MUMBAI, India (AP) — Two weeks into the Cricket World Cup, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium will finally see some real action.This is a most venerable city — and venue — for Indian cricket. The sport first found its roots in this city’s maidans (local parks) a century ago, and the crowning moment arrived in 2011 when India beat Sri Lanka to lift its second World Cup.This tournament arrives Saturday at a crucial juncture — defending champion England needs to win its next game against South Africa to improve its chances of advancing to the semifinals.Both teams are in a similar state of mind — shell-shocked at their recent losses to Afghanistan and the Netherlands, respectively.Afghanistan beat England in New Delhi by 69 runs to record only its second World Cup win. Two days later, the Netherlands beat South Africa in Dharamsala by 38 runs.England is worse off at this stage.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — When Derek Carr’s fourth-down pass fell incomplete in the end zone, the Jacksonville Jaguars celebrated and Carr and Co. left the Superdome field amid boos from spectators who had watched the New Orleans Saints stall out in virtually the same fashion in Houston last Sunday.“We will join them in that because we’re the ones out there doing it,” Carr said when asked about his message to frustrated fans. “We want to give them a great product. We want to give them wins. They deserve wins. They deserve to see a great product. Hopefully we get our stuff together and get it together quick and start to get on a run so they can enjoy some more moments.”New Orleans has lost four of five and the past two setbacks have come with the Saints threatening — but failing — to score a tying touchdown in the final minute. In Week 6, they stalled at the Houston 24 with four consecutive incomplete passes. On Thursday night, it happened 18 yards closer to the goal line.

And Williams, despite some public assurances that it hopes to keep him in 2024, has felt the strain of Sargeant’s missteps.Williams officials have said Sargeant has “very clear targets” to hit over the final stretch of the season, but exactly what those are, the team and driver haven’t said. Sargeant said Thursday he hasn’t been told to “deliver anything special, but to be consistent and clean. That’s been the message.
