She is just 17, on Test debut, that too in England, but India's Shafali&nbsp;Verma&nbsp;was the biggest reason to attract eyeballs to women's Test despite the World Test Championship being played almost at the same time.
After missing a much-deserved hundred by just 4 runs in the first innings, the opener backed it up with a free-flowing 83-ball-63 in the 2nd innings. She not only became&nbsp;the youngest to complete fifty in both innings on the debut Test but her combined score of 159 is now the 3rd highest aggregate runs on Test debut in women's cricket. Moreover, Shafali&nbsp;also became the first women cricketer in history to hit three sixes in a Test match.

Argentina scraped through with a 1-0 win over Uruguay as they collected all three points for the first time in Copa&nbsp;America 2021. Playing their Group A clash against rivals Uruguay, Argentina got their lone goal early in the 1st half when&nbsp;Guido Rodr&iacute;guez&nbsp;scored in the 13th min of play.

Despite dominating the proceedings with over 60% possession and multiple attempts on the target, England failed to find a goal against neighbours Scotland as they were held to a draw in their Group D clash at Euro 2020. Gareth Southgate's&nbsp;team had over 8 attempts on target but lacked finishing touches as they failed to score. Captain Harry Kane looked pale on the pitch as he was subbed off with 15 mins&nbsp;to full time by Marcus Rashford&nbsp;who also failed to go past Scotland's watertight defence. With 1 draw and 1 win, England still hasn't booked their round of 16 berth as they have 4 points from 2 games so far in Group D.&nbsp;

Prime Minister Narendra&nbsp;Modi&nbsp;condoled Milha&nbsp;Singh's&nbsp;death on Twitter.

The top-ranked side in the world Belgium showed class on Thursday night as it rallied back from a goal down to beat Denmark 2-1 in Group B at Euro 2020. The local Danish supporters were sent into a state of ecstasy after&nbsp;Yussuf Poulsen&nbsp;scored the opening goal in just the 2nd min of the game. At the 10th min mark, the match was paused as the fans and both teams on the pitch prayed for the recovery of Danish star Christian Eriksen&nbsp;who suffered a cardiac arrest while playing the previous game. After the resumption, Belgium fought back but failed to find the back of the net in the opening half. After the break, Belgium's&nbsp;speed and penetration were too hot to handle for Denmark as the visitors scored twice in 15 mins&nbsp;once through&nbsp;Thorgan Hazard &amp; then from the boot of&nbsp;Kevin De Bruyne to seal a 2-1 win. Belgium with 2 wins from 2 games is now through to the round of 16.&nbsp;

She may be just 17 years old, but Shafali&nbsp;Verma&nbsp;announced herself at the Test stage with a bang. The teenager stamped her authority with a thumping 152-ball-96 on her debut Test vs England, but sadly fell 4 runs short of becoming the first Indian women to smash a ton on Test debut.
Never the less, her knock still went down in women's cricket history books as the&nbsp;highest score by a debutante in Tests. Moreover, she stitched a 167-run partnership with Smriti&nbsp;Mandhana,&nbsp;India Women's highest opening stand in Tests.

India will be playing to their strengths in the World Test Championship final and have picked both Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin in its playing XI for the Test match starting Friday in Southampton.&nbsp;
 There were no surprises as such as Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will open the batting. Pujara, Rahane and skipper Kohli will strengthen the middle order, while Rishabh Pant will take the wicketkeeping gloves.

Interestingly, it will be the first time these 5 bowlers will play together for India in a Test match.
