The state of Alabama has recently executed Carey Dale Grayson, who became the third inmate in the U.S. to receive the death penalty via nitrogen gas.

Australia took a commanding lead in the Metro Bank ODI series against England as they notched up their third consecutive win with an impressive performance from Alex Carey. The wicket-keeper, who has been in a slump since last year's Ashes series, scored an unbeaten 77 to guide his team to a formidable total of 304 for seven. Despite a valiant effort from the England bowlers, who were led by Brydon Carse with figures of one for 55, Carey's half-century proved too much for the hosts to handle. With this result, England have lost 10 out of their last 14 ODIs, presenting a worrying trend for the once dominant team.
