in the evening’s Group F game at the Fisht Stadium in Sochi then Joachim Löw’s side will be out.

South Korea’s slim hopes of qualification hang on Germany beating Sweden and then losing to the Koreans themselves.

A tale of two teams defined qualifying for the French Grand Prix and while for Mercedes the storyline was one they might have written themselves, for the once mighty McLaren, Paul Ricard is proving to be a pot-boiler they would rather was pulped.

Lewis Hamilton took pole, the first driver to claim the top spot at the race on its return after a 10-year absence. He was pushed to the limit by his Mercedes team-mate, Valtteri Bottas, but the Briton nailed an exceptional final lap to deny the Finn, securing a one-two for the team. Better still, they were well clear of Sebastian Vettel in the Ferrari who was in third, in front of the Red Bull of Max Verstappen.
