The pitch, on which the game was played on, found praise coming from both the captain’s corners so to speak, as both Virat Kohli and Ross Taylor, who stood in place of an ill Kane Williamson for this game, felt that the deck in Kolkata was a good one although the latter didn’t expect one of this nature to be dished out for the game. “Lovely Test match, a brilliant Test wicket, apart from the variable bounce here and there, it will get better and better,” Kohli said....

Yet after a stinging defeat, in which he was submitted in the third round by defending champion Charles Oliveira, his first action was one not of bitterness, but of sportsmanship. Speaking to Oliveira through an interpreter, Poirier told the Sao Paulo, Brazil, native that he wanted to make a donation to a charity of Oliveira’s choice.

The judge Thursday also told the attacker to seek help for his alcohol addiction and to report to police during matches of Ajax, AZ and the Dutch national team in the next two years. The prosecutor had demanded ten months imprisonment, of which four on probation, reports Xinhua....

There are plenty more events to look forward to in June as well, such as the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase. Perhaps the most anticipated event of all could be Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest. Keighley is most known for putting together the annual Game Awards, and it seems 2022 marks another year when he will be putting together both a Winter and Summer games event. As with The Game Awards, fans tuning in to the Summer Game Fest can expect new reveals, updates on games in development, and some special guests to draw in crowds who aren’t usually attracted to video game events....

That may be why Dwayne Johnson, in a rather deceptively cheeky Instagram post, decided to grace eager fans with just the most minuscule glimpse at his outfit for the upcoming superhero film. While fans have created and presented mock-ups of what they think the eye-popping black and gold suit will look like on Johnson, there hasn’t been any actual decent look at the official design just yet. Clearly aware of how hungry people are for new info, Johnson obliged in a hilariously troll-worthy way....

The shoes are the newest creation from Wade and Li-Ning, a Chinese apparel company, who are producing the “Way of Wade 3” shoe line. No word on when they’re set to release but Wade is taking the phrase “killing the game” to a new level.

Five-star small forward Jalen Johnson announced Thursday on his Twitter account he had committed to the Blue Devils. He’s the fourth-ranked prospect in his class and top player at his position, according to 247Sports. “Ever since the day I picked up a basketball, I have dreamt of playing this game at the highest level possible,” Johnson said in his announcement video. “Through all the blood, sweat and tears I’ve put into this game, the many obstacles I have overcame, many did not expect me to be in the position I’m in today....

Frank Herbert’s Dune, first published in 1965, is often listed as one of the most successful sci-fi novels in history and spawned dozens of sequels and prequels. Last year, the original novel was adapted into a film by modern master of science fiction Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049). Following the commercial and critical success of the 2021 film, distributor Warner Bros. Pictures commissioned not only a sequel film but also a prequel TV series, Dune: The Sisterhood, to be developed by Legendary Television for HBO Max....

The game’s recommended tutorial level walks players through all of the basic attacks and defensive maneuvers, but the section on how to parry leaves a bit to be desired. Timing parries is actually not very intuitive and the visual tells and indicators aren’t as obvious in Dark Alliance as they are in some other similar action RPGs. Not to worry though, mastering this defensive skill isn’t that hard once players know what to look for....

Earlier this year, Dungeons and Dragons announced One D&D–an evergreen evolution of 5th Edition that would replace the edition system of the past. However, YouTube content creator Indestructoboy shared that a trusted contact within Wizards of the Coast had reported Dungeons and Dragons may not renew the Open Game License for One D&D. This would effectively make publishing third-party content for One D&D impossible without explicit permission from Wizards of the Coast....

The two federal inmates, Cory Johnson and Dustin Higgs, were scheduled to be executed on Thursday and Friday, respectively, at the Justice Department execution chamber inside the Federal Correction Complex in Indiana.

The two men have argued that lung damage caused by COVID-19 could heighten their suffering during lethal injection....

That’s what Dustin Johnson accomplished at the 2020 Masters. His 72-hole score of 268 (20-under par) is the lowest such score in the history of a tournament that’s been played 84 times. It broke a mark previously held by Tiger Woods (1997) and Jordan Spieth (2015). In October, it wasn’t even obvious whether Johnson would be able to play at Augusta National Golf Club in the rescheduled Masters. Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 while preparing for a tournament in Las Vegas, and he had to isolate in his hotel room there for more than a week....
