TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Wednesday, August 7, the 219th day of 2019. There are 146 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On August 7, 1998, terrorist bombs at US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people, including 12 Americans. On this date: In 1782, Gen. George Washington created the Order of the Purple Heart, a decoration to recognise merit in enlisted men and noncommissioned officers. In 1789, the US Department of War was established by Congress. In 1915, the Wellington Battalion captured Chunuk Bair. The high point of the New Zealand effort at Gallipoli, the attack on Chunuk Bair underlined the leadership qualities of Lieutenant-Colonel William Malone. In 1942, US and other allied forces landed at Guadalcanal, marking the start of the first major allied offensive in the Pacific during World War Two. (Japanese forces abandoned the island the following February.) In 1959, the United States launched the Explorer 6 satellite, which sent back images of Earth. In 1961, Yale psychology professor Stanley Milgram began conducting his controversial human behaviour experiments concerning obedience toward authority figures. In 1964, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, giving Asian, Middle Eastern and African jury convicted a suburban Detroit gun violence over the weekend Serano is 47.

■■CRICKET Aussies take first Ashes blood

Australia won the first Ashes test by a huge margin of 251 runs yesterday after dismissing England for 146 in its second innings on the final day. Offspinner Nathan Lyon was often unplayable with 6-49 and passed 350 test wickets in a remarkable turnaround for the Aus- tralians, who had been reduced to 122-8 in their first innings at a hostile Edgbaston. “It’s disappointing,” England captain Joe Root told the BBC. “We got ourselves in a really strong position.” Allrounder Chris Woakes provided England’s top score with a defiant 37 at No. 9 after the hosts crumbled from 60-1 to 97-7. Woakes was the last man out in the 53rd over to Pat Cummins (4-32), sending the ball to Steve Smith in the slips as England collapsed in the afternoon. England had resumed after lunch on 85-4. Jos Buttler (1) went in the first over, bowled by Cummins, and Jonny Bairstow was then caught by Cameron Bancroft off Cum- mins for his 100th test wicket. In what has been a nightmare test at times for the on-field um- pires, Bairstow opted to review Joel Wilson’s decision but he was unsuccessful, leading one BBC pundit to exclaim “Joel’s got one right!” Lyon reached the 350-wicket landmark when Ben Stokes (6) was caught behind. The spinner went on to dismiss Moeen Ali for his five-for and had Stuart Broad caught by Smith for a golden duck. Jimmy Anderson came out to bat despite lingering injury con- cerns – he bowled only four overs in the entire test – and denied England’s Jonny Bairstow sinks in despair after being dismissed by Australian paceman Pat Cummins on day five of the first Ashes Lyon his hat-trick. test at Edgbaston.

■■FOOTBALL Valuable win for MCUFC

Mid Canterbury United needed to win big on Saturday to improve their all important goal differen- tial, and that’s exactly what they did. They picked up a massive 10-0 win over Nomads United AFC at the Ashburton Domain on Satur- day which meant they picked up some much-needed ground on the other main contender to take out the Mainland Football division one title, the Halswell United 1964s. It all added up to mean that with just one game to go, the race to the finish couldn’t be much closer. Mid Canterbury United are still in the same spot on the ladder that they’d been in for a while now – the top spot – but they are also still tied on points with the Halswell United 1964s. The two teams both have 14 wins, a loss and a draw to their names from their 16 outings this season, but the area where the Halswell side had an edge was on goal difference. And it was a de- cent edge, until Saturday. But Mid Canterbury United’s big 10-0 win over Nomads saw them make up almost all of the difference, making for an interesting final round which will decide who finished on top.
