TORONTO -- Family, friends and many of hockey's most luminous names bid farewell to Red Kelly at the NHL great's funeral Friday.

The eight-time Stanley Cup champion played 20 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs. He died at 91 on May 2, exactly 52 years after the Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup 1967, the last Toronto team to take the title.

Honorary pallbearers at the funeral included Frank Mahovlich, Darryl Sittler, Lanny McDonald, Bob Baun, Dick Duff, Ron Ellis, Dave Keon, Eddie Shack and Jim Gregory.

Also at the funeral were Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan, general manager Kyle Dubas, Detroit GM Steve Yzerman, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and former Toronto captain Wendel Clark.

Leonard Patrick Kelly started his hockey career as a defenseman but switched to center after his trade to Toronto. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1969.

Kelly is survived by Andra, his wife of 60 years, four children and eight grandchildren.

Lancashire 304 for 4 (Jennings 96, Vilas 70*) beat Middlesex 284 (Harris 117, Simpson 74, Mahmood 4-38) by 20 runs

There is, in case you missed it, quite a kerfuffle at present about the sudden availability of a genuinely quick new-ball bowler, a man with the potential to add a new level of pizzazz to England's World Cup attack. But not even in his wildest dreams could Jofra Archer hope to hoover up 25 wickets at 18.88 in his first nine matches of the tournament, to propel his team into the semi-finals.

Saqib Mahmood has done just that for Lancashire in the Royal London Cup. In spite of a startlingly heroic fightback led by James Harris, whose maiden List A hundred included a sixth-wicket stand of 197 with John Simpson that carried a spirited chase deep into the penultimate over, the ferocity of Mahmood's new-ball burst was an intervention that could not be patched over in the final analysis.

It was, nevertheless, the most improbable sporting thriller since … well, the midweek Champions League fixtures. Somehow, Middlesex clawed their way back from oblivion at 24 for 5 in the tenth over, as a batting line-up that had been denuded by injury and international call-up - with Paul Stirling, Dawid Malan and Eoin Morgan all missing from their first-choice XI - instead found itself relying on a makeshift No.6 whose previous highest List A was a paltry 32.

Harris arrived in the middle with his side in freefall and Mahmood enjoying the ultimate Master-and-Apprentice learning experience alongside the ageless Lord of Lord's, Jimmy Anderson, who produced yet another Pavilion End masterclass, and even topped and tailed his day with a pair of direct-hit run-outs.

Screaming to the crease with the biomechanical purity of Brett Lee, allied to a splayed-limb final flourish that evoked Waqar Younis in his pomp, Mahmood blew away Sam Robson and Stevie Eskinazi - the latter to a rabbit-in-the-headlines hook that spiralled to square leg - before producing an off-stump snorter that a batsman with the class and form of Ross Taylor could only nibble to the keeper.

The game was a goner - and long before half-time this time - so Harris decided to trust both his eye and his partner, and enjoy the rare opportunity to set out his stall for the bulk of a 50-over innings.

For a full 30 overs, he thrived - bossing the change bowlers, not least the legspinner Matt Parkinson, on a pitch that Lancashire's own batsmen had already demonstrated was full of runs. Without ever exerting themselves, Lancashire had themselves eased to a total of 304 for 4, with Keaton Jennings' 159-run stand with Stephen Croft providing the backbone before Dane Vilas' 70 not out from 67 had applied some late urgency.

However, it seemed for a long while that Lancashire would regret not getting more of a wriggle on against a Middlesex attack lacking the senior statesmen, Steven Finn and Tim Murtagh, and which at times seemed to be relying on a combination of bluff and guts to stay in touch. No-one had epitomised that better than the medium-pacer George Scott, whose early diving catch at midwicket to remove Liam Livingstone was the outstanding fielding moment of the day, and whose looping leg-stump yorker somehow wriggled into Jennings' timbers to extract him for 96 and complete a notable maiden List A wicket.

But Harris simply kept his composure, and once Mahmood and Anderson had been withdrawn after six overs each, he correctly ascertained that by batting through the overs, the runs would have to come on a pitch as true as Lord's. He brought up a superb century from 90 balls, with nine fours and two sixes in consecutive overs off Matt Parkinson and Graham Onions, and the increasing frequency of Lancashire's brains trust gatherings was a clear indication of their mounting doubts.

But then, in the 41st over, everything changed again. Swinging across the line to Parkinson, Harris let his back foot twitch fatally as his toe strayed out of the crease, and then two balls later, calamity struck, as the new man, Scott, slapped an inside-out drive to mid-off, and sold Simpson a dummy as Anderson's dead eye pinged down the stumps at the far end.

Though Scott made amends as best he could, with Toby Roland-Jones also digging deep in an eighth-wicket stand of 45, Mahmood would not be denied. Back he came at the death, finding his yorkers at will to strangle the scoring rate, before earning a somewhat fortuitous fourth wicket, as Scott was pinned on the knee-roll by an inswinger, albeit outside the line.

With the situation getting frantic, Nathan Sowter ran himself out with a suicidal single to the keeper, before Roland-Jones picked out deep midwicket one ball later to end Middlesex's spirited campaign. It's been 31 years and counting since they last won a List A title - but there has been much to admire in their white-ball endeavours this year.

Lancashire, meanwhile, march on to face Hampshire in the semi-final on Sunday, and with a world-class strike bowler bubbling up in their ranks, they may yet believe that today's hard-fought win was but a dress rehearsal for their own overdue return to trophy-winning ways at Lord's.

Afghanistan 269 for 3 (Rahmat 113, Hashmatullah 59*, Shahzad 55) beat Scotland 325 for 7 (MacLeod 100, Coetzer 73) by two runs (DLS method)

Just over a year ago in Zimbabwe, Scotland's pursuit of a World Cup berth ended in heartbreak after a flash rain storm curtailed their tense chase against West Indies at Harare, resulting in the Saltires being on the short end of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern calculation by five runs.

On Friday in Edinburgh, one of the two sides that benefited from the intervention of the weather last year in Harare - Afghanistan - wound up on the right side once again as a crucial boundary from Hashmatullah Shahidi to begin the 45th over while rain intensified at the Grange helped them stay ahead on DLS to secure a two-run win over the hosts. The result is another 1-0 series win for Afghanistan in Edinburgh, repeating the same margin from their two-match series in 2016.

For Afghanistan it was sweet revenge after the defeat they suffered to Scotland last year at the Qualifier. On that occasion, Calum MacLeod struck a magnificent 157 not out against the vaunted spin triumvirate of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

MacLeod repeated the three-figure feat again at the Grange, making an even 100 for his eighth ODI ton and third in his last eight matches. Scotland's No. 3 helped plunder 99 off the last 10 overs aided by a blistering cameo from George Munsey in which the left-handed pillaged 21 off new captain Gulbadin Naib in the 42nd with a pair of fours and sixes.

It spoiled Naib's figures after he had been a lone figure helping to somewhat stem the flow of runs in the absence of Rashid, Nabi and Mujeeb, making Afghanistan's ability to squeeze out a win without their three aces all the more remarkable. The allrounder ended a 76-run opening stand getting Matthew Cross for 32 prodding an edge to Mohammad Shahzad just after the drinks break. He then lured his opposite number Kyle Coetzer into slapping a return catch at thigh height for 79, then bowled Richie Berrington for 33 off 20 missing a slog in the 40th.

At 296 for 4 after 47, Hamid Hassan did brilliantly at the death to help limit the damage. In his first ODI for nearly three years, Hamid took two wickets in the 49th, teaming with Najibullah Zadran for a sharp pair of takes at deep square leg to claim both MacLeod and the ominous Craig Wallace two balls later for 20. After a fruitless four-over opening spell of 0 for 9 in which he hustled Coetzer and Cross off a newly shortened run-up, it was a just reward for Hamid on his comeback, after grinding through injuries and rehabilitation, and helped ensure Scotland added just 29 in the last three overs on an exceptionally flat pitch.

The death bowling made all the difference on a ground where Scotland made 371 last year, albeit with the boundary ropes dragged a bit further in. Whereas Scotland were circumspect in reaching 38 for 0 in their Powerplay after opting to bat first, Afghanistan were far more aggressive in their first ten behind Shahzad, Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmat Shah to reach 58 for 1. It took a sensational catch running back from mid-off by Coetzer to remove Zazai, otherwise wickets never looked likely while Shahzad and Rahmat were together in a 93-run stand.

Shahzad raised his fifty off 61 balls with a four slashed past the wicketkeeper. Despite Afghanistan being well ahead of the game, he continued taking risks to up the ante until he fell flicking Alasdair Evans to Wallace at deep square leg for 55.

Man of the Match Rahmat was a rock at the other end though, repeating his own heroics from Afghanistan's last visit to the Grange in 2016 when he scored his maiden ODI ton. The classy right-hander, who fell agonisingly short by two runs of what would have been Afghanistan's maiden Test ton in March against Ireland, would not be denied of his fourth one-day century, bringing up the landmark off 107 balls in the 38th over.

At that stage, Afghanistan were 215 for 2, four ahead of the DLS par score as sunny skies quickly turned bleak. Offspinner Tom Sole had been bowling much of his spell with sunglasses on but took them off as the storm clouds drew closer. He struck in the 40th, getting Rahmat to chip loosely to Berrington at midwicket in the ring for a sharp low catch. It brought Scotland nearly even on DLS, but Afghanistan continued finding key boundaries when they needed them.

Scotland's bowlers struggled to finish off an over, conceding a four or a six on the final ball on six occasions, including a crucial moment in the 39th to Rahmat. Every time Scotland threatened to inch ahead on DLS, Hashmatullah and Asghar Afghan found the requisite four to ease the pressure.

Afghanistan were level with the DLS par score of 267 after 44.4 overs as the showers progressed into a full-fledged storm. Evans waited at the top of his mark while wicketkeeper Cross held up his arms at the umpires, but Kumar Dharmasena was unmoved. A wicket off the fifth ball would have put Scotland ahead on DLS by three runs. Instead, Afghan clipped an attempted yorker off his pads for two to put Afghanistan in front for good, as Dharmasena could ignore the elements no more and the players were taken off with no chance of play resuming before the 7.30 pm cutoff.

Afghanistan move on to Ireland next week, with two ODIs scheduled for May 19 and 21. Scotland have a week to regroup before welcoming Sri Lanka for two ODIs on May 18 and 21 at the Grange.

Shreyas Iyer has referred to Delhi Capitals' run to the IPL playoffs as a "dream season" and one he expects his team to build on next year. He also said he was "proud" of the way his team bounced back after a poor 2018 season with many of the players "showing initiative and taking responsibility'.

Capitals made it to the playoffs after a six-year gap and won a tight eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad before being outclassed by Chennai Super Kings in the second qualifier in Visakhapatnam. "It's been a dream season for us and it's just the start," Iyer told the host broadcaster after the match. "We've got a lot more to come next season and yes, we have gelled as a team and we've found the pace and now it's time to grow from here on.

"I am really proud the way [Capitals] played this season. The last season specially was really disappointing for us and the way we came out this year, everybody took that initiative and responsibility till this game."

The one grievance most of the Capitals' management had expressed throughout the season was regarding the low and slow nature of the pitch at the Feroz Shah Kotla, their home ground. Coach Ricky Ponting had said after the home defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad that the pitch did not suit Capitals' style of play, whether it was the fast bowlers or the free-flowing batsmen. Capitals lost three out of their seven matches at home and Iyer also said it was an issue they needed to think about.

"It's something to think about, the home games especially we didn't win that many matches," Iyer said. "But can't really complain about the wickets. We have played a lot of our games on slow wickets, we've been practicing a lot, even the wickets we practice on in Delhi aren't that safe for the batsmen because they have uneven bounce."

Iyer felt that a poor Powerplay and lack of partnerships throughout their innings proved to be Capitals' undoing against Super Kings. Capitals lost openers Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw in the first six overs, only managing to put 41 on the board in that period. While Super Kings only bettered that Powerplay total by one run, they didn't lose a wicket.

The highest partnership for the Capitals was the 22 added by Rishabh Pant and Sherfane Rutherford for the sixth wicket and while four of their top five batsmen got starts, none of them got a substantial score. By contrast, both Super Kings openers went on to to score fifties, virtually killing the chase with their 81-run stand.

"We also expected the same, coming from Delhi, if the wicket was slow, it would have really helped us because we play in that soil and the wicket played quite similar," Iyer said.

"We didn't get that many runs as we expected, we really had a disappointing start, lost two wickets in the Powerplay, it was really tough to continue after that. We know that they have amazing spin bowling in between, it's really difficult to control in that part. None of the batsmen took initiative to take the team through and there wasn't any partnership building up."

DALLAS -- It was difficult to miss Tony Romo's enthusiasm in his first words as he walked to the scoring tent after his second-round 74 at the AT&T Byron Nelson on Friday.

"I think we've got a chance," Romo said.

Romo's 74 left him at 8-over for the tournament and well off the cut line to play the weekend in a PGA Tour event for the first time, but the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback shot his best round in his third sponsor's exemption over the last two years.

"I think more than anything, I got a sense to be able to hit a lot of high-quality shots under what is a pressure situation for me," Romo said. "That's encouraging and shows that the work you're doing holds up when it counts. And from there, you just got to find the little things that allow you to keep things going and not derail a round. Just small stuff, technique-wise, but we're coming on."

Romo hit nine of 14 fairways and 11 greens Friday after hitting just six fairways and eight greens in Thursday's first round. He shot 40 on the back nine Thursday and was even par on Nos. 10-18 on Friday (his first nine), including a 17-foot birdie on the par-5 14th hole.

He got to as low as 4-over with a birdie on the par-5 first hole for the second straight day and as high as 9-over with three bogeys and a double-bogey in a five-hole stretch. He moved back to 8-over with a birdie on No. 7 for the second straight day, nearly made a birdie on No. 8 and hit a pitch to within 2 feet for par on No. 9, a hole he double-bogeyed Thursday.

"I hit so many good shots today," Romo said. "I mean, I kind of know that the driver is going to be the ability to go low because you have to put yourself in position to attack the pins consistently. I think you found the next step of what we're going to be working on [with the driver]. I think it's more just your ability to keep your misses small. Out here, golf is a game of misses."

Scottie Scheffler, who also received a sponsor's exemption, shot a second-round 69 and came away impressed with Romo's improvement. He played with Romo at the Web.com Tour qualifying school last September, and he has played with Romo at different courses over the years.

"It's drastically different," Scheffler said of Romo's game. "When we played together at first stage, he was going through a lot of swing changes, so he didn't really have his best game. But this week, those first nine holes, I was pretty impressed. He's made a lot of improvements. I mean even from when I played with him a couple of months ago, he's gotten a lot better."

Romo's other playing partner, Dylan Frittelli, grew up in South Africa and did not know who Romo was until he arrived at the University of Texas.

"His golf is really good," said Frittelli, who is 3-under through two rounds. "I've heard from other guys who've played with him in mini-Tour stuff and amateur events in the States, 'Oh, he's pretty good. He can hold his own.' But I didn't expect that [level of play], to be honest. He's got all the pieces to the puzzle to be a really good golfer.

"As we were chatting around the course, his driver is the one weak point right now. If he can tighten that up ... it's just a matter of time. You could see he was much more comfortable today. He was used to the people and the crowd and the way the course is playing. So a lot more experience will definitely help. If he keeps making jumps like that, I mean I'm not going to say he's going to get on Tour, but he can definitely play some mini-Tour stuff, make some money and get some invites here and there and surely make the cut. If he keeps playing, he's definitely going to be able to make a cut on the PGA Tour."

It might be slightly more difficult to make 3-pointers next season.

The NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee has proposed moving the 3-point line back to the international basketball distance, more than one foot farther than the current line.

The international 3-point line is 22 feet, 1¾ inches, while the current 3-point line is 20 feet, 9 inches. It was moved from 19 feet, 9 inches prior to the 2008-09 season.

The proposal must next be approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel on June 5. If passed, it would go into effect next season in Division I and, because of potential financial impact, the 2020-21 season for Divisions II and III.

"After gathering information over the last two seasons, we feel it's time to make the change," said Colorado coach Tad Boyle, the committee chair. "Freedom of movement in the game remains important, and we feel this will open up the game. We believe this will remove some of the congestion on the way to the basket."

The 2018 and 2019 National Invitation Tournaments used the international 3-point line among experimental rules.

According to the committee, moving the 3-point line back would clear the lane for more drives to the rim, make 3-point shots more challenging and therefore less prevalent, and improve offensive spacing.

"The time is right because it gets college guys close to the NBA line," Villanova coach Jay Wright told NCAA.com. "The shooting has improved enough that moving back is warranted. The line back will create better spacing and help with freedom of movement."

The committee also recommended four other proposals:

• Resetting the shot clock to 20 seconds after offensive rebounds;

• Players being assessed Flagrant 2 technical fouls and ejections for using derogatory language about an opponent's race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability;

• Allowing coaches to call live-ball timeouts in the last two minutes of the second half and overtime;

• Conducting instant replay review for goaltending or basket interference calls in the final two minutes of the second half and overtime.
