India’s head coach clashes with Oval staff before fifth Test as tempers flare

Gambhir engages in angry exchange with groundman
Fortis tells Gambhir: ‘You can’t tell us what to do’

The spicy spats that have increasingly been a feature of the action in the England-India Tests so far this summer spilled on to the training pitch on Tuesday when the tourists’ head coach, Gautam Gambhir, had a row with Surrey’s head groundsman as his team prepared for the latest clash at the Oval on Thursday.

Ben Stokes’ squad were enjoying a break, but with the series still to be decided in the final Test and India 2-1 down after their fightback at Old Trafford the visitors’ work in the nets was far from straightforward as tensions surfaced in angry exchanges between the pair at the centre of the dispute.

Vancouver Canucks 2024–25 Report Card: Arshdeep Bains

Welcome to this edition of THN's Vancouver Canucks 2024-25 Report Card. This recurring 2025 off-season series features a deep dive into how each Canucks player performed last year. Today's article will focus on winger Arshdeep Bains, who finished the season with one points in 13 games.

Bains received a couple of call-ups throughout the 2024-25 season. He also scored his first NHL goal, which came on October 26 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. While he did put forth some noticeable performances at the NHL level, most of his success came in the AHL, where he helped the Abbotsford Canucks capture the 2025 Calder Cup.

There were few players better than Bains during the 2025 Calder Cup Finals. The 24-year-old recorded 10 points in six games, while finishing the playoffs with 24 points in 24 games. Ultimately, Bains showed that he can be relied upon in crucial moments, as he recorded multi-point performances in both Games 5 and 6 of the Finals.

Latest From THN’s Vancouver Canucks Site:

Canucks Prospect Björck & Team Sweden Defeat Team USA White 4-3 At The 2025 World Junior Summer Showcase

Vancouver Canucks Coaches’ Playing Careers: Daniel Sedin

Vancouver Canucks 2024–25 Report Card: Derek Forbort

As for Bains' time in the NHL, he averaged 10:30 of ice time while playing on the fourth line. During his 13 games, he recorded eight shots while also throwing 17 hits. Bains also saw some time on the power play, logging 9:49 of ice time with the man advantage.

From BC To The Big Club: Arshdeep Bains’ Path To The CanucksThe forward looks to be in Vancouver’s lineup on October 9th’s season opener against the Calgary Flames.

After the season was complete, Bains signed a two-year extension with Vancouver. The first year of the deal is a two-way contract, while the second season is a one-way contract. Based on the current roster, Bains will be one of a handful of players fighting for a spot in the bottom six and, if sent to the AHL, will most likely be one of the first forwards called up if injuries or trades occur.

In the end, Bains had a successful third campaign with the organization. He played 13 NHL games and led Abbotsford to a championship. Based on his performance, Bains receives a B+ grade for the 2024-25 season.

Eugenio Suárez says X-rays were negative after he was hit on index finger by pitch against Tigers

DETROIT — Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez hopes he avoided major injury when he was hit in the right index finger by a pitch late in a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Suárez, who is a candidate to be traded to a contender, was hit by a 95.6 mph sinker from Will Vest in the ninth inning. He immediately doubled over in pain and quickly left the field.

“The good news is that the X-rays were negative, but it still obviously hurt,” said Suárez, who was not bending the finger. “There are more tests scheduled for (Tuesday) and we will go from there. I’ll come back as quickly as I can.”

The 34-year-old is hitting .247 with 36 homers and 87 RBIs in 104 games this season — the seventh time he has hit at least 30 homers in the last eight full seasons.

“He’s very tough and he never even winces,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. “When he reacts like that, you know it isn’t good.”

Lovullo said he didn’t blame Vest.

“I don’t think there was any intent there,” Lovullo said. “He’s one of the most impressive hitters in MLB and you don’t want to take those type of players off the field.”

The Diamondbacks are 51-56 and already have signaled they will be sellers at the deadline. One of the teams believed to be interested in Suárez is the Tigers. The Venezuelan was signed by Detroit at age 17 and made his debut for the club in 2014 before being traded to Cincinnati after that season.

Mets at Padres: How to watch on SNY on July 29, 2025

The Mets are looking to get back in the win column after a back-and-forth first game in San Diego with Tuesday's game against the Padres at 9:40 p.m. on SNY.

Here's what to know about the game and how to watch...

Mets Notes

Ronny Maurcio smacked a game-tying solo shot in the ninth and is now 7-for-13 with two home runs and three RBI in his last four games
After walking three times on Monday, Jeff McNeil saw his OBP rise to .358 on the year. In eight games since the All-Star break, he has a .484 OBP and .865 OPS
Sean Manaea will make his third start of the season (fourth appearance) as he continues to build himself back up. So far, he has allowed just three runs in 12.1 innings on eight hits and four walks with 18 strikeouts for a 2.19 ERA and 0.973 WHIP
Padres right-hander Ryan Bergert will be making his seventh start (11th game) of his debut campaign. He has pitched to a 2.84 ERA (4.26 FIP) with a 1.137 WHIP over 31.2 innings. Bergert has allowed 10 runs on 22 hits and 14 walks with 30 strikeouts. The Mets can expect a heavy dose of his four-seam fastball (93.7 mph average) and slider

Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Red Sox and the Twins

Rotoworld Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the value on Boston to miss the postseason:

“Boston has the third-toughest remaining strength of schedule (.516 winning %). Let’s look at the first 15 games of the second half for Boston:

3 road games at the Cubs (1-2 record)
3 road games at the Phillies (1-2 record)
3 home games vs the Dodgers (2-1 record)
3 road games at the Twins (0-1 record)
3 home games vs the Astros

That schedule alone could put them behind and make a +105 to -115 bet became -200 to -300 quickly (already -180). During the All-Star break, I played Boston at plus-money to miss the postseason and think it’s still a good bet after losing three of four after the break.”
