England took total control of the second test on a wearing Headingley pitch on Sunday after New Zealand collapsed from 75 for one to 102 for 5 in their second innings at the close of day four.
The tourists were still 15 runs adrift of England, who made 526 in their first innings, and reeling from the news spinner Daniel Vettori had suffered a suspected hamstring tear. Scott Styris was on seven while Jacob Oram had made four.
England had earlier piled on the runs after some sloppy New Zealand bowling with Geraint Jones notching his maiden test century from only 146 balls and Andrew Flintoff weighing in with a composed 94.
Steve Harmison and Matthew Hoggard did the damage with the ball for England, taking advantage of a deteriorating pitch.
Nathan Astle (8) was trapped lbw by Hoggard and nightwatchman Daryl Tuffey (7) lasted seven balls before spooning a simple catch to Jones off Harmison.
Opener Mark Richardson was out for 40, gloving a steep Hoggard ball to Jones and Brendon McCullum, promoted to three, was caught acrobatically by Marcus Trescothick for 20 after a good length ball from Harmison.
Stephen Fleming, back as opener because of Michael Papps's broken finger, clipped a Flintoff delivery to Andrew Strauss at short leg when on 11.
England, resuming on 248 for four in the morning session, took advantage of New Zealand's bowling deficiencies, which were exacerbated when Vettori was forced from the field with a hamstring strain. It was not clear whether he would be able to finish the Test.
Jones, playing in only his third test, hit a flurry of ambitious strokes but his luck finally ended when he cut a Chris Cairns delivery into the safe hands of Fleming to be out for exactly 100.
Flintoff displayed his growing maturity with a cultured innings before he attempted to strike a six to reach his century but was caught at mid-off by Chris Martin off Styris.
The Lancashire all-rounder, so often an all-or-nothing attacking batsman in the past, relied on timing rather than brute force in a measured innings.
WEST INDIES VS BANGLADESH
Their bowling battered into submission by Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Bangladesh lost three early wickets to leave West Indies in a formidable position after three days of their second and final cricket Test on Sunday.
Sarwan hit an undefeated 261, his highest Test and first-class score, and Chanderpaul scored an unbeaten 101, his 10th Test hundred, to allow West Indies to declare at 559 for four with a first innings lead of 275.
With 20 overs available before the close, Bangladesh slumped to 66 for three in their second innings when stumps were drawn to fortify West Indies' position in the Test.
US track and field athletes have about four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. The one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who say they do not need the Internet to make sure they have good uniforms. Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back. I’m excited to be back and can’t wait to join the team,” Cousins said in a video posted on the Leopard’s Facebook page. “Most of all, can’t wait to see you guys, the fans, next weekend.

Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
The sacred flame for the Paris Olympics was lit yesterday in Olympia, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Games, in a ceremony inspired by antiquity and marked by messages of hope amid multiple global crises. “In ancient times, the Olympic Games brought together the Greek city states, even — and in particular — during times of war and conflict,” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. “Today, the Olympic Games are the only event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition. Then as now, the Olympic athletes are sending this powerful message — yes, it is possible to compete fiercely
