(REUTERS)-Steven Smith and Shaun Marsh scored unbeaten half-centuries to launch a strong response from Australia after Dinesh Chandimal’s patient hundred pushed Sri Lanka’s first-innings total to 355 on the second day of the third and final Test yesterday.Chandimal (132) continued Sri Lanka’s superb fightback with his seventh Test century after they were reduced to 26 for five on the first morning with the hosts’ innings finally coming to an end just before the tea break.Australia, who face the very real prospect of losing their top Test ranking and suffering a 3-0 series sweep, lost David Warner (11) early to Dhananjaya de Silva but Smith (61) and Marsh (64) then added 120 for the unbroken second wicket.At stumps, the touring side reached 141 for one wicket, trailing Sri Lanka by 214 runs.Earlier, Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc picked up the last two wickets to fall, including the one of Chandimal, to complete his seventh career five-wicket haul and take his series tally to 22.After resuming on 214-5, De Silva (129) and Chandimal put paid to Australia’s hopes of quick wickets by extending their sixth-wicket stand to 211 before the overnight centurion became off-spinner Nathan Lyon’s third victim.Shaun Marsh, who had dropped De Silva on Saturday after the batsman had completed his maiden hundred, managed to hold on to the catch at forward short leg this time.Dilruwan Perera (16) was the only other batsman to fall in the first session, giving left-arm spinner Jon Holland his first wicket of the innings as the batsman lofted a drive to Lyon at long on as he looked to up the tempo.Chandimal, 26, was mostly watchful and concentrated hard during his knock but broke free to move into the 80s when he reverse swept Lyon for a superb six over the deep point boundary.He turned Lyon for a single to square leg to complete his hundred off 281 balls, celebrating with a loud yell as he leapt in the air. He was dropped by Australia captain Steven Smith off the very next deliveryChandimal and Rangana Herath added 73 runs for the eighth wicket, deepening the frustration for Australia.The partnership ended with Herath retiring hurt after suffering a body blow against paceman Josh Hazlewood.Left-arm paceman Starc had Chandimal edging behind on the second delivery of his new spell and then dismissed Suranga Lakmal in his next over to complete his third consecutive five-wicket haul.SRI LANKA 1st innings (Overnight: 214-5)K.

Iheanacho, who has four goals this term, produced an outstanding display for the Foxes in their 4-1 victory against Aston Villa on Sunday, scoring and providing the assist for Jamie Vardy’s opener.The former Celtic boss has lauded the performance of the Super Eagles star and urged him to keep working hard.“I thought he was great. He played the role how we wanted him to play. He creates Jamie’s first goal, gets the second one with a good finish,” Rodgers told Leicester Mercury.“I just think with Kels now that he’s settling in to being a Leicester City player. He’s come in and he was playing second fiddle to Jamie without many appearances.“Probably before when he’s come into games… When you’re not playing so much, sometimes can you force it. You come and try to force the performance.“All I said to him was just work hard in training, that’s all you can do. Don’t worry about being picked or not, that’s the manager’s choice.“But as long as you’re working hard and giving me something to think about, then that’s all you can do. He’s been first class in his training.“You saw him in the cup games, he comes in and he scores. He did it at Everton, came on and made a great impact. It’s just a case of him coming in with confidence. I thought he was very good [against Aston Villa], his hold-up play, his link-up with the midfield. He was excellent.“With any player, if their confidence is low, they don’t play so well. Every single player has confidence. For him, you can see his level is at a nice high level. He just needs to keep working, that’s the key to it.”Iheanacho will hope to play a part when Leicester take on Norwich City in their next Premier League game on Saturday.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers believes Kelechi Iheanacho is now settling in at the King Power Stadium despite having already spent more than two seasons at the club.The 23-year-old striker joined the Foxes in the summer of 2017 from Manchester City but has since struggled to establish himself in the squad, owing to inconsistent form.This season, the Nigeria international has been restricted to four appearances across all competitions but has impressed in the few outings he was afforded.
Frederick J. Ryan Jr., who graduated from the USC Gould School of Law in 1980, will be the next publisher of the Washington Post newspaper. Ryan, formerly president of Allbritton Communications Company and co-founder of the online news source Politico, replaces Katharine Weymouth, whose family has owned the Washington Post for more than 80 years.“I am honored to follow four generations of Graham family leadership and thrilled with the opportunity to work with Jeff [Bezos] and the incredibly talented team at The Post,” Ryan told USC Gould News.Ryan’s new role as publisher comes after Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post in August 2013.“Fred has had a truly remarkable career, in both public service and the private sector,” Gould Dean Robert K. Rasmussen told Gould News. “Talented lawyers are essential to our democracy, as is a free and robust press. I am confident that with Fred at the helm, one of our nation’s great newspapers will get even better.”After graduating from law school, Ryan worked in the West Wing of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s White House. In 1988, he moved back to California to serve as Reagan’s chief of staff after the former president left office in 1989, helping to establish the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library.He returned to Washington, D.C. in 1995 to head Allbritton Communications Company, and later helped establish the Politico news organization in 2007.“I’ve always had an interest in communications,” Ryan told USC Gould News. “I dealt a lot with the media in the White House. It’s not so different being on the other side. The same way a candidate is seeking to get a message out, we’re seeking readers of our newspaper and website, and trying to establish our brand. We aren’t as far apart as most people would think.”

David Clifton, Licensing Expert: Has the die already been cast? July 15, 2020 Neil McArthur, Chief Executive of the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), accompanied by Chairman Dr Bill Moyes, yesterday gave evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee investigating the ‘social and economic impact of the Gambling Industry’.A two-hour hearing saw McArthur and Moyes detail industry intricacies and diverse social factors attached to regulating the UK gambling sector amid a backdrop of heightened political and media scrutiny.Committee leader Lord Garde of Yarmouth began questioning by probing the legislative foundations of the 2005 Gambling Act, a framework implemented during the tenure of the ‘free market’ Blair government.Fast-forward to 2020, Lord Garde questions whether ‘the Gambling Act now serves an anachronism as to how the UK gambling market has developed?’Responding, Dr Moyes stated that although the Gambling Act maintains deficiencies, its legislation and core objectives “remain broadly relevant in making sure that gambling is safe and fair, vulnerable people are protected and at stopping crime getting a hold on gambling”.“Mostly we still find that the legislation facilitates what we want to do,” he said. “The question of whether a government is right to promote gambling is more a matter of public policy rather than the legislation itself.”Leading the UKGC, McArthur underlines that his team seek consistency in its regime of the UK gambling sector, referencing ‘constant touchpoints’ related to preventing gambling harms, stopping crime and whether gambling is conducted in a safe manner.Consistency is deemed as the key dynamic for McArthur and his team having to “balance the consumer choice of an industry in which 24 million people gamble in the UK, against the fact that gambling harm is a problem for a significant number of people, 340,000 according to our latest statistics with a further 5 million marked as vulnerable”.Backing Dr Moyes’ position, McArthur said that adhering to the Gambling Act’s legislative framework, the UKGC has been able to keep up with changing conditions “largely due to the power in allowing us to make licensing requirements and codes of practice addressing emerging issues”.Lord Garde would move questioning onto media scepticism of the UKGC’s governance of the industry, highlighting significant publicity attached to ‘hard cases of problem gambling’, in which the UKGC had been criticised for ‘being reactive rather than pro-active’ with regards to its action plan.Highlighting credit card wagering concerns brought-up by the BBC Panorama’ documentary on problem gambling, Lord Garde questions whether UKGC in-action are a consequence of policy limitations?McArthur understands criticisms but underlines that concerns were recognised when the UKGC established its National Strategy broadening its all-round collective scope and corporate approach to tackling problem gambling issues and making the industry safer for consumers.“The Strategy has been a much tougher approach to compliance and enforcement,” he added. “This was deliberate at changing the behaviour of operators since we had seen too many instances of failures being repeated.”At an industry level, McArthur details that tougher enforcement has led to ‘behavioural changes’ needed within operators. However, the UKGC’s tougher stance would be ineffective without elevating awareness of gambling harm as a UK public health issue.Marked as a key achievement, McArthur states “this was a very important moment for us, bringing together all the organisations with a part to play. The Commission, civic advisors, the NHS and operators had been finally been given a framework for addressing gambling-related harms”.National Strategy initiatives to date have established a support structure in which the UKGC “has in place today more than 100 operators, technology providers and experts, looking at how we can use technology to better monitor consumer behaviour to keep them safe, and we should continue to accelerate this work”.Lord Garde probed industry dynamics and whether the UKGC could keep up with the ‘clever people working in gambling, asking do you have the skillset to know what they are up to?’McArthur responded by pointing to benefits of the National Strategy scheme supporting UKGC’s research and consumer advocacy, in which the regulator is able to enforce leadership to share knowledge and expertise on industry components.“Through our policies we require operators to send us their people, compelling them to share knowledge and expertise on factors related to technology, product and product design,” he replied.Industry technology developments are cross-referenced and reviewed by an independent panel of tech experts (non-industry related) to evaluate multiple factors related to consumer engagement, protection and ethics.Following two-year since its implementation, McArthur continues to back the ‘three strands’ guiding the National Strategy in tougher enforcement, collaboration and innovation. He and Dr Moyes agree that the National Strategy has changed industry mindsets at a ‘boardroom level’, with new leadership dedicated to changing corporate cultures on tackling gambling harms.
