Tye was included in the team in place of Jason Roy and that decision paid off really well. Another area of concern would be skipper Rohit Sharma's inability to read the googly. Raina was also full of praises for the opening duo of Dwayne Smith (47) and Brendon McCullum (49), who set the platform for a comfortable chase with a 94-run opening partnership.

They remain in the driving seat and will face only one top-seven side - Everton - in their last six games, but Conte suggested his team can no longer be considered outright favourites.

Cavs sign Edy Tavares, Dahntay Jones; waive Larry Sanders

Iglesias, Zimmermann power Tigers past Red Sox, 4-1
Currently Boston is in third place at 3-2 in the AL East one game behind the Orioles and Rays, who are tied for first place. Pablo Sandoval's 2016 was the nadir of his career: The Red Sox third baseman played in three games, reached base once in seven plate appearances, and went to the season-ending DL after a shoulder surgery, although he was visibly overweight by his standards and once broke his belt while taking a cut.

I just thought if we got to those 50/50 balls and the offensive rebounds that it'd have been a totally different game.
