Bangladesh 322 for 3 (Shakib 124*, Liton 94*, Tamim 48) beat West Indies 321 for 8 (Hope 96, Lewis 70, Hetmyer 50, Mustafizur 3-59, Saifuddin 3-72) by seven wickets

As it happened

Shakib Al Hasan produced one of the great World Cup performances, stringing a domineering 124 not out to his two-wicket haul as he anchored Bangladesh's highest chase in an ODI. In the process, he reached 6000 ODI runs, became Bangladesh's highest run-scorer at a World Cup, the second after Mahmudullah to make two centuries for Bangladesh in the tournament, and added his name to yet another one of the six Bangladesh century stands in World Cups. That apart, he also took Bangladesh past West Indies' 321 with 8.3 overs to spare in Liton Das' company.

Shakib came in, as he has done all tournament, at No. 3 despite Liton's inclusion in Bangladesh's XI. At 52 for 1, Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar had provided a start similar to the one during their win against South Africa; this held true both in terms of the scoring rate as well as the kind of new-ball bowling they had faced. Going in with five fast bowlers, West Indies were bowling decidedly short, with little to indicate a Plan B.

This played into Bangladesh's hands on a ground with short boundaries. Tamim led the initial attack, slashing and pulling boundaries, and occasionally jumping on top of the bounce to punch on the rise through the off side as West Indies counted on persistence rather than adaptability with their tactics. According to ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball data, 112 balls were short or short of a good length. Bangladesh made 177 runs against those deliveries and lost two wickets.

It took a sharp piece of fielding from Sheldon Cottrell in his bowling follow through to provide West Indies a half-chance, one that he took as he tore down the stumps at the striker's end even as Tamim fell short looking to dive back into his crease. It was about when rain made its first appearance, but not enough to force the players off. Shortly after, Bangladesh lost Mushfiqur Rahim caught down the leg side with an over left for the 20-over DLS cut-off. But as they navigated that situation, staying narrowly ahead of the DLS par score, the sun crept out. And with it came a step-up from Shakib.

It was not, strictly speaking, a silken innings. But that was down to West Indies' lengths. The pull was Shakib's staple, but not the high-scoring option that it usually is. It mostly helped him get off strike, off the toe and off the under-edge most often. But in the middle of this arduous accumulation, Shakib played some powerful cuts, and produced several brilliant punches down the ground to find boundaries. In all, six of his 16 boundaries came between wide mid-off and mid-on. In essence, he blunted West Indies' attack at his ribs, while staying prepared for scoring opportunities on the front foot. With the erratic spells Shannon Gabriel and Oshane Thomas bowled, the absence of a spinner, and a limping Andre Russell for fifth bowler, West Indies lost their grip through the middle overs.

That made it even easier for Shakib and Liton, whose freedom led to some risk-taking. But top-edges fell between converging fielders, edges flew either side of the keeper - apart from those that were helped past him - and by the time West Indies had begun processing what Shakib had done, Liton himself had raced to fifty on World Cup debut.

The 189-run fourth-wicket stand was built largely on a blueprint of progressive attacking until the 38th over, which began with three sixes off Gabriel, all of them off the back foot from Liton. The first and third were bouncers, sent in deep square-leg's direction, while the second was a slug over mid-off to a full ball. By the end of it, the two were doing whatever they wanted. Twenty-four came off that over, this World Cup's most expensive one, and Bangladesh were 294 for 3. There were no hiccups from there on.

The day had begun with a win at the toss, and a maiden over to Chris Gayle, who was threatened enough by Mohammad Saifuddin's inswinger to stay inside the line and edge behind in the fourth over for an 11-ball duck. It was the perfect start. And then Saifuddin didn't bowl for the next 25 overs.

What they missed out on from Gayle, West Indies gained from their persistence with Evin Lewis. Having fallen for single-digit scores in both matches before this one, Lewis finally found some rhythm as the pressure was almost immediately released after Gayle's dismissal. He was watchful to some extent, with hardly any swings through the line, and kept the rate up as Shai Hope dug into another laborious ODI innings. Like West Indies, Bangladesh also bowled predominantly short or short of a length - the spinners and the seamers - and this allowed Lewis and Hope to set their own pace in a 116-run stand. Just after getting to his fifty, Lewis decided to pick up his scoring; a couple of sixes ensued before slicing a full one to long-off off Shakib.

An induced slice is how Shakib also dismissed Nicholas Pooran, who went too hard with his slog sweep, having just smacked Mehidy Hasan onto the roof of the straight boundary. In both cases, Shakib had exploited the dip and drift he got from bowling into the wind, a plan far removed from the other spinners on the day.

Shimron Hetmyer attempted three sweeps off his first three balls, a signal that was received by Hope at the other end as he forced Mustafizur Rahman to bowl three short balls at the start of the 35th over - only two of which were legal - that cost 15 runs. Hetmyer soon connected a few slogs over the leg side against Saifuddin, and then neutralised Mehidy's offbreaks as well on his way to a 25-ball fifty.

But there was to be a comeback from Mustafizur; Tamim, diving, held on to a miscued slog from Hetmyer and two balls later, Mustafizur got Russell to edge an offcutter behind. This briefly halted West Indies' charge, but Jason Holder used his reach to cart an 18-ball 33, six of which came with a 105-metre hit over midwicket. His innings, too, ended early though. Early enough for West Indies to stray towards caution in the 44th over; with Darren Bravo at No. 8, this would have seemed strange, but for all practical purposes, that's where West Indies' batting ended. And so, Hope, who barely struck at more than 80, had one more reason to try and bat longer. He didn't manage it, falling to Mustafizur for 96 off 121 with three overs to spare. West Indies only managed 61 off their last eight overs - Holder said after the match that they were 40-50 short.

After a circuitous career that began 17 years ago in Arizona, quarterback Josh McCown is retiring from football, he announced Monday on The Players' Tribune.

McCown, who turns 40 on July 4, spent the past two seasons with the New York Jets. He made the decision to retire after consulting with his family for the past few months. His body feels fresh -- he appeared in only four games last season -- but he decided to move on to the next chapter.

"I guess it just goes to show that you don't always get to choose your own path," McCown wrote. "But looking back, I'm proud of how my career has gone. I don't shy away from the journeyman label. I embrace it, full force.

"Because it's been one heck of a journey."

Later Monday, it was announced that McCown is joining ESPN as an NFL analyst. He will make his debut Wednesday on NFL Live.

"I am excited to make the transition into broadcasting with ESPN which will allow me to still be involved with the game I love. I look forward to bringing ESPN viewers the unique insights that I have gained throughout my career," he said in a statement.

Jets coach Adam Gase, speaking at the start of the offseason, left open the possibility of McCown's return, but the team opted to sign Trevor Siemian as Sam Darnold's backup.

McCown never was a star player in the league, but his career is extraordinary in its own right. He played for eight teams over 17 years, beginning with the Arizona Cardinals in 2002; in fact, he was the last player from the 2002 draft to still be active. He spent four seasons with Arizona, then played for Detroit, Oakland and Carolina. He also spent time with Miami and San Francisco, but never played in games for them.

After one season out of the NFL, McCown restarted his career with the Chicago Bears (2011 to 2013), enjoying a terrific 2013 season in which he threw 13 touchdown passes and only one interception.

He spent most of his career as the proverbial "bridge" quarterback, bouncing from one rebuilding situation to another. That was his role with the Jets; he also was heavily involved in mentoring Darnold.

After enjoying a career year in 2017, McCown lost his job in the preseason to Darnold, a first-round pick. It wasn't much of a competition. McCown spent nearly the entire preseason watching from the sideline as Darnold was given a clear path to the starting job.

McCown embraced his role as Darnold's mentor. When McCown re-signed in March 2018 (one year, $10 million), he knew there was a good chance the team would draft a quarterback in the first round. The Jets wanted him back because of his unselfish attitude and willingness to help young quarterbacks. It was costly from a financial standpoint, but it was "money well spent," Jets CEO Christopher Johnson said.

"I think it was just awesome to be able to learn and watch him," Darnold said of McCown, who lived in the same building as the young quarterback and spent countless hours with him outside the team's facility.

Well-traveled McCown was pressed into starting duty for three straight games when Darnold was out with a foot injury, weeks 10 to 12, but he wasn't able to recapture his 2017 form. He struggled mightily, completing only 54.5 percent of his passes for 539 yards, with one touchdown and four interceptions. The Jets lost all three games.

McCown signed with the Jets in 2017 after starting 22 games over the previous three seasons for Tampa Bay and Cleveland. He landed the Jets' starting job by default, as young quarterbacks Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty struggled in the preseason. McCown wound up setting career highs for completions (267), yards (2,926) and touchdown passes (18). The players voted him team MVP even though he missed the last three games with a broken hand.

"No matter what team I was on, I tried to serve it to the best of my ability, and I tried to influence my team in a positive manner," McCown wrote on The Players' Tribune. "I hope I did that. And I made sure that when my number was called, I was prepared, and I gave it everything I had, every time."

For his career, McCown has 17,707 yards, 98 touchdown passes, 82 interceptions and a 79.7 passer rating.

The Golden State Warriors took out a full-page ad in Monday's edition of the Toronto Star to congratulate the Toronto Raptors on their NBA title.

"The Golden State Warriors congratulate the Toronto Raptors on their historic achievement and bringing the 2019 NBA championship to the City of Toronto," the ad reads.

The ad appeared in the sports section on the day when the Raptors held their victory parade through the streets of Toronto.

The Raptors completed their six-game series victory in the NBA Finals with a win Thursday in Oakland, California.

The team was initially expected back in Toronto on Saturday, but instead most players stayed an additional night celebrating in Las Vegas.

LaMelo Ball has joined the Illawarra Hawks of the Australian National Basketball League, he announced on ESPN's The Jump on Monday.

Ball, a 17-year-old point guard, played for a year in Lithuania in 2018, so it's unlikely that he could play in college under NCAA eligibility rules.

The NBL has become a destination for players looking for a year of competitive play before they are eligible for the NBA draft. It's a nine-team league that begins play in early October and ends in late March. Ball agreed to a two-year deal with NBA out clauses.

"My agents did a ton of research on the options I had to play this coming season, and Australia really made sense for me," Ball told ESPN. "They have a really strong league, with excellent coaches and great players, including former and future NBA players, and great strength and conditioning programs. My goal is to be the top pick in next year's draft, and I feel they can help me reach that goal. Also, the timing of the season works well with the timing of next year's draft."

Ball, the No. 21 prospect in the ESPN 100 class of 2019, will join ESPN No. 5 prospect RJ Hampton as American teenagers who elected to spend their one-and-done season between high school and the NBA in the NBL. Hampton signed with another NBL team, the New Zealand Breakers, in late May. Both players were brought in under the NBL's Next Stars program, which has emerged as a competitor with college basketball and the G League as pathways to the NBA.

"I had already decided to play in the NBL prior to RJ's decision, I just hadn't yet narrowed down the team," Ball said. "But having RJ there only adds to the excitement. I think it will be a good experience for both of us to be there at the same time and to be able to play against one another."

LaMelo's brother Lonzo was the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA draft and a key component of the Anthony Davis trade between the New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers that was agreed to this weekend.

LaMelo Ball spent four months in Lithuania at the beginning of 2018 with BC Vytautas. He averaged 6.5 points and 2.4 assists in 13 minutes over eight games in the Lithuanian first division, despite being only 16 years old at the time. His best game of the season came against Lithuanian league champion Zalgiris -- a team that qualified for the EuroLeague Final Four later that year -- with 19 points and six assists in 27 minutes.

"I am really looking forward to playing professionally this season, so that I can focus all of my time and energy on basketball," Ball said. "My experience in Lithuania will help make the adjustment easier. Playing overseas professionally at just 16 years old put me in a place where I had to figure things out quickly, and I think that experience will make a huge difference for me in Australia."

While no ruling was made, Ball was considered unlikely to be eligible to play college basketball because he was tied to Vytautas, was represented by an agent and has his own sneaker line, which he promoted using his likeness. All those things could violate NCAA eligibility rules.

Ball returned to the United States this season to play high school basketball at Spire Academy in Ohio, where he was coached by former NBA player Jermaine Jackson. Jackson -- who played 130 games over five seasons in the NBA and also played internationally -- will accompany Ball to Australia to assist him with the transition.

"Having JJ with me has been incredible," Ball said. "His experience, guidance and mentorship has been a huge benefit to me, and having him there in Australia will only continue to help my development on and off the court."

Ball was ranked as the No. 7 prospect in his high school class, according to ESPN recruiting rankings, when his father, LaVar, abruptly withdrew him from Chino Hills High School shortly after his 16th birthday. Ball was committed to UCLA at the time. LaVar's off-the-court actions -- which included starting his own sneaker company, basketball league and a reality TV show on Facebook -- have drawn a significant amount of worldwide attention, helping LaMelo build a global following that includes 4.5 million followers on Instagram. From a marketing standpoint alone, Ball's signing is a boon to the NBL, which currently sports 78,000 followers on Instagram.

Ball will join one of the smaller-market teams in Australia. The Hawks play in Wollongong, a blue-collar, working-class city of 300,000 people located 55 miles south of Sydney. The team finished last season tied with the Breakers for sixth place in the NBL. Ball is expected to compete for significant playing time at both guard spots.

"The conversations with the team really made me feel like this is going to be a great fit," Ball said. "I felt they understood my goals and have a plan for me in terms of growth and development, and I was really excited about their goals for winning."

"We couldn't be more excited to have LaMelo coming to join the NBL this season," NBL CEO Jeremy Loeliger told ESPN. "I think it's a real win-win situation for everyone involved. It gives him a fantastic opportunity to play against some hardened professionals, which I think will do wonders in terms of getting him ready for his rookie year in the NBA. He'll get the chance to answer a lot of questions being asked by a lot of people -- and everything I've seen makes me think he's going to take a lot of them by surprise."

Illawarra's new head coach, Matt Flinn, echoed those thoughts: "The Illawarra Hawks have a long history of developing great young players, many of whom have gone into great things in Australia, Europe and the NBA, and the signing of LaMelo is testimony to that," Flinn said. "Together we will work hard so he can achieve his ultimate goal."

At 6-foot-7, Ball has unique talent for the modern NBA game with his size, creativity, ballhandling, passing ability and deep shooting range. Scouts will want to evaluate his thin frame, unorthodox shooting mechanics, casual style of play and inconsistent effort defensively. The NBL is known for its physical play and will pose a significant challenge for the 17-year-old, who doesn't possess much experience against higher levels of competition.

Ball has impressed this summer with his performances at the Drew League, a pro-am summer tournament that draws some of the best talent from Los Angeles but is played at all-star-style pace. Before this news, Ball was ranked No. 33 in ESPN's most recent 2020 mock draft, partly because of the uncertainty surrounding his playing situation for 2019-20. He will be projected as a first-round pick in the next ESPN forecast released after the NBA draft on Thursday.

Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said Monday that he looks at any tension between Chris Paul and James Harden as a good thing because it means both stars want to win.

Morey, speaking in an interview with ESPN Radio's Golic & Wingo, also said Paul has not asked to be traded by the team.

"No. No, he has not," he said.

Morey was responding to an ESPN story published Monday that detailed turmoil around the team and tension between its two biggest stars, Harden and Paul.

"We have two high-level competitors, Chris and James, who their only goal in life at this point is to win the title. They've accomplished everything else, they are both going to be first-ballot Hall of Famers. Two competitive superstars at that level, there's going to be times when they are extremely competitive, extremely focused on how do we get to that next level, and when we don't there's going to be frustration," Morey said. "I'm frustrated, our top players are frustrated, Mike D'Antoni is frustrated. We want to take the last step and be the champion and I think it's good that there is tension in the sense that we all want to win."

As for D'Antoni's future, Morey said he is confident the team and coach will eventually come to an agreement to extend his contract beyond next season. D'Antoni announced last month that he has broken off talks with the team after he couldn't come to terms on an extension.

"He's going to be our coach next year. We're hoping to work things out for the future right now; if we don't, we're going to work it out after next season," he said. "We love Mike, he's a favorite of our players -- all our top players love playing for him. We're going to work it out."

Morey said the Rockets will be aggressive this offseason to solidify their status as favorites, in his opinion, to win the Western Conference. He acknowledged, however, that making moves will likely bring more tension.

"We feel like we should be the favorite in the West, and we're going to do moves to show people that we should be the favorite in the West, and that's going to create a little tension when we do that. But at the end of the day, we're going to have at least our starting five back, which again most teams are scrambling to keep it together and we're going to spend midlevel, we're going to spend into the tax. We're going to be one of the most expensive rosters like we were last year and this year and we're going to be right there," he said.

Morey credited owner Tilman Fertitta for allowing him to be aggressive.

"Tilman wants to win. He's spending whatever it takes. He's authorized me to go into the tax for multiple years going forward. We're going to spend whatever it takes to win," he said.

Asked for his reaction to the Los Angeles Lakers' trade for Anthony Davis, Morey said, "Somehow we've been lost in the shuffle."

He also noted that the Rockets were the best team after the All-Star break and said, "We are either going to add a third star or a top midlevel player to our core and be better next year.

"For me, this story is how wide-open the West is and how we are right there in the mix, and probably the favorite going into next year."

TORONTO -- Some 1.5 million jubilant Raptors fans packed downtown Toronto on Monday for a championship parade that included a shooting and problems with overcrowding.

Two people have "serious but not life-threatening" injuries in connection with the shooting, and two people have been placed in custody, according to police in Toronto. Two firearms were also recovered.

"We have no incidents currently underway. Crowds are dispersing,'' Toronto police spokeswoman Allison Sparkes said.

Asked if it was a targeted shooting or terrorism-related, Sparkes said the investigation was underway.

The shooting occurred at Bay Street and Albert Street on Nathan Phillips Square, which was packed with fans celebrating the Raptors' NBA title.

During a speech from one of the team owners, the host of the rally interrupted the proceedings to say there were dealing with an emergency situation and asked for calm. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; Toronto's mayor, John Tory; Raptors star forward Kawhi Leonard; and other Raptors players were among those onstage at the time. They remained in place, and speeches resumed shortly after.

Mike Mudidi said he was enjoying the celebrations when he heard screams behind him that someone had pulled out a gun. He said he froze as people started running in all directions.

"I just grabbed my buddies' hands and ran,'' he said, noting he was startled but otherwise OK.

Police also dealt with overcrowding at the end of the parade route and had to lift those seeking safety over barricades to help them escape the crowd. A child who was lifted over a barrier and onto a stretcher was among those evacuated.

City officials prevented any further entry into the square and have shut down several subway stations near the parade due to overcrowding.

Tory previously urged every resident to come celebrate the Raptors' first championship and declared Monday "We The North Day" in Toronto, after the franchise's slogan.

Rapper and Toronto native Drake, among the Raptors' best-known fans, was celebrating alongside the players on one of the parade buses.

Nicolas Caramanna, 21, said the crowd started to get rowdy shortly after he arrived at 9 a.m.

"I'm really hot and tired, but I'm going to stick around," he said. "When else am I going to get a chance to do this?"

Many others chose to miss school or work. Cypher Sabanal, 15, said his mom let him skip class to attend the celebration.

"I actually have exams this week, but being here is worth it," he said.

John Moreira called in sick to work so he could be part of Toronto's first celebration of this magnitude since the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series in 1993.

"I told my boss I wanted to be at the parade, and he said there wasn't much he could do if I called in sick, so that's exactly what I did," the 31-year-old said. "I'm looking forward to seeing the whole team. They all work so hard and deserve all the fans being out here."

As the parade inched forward -- discernibly behind schedule -- a number of Raptors could not help but marvel at the fan response.

"It's been amazing," Leonard said. "Thank you, Toronto, thank you, Canada for the support -- we did it."

Several fans were seen carrying signs imploring Leonard to re-sign with the Raptors. The two-time Finals MVP will be a free agent this summer.

Star guard Kyle Lowry, the team's longest-serving member, was seen hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy while his teammates smoked cigars.

"This is unbelievable," he said.

CINCINNATI -- Scooter Gennett began a rehab assignment Monday, the final step in returning from a severe groin injury in spring training that has sidelined the Cincinnati Reds second baseman all season.

Gennett will play five days with Single-A Daytona and move up to Triple-A Louisville to continue the rehab, which will last until he feels ready to come off the injured list. Manager David Bell said Gennett will be back in the starting lineup as soon as he's able.

"We all know he's going to play," Bell said. "He's been a big part of our offense the last few years. There's no reason that would change.

"There may be some limitations at the beginning, to make sure he's healthy and all that."

In the last two years, Gennett has 50 homers and 189 RBI, joining Dave Parker and Deron Johnson as the only Reds to put up such numbers in their first two seasons with Cincinnati. He was an All-Star for the first time last year, when he finished second to Milwaukee's Christian Yelich for the batting title at .310.

The Reds are last in the NL Central at 31-38 with one of the majors' worst offenses and could use Gennett in the middle of the lineup.

Cincinnati claimed Gennett off waivers from the Brewers a day before breaking camp for the 2017 season, and he had a career year. Gennett became the first major leaguer to have four homers, five hits and 10 RBI in a game. He also led the majors with four grand slams, joining Lou Gehrig as the only players with a four-homer game and a four-grand slam season.

Gennett avoided arbitration and settled for a one-year, $9,775,000 deal in 2019. Gennett, who turned 29 in May, is a free agent after this season. He'd like to stay in Cincinnati, but the Reds have held off deciding how he fits in their long-term plans. Several other players are eligible for free agency after the season, including starters Alex Wood and Tanner Roark and right fielder Yasiel Puig. Wood and Puig came to the Reds in an offseason deal with the Dodgers.

Wood also has been sidelined since spring training with a back injury. He'll throw batting practice on Tuesday and again over the weekend. If those sessions go well, he could begin a rehab stint in the minors next week.

National governing body asks for feedback from the athletics community as it conducts a performance strategy review

British Athletics has launched an independent review of its performance strategy with a view to shaping how the national governing body’s World Class Programme (WCP) should operate after the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The consultation invites the athletics community to engage with an online survey to provide a better understanding of perceptions of the current Olympic and Paralympic WCP.

It will be overseen by Vikki McPherson, who competed for Great Britain at nine World Championships over road, track and cross country, and has worked in high performance sport for 20 years.

Alongside the performance strategy review, an independent review of the coaching system at all levels of athletics in the UK is being undertaken. This will be chaired by Malcolm Brown, an experienced coach to numerous athletes at international level over 40 years.

Following the initial survey, British Athletics says the results will be shared and explored in a series of workshops which will consider the wider performance pathway across all athletics disciplines including those outside the Olympic or Paralympic track and field programme. Dates for these workshops are set to be announced later this summer.

“Whilst only a small number of athletes will be members of the WCP at any point in time, it really is essential that the pathways to it and through it should be clear to all aspiring athletes, their coaches and to the stakeholders who support them,” said performance director Neil Black.

“We’re pleased to be able to offer this opportunity for the sport to have input and we’re keen that as many people involved contribute and engage with the consultation across its varied stages.”

The survey is accessible here and will be live until Sunday July 14.

Fourth seed Elina Svitolina suffered a shock defeat on the opening day in Birmingham as she lost 6-3 3-6 6-4 to Russia's Margarita Gasparyan.

The 24-year-old broke the Ukrainian's serve in the opening game on her way to taking the first set.

Svitolina, also 24, who won the WTA Finals event in 2018, secured an early break in the second set to level it.

But Gasparyan gained a 4-1 lead in the deciding set and held on for the victory.

The Russian, who is ranked 62nd in the world and has recently recovered from a career-threatening knee injury, said: "It was a tough time and I didn't know if I could play tennis any more but now I'm here in a big tournament so this is something special for me."

Gasparyan will play either compatriot Ekaterina Alexandrova or Petra Martic of Croatia in the last 16.

British players Heather Watson and Johanna Konta are among those in action later on Monday in the Nature Valley Classic.

There will be a live text page on the BBC Sport website as Konta, who reached the semi-finals of the French Open earlier this month, takes on world number 20 Anett Kontaveit of Estonia.

The competition is being held at the Edgbaston Priory Club and also includes world number one Naomi Osaka, French Open champion Ashleigh Barty and Karolina Pliskova, ranked third in the world.

In the doubles competition, 22-year-old Briton Harriet Dart partners seven-time Grand Slam singles champion Venus Williams and they face the pairing of Nadiia Kichenok of Ukraine and American Abigail Spears.
