With the match seemingly heading to a draw, Vokes hooked home from close range off a headed knockdown from Michael Keane to secure Burnley’s fifth successive home win. Burnley have taken all but one of their 29 points at Turf Moor this season while Leicester have yet to win away from home in the current campaign and are slipping perilously close to the drop zone. Leicester are 16th, level on points with Swansea below them and just two clear of the relegation places....

The clip was shared by TikTok user @miabellaceo five days ago and captured the robot carrying plates of food over on in-built shelves. “Here comes breakfast,” said the off-camera voice as the robot server approached from around the corner. The TikTok user confirmed in a comment that a waitress did take their order and serve them coffee, but the robot simply delivered the food. Unsurprisingly, the use of robots in restaurants often causes divided opinions, and this video has been no different....

The footage circulating on Chinese social media platforms Weibo and WeChat were filmed at an event organized on October 21 by furniture factory Meideli, Xi’an-based newspaper Shaanxi Business reported today. The large-scale company event was by invitation only, with selected employees encouraged to display their determination in front of their peers, a manager told the newspaper. Meideli, which is based in the city of Dongguan in South China’s Guangdong Province, is facing accusations of having a “cultish” company culture, according to comments on Twitter-like service Weibo....

Chasing a small target of 189, Dhoni struggled to rotate the strike and got himself into a defensive mindset. He scored the slowest half-century in 16 years, with his 54 runs coming off 114 balls that he faced in the innings. His innings was criticised severely from all quarters. Kohli, however, stated that any batsman can have an off day and that there was nothing to worry about with respect to the former Indian skipper’s form....

After India’s infamous thumping at Adelaide, it was Ravichandran Ashwin’s bowling that set the tone for the historic comeback. He took 3 wickets in Australia’s first innings, which included a duck for Steve Smith. In the second dig, he got the biggest scalp of an in-form Marnus Labuschagne with a cunning delivery. Courtesy of this, India was able to keep the hosts from scoring more than 200 in both stints and eventually won the Test by 8 wickets....

Kohli’s wax figure will join other sports heroes including Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev and Lionel Messi. Kohli’s journey has been phenomenal, from his first-class debut in 2006 to captaining the Indian cricket team, winning the Under-19 World Cup on route.

He had to listen to his dad. He had to stop kicking a ball around in his hometown of Conakry in the West African country of Guinea. And after giving up soccer for a completely unfamiliar game, he had to watch old video tapes of Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon to see what the heck basketball was all about. That’s pretty much how Diakite started on the road from Africa to the University of Virginia and now the Final Four thanks to his game-tying buzzer-beater to force overtime in Virginia’s Elite Eight win over Purdue....

In Second Amendment Sanctuaries, cities have the option of not using public funds to enforce laws that could restrict the gun rights of residents. “If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books then there are going to be some consequences, but I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it,” Northam said, according to WSET....

1. Michael Vick, QB If this were a “best overall football players” list, Bruce Smith would probably be the topper. But Vick’s impact on Tech’s national identity can’t be ignored, nor can his then-unprecedented playmaking ability. A Heisman candidate in 1999 — his redshirt freshman season — Vick led the Hokies to the program’s only national title game appearance. He won the first-ever Archie Griffin Award as college football's most valuable player, as well as an ESPY award as Best College Football Player....

These three mid-rangers offer solid specs, with a strong focus on the camera, with up to 44Mp lenses for the selfie camera, and even more on the rear of the phone. Fast charging, OLED displays, and slim designs reminiscent of the X50 series round out the V20 phones and make them very tempting indeed. Oh, and did we mention the V20 comes with Android 11?

An MRI revealed minor inflammation, but “nothing major,” according to the report. Guerrero suffered the injury in the second inning when he fielded a grounder and threw awkwardly across his body to first base. Manager Charlie Montoyo told reporters afterward that Guerrero’s early exit was a precautionary measure. “He felt a little tweak in his knee so we took him out just in case. So he’s going to get an MRI to make sure he’s fine....

MORE: High-profile athletes turn down Rio Olympics The World Anti-Doping Agency appointed Richard McLaren to conduct an independent investigation into allegations made by Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, the former director of the WADA-accredited laboratory in Moscow. On Monday, McLaren presented a report which found that Russia’s Ministry of Sport “directed, controlled and oversaw the manipulation of athletes’ analytical results or sample swapping”. Responding to the findings in a statement released by the Kremlin, Putin said: “The accusations against Russia’s athletes are based on information given by one single person [Rodchenkov], an individual with a notorious reputation....

It’s rare to see everything go well all the time, though. To wit: over the course of a few minutes on Thursday morning, news broke that St. Louis had signed forward Steve Ott to a two-year deal worth $2.6 million and, per ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun, would lose Vladimir Sobotka to the KHL. MORE: Are Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane overpaid? In short, the Blues overpaid for a bottom-six forward in Ott and will have to do without a more useful player in Sobotka....

After gaining a key interest in cyber security during her media training, Pedrayes now informs followers of safety tips and news. In the light of the holiday season, Pedrayes took to her TikTok account to share a new, rising scam involving store-bought gift cards—something many find themselves buying this month. “Scammers are grabbing gift cards, taking photos of the numbers, and replacing the security tape,” she explained in the video, which has been viewed over 4....

India suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Sri Lankans as they were defeated by 63 runs in the first Test match at The Galle, Sangakkara’s home stadium. The 37-year-old will call time on his Test career after the 2nd Test which begins on August 20 and Kohli said it was an honour to be playing against Sangakkara in his final few matches. “I am sure if a guy who is retiring from the game, I cannot connect to it but I can imagine the kind of emotions he might feel because this is something that he has probably done for the last 20 years day in and day out of everyday life....

The 28-year-old Kohli damaged his right shoulder when diving to save a boundary on the first day of the penultimate test in Ranchi and was off the field during most of Australia’s first innings in the drawn game. “(We will) take a call later tonight or tomorrow,” Kohli told reporters on Friday. The series is tied at 1-1 with the winner-takes-all fourth test starting on Saturday. (Reporting by Amlan Chakraborty; editing by Nick Mulvenney)...

At the end of the Kanpur test against New Zealand, Kohli spoke about Pujara’s capabilities and why the team needs the dependent batsman. “Pujara is someone who absorbs the pressure really well but after a certain stage in the innings there comes a time when the team needs runs.
