LONDON -- Chelsea produced the biggest surprise of the summer transfer window by re-signing David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline-day as Manchester City streamlined its bloated squad by sending a quartet out on loan.Arsenal and Liverpool also offloaded unwanted players on Wednesday.Jack Wilshere is heading on a season-long loan from Arsenal to Bournemouth, which wasnt in the Premier League when the injury-plagued midfielder last completed 90 minutes of club football in September 2014. Liverpool got troubled striker Mario Balotelli off its books, with the Italian joining French club Nice.It was a busy final day of player trading for Premier League clubs, who have collectively spent more than 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) for the first time in a transfer window -- nearly 1.2 billion pounds ($1.5 billion) total by the close of play -- as they reinvest their new bumper television windfalls.Of the 20 top-flight clubs, 13 broke their transfer records.---CHELSEAManager Antonio Conte has been looking to bolster his defense to steer Chelsea back into the Champions League. And a club renowned for bringing back former managers and players went back to the future again by pursuing an unexpected deal to return Brazil central defender Luiz to Stamford Bridge on a three-year contract.British media reports put the transfer fee at around 32 million pounds ($42 million), about 20 million pounds less than Chelsea sold Luiz for in the 2014 summer transfer window.We had a fantastic story during my first time at the club and I want to help the team and Antonio Conte achieve a lot of success, said Luiz, a Champions League winner in 2012 at Chelsea. I always had a wonderful relationship with the fans and I am looking forward to wearing the blue shirt at Stamford Bridge once again.Spanish left back Marcos Alonso also joined Chelsea for a reported 23 million pounds ($30.2 million) to provide competition at left back for Cesar Azpilicueta.Alonso, who previously had spells in England at Bolton and Sunderland, would also be a good option as a left wing back if Conte decides to use a three-man defense.---MANCHESTER CITYAfter an offseason of heavy spending under new coach Pep Guardiola, City sent Joe Hart, Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri, Eliaquim Mangala and Jason Denayer out on loan for the rest of the season.Guardiola has overseen the spending of more than $200 million on new players since taking over as City coach this offseason, and left it late to trim his 30-man squad. It meant getting rid of Citys starting goalkeeper for the past six years, as well as three other players who cost the team a combined 95 million pounds ($125 million).Heading the clear-out was Hart, the England goalkeeper who was loaned to Italian club Torino after dropping to third choice at City behind new signing Claudio Bravo and Willy Caballero.Hart was out of favor at the Premier League leaders because his footwork and passing wasnt up to the level demanded by Guardiola, who likes goalkeepers to help start attacks and be involved in play.Bony, who hasnt played a minute for City under Guardiola, joined Stoke after seeing his career stall since joining from Swansea for 28 million pounds ($37 million) in January 2015.A combination of international call-ups, injuries, illness, poor form and the presence of Sergio Aguero prevented the Ivory Coast striker from establishing himself at City.Nasri was the third player to leave on loan, with the Frenchman heading to Spanish club Sevilla for the season. Guardiola said Nasri returned for preseason training overweight.France center back Mangala also departed to Valencia and Belgium defender Jason Denayer switched to Sunderland for the season.--LEICESTERThe champions broke their transfer record to sign striker Islam Slimani from Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese club said the move to Leicester was worth 30 million euros ($33.5 million), potentially rising by another 5 million euros ($5.5 million).The 28-year-old Slimani is linking up with fellow Algerian Riyad Mahrez, who helped Leicester produce one of the biggest sporting surprises last season by winning the Premier League.---TOTTENHAMThe north London club added three new names before the transfer window closed Wednesday night. Midfielder Moussa Sissoko joined from Newcastle for a reported 30 million pounds ($39 million) and fellow Frenchman, winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, completed his move from Marseille. Goalkeeper Pau Lopez arrived on loan from Espanyol.---RECORDSGabon midfielder Didier Ndong joined Sunderland from French side Lorient for 16 million euros ($18 million), the seventh signing by recently hired manager David Moyes and the biggest up-front fee paid by the club for a player.Burnley said it broke its transfer record for the second time this month in signing Ireland midfielder Jeff Hendrick from second-tier Derby but the fee wasnt disclosed.---OTHER DEALSOf the free agents, former Real Madrid and Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa secured a deal at West Ham and ex-Reading forward Hal Robson-Kanu joined West Bromwich Albion after impressing with Wales at the European Championship.Hull brought in midfielder James Weir from Manchester United and striker Dieumerci Mbokani on loan from Dynamo Kiev. Middlesbrough signed Adama Traore from Aston Villa, while fellow winger Albert Adomah went in the opposite direction to the second-tier club.---Douglas reported from Manchester, England Matthew Stafford Lions Jersey .

Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. Sri Lanka 117 and 6 for 1 (Silva 2*) trail Australia 203 (Voges 47, Herath 4-49, Sandakan 4-58) by 80 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsYou wouldnt know it to look at the wicket tally, but two full sessions have so far been lost in this Test. Two days, four sessions of play, 21 wickets taken. And enough afternoon rain to fill a dam. It was as if the weather gods were conspiring to stretch this Test to a fourth day. Or, come to that, a third. And despite Sri Lankas fightback on day two, Australia still had the upper hand at stumps.It was a day on which Sri Lankas spinners dragged their side back into the contest after their miserable first-innings 117. Rangana Herath was always going to be a threat to Australia in this series and he ran through the top order before lunch. After lunch Lakshan Sandakan spun a web around the tail and prevented Australia extending their lead into triple figures.Sandakans 4 for 58 were the best figures ever by a left-arm wrist-spinner on Test debut, beating Chuck Fleetwood-Smiths 80-year-old record by six runs. Heraths 4 for 49 was no surprise to anyone, his mastery of drift and natural variation causing confusion for Australia. Australia were bowled out shortly before tea for 203, with a lead of 86.The afternoon rain set in at the tea break, but not before Sri Lanka lost a wicket of their own. Kusal Perera, sent out to open instead of Dimuth Karunaratne, lasted only five balls before he was beaten for pace by Mitchell Starc, who trapped him lbw with a fullish delivery for 4. Karunaratne walked to the crease at first drop to join Kaushal Silva (2 not out) but before he could face a ball, the rain came.If cricket is about timing, then Pereras could hardly have been worse. He had spent much of the afternoon keeping wicket after Dinesh Chandimal failed to emerge following the lunch break, a stomach complaint keeping him off the field. It was otherwise a pretty decent day for Sri Lanka, whose main problem was their own poor batting in the first innings.The bowling of both sides, though, has been exemplary. Sri Lanka applied pressure right throughout the second day, Herath and Sandakan bewitching Australia with their variations and Nuwan Pradeep toiling admirably as the sole frontline fast man. Adam Voges was the only batsmman from either side to last 100 balls on a pitch that was perfectly fine for batting.ddddddddddddTwo Australians lost their cool, inexplicably trying to attack Herath before they were settled: Steven Smith in the second over of the day when he danced down the pitch, was beaten in flight while trying to smash one down the ground, and was stumped for 30; and Peter Nevill, who on 2 uncharacteristically tried to go over the infield and lofted a straightforward chance to mid-on.Smiths departure meant Australia were under early pressure and Herath doubled it by trapping Usman Khawaja, the other not-out batsman overnight, in his next over. Coming around the wicket, Herath fired one in quicker and straighter. Khawaja failed to get his bat in the way, and was lbw for 26, having added only one to his score.Voges, who had narrowly survived a big lbw shout first ball - Sri Lankas review showed Heraths delivery was sliding just far enough down leg to remain with the umpires not-out call - led Australias steadying effort and had support initially from Mitchell Marsh. However, on 31 Marsh failed to pick Sandakans wrongun and was bowled to leave Australia at 130 for 5.While Voges remained, Australia could dream of a healthy 100-plus first-innings lead, but he was the only Australian to fall to pace on day two, edging to gully when Pradeep found a little extra bounce. Voges had made 47 from 115 balls and would be one of seven Australians to reach double figures without any going on to post a half-century. Failure to convert starts is a pet peeve for coach Darren Lehmann.The tail wagged a bit, Steve OKeefe occupying the crease for 80 balls for his 23, Starc launching a six in his 11, and Nathan Lyon adding 17 useful runs. But they all found Sandakan hard to pick, and in the end he picked up all of their wickets. Starc edged a conventional wrist-spinner behind, OKeefe was caught at bat-pad off a wrongun, and Lyon was trapped lbw playing his favourite sweep shot.Still, in a low-scoring Test a lead of 86 was not insignificant. And as Perera found out a few minutes later, Sri Lanka still had a mountain of work ahead of them to achieve parity. ' ' '
