France star Aurelien Tchouameni said his team were aiming to make Didier Deschamps ‘as proud as possible’ as they go into their final World Cup group game against Norway on Friday without their coach, who has returned home to attend his mother’s funeral.“It is a difficult time for everyone. Our objective is to make him as proud as possible,” Real Madrid midfielder Tchouameni told reporters at France's base near Boston on Thursday.Deschamps learned the news of his mother's death on Tuesday and has flown back to France to attend the funeral on Friday, before he then returns to the United States to be with his squad."I am thinking a lot about Didier and his family. We are deeply affected by what has happened," said assistant coach Guy Stephan, who will lead the team in their final Group I match against the Norwegians at the Gillette Stadium."I am just trying to make a difficult situation as normal as possible."For Deschamps, the news came the day after France beat Iraq 3-0 in Philadelphia to make it two wins out of two at the tournament and seal their place in the knockout stages."Didier called me early in the morning so I went to see him in his room," said Stephan."He told me the bad news and very quickly he asked me to lead the team until he gets back, which will be on Saturday."Stephan, 69, previously took charge of the France team for a UEFA Nations League game in 2022, following the death of Deschamps' father."I feel like I don't belong here in front of you. I belong on the training ground," Stephan added."This is a cruel situation for Didier and his family and so we need to just get through the third match."France and Norway are level on six points each from two games, meaning both have qualified already. But France have a superior goal difference so will advance as group winners with a draw.The winners of Group I will play a last-32 tie against a third-placed finisher in New Jersey on June 30.The group runners-up will play in Dallas the same day against the runners-up in Group E.Arsenal centre-back William Saliba will not feature for France against Norway as he nurses a back problem.Stephan indicated that Maxence Lacroix of Crystal Palace will replace him in the starting line-up.

Former champions Madison Keys and Jelena Ostapenko stormed into the semi-finals of the Eastbourne WTA tournament on Thursday with commanding straight-sets victories in the Wimbledon warm-up event.Keys, the 2014 and 2023 Eastbourne title-winner, has still to drop a set at this year's edition following a 6-3, 6-1 quarter-final win over McCartney Kessler in an all-American clash on England's south coast.Meanwhile, 2021 Eastbourne champion Ostapenko cruised into the last four with a 6-3, 6-0 defeat of Zeynep Sonmez, despite suffering from heat stroke the previous night. Keys and Ostapenko are the last two seeds left in the women's draw.They each have one Grand Slam singles title to their credit, with Latvia's Ostapenko, 29, the 2017 French Open champion and Keys, 31, triumphing at last year's Australian Open.Keys will face Petra Martinko in her semi-final after the Croatian defeated Caty McNally 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in a gruelling two hours and 18 minutes."I'm very happy with today's performance," said Keys after reaching her fourth semi-final on Eastbourne's grass courts.Former Wimbledon semi-finalist Ostapenko, who will now face Tatjana Maria after she won 6-3, 7-5 against Tereza Valentova, was just pleased to back in action on Thursday."I didn't think I was going to play today," she said. "After the match yesterday at 10:00 pm (2100 GMT) I had heat stroke so I felt really bad."In the parallel ATP men's event, former wold number four Jack Draper continued his promising return from injury under the guidance of British tennis great Andy Murray with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Gabriel Diallo that saw him into his first semi-final since Queen's last year.Draper will now play France's Ugo Humbert at Eastbourne after he defeated compatriot Quentin Halys 6-3, 6-4.And Draper won't be the only British man in the semi-finals at Devonshire Park after 'lucky loser' Toby Samuel enjoyed the biggest win of his professional career with a 6-3, 6-4 success against eighth seed Juan Manuel Cerundolo.Samuel will now face Belgium's Zizou Bergs after he defeated British qualifier Jan Choinski 6-3, 6-3.

New Zealand's Devon Conway (left) and Tom Latham celebrate their record partnership on the first day of the third Test against England at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on June 25, 2026. (AFP) New Zealand's Tom Latham and Devon Conway broke a record that had stood for nearly a hundred years before England skipper Ben Stokes marked his return to international duty by sparking a late fightback on the first day of the third and deciding Test at Trent Bridge.The Black Caps were still well-placed on 361-4 at stumps on Thursday’s opening day, with this three-match series all square at 1-1.But they had been 317-0 while New Zealand captain Latham, capitalising on winning a good toss in sweltering heat, made 151 and fellow left-handed opener Conway 157 before they were both dismissed in the final session to spark a mini-collapse.The two 34-year-olds' partnership was the highest for any New Zealand wicket in a Test against England, surpassing the 276 shared by Stewie Dempster and Jackie Mills at Wellington back in 1930.Not for the first time, however, it was Stokes, recalled alongside paceman Gus Atkinson after missing the hosts' crushing 253-run defeat in the second Test at the Oval for breaking a midnight curfew celebrating his side's win in the series opener at Lord's, who broke through for England.Seam-bowling all-rounder Stokes, almost by force of will, had Latham edging a good-length delivery and wicketkeeper Jamie Smith, who had dropped the New Zealand skipper on 129 after sitting out New Zealand's mammoth victory at the Oval on paternity leave, made no mistake.England's 317-1 became 319-2 in the next over when Conway holed out to part-time off-spinner Joe Root, with substitute fielder Matt Fisher taking a fine running catch at long-on.Rachin Ravindra carelessly skyed Atkinson to Smith and next ball Henry Nicholls, fresh from his century at the Oval, fell for 36 to what became the last ball of the day when caught behind off fast bowler Jofra Archer.But the day still belonged to New Zealand, with Conway, telling Sky Sports he was "pretty happy with the way things have gone".Latham and Conway's four previous partnerships this series - two, nought, 14 and eight - gave no indication of the pair's run-spree on Thursday but they cashed in on ideal batting conditions."We knew that the wicket was going to be quite nice," said Conway, who made a round trip of 23,000-miles (37,000 kilometre) to New Zealand between the first and second Tests to see his new-born baby. "It was important for us to put pressure on the bowling.He added: "It's a little disappointing to have lost two wickets at the end but we've got a lot of batters in the shed so hopefully we can kick on."Recalled off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, who hadn't bowled in a Test in more than a year, almost had Conway out for 18 when a mistimed a drive off a well-flighted delivery just evaded a diving Root at short extra-cover.Stokes brought himself on, to cheers from the crowd, for the 20th over, with New Zealand 64-0 but Conway drove his second ball for four.Latham completed a 149-ball hundred with successive boundaries off Stokes -- a slashing cut followed by a leg-glance. It was his 17th century in 95 Tests.New Zealand were 213-0 at tea, with Latham 109 not out and Conway unbeaten on 94.Conway got to his eighth hundred in 36 Tests with consecutive fours off Bashir, lofting him over wide long-on and square-driving him through point.He then struck superb sixes in successive overs, lofting a Bashir full-toss high over deep midwicket and pulling Tongue over long leg.Conway was on 130 when a diving Ben Duckett could only get the tips of his fingers to a tough chance at square leg.Latham, however, should have been out for 129 when he gloved Atkinson down the legside only for Smith to miss the routine chance as the ball went straight through his gloves and hit his chest.

Vessels at the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam,Oman, June 25, 2026. REUTERS The UN International Maritime Organization paused its programme to shepherd ships and seafarers through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday after a cargo ship reported a suspected attack, reigniting fears over a preliminary deal to end the Iran war. The ship said it was hit close to Oman by a projectile, British navy agency UKMTO said, hours after Tehran warned vessels against taking routes that it had not approved. There was no immediate comment from Iran or the United States on the incident. Four sources identified the ship as the Singapore-flagged Ever Lovely. A security source said it was likely targeted by a drone. The IMO was helping to get hundreds of stranded ships and thousands of seafarers out of the strait where they had been stranded for months since the start of the war in late February. It said it had decided "to temporarily pause its implementation in order to reconfirm that the necessary safety guarantees continue to be in place for the ships on our evacuation list and all those in the region," IMO Secretary General Arsenio Dominguez said in a statement. The IMO said the ship involved in the suspected attack was not part of its evacuation programme. The initiative, which was launched on Tuesday, was a voluntary option for ships and their crew to sail out of the Gulf using two routes - one via Iranian waters and the other via Omani waters, with US oversight, the IMO said this week. Benchmark oil prices rose 1.9% following the reported attack, which analysts said rekindled concerns about how long it could take for Gulf oil flows to resume normal levels. The Oman incident is likely to refocus attention on the extent of Iran's future control over the Strait of Hormuz which, before the conflict,handled a fifth of the world's daily oil and liquefied natural gas supplies. Before the incident, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio - wrapping up a tourof the Gulf to reassure states about the interim pact - told reporters that if Iran threatens or blocks ships in the strait, "then we're going to have a problem." Iran, though, has signalled it would continue to assert control over the strait. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Thursday that safe passage through the strait would only be possible through routes designated by Iran, adding that it would take action against vessels that failed to comply. Earlier, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said shipments through the strait were approaching levels seen before the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, with at least 20 million barrels of oil exiting the strait in the previous 24 hours. During the conflict, Iran took effective control of the vital chokepoint, disrupting oil flows and rattling global energy markets and the wider economy. The war is weighing heavily on US President Donald Trump ahead of November mid-term elections that will determine control of Congress. Just one in four Americans believes the war was worth the cost, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed. Conflicting accounts have emerged over elements of the framework ceasefire deal, which has prompted criticism of Trump at home and abroad. Disagreements persist over financial incentives for Iran, nuclear inspections, control of the Strait of Hormuz and Israel's parallel war in Lebanon. Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, said on Thursday that the US assertion that Iran would spend its unfrozen assets to buy US agricultural products was false. The deal sets up 60 days of talks to tackle thornier issues, including Iran's nuclear programme. Related Story
