It has been a grinding effort from England but, led by Graeme Swann and Stuart Broad with two wickets apiece, they gained momentum as the fourth day, making regular inroads into Bangladesh’s batting order to set up the prospect of 2-0 series win. The home side limped to 172 for 6 – a lead of 95 – as their resistance began to falter after Tamim Iqbal was dismissed for a belligerent 52. Shakib Al Hasan remained unbeaten on 25 and it will be down to him to try and give his side something to defend on the final day.After battling hard during the first three days Bangladesh’s resistance is finally starting to crack with England able to apply pressure. However, once again it wasn’t a faultless performance from the visitors who batted ponderously during the morning and then spurned a number of chances, some easier than others, in the field.With the ball beginning to turn appreciably, Tamim was given three lives off James Tredwell in his short, but enterprising innings when Bangladesh came out to bat for the second time with a deficit 77. The first came in Tredwell’s opening over as he immediately found some purchase off the wicket to graze the edge of Tamim’s bat, but the deflection bounced out of Matt Prior’s gloves and a tumbling Paul Collingwood on slip could not hold on either.Unperturbed by Imrul Kayes’s unlucky dismissal – bowled after the ball ricocheted off his thigh pad – Tamim continued in a positive vein but almost paid the price when, on 26, he charged down the track to Tredwell and slammed the ball very hard at a catchable height back to the bowler. However, the ball slipped through his fingers, and with Junaid Siddique trundling along steadily at the other end, Bangladesh had reduced their deficit to four when Tamim was dropped the third time – and this one was by far the easiest of the lot. He swished wildly and the ball looped gently towards Jonathan Trott at point but he somehow managed to let the ball slip through his fingers.Tamim’s luck finally ran out shortly after he had brought up his second half century of the match as he slashed at Swann and Broad held on to a regulation chance at point. Jahurul Islam strode out to the middle on a pair in his first Test, with Bangladesh at 86 for 2, and got off the mark in emphatic style by lofting his sixth ball over long on. His next scoring shot was another six as he mowed Tredwell back over his head.In the second unlucky dismissal of the day, Junaid – who had settled in nicely – went back to Tredwell and forced the ball firmly off the back foot and straight onto Cook’s foot at silly mid off. The ball popped gently back to Tredwell and Junaid fell to a singularly peculiar caught and bowled. Mahmudullah, who scored a defiant 59 in the first innings, was soon undone by an impressive piece of bowling by Bresnan, who had been moving the ball both ways and shaped one away to take a thin outside edge as Bangladesh slipped to 130 for 4.England sensed their opening, and after a brief period of resistance Jahurul was completely outfoxed by Swann as he stepped out to drive but the ball dipped, gripped and turned through the gap between bat and pad and crashed into the off stump. He bristled with intent in his 43 but appeared only to have two modes – total defence or all-out attack.Mushfiqur Rahim, who has been a solid presence in the middle order throughout England’s tour, strode to the middle with his side in dire need of a stabilising partnership at 156 for 5. With Shakib starting to settle at the other end, captain and vice-captain buckled down but with just over three overs remaining Broad snapped their resistance in the midst of an aggressive final spell.Finding considerable reverse swing, he had a very strong lbw appeal turned down but steamed in to bowl Mushfiqur, via an inside edge, with his very next ball, and Bangladesh were tottering at 169 for 6. Shafiul Islam survived the 12 deliveries he faced before the close, and Shakib remained defiant, but it’s a tough battle ahead.England had extended their lead to 77 in the morning, as their innings was finally wrapped up for 496. Bresnan took his ninth-wicket partnership with Tredwell to 47 in a turgid first hour of play before he fell for 91, skipping down the pitch to Abdur Razzak in the first real display of intent only to be beaten in the flight and by the turn as the ball bit into the surface.His dismissal enlivened what had been a grinding effort from England, as the batsmen had been content to settle for a run rate of under three an over. After Bresnan departe Tredwell started to up the ante, with a brace of boundaries off Shakib, who completed a marathon 66 overs. By the end of the day Shakib was again trying to thwart England, this time with the bat, and he will need a captain’s performance to stave off defeat.
West Ham United are yet to make a move in an attempt to bring Adam Hlozek to the London Stadium in the January transfer window.
What’s the talk?
That’s according to a claim made by ExWHUemployee, who revealed in a recent post on The West Ham Way that, despite there appearing to be a deal to be done for the Sparta Prague centre-forward this month, David Moyes and his West Ham transfer team are yet to make a move for the 19-year-old.
Previous reports had suggested that the Hammers were leading the race for the Czech international’s signing this January, while a number of other Premier League clubs and top European sides – including Liverpool – were also thought to be keeping a close eye on the situation of the forward ahead of a potential move this winter.
However, at present, it would seem there is no bid forthcoming from East London, with Ex stating: “I have been asked why we haven’t moved for Sparta Prague forward Adam Hlozek. Whilst I don’t know for certain the thinking behind it, I believe a deal is there to be had for the player but, at this point, we haven’t decided to do that.”
Fans will be sweating
Considering the high level of January interest in the services of Hlozek, in addition to the fact that West Ham are in desperate need of backup and competition for the injury-prone Michail Antonio – who is currently the Irons’ only centre-forward – the news that Moyes is yet to pull the trigger on a move for the 19-year-old is sure to have left the London Stadium faithful sweating.
Indeed, the youngster would very much look to make a fantastic addition to the 58-year-old’s attacking arsenal, as, over his 18 Fortuna Liga appearances this season, the £17.1m-rated wonderkid has already bagged five goals and registered 11 assists, in addition to bagging a further goal and assist over nine outings in Champions League qualification and the Europa League – taking his haul to six goals and 12 assists in just 27 appearances.
Furthermore, the player who is reported to cost around €25m (£21m) this winter is also extremely versatile, having been fielded on both the left and right-wing, as well as in the number 10 role, a relatively even number of times during his short professional career with Sparta Prague.
As such, when taking into account Hlozek’s undeniable potential, West Ham’s desperate need for a player in the 19-year-old’s mould and the sheer level of January interest in the youngster, it would appear highly advisable for Moyes to make his move for the forward sooner rather than later, or else the Scottish manager only increases his chances of missing out on a deal for the Czech sensation.

Arsenal have been handed a late boost in their bid to sign Yves Bissouma this January transfer window…
What’s the word?
The Gunners were linked with a move for the Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder earlier this month by The Sunday Mirror (09/01, p71), whilst they have seemingly held a long-term interest in signing him.
Now, according to The Times, the Seagulls are prepared to let him go before Monday night’s deadline for a fee of £50m.
Arsenal have missed out on some key midfield targets this window, including Arthur Melo, whose potential loan move from Juventus fell through, and Bruno Guimaraes, who is set to join top-flight rivals Newcastle United.
Arteta needs him
A new central midfielder must be among the many priorities around the Emirates Stadium but time is quickly running out, which is why a move for a player already based in the Premier League makes the world of sense.
Brighton have made their willingness to conduct business very clear, so the door has opened for Edu Gaspar and his recruitment staff to strike. It would be unforgivable not to.
The Gunners have offloaded as many as five players this month already, all without making a single signing, leaving Arteta light on options in the engine room.
It doesn’t help that Thomas Partey and Mo Elneny have been away on international duty but even with them around, there’s a serious lack of depth in midfield.
Bissouma has already proven his credentials in England and would be a fine addition indeed.
As per WhoScored, he’s averaging a whopping 3.6 tackles per game, which sees him top the entire division in this regard, whilst also managing 1.9 interceptions and 1.7 dribbles per outing, too.
He’s evidently an absolute beast in the heart of the pitch, one capable of not only winning the ball back but also driving it forward into the final third. Perhaps exactly what Arsenal are missing.
Former Aston Villa star Lee Hendrie once said: “I did a chat with myself and Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday a few weeks ago talking about Bissouma, and we highlighted what he actually does. I mean, his stats are absolutely phenomenal, the way he breaks the game up, his forward play.”
By comparison, the erroneous Granit Xhaka – who plays a similar role in north London – averages a lower 1.7 tackles, 0.9 interceptions and 0.4 dribbles per match, via WhoScored.
Valued at £22.5m by Transfermarkt, the 25-year-old Mali international has been described as a “wonderful talent” and likened to Yaya Toure in terms of playing style.
Arteta could really do with Bissouma before tomorrow night’s deadline, so it will certainly be an interesting final 24 hours or so.

Defending champions Durham found themselves following on 286 behind and needinga backs-to-the-wall effort to avoid starting their campaign with defeat againstEssex at the Riverside.Chris Wright, Tim Phillips (3 for 8) and Ryan ten Doeschate each tookthree wickets – seven fell for 33 runs in under a session – as Durham werebowled out for 198 in reply to 484 on the third afternoon of their Division One match.When Kyle Coetzer and Will Smith then both made second-innings ducks, Durhamwere four for two. By tea, they had at least moved to 24 without further loss. Essex had eked out just two wickets before lunch in a match which seemed destined for a draw on a sedate pitch.But Dale Benkenstein and Ian Blackwell were able to add only three runs beforethey went in early afternoon and Durham’s last nine wickets lasted only 35overs. Durham resumed on 83 for 1 before some unpredictable low bounce did forCoetzer (55), who had no chance with a ten Doeschate shooter which saw him offlbw.The opener had hit seven fours in his 115-ball 50, and was the more convincing contributor in his 91-run stand with captain Smith. Smith had escaped on 28 when dropped by Alastair Cook, but James Foster made no mistake when Smith edged behind following some more low bounce from Wright (3 for 42).Benkenstein and Blackwell were nonetheless nicely established by lunch, with Durham needing 173 more to avoid the follow-on. However, Blackwell soon chopped a long hop from Wright onto his stumps and Benkenstein edged a catch behind down the leg-side off David Masters.Phil Mustard was lbw trying to clip ten Doeschate (3 for 53) to leg, and then the introduction of Phillips’ spin brought two more in one over. A modicum of turn did the trick for the left-arm orthodox, teenager Ben Stokes edging behind and Callum Thorp bowled for a second-ball duck.A ninth-wicket stand of 20 between Liam Plunkett and Mitch Claydon briefly interrupted the procession, only for both to succumb in quick succession and make the enforcement of the follow-on a formality.Once Masters had then shifted Coetzer and Smith – bowled and edging a usefuldelivery behind respectively – inside three overs second time round, the dangerof a first home defeat since June 2008 was all too evident. Durham had not followed on since September 2006, so whatever the outcome of their struggle they could hardly draw on recent experience.

Na movimentação do mercado neste fim de ano, o São Paulo aguarda um acerto com o Sport para ter Diego Souza e ainda discute a contratação de Gustavo Scarpa, do Fluminense. Mas a prioridade da diretoria de futebol, chefiada por Raí, é garantir a permanência de Hernanes, emprestado pelo Hebei Fortune, da China, até a metade de 2018.
– O mais importante e fundamental é a permanência do Hernanes. Foi fundamental para o São Paulo, sua chegada deu uma qualidade maior não só dentro, mas fora de campo. O Raí está trabalhando em cima disso. A princípio, o clube chinês quer levá-lo agora, mas ele tem contrato até o meio do ano. E o mais importante é que ele quer ficar – disse Ricardo Rocha, recém-contratado como coordenador de futebol, ao Sportv.
– É um jogador espetacular, com qualidade técnica. Ele quer ficar, mas não depende só dele, tem contrato na China. O Raí já está conversando, tentando reverter. Uma coisa o torcedor tem de saber: o Hernanes quer ficar. Isso é muito bom – prosseguiu o ex-zagueiro.
Em relação ao meio-campo, Ricardo Rocha informa que a situação de Gustavo Scarpa passa por um “problema financeiro, do que o Fluminense quer”. No início do mês, o time carioca recusou uma proposta são-paulina de 3 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 11,5 milhões) mais três atletas em troca (o meia Lucas Fernandes e os laterais Buffarini – que já saiu para o Boca Juniors – e Júnior Tavares).
Quem está mais próximo mesmo é Diego Souza. O coordenador de futebol do Tricolor paulista confirmou que o jogador já aceitou uma oferta para atuar na equipe do Morumbi na próxima temporada e o anúncio depende do meio-campista, que negocia sua saída do Sport.
– Tem uma proposta, e o Diego ficou de conversar com o Sport e seu empresário para resolver essa situação. A princípio, ele aceitou a proposta do São Paulo – falou Ricardo Rocha.

يعتقد برشلونة أن مانشستر يونايتد لا يزال حريصًا على ضم فرينكي دي يونج، وفقًا للتقارير، مع سعي البارسا لتعزيز مركز خط الوسط، يستهدف النادي الإسباني صفقة بالفعل من الدوري الإنجليزي.
أراد إريك تن هاج مدرب مانشستر يونايتد، استعادة اللاعب الهولندي الدولي في الصيف، لكن لم تحسم الصفقة واكتفى بوصول كاسيميرو بدلًا من ذلك.
طارد مانشستر يونايتد نجم برشلونة دي يونج بقوة في الصيف، حيث حدد تين هاج بسرعة مواطنه الهولندي كهدف ذي أولوية عند توليه المسؤولية من رالف رانجنيك.
ومع ذلك، انتهى الأمر بلاعب خط الوسط بالبقاء في نو كامب، معتقدًا أنه يمكن أن يكون لاعبًا رئيسيًا لتشافي.
ووفقًا لصحيفة “إكسبريس” البريطانية يعتقد برشلونة أن مانشستر يونايتد لا يزال حريصًا على دي يونج.
ورغم تعاقدهم مع كاسيميرو من ريال مدريد، إلا أن الشياطين الحمر يعرفون أنهم بحاجة إلى تحسين فريقهم من أجل إعادة أيام المجد إلى أولد ترافورد.

ووفقًا لصحيفة “ذا صن” البريطانية، برشلونة سيستهدف لاعب وسط نيوكاسل، برونو جيمارايش كبديل محتمل، مما ينعش آمال مانشستر يونايتد في سعيهم خلف دي يونج.
وانضم جيماريش لصفوف نيوكاسل قادمًا من ليون الفرنسي، مقابل 40 مليون يورو، وشارك معهم في 27 مباراة بمختلف المسابقات، مسجلًا 7 أهداف.
برشلونة ارتبط بالفعل بعدة أسماء لتدعيم خط الوسط، من بينهم مارتن زوبيميندي، لاعب وسط ريال سوسييداد، ونجولو كانتي من تشيلسي.
ومع اقتراب سعي برشلونة على المدى الطويل لاستقطاب برناردو سيلفا لاعب مانشستر سيتي، تحول انتباه فريق تشافي إلى النجم البرازيلي جيماريش.
ينضم فريق تشافي إلى تشيلسي ومنافسه ريال مدريد كخاطبين محتملين لجيماريش، الذي سرعان ما أصبح واحدًا من أفضل اللاعبين في خط الوسط في أوروبا.
كان الفريق الكتالوني يحاول التعاقد مع سيلفا من مانشستر سيتي لمدة 6 أشهر، ولكن في النهاية تم استبعاده من التعاقد مع لاعب خط الوسط – الذي تبلغ قيمته 80 مليون جنيه إسترليني.
