CONSOLATION WIN FOR ZIM

Zimbabwe ended a disappointing run of defeats by beating India by 10 runs in the second Twenty20 international at Harare Sports Club to earn a share of the series.

After Chamu Chibhabha hit a career-best 67 to steer Zimbabwe to 145 for seven, an improved fielding performance under stand-in captain Sikandar Raza Butt allowed Zimbabwe to limit India to 135 for nine.

Graeme Cremer claimed three crucial wickets in the Indian innings, and finished with figures of 3 for 18 in four overs.

PAKISTAN TAKE 2-1 LEAD

Sarfraz Ahmed scored 77 and Yasir Shah grabbed four wickets as Pakistan thrashed Sri Lanka by 135 runs in the violence-hit third one-day international and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series in Colombo on Sunday.

All-rounder Mohammad Hafeez made up for a year-long ban on bowling due to a suspect action with a polished 54 as Pakistan piled up 316-4 after electing to bat in the day-night match.

Leg-spinner Yasir then shone with the ball as Sri Lanka were bundled out for 181 in 41.1 overs on a slow pitch at the Premadasa Stadium.

DIBABA'S FEAT

Ethiopian Genzebe Dibaba set a new world record in the women's 1500m at the Monaco Diamond League meet on Friday.

Dibaba, 24, clocked 3min 50.07sec to shatter one of the most controversial records held in recent times -- 3:50.46 run by China's Yunxia Qu in Beijing in 1993.

The two-time world indoor champion's victory never looked in doubt, aided by two pace-setters in perfect running conditions.

1950 WC GREAT GHIGGIA NO MORE 

Alcides Ghiggia, the former Uruguay striker who scored the goal which won the 1950 World Cup against hosts Brazil, died Thursday -- 65 years to the day after his famous strike in the Maracana Stadium that traumatized a nation.

Ghiggia, who was 88, died from a heart attack, his wife Beatriz confirmed to AFP.

He was the last surviving member of Uruguay's 1950 World Cup-winning team.

Speaking about his match-winning goal, Ghiggia once famously told Brazilian television in an interview: "Only three men have ever silenced the Maracana -- the Pope, Frank Sinatra, and me!"

His second-half goal in front of 200,000 spectators in Rio de Janeiro gave Uruguay a 2-1 victory which has passed into football folklore.

405 runs.

BIANCHI LOSES BATTLE FOR LIFE 

French Formula One driver Jules Bianchi died Friday night from head injuries he suffered in a crash at last October's Japanese Grand Prix, his family said.

Bianchi, who would have been 26 next month, had been in a coma fighting for his life under controlled medical conditions in the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire hospital in his home city of Nice, southern France.

BARTOMEU RE-ELECTED 

Josep Maria Bartomeu was re-elected as president of European and Spanish champions Barcelona after seeing off rival Joan Laporta.

Bartomeu, 52, polled 25,823 votes (54.63%) with Laporta, a former president, winning 15,615 votes (33.03%).

Other contenders were businessman Agusti Benedito 3,386 votes (7.16%) and lawyer Toni Freixa with 1,750 (3.70%).

With 47,720 votes counted, the election had the third highest turnout in Barcelona history -- only 2010 with 57,088 votes and 2003 with 51,618 have been greater.

Bartomeu, who took over as president early last year after his predecessor Sandro Rosell stepped down, will lead Barcelona for the next six years.

DREAM DEBUT FOR GERRARD 

Steven Gerrard made a dream start to his Major League Soccer career on Friday, scoring on his full debut as the Los Angeles Galaxy came from behind to beat the San Jose Earthquakes 5-2 in the California Clasico.

Liverpool legend Gerrard, who had played 45 minutes of a friendly for the Galaxy last weekend and appeared as a substitute in a midweek cup match, helped trigger a remarkable fightback after San Jose raced into an early 2-0 lead.

Gerrard's former Liverpool teammate Robbie Keane was the star, scoring a hattrick as the Galaxy romped home.
