Hales fractured his hand in the second of three one-day international in India, giving Billings the chance to take his place in the third match which England won to lose the series 2-1. “We felt it was important to keep faith with the squad that competed during the recent tour of India,” National Selector James Whitaker said in an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) statement on Friday. “The current group of players are making excellent progress under the captaincy of Eoin Morgan and head coach Trevor Bayliss and the tour of the Caribbean will enable the team to test themselves in different conditions against a competitive side in the West Indies....

The Bills provided a fantastic example of that this week when their four rookie offensive linemen — Alec Anderson, Derek Kerstetter, Tanner Owen and Luke Tenuta — provided a shirtless rendition of the Backstreet Boys’ hit, “I Want it That Way” in front of the team. Here’s the moment, in all its sweaty glory, courtesy of Stefon Diggs: MORE: Why Bills fans are sending Von Miller toilet paper: ‘I’m definitely feeling Bills Mafia’...

Rookie first-round draft picks Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmunds played a significant role in ensuring Williams headed into retirement on a high note after a 13-year career in Buffalo. The young players led the Bills to a 42-17 rout over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Allen had a career-best three touchdown passes and scored two more rushing, while Edmunds had a one-handed interception and added a sack. They put the finishing touches on a 6-10 season in which the rebuilding Bills won four of their final seven games....

“For Christianity Today to side with the Democrat Party in a totally partisan attack on the President of the United States is unfathomable,” Graham said in a Facebook post on Friday morning. On Thursday, Christianity Today, an evangelical Christian magazine, published an editorial that said the positive aspects of Trump’s presidency didn’t outweigh the “moral and political danger” that comes with a leader of “such grossly immoral character.” It urged those evangelicals who align with Trump to consider how their support impacts their credibility when it comes to discussing “justice and righteousness” in terms of Christian beliefs, including abortion....

Biologics are usually considered when a person isn’t responding to traditional DMARDs. Biologics are genetically engineered proteins made from complex molecules using living microorganisms like plants or animal cells. They work by targeting the proteins in the body responsible for the immune response, zeroing in on the affected areas without impacting the rest of the body. What Are Biologics? Biologics work by targeting specific parts of the inflammatory process. Each biologic drug targets a different molecule....

Typically speaking, new game plus allows players to start at the beginning of a game while keeping all of their character progression. This way they can play through the story once again without feeling as though they have to relearn all of their skills and levels. Biomutant works very similarly to this, but there is one important caveat. RELATED: Biomutant: How to Destroy the Boomhut In order to access new game plus in Biomutant, players first need to beat the game....

Since the game’s reveal over three years ago, excitement has been building for the RPG, stoked perhaps by Experiment 101’s long silences on Biomutant’s development. Many gamers even feared that the game had quietly been canceled, and postponed release windows did not help matters. Now, with a definite release date for Biomutant announced last month, it’s time to see if player’s PCs can handle the visually stunning open-world of the post-apocalyptic title....

In a fiery speech Tuesday, Biden said there was “no option” but to scrap the filibuster so the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act can get through Congress. “It gives me no satisfaction in saying that, as an institutionalist, as a man who was honored to serve in the Senate,” Biden said as he delivered remarks in Atlanta. “But as an institutionalist, I believe the threat to democracy is so grave that we must find a way to pass these voting rights bills, debate them, vote, let the majority prevail....

On the other hand, the Stars have won their last three games on the trot, thanks to Marcus Stoinis, who has taken it upon himself to lead the Stars to the semis. With the match being played at the Optus Stadium and this being the Scorchers’ final home game, this match is sure to be a thriller for everyone to witness. Squads to choose from: Perth Scorchers: Cameron Bancroft, Jason Behrendorff, Hilton Cartwright, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kelly, Michael Klinger, Mitchell Marsh, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Matt Kelly, Nick Hobson, Clint Hinchliffe...

The battle featuring the young boxer, who hopes to displace the legendary MC Mary Kom in the Indian squad for the Olympic Games, and her senior was bitterly fought. Pinki Rani gained the upper-hand in the first round, impressing the judges. That brought Nikhat Zareen under pressure and she responded well to rally to a 3-2 decision in the most eagerly awaited bout of the day. She inspired NE Rhinos to rally from 1-3 to a 4-3 win....

Mother-of-three Narelle Guthrie, 35, has traveled to the Polish border and into Ukraine to help people find sanctuary in the United Kingdom. Guthrie, of Devizes, a market town in Wiltshire, England, has worked in refugee camps and kitchens and handed out blankets and humanitarian aid at train stations. She also stood on the Polish-Ukraine border giving out her personal contact information “to as many people as possible to offer my help and support....

Known for her penchant to raise the bar on biggest platforms, the skipper smashed her way to an unbeaten 103 off 51 balls in India’s comfortable 34-run win against New Zealand in the opening game of the ICC World T20. “Yesterday, I was having little bit back problem,” Kaur said after the match. “In the morning, I was not feeling well, when I came to the ground I was feeling a little low and getting some cramps....

Three years on, Brathwaite was again trying to do the near-impossible for his country on the big stage. He walked into a baptism of fire at Old Trafford, facing a Lockie Ferguson hat-trick ball, but defended it before finding the boundary from the very next delivery. But the wickets kept on tumbling, part of a collapse that saw West Indies go from 142-2 to 164-7 in pursuit of a victory target of 292 against a New Zealand side who had started the Cricket World Cup in excellent form....

Plenty, it turned out. Even before sleepy reporters could finish their cornflakes, Rollins blithely unloaded a bombshell: the Whitman campaign, he said, had “suppressed” the black vote in New Jersey with a half-million dollars in cash. It had done so, he said, in two ways, Contributions were made to black churches, whose ministers were told: “Don’t get up in the Sunday pulpit and preach” on behalf of Florio. And workers for black mayors were offered the same amounts of Election Day “walking-around money” (box) as they were getting from Democrats....

Although no major announcements have been made on any Pokemon social media platforms, The Pokemon Company sent out an official press release regarding plans for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. According to the information provided within the press release, Pikachu will be making an appearance via a massive parade balloon, which shouldn’t come as a big surprise because the Pokemon mascot has been appearing at the parade for 20 years now....

Considering Hamlin had run 182 mph in the day’s first practice session, the fastest speed recorded, it was no light development. MORE: Austin Dillon’s terrifying crash | Who’s No. 1 in power rankings? | Qualifying is Saturday Photos captured the incident in which the hood lifted from its front locks, smashing into the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota’s windshield.

But while these bills might help small business owners, app and website developers, it’s not clear how they will help users. Preventing online marketplaces and app stores from disadvantaging hosted vendors may be the one regulation Democrats and Republicans can agree on, but “self-preferencing” is nobody’s number-one beef with Big Tech. Of far greater public concern are free speech, fake news, lobbying, data collection, code theft, collaboration with dictators, social media’s addictive properties and its propensity to target children....

In that one, the Big Ten Conference placed nine teams in the field. The league was the clear No. 1 in the NCAA’s NET rankings, with three teams in the top 10, six in the top 30 and nine in the top 50. That’s roughly two-thirds of the league ranking among the nation’s best. But when the tournament began and only one of those entrants stuck around for the Sweet 16, ridicule of the B1G commenced that has continued unabated....
