England grab late draw against Scotland For much of the match, things appeared to be drifting towards a rather dour scoreless draw, only for substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to strike midway through the second half. The prospects of a Scottish equaliser seemed scant, let alone them turning the game on its head, yet two fine Leigh Griffiths free-kicks in the space of three minutes did just that. But, with the hosts on the brink of an unlikely and historic victory, Harry Kane was the benefactor of some benevolent defending to level matters in stoppage time....

Starting with Sunday’s regular-season home opener against the Packers, Caribou Coffee, teaming with stadium concessionaire Aramark, will offer White Rushin’, made with Kahlua and vodka, and Spiked Mint Condition, with peppermint schnapps, as well as Irish Coffee.

The Hurricanes brought in two established defensemen this offseason — trading for Dougie Hamilton, and signing Calvin de Haan. That means seven players for six spots on game nights, and they hope the strength in those numbers will finally end the NHL’s longest active playoff drought. And while No. 2 overall draft pick Andrei Svechnikov and 2017 first-rounder Martin Necas will draw much of the attention, the strength of this team could be a defensive unit that ranks among the best in the Eastern Conference....

Namibia Women will play Zimbabwe Women before facing Uganda Women in the sixth game of the Capricorn Women’s Tri-Series 2022.

On the outside: Windows-based phones look bright, colorful and cheery. Both Nokia and HTC have given their phones a colorful exterior and they do catch your eye at first glance.
